I use a Lenovo desktop computer that I have used along with the Firefox browser for about 3 years and never had any problems until now. For the past two days it takes up to a couple of minutes to for the Firefox browser to open a page. While the page is loading, I get at the bottom right corner of the screen "performing a TLS handshake." I vaguely understand this terminology but am not an expert on the subject. This "handshake" repeatedly occurs with all sites that I open daily with the Firefox browser. The pages usually open within a couple of seconds. Now it takes minutes and sometimes doesn't open at all. I have difficulty opening even the Firefox home page and when it finally opens, it is incomplete? Do you have any suggestions that might help me?

I must add that the internet connection from my provider, Eastlink, located in Nova Scotia, Canada, is by Ookla tests very slow, ranging from 40 to 55bps instead of the regular150bps or higher. I don't know if the problem is with my desktop or with the provider and the provider has not responded to my telephone request with any information that explain where is the source of the slow internet speed problem.

Normally, when zoom in on a web page in Firefox, the page will adjust so the page content is still visible, by insisting the magnified content is still visible, or a vertical scroll bar is created to reveal the content.

I also run into pages where the content is only visible when the page is 100% or less.

Can this be adjusted?

Thunderbird for Android: When sending a message, the copy moved to the Sent folder is not marked as "read" after moving. Messages sent from the Android client and subsequently auto-filed into "Sent" or "Sent Mail" are still marked as "unread" after the move. They should be marked as "read" as part of the move, just like with the Windows client. I've searched the various Settings and I can't find any related setting.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

I didn't see anything better in choices when setting topic in the "Which topic best describes your question?" related to the site having both English and Spanish mixed together. See attached images. To fix this I log out - delete the login cookies and cache, close browser, revisit Thunderbird site.

Using Thunderbird, when updated to version 148 (64 bit) the highlighted color is dark and does not contrast to the text color (black) so it is hard to read. How to change the color? or the color of the text?

I closed 1 tab on my phone through the desktop synced tabs. Since then, Firefox has been continously sending me notifications about the tab being closed. I've clicked on the notification to open the app, but I still keep getting this.

All of a sudden, i can not log on to my email accounts. I get a "failed" message for all 3 accounts. I get this message. Login to server mail.westpeake.com with username redacted@westpeake.com failed. Brian West www.westpeake.com

I've recently set up Thunderbird on Linux Mint 22.2 and was unable to sign into Yahoo so I tried to sign in with Firefox instead and had the same errors :-

   Something went wrong
   We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device.

OR

   We couldn’t sign you in
   Change your browser settings to continue. Try the following:
   Turn off ad blockers
   Enable JavaScript
   If you still can’t sign in, try a different device.

I can sign in with Chrome without any problems on the same workstation. Firefox version :- 147.0.4 (64-bit)

   Only Extension is Privacy Badger, but this is disabled for Yahoo.com

Thunderbird version :- 148.0 (64-bit)

   No extensions - as installed from Thunderbird download site

I'm not having any issues signing into any other websites / email accounts (Google, Hotmail).

I notice on the support website :- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo it says "Starting with version 148, Thunderbird is switching to a more secure authorization protocol PKCE for Yahoo" BUT this isn't offered in the list of Authentication methods, has PKCE been delayed? Currently using OAuth2 for Thunderbird

I'm missing the pop-up control on the android version, it simply not there? Problem is, in DK wee have a id approval function called mitId (my ID) I'll typically pop up as result of a payment of larger amounts, therefore the block exception is mandatory for that site. But the control is missing in android  ! I just got a payment rejected due to the bank couldn't verify my identity, I had to reenter Amazon in Chrome to finish the payment, rather silly ! Are there any way to bypass the missing?

I've seen a lot of questions online about making just the icons on the taskbar larger. With the greying of America (all of those boomers out there), many of us are not able to see the miniscule icons that firefox has anymore. Please help! Many thanks!!

Also, I've tried clicking the box below in order for an email to be sent to me when someone answers this question, but it won't check. Could you please email me or have the program email me when someone answers the question? I'm sending this from my logged in account. [edited email from public community support forum]

I just wonder if it’s the right version because sometimes your phone will download the wrong version. It’s outdated version and you don’t really know so if this is possible, I would really wanna make sure I have the right version for iPhone and I use default for Firefox sometimes it works very well and sometimes it doesn’t make it move to imagery and colors in the pictures of like the award that you go in when you go to tycoon so that’s why I’m not asking you shouldn’t be that way.

Hello, everyone,

Tried to download Firefox onto my android mobile, but it kept saying I have to get the app from google.

Due to my ‘thing’ about internet security, I will not use google at any price!

Can you direct me to where I might get the app elsewhere, please?

Thanx very much,

KR CJAB
