Good day, The issues that I am encountering are explained below. The solution found after hours of research is uBlock Origin : https://ublockorigin.com/. Do you know which filters and rules should be applied to exclude the Wikimedia Foundation and all of its derivatives from the results provided by my search engine? Please share your knowledge. Sincerely. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am utilizing Firefox ESR 128.10 desktop version on the Linux operating system. I wish to conduct research on the internet, utilizing the Startpage search engine. I would like to exclude the following sites from my search results: wikipedia.org, the Wikimedia Foundation, and any affiliated websites, regardless of the language or location settings configured.

What is the correct approach to establish a customized Startpage search profile excluding all Wikimedia Foundation sites? What is the proper setting to create a persistent and customized search engine configuration that excludes all Wikimedia Foundation domains even after an operating system update or reinstallation? Is it permitted to manually manage a customized search engine?

I have been advised to utilize an add-on or create a dedicated profile.

What would be the most suitable solution in my case, and the one that will be the most effective and stable ?

It is unfortunate that mozilla-firefox does not appear to offer a 'blacklist' or exclusion list feature, as that would be the most direct approach to excluding the Wikimedia Foundation websites from the search results.

I thank you kindly for all of your suggestions and responses to come. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Is there any addon or feature within addons management icon (from toolbar) to Disable Extensions and Apps in one-click like Chrome has via this addon?

currently using FF; I do NOT have any ad blocking software installed ( that I know of) I searched my computer for the word block, and it did not show it anywhere. I also have Mozilla Seamonkey installed, but not using it. Each time I visit a news website I get a popup that claims Im using an ad blocker. I have searched all those adbocker pgms on my computer and none exist. Why am I getting these pop ups. I think I also checked the AVG pgm, but didnt see an adblocker there. How do I fix this situation from continuing

The Firefox Translations add-on has been discontinued and no longer works. As a foreign language learner, I found it very useful to open the Firefox Translations popup, enter some text, and have that text translated locally. Is there an alternative that has the same functionality?

Hi there, I'm experiencing an issue with the Microsoft Teams add-on in Thunderbird, specifically when using it with multiple Microsoft Exchange accounts.

Issue Description:

Previously, I was able to select between accounts using the Teams icon in the toolbar without any problems. However, after switching operating systems, the behavior has changed:

• When I hover over the Teams icon in the toolbar, the account selection menu appears as expected.
• As soon as I move the mouse to select an account from the menu, the menu disappears immediately before I can click anything.
• I've made sure that the mouse doesn't leave the icon or jump erratically, but the menu still vanishes every time.

This only started happening after I changed my OS. On my previous setup, the add-on worked fine.

Fixes Attempted:

• Removed and re-added the Exchange Accounts
• Reinstalled the Owl for Exchange add-on
• Fully uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, including manually deleting the profile data folder
• Disabled hardware acceleration

So far, nothing has resolved the issue, and I haven’t found any other reports of this specific behavior online.

The attached image shows the account selection menu when hovering over the teams add-on, but as soon as the mouse moves over to the menu it disappears.

System and Application Details:

• Thunderbird Version: 139.0.1 (64-bit)
• Operating System: Kubuntu 25.04
• Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.3.4
• Display Manager: X11
• Kernel Version: 6.14.0-15-generic (64-bit)

Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Why have ratings of reviews on Amazon disappeared and how do I restore that feature? I do not see a price tag in the upper righthand corner. I'm running Firefox on a PC w/Windows 10.

How do I move an addon from the TOOLBAR into the PUZZLE PIECE list? I can get them OUT onto the Toolbar.

Also, the Customize Toolbar / overflow menu won't accept anything, the addon just pops back out when dragged from the Toolbar.

Whitelisting WebSites When I asked this, a Mozilla page popped up entitled Firefox Focus ... described whitelisting but am not sure if this is integral or Firefox Focus is an extension ?

I recently added the Send Later add-on, but, when I click on the "Send Later" button, a pop-up briefly appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. Is there any solution to this? Thank you in advance.

Every now and then a folder flag will change to the drafts flag/icon, it seems to be a random occurrence which can happen to any sub-folder. Up until the most recent Thunderbird upgrade I had a working extension called FolderFlags which allowed me to go into the Folder properties and change it back but that extension no longer works with the latest version of Thunderbird and there is no alternative extension. How do I change the flag back to it showing as an ordinary sub-folder in my Inbox instead of Drafts? As an interim measure I've created a new sub-folder and copied the emails from the old into the new but that's not ideal at all. I hope somebody will create an updated extension but has anyone any other suggestions please?

I am a member of Nielsen Computer App. Why did Firefox quit allowing me to use/add this extension?? I guess if this is going to be a problem I will uninstall Firefox AGAIN and go with Chrome. I really like Firefox, but this is so upsetting that I cannot add the Nielsen Extension like before.

I'm trying to setup tbsync to use with Google Contacts. I'm running 128.12.0 esr. I've installed tbsync and Google-4-tbsync.

I followed the instructions to create Google credentials, but where do I put them? And the account setup for tbsync asks for a "client secret" - what's that?
