Well, I am in a real mess. Three days ago I lost the ability to access my favourite website. I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. The website owner has told me that it is not a problem with my account with them so it must be a Firefox issue. Before this happened I had been trying to move and delete files on my laptop and have got very confused about EVERYTHING. In that I had deleted my Firefox recovery folder(s). I have managed to move them back into my Home folder before they expire. Now I am being asked to enter my "password" to initiate the restore. But the several Firefox passwords in my laptop are not being accepted. How can I get a new password? If that is not possible do I have to delete my Firefox account? What is my best way to recover from this mess? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am struggling to set up calendar and contacts sync between Thunderbird (v155@ubuntu26.04) and my google account. I use a university account to access google services, so my google account is not some.name@gmail.com but some.name@myuniversity.cz. I understand that Thunderbird somehow needs to invoke OAuth2 process with google, but I do not know, what to fill in the "Hostname" or "Location" fields for Contacts and Calendar, respectively. Any help? Thank you.

When trying to view my address book (which I did a few days ago) no address book appears. Instead, I am invited to - Address remote address book - Create a local address book - create a new LDAP Address book

Says 0 address books available. But it was there a few days ago.

Thunderbird has stopped getting messages and 'get messages' doesn't work & I have to close & restart thunderbird to receive them. Nothing has changed with the email client itself.

I know messages have arrived by checking my providers phone app, but for Thunderbird to download them to my PC I now have to restart Thunderbird to get new messages

On the Firefox mobile app, closed tab groups still count toward the open tabs count on some screens. This is frustrating as someone who likes to keep track of my open, active tabs accurately.

Not sure if this is an intended feature or not, but it is frustrating nonetheless.

I had problem with a certain website, did trouble shooting mode and refreshed FireFox. Website works now but I keep seeing this when FIreFox starts. I set FireFox starts with default Firefox Home. Any suggestion how to correct this nuisance?

My folders are in disarray and it is cutting into my productivity to file emails. I have tried but it in settings but it doesn't work. Many are in alpha order but there are 2 different two different sections of the same name, and some odd files end up in an alphabetized section.

For instance there are 2 different ZBV sections with other stray folders in the same area that should be in there own alpha folder area. It's a mess to find the right folder. I have to scroll up and own and look for the folder I need to file in. I would be happy to donate, and i have in the past, but I really need this to get fixed. Please, please, please...

Hello! My Firefox browser is currently in a state where all fonts/letters in the Firefox interface (bookmark bar, settings, about page, website name...) are replaced by undecipherable characters.

I've searched for similar problems already and tried so far the following steps to resolve, unsuccesfully...

• Opening the browser in Safe Mode / Deactivating all extensions
• Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox

• Disabling hardware acceleration
• Trying on another profile




When I copy paste said text to another window (ex: Notepad, Chrome Browser…) it appears properly. And as you can see in the screenshots below the text in actual websites is readable -- only the browser's interface, setting, address bar... are scrambled.

Does that bug rings any bell? Do you have any other troubleshooting steps I should try to resolve this? Any help will be appreciated! : )

After the lake Ontario disaster by the Mad King, I do not want to use Google or Apple and anything I don’t have to. How do I make Firefox and Mozilla my default settings on my mobile as I’ve already done it on my computer.

I mostly watch YouTube channels on Firefox on my laptop, but recently have had to change over to Microsoft Edge browser to watch YouTube. The reason is that during a channel stream, when an ad wants to play, YouTube and Firefox freeze and the only way to exit the screen is to either attempt to close YouTube or even open Task Manager to shut down all instances of the Firefox software. Firefox is by far my preferred browser and I'm frustrated that it is unusable in its current state. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but this did not work. Thank you in advance for your help.

My browser window (not my private browser window, however, is starting to show text in web pages as a reverse Hebrew font. I can't figure out why. Translations are turned off and it happens on a lot of different sites. There is a screenshot attached. How can I make it stop!!!

Jumping to a discussion in an Article at another sit from a comment in discus.com does not open the comments section using Firefox as it does in Chrome I have to copy the link and paste it into Chrome to get to the comment’

This is absolutely driving me out of my mind, I no longer have a tiny drag space above my tabs- when I 'customizem toolbar' and try to add a flexible space above them, I can't. The only solution is to constantly have the menu bar turned on, and at that point I'd just opt out of FF. I cannot figure out why this happened, and I cannot seem to fix it- please help me

Up until recently (apologies, I do not know which version) when editing userContent.css on Debian 12 in the ' Developer Tools ' I could just use CTRL+S to save my changes and all was well.

Now it appears to have forgotten where it loaded in the first place, because (when using the shortcut or the 'save' link under the name on the left) it just opens the user's home folder at its root level or ' ~/ ' ...

Is this a bug that I should raise at bugzilla? Or has another bug fix messed this functionality up somewhat?

This is the ' mozilla-deb ' / ' Mozilla Firefox Debian Package ' currently at version 154.0 which is usually updated weekly.

I have many years and email accounts on my old WIN10 workstation running all POP installations.

I have a new workstation with WIN11. Is it possible to install TB on my new workstation with my accounts installed as IMAP and keep the same folder configuration? I have many email folders and filters setup on the old workstation installation.

I would appreciate any installation recommendations. I've been using TB for years and would like to keep as much of the current configuration as possible.

Hello,

We need help with Mozilla Thunderbird and OAuth2 access to Google Workspace accounts. This worked for years and recently started failing.

Setup — two SEPARATE Google Workspace organizations, in the same Thunderbird profile:

Workspace A — egkt.hu (separately administered) → does NOT block Thunderbird. Works fine on a clean machine where it is the only account. Workspace B — egyensulyintezet.hu (a different organization, different admin) → blocks Thunderbird with admin_policy_enforced.

Already tested / ruled out (NOT a client, machine or network issue): - A personal @gmail.com account (no Workspace policy) sends perfectly from the same Thunderbird. - egkt.hu works standalone on a clean macOS machine. - No antivirus/TLS interception (Defender scan clean, hosts file default, certificate valid), no proxy (system + Thunderbird), TCP to smtp.gmail.com:465 succeeds, fails on both office network and mobile hotspot, ports 465 and 587.

Our questions: For Workspace B (egyensulyintezet.hu): please confirm this is the API controls → App access control policy blocking third-party apps, and advise how to mark the Thunderbird OAuth client ID (above) as Trusted so users can use Thunderbird. Is it expected that a blocked account from one Workspace can interfere with the OAuth login of an account from a separate Workspace in the same Thunderbird profile? If so, how do we prevent that?

Thank you, Sebastian

The autocomplete dropdowns for form fields have recently changed appearance, and I strongly prefer the previous, simple design.

The new version has:

• Clock icons next to autocomplete/history entries
• Much more vertical padding, making the list unnecessarily large
• Rounded "pill-shaped" highlighting when hovering over an entry

The previous autocomplete list was much more compact and clean, without the clock icons, excessive padding or rounded hover backgrounds.

Is there currently a setting, `about:config` preference or other supported way to restore the old autocomplete list appearance?

Ideally, I would like to use the previous style:

• No clock icons
• Compact rows with the previous amount of padding
• No rounded/pill-shaped hover effect
• Otherwise retain the existing autocomplete functionality

If there is no setting to restore the old appearance, could an option be added to allow users to choose between the old and new autocomplete UI?

I updated to Firefox v155 today and noticed immediately that video is washed out. Please see attached image. Firefox is on the left and Safari is on the right. I haven't updated my laptop yet and video looks 100x better.
