As per the picture, when sending an email, the menubar 'partly' appears. Yes, if you press <Alt>, it shows normally, but when it's supposed to be hidden, it's still there...

Thanks.

I have bookmarks saved in folders on the Bookmarks Toolbar, when i open the folders the list is drop down as usual but using the mouse wheel is too fast. I recently adusted mouse settings in about:config for smoother scrolling on webpages. Is there a separate mouse wheel setting for the bookmarks?

For example, if one moves their mouse button close to the bottom edge of their browser window, holds down the left mouse button then drags the mouse further down to the edge of the browser window, it will begin to scroll downward. The same thing happens on the right edge of the window if there's a horizontal scroll bar for the page.

Does anyone know of a way to disable this? Is there something in about:config maybe? Thanks.

I am trying to disable the text segmentation behavior in latest Firefox(v151), but I have encountered an issue where changing the preference in [about:config] does not seem to have any effect.

Details:

   Target Preference:  intl.icu4x.segmenter.enabled
   Current Setting:       false

   Problem: 
   Even after setting this to false (and restarting the browser), the text segmentation behavior (such as word selection logic) remains unchanged and appears to still be using the ICU4X engine.

   Reference:
   https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440483#answer-1638092

I would like to know:

  1.  Has this preference been deprecated or hardcoded to true in recent versions of Firefox?

   2. Is there any other way to disable the ICU4X-based segmenter or revert to the previous segmentation logic?

   3. If this is a known change, is there an alternative preference to adjust how word selection handles specific languages (e.g., Japanese)?

I am using the latest version of Firefox. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

On my Android samsung phone, I often need to switch from Firefox app to Aquamail app and then back to Firefox app .

The reason is to read the code sent to confirm identity (for MFA)

The concern is when I'm back to Firefox app, it refreshes the Firefox page and ... the browsed website send again another code in a new mail... This loop prevents me definitively the connection to the browsed website!

(Unless I have a separate PC to read mails without leaving Firefox app on my phone).

It happens for about 75% of the websites I need. And is probably linked to the manner the different websites are written.

I precise than I accepted cookies from all these websites ( hotels, regular buying, electric car loading, etc).

What can I do on Firefox options or on Android options to avoid the concern, which is really a blocking point  ?

Thanks for any help. Ulysse

Thunderbird 153 in Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE.

I use Waterfox installed via flatpak as my default browser. Unfortunately Thunderbird's Oauth2 verification pages don't open correctly in that browser, due to some of the browser add-ons I have installed in Waterfox.

I also have Firefox and Chromium installed. I want Thunderbird to always ask which browser to use before it opens a link. I followed instructions I found in multiple places on the internet:

• Open config editor
• Set network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https to true
• Restart Thunderbird
• Click a https (or http) link in an email: Waterfox opens
• Settings-General-Files & Attachments: There is now an Action dropdown for https (or http) with options 'Always ask', 'Use Web Browser (default)', 'Use other...' and 'Delete Action'. The current selection is 'Use Web Browser (default).
• Change Action to 'Always ask'
• Restart Thunderbird
• Click a https (or http) link in an email: Waterfox opens again, even though 'Always ask' is still the selected action.
• Restart Thunderbird.
• Settings-General-Files&Attachments: The https (or http) action has now changed back to 'Use Web Browser (default)'

How do I get Thunderbird 153 to ask which browser to open for a web link?

Trying to remove the mouse-over to reveal the address bar while I am in fullscreen. It's annoying and gets in the way. I tried a previous answer from like 8 years ago but it didn't work. Really wish we had toggles for these things so we didn't HAVE to use them.

If you are using the release level of 153, and prefer not to see the Thundermail menu entry, do these two things:

Add this statement to the userControl.css file: /* ##### Stop display of Thundermail menu item. */ @media not -moz-pref("mail.accounthub.thundermail.enabled") {

 #tbpro-menu-id-root { 
   display: none; 
 } 

}

Set this entry in Config Editor to FALSE: mail.accounthub.thundermail.enabled

Hello.

I've found myself to rely on Firefox for some specific workflows that require sending emails that are generated automatically by a website, and I use it across multiple devices, such as Windows, macOS.

Unfortunately, when it comes to iOS, using the aforementioned website, when tapping the relevant "mailto" button, nothing happens.

Some months ago the specific website that I use, was failing to do this action on any webkit browser, but this was later patched by the developer and the flow now works correctly within Safari. This was caused by stricter enforcement of "user-initiated" actions.

Unfortunately it seems that Firefox isn't either capable of invoking the mail client, or get the data from the website properly.

When I click an email open, More than HALF the screen is taken up by a fixed Header. This leaves only 2" high to read the email. Can I change this and get a page to read the mail? I do not half a page to see date and time etc. an no space to read the mail. Its terrible!

When I use ChatGPT in the Firefox sidebar, I can open a conversation normally. However, when I hide the sidebar and then show it again, ChatGPT leaves the conversation I had open and returns to the main page.

The conversation is not deleted from my history, but I have to find and reopen it every time I hide the sidebar.

Is there a setting that allows the sidebar to keep the same ChatGPT conversation open after hiding and reopening it? Is this normal behavior, or could it be a Firefox bug?

I am using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 11.

I had to reinstall everything after a Windows glitch. I always liked to have Thunderbird show a list of my emails with a window below to show the content of emails I selected in the list. But now I can't find anything in settings to allow me to do that.

Subject: Persistent Column and Folder Layout Issues — Not Being Saved Between Sessions

This is a follow-up to my previous support requests regarding two ongoing problems that significantly impact daily usability.

Column Settings I manage multiple accounts, and my preferred column layout is: Starred, Read Status, Attachment, Subject, From, and Date/Time. I do not use Threads, Correspondents, or Spam Status columns. Despite setting these preferences repeatedly, Thunderbird fails to retain them. Every day I must spend time reconfiguring columns across some or all of my accounts — the state varies unpredictably from one session to the next. This is a persistent, daily frustration that costs meaningful time. Most other major email clients save and reliably maintain column preferences. I'd expect Thunderbird to do the same.

Folder Panel Layout Two problems occur regularly when Thunderbird loads:

Folder order — Standard system folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, All Mail, Trash, Spam) should appear at the top of each account. Instead, Sent, All Mail, Trash, and/or Spam are frequently scattered among custom folders, with no apparent consistency.

Folder expansion — Most or all folders load in an expanded state, exposing every nested sub-folder regardless of whether they contain unread mail. This creates unnecessary visual clutter and requires manual collapsing each session.

Again, this behavior is uncommon in other widely-used email clients. Summary These are not one-time glitches — they recur daily and represent a significant usability gap. I'd appreciate confirmation that these are known issues being tracked, or guidance on a reliable fix. Reformatting the interface every morning is not a reasonable expectation for users.
