Hi everyone ! Using Firefox in Fedora 28 xfce, the Firefox window can't keep it's maximized state as I quit a fullscreen video. I need to re-maximize it again every time. As a workaround, I noticed it happens only if I hide the titlebar (customize options). But since I would prefer to keep the titlebar hidden, any idea please how I can stop Firefox to "unmaximize" the window each time I quit a fullscreen video ?

I build/run a LFS system. My latest build, with gcc-7.3 by the way, of ff-52.8.0esr & ff-52.8.1esr "keeps" crashing, depending on the website--hasn't crashed right here yet . LFS doesn't use the crash-reporter option, but I have this: Jun 11 10:01:42 myhost kernel: Web Content[19060]: segfault at fffe8 ip 00007f063c961de1 sp 00007ffd4e33eab0 error 4 in libxul.so[7f0639f1e000+3e80000] Jun 11 10:03:42 myhost kernel: Web Content[26699]: segfault at fffe8 ip 00007f67f1fe7de1 sp 00007ffc9785a920 error 4 in libxul.so[7f67ef5a4000+3e80000] I've seen similar reports using gcc-[89]*, only 7.3 here. One expects esrs to be stable. Does this help?

I'm running TB 52.8.0 64-bit on Linux. Last week, I noticed that I no longer have the preferences drop down on messages that allow me to show remote content. TB simply displays the warning "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message".
I've checked the solutions here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1196150 but nothing helped and my settings were already set properly.
This just started last week. If I go into preferences and check the box to always show remote content, that works, but of course, that's not what I want. I want to be able to selectively choose again. I've also tried customizing the button bar on the preview/message, but the preferences button is not an option there.

Just wondering which theme/UI system the Thunderbird 60 Beta is using. In the older versions (including the latest v52.x build) my scrollbars still have top & bottom arrows. In TB Beta v60.x, those arrows are now gone. Would like to put them back where they belong, and don't want to have to hunt down some ugly, unmaintained theme to do it.

Lubuntu Linux 18.04 and TB 52.8.0. I just recently decided to try to fix this. Has been with me for a few recent updates of TB (49.x?) and Lubuntu (16.?). I don't mind losing recent entries if the solution is to zero out/delete a file. A mix of 17 IMAP and POP accounts with a large local folder tree. Some mail data from the 90's. Drive has never run out of space.

Starter details:
OS Ubuntu 18.04
Thunderbird Version:52.8.0 (64-bit)
I have come across an instance of usecase oversight, where, when you select multiple emails to "save as" locally, save them, and then repeat for the same, now pre-existing saved emails, it asks individually, what you would like to do with every one with no option to "apply chosen option to all instances" or similar.
Simply put, if I recently saved 1-2k emails locally using "Save As" then attempt to re-save them all, I get individual prompts for all 1-2k msgs and the only way to stop is to pkill thunderbird in terminal

How to search for a tab across all containers?

Expected behaviour: When I start typing into the URL bar (awesomebar) Firefox suggests possibilities including already open tabs, giving me the "switch to tab" option. I can even restrict the suggestions to tabs only by starting the typing with "% ".
Observed behaviour: As above except Firefox suggests tabs only if they are in the same container as the current tab. (The default container does not seem to be special in this respect.)
I would like a way to find a tab by typing in part of its URL or title, without having to know which container it is in. Is there any way to achieve this at present? If not, please treat it as a feature-request (or even a bug-report... is the existing suggestions/search feature intended to work across containers or not?)
Emails in my inbox are randomly having a peach highlight applied

Thunderbird 52.8.0 (64 bit) Kubuntu 18.04 LTS.
In the main list of emails window (i.e. showing subject, from etc, etc) some of my emails are randomly having a peach-coloured highlight bar appearing behind them in the list. I cannot identify a cause of this - I have no tag set to do this and I have ensured that the emails in question are not tagged, or marked in any way. In fact, this morning two emails which were received over night (i.e. while I was AFK, although Thunderbird was running) have appeared like this, but as I've been AFK it's not possible that it's related to something I've pressed.
I've attached a screenshot (I've blurred it for obvious privacy/GDPR reasons) - you can see the two peach-highlighted emails in there (the blue on is just the currently selected one).
Why is this happening, and can I disable it?

Hello everyone,
A few months ago I opened Firefox and noticed that every website I was visiting was in English (I am French so my preferred language is French by default on most of the websites which allow language settings). I didn't change any setting or delete my history the days before. Websites I used to visit almost every day were in English too. I partially solved the problem and the set language as French in websites settings.
But a few days ago, this issue appeared again. The bug is worse than the first time because now I can't solve it : - Evey time I open YouTube the language is set as English. - I have activated the 2-step verification on my google account and every time I login in YouTube I receive a message on my mobile phone which gives me a verification code even if I check the box "Don't ask again on this computer". - I have an account on a website and I want to stay logged in, but every time I reopen FIrefox I have to reenter my password. I didn't need to do that just a few days ago.

Hello everyone,
During the last few month I noticed a bug happening when I am playing sound on Firefox (like a YouTube video). This bug appears especially when I pause or go forward or backward on a video. The sound suddenly has bad quality and constant cracklings, and I can't understand the video anymore. At the beginning I thought it was a YouTube issue, but this problem happened on other websites too. It's not an issue caused by my laptop or my loudspeakers because I don't have any issue when I play music directly on my computer.
To solve the problem, I have either to close Firefox completely (close only the problematic tab doesn't solve anything) or to open a new Firefox window and slip it in the old one (I am sorry if my explanation isn't clear but I can't upload screenshots...).
