I'd like to permanently delete an account that was set up on a former employers email address (email which I can no longer access). Unfortunately I have no secondary email address recorded in the account and all the options on my account page require that I authorise any changes from the email account which I can no longer access.

Is it possible to delete the account?

Hi,

I hope you are well.

I have set up 11 custom devices that max the min and max sizes of bootstrap grid system (xs-min-360w, xs-max-575, etc) to aid me with checking my website on various screen sizes. Is there anyway to export this list or better still to synch them with my Firefox account so I don't lose these settings?

I am using Firefox Developer Edition (101.0b6 (64-bit)) on Ubuntu 20.04.

Many thanks Kaz

Hi,

Where can I find up-to-date information about WebExtension development for Firefox for Android?

If I go to pages like https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/developing-extensions-for-firefox-for-android/ or https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/differences-between-desktop-and-android-extensions/ I am getting info that is veeery old and with a bunch of warnings.

So my questions are: 1) What sort of environment should I set up to develop and debug extensions? 2) More importantly: where can I find a full documentation of APIs that I can use in my extension in the latest version of FF for Android. 3) Where can I expect to find timely support if I run into problems developing an extension?

Thanks.

I completely rebuilt my system. Processor, MB SSD,s etc. When I reinstalled Thunderbird, and set up the connection to GMail, it started downloading messages from 2012.... Obviously, I don't need or want those messages. I've cleared the trash & spam folders at Gmail online, so I really don't know where these messages are being dredged up from. How do I tell T-Bird to only grab the last years worth of email messages?

Please change the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing Server (SMTP)'." Can you help? Was on the phone with Frontier for an hour - they say incoming settings are correct (no problem receiving emails), as well as outgoing. We tested sending an outgoing message from their webmail server, which was successful. Thanks, dbleagle

This is a maddening bug! I know it started with the recent update to Firefox 100 because the behavior only started AFTER updating and I did not change ANY settings in Windows 10, let alone any related to the keyboard. Please fix this bug!!

I double-checked this setting for Backspace key navigation. Here's what I did:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.backspace_action and pause while the list is filtered

When I did this I saw the value was set to 2 (do nothing) so something else is causing this bug!

Firefox spontaneously stopped working. When attempting to launch, got message "Profile Missing Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." However the profiles folder had not been moved: (Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles). I tried reinstalling Firefox. But got the same message when attempting to launch ("Profile Missing Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.") even though the profile folder was still there (Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles) and containing all of the usual files. I then removed all Firefox files from my hard drive before reinstalling again. Still no luck (and still the same "profile missing" message). However, this time the Library/Application Support/Firefox/ folder only contained two subfolders: "Library/Application Support/Firefox/Crash Reports" and "Library/Application Support/Firefox/Pending Pings" The "Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles" was now missing. I don't know why a new Profiles folder (and profile) would not be created, but in any case, I had saved my old Profiles folder on a separate hard drive before uninstalling Firefox previously. I copied this old Profiles folder into the "Library/Application Support/Firefox" folder but I'm still getting the message "Profile Missing Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." when attempting to run/launch Firefox. This is a mystery. I have read all of the "Working with Profiles" articles on this forum as well as the "Install and Update" articles but have not been able to find a solution. Running OS 11.6.4 Thanks

I have been using Firefox as my browser for as long as I can remember and yesterday it became semi-unresponsive (would not load). Then after restarting my computer and doing everything else I could think of - I got it to load and my previous session was restored. All the tabs were there . . . but none of them would respond. In CONTROL PANEL I even tried REFRESHING Mozilla Firefox short of Uninstalling. (That did nothing.) I tried downloading the latest version. It installed . . . , but, the old one is GONE. The new one DOESN'T WORK. In the search box it suggests youtube, facebook, etc. . . . NONE OF THEM WORK.

Hello dear firefox developpers.

Recently i realized firefox is not saving cache where it used to. that happens some versions ago to now.

By a sudden necessity, i need to access images stored in cache by facebook.

however, firefox has moved its cache, and have no idea where it stores it now.

the second point, is, if there is any way of "surf" cache, im not sure but i wonder, the cache is not what used to be, a collection of files related to what you surfed in the web, videos, htmls, pictures, etc.

I seems the cache now works in a different way, making solid archives composed of many images-videos..., instead of separate files for every image-video.


So, in a brief, 2 things:

- where is cache now - how can i access files in it, (images videos ..)

PD:im using ubuntu 20.04 PD2:have a nice day, and thanks. PD3: trolls will be attended in office hours
