I want links that I open (in Firefox, from Firefox, like opening any normal link) to open in the same tab (unless otherwise specific, like a normal browser should work), and all links from other applications to open in a new tab.

Whenever I click a link, it overrides my current tab, even if I'm working on something important. Apps do not always make it obvious what might be a URL. Windows for instance LOVES to open up "support" links in your browser. Firefox also does this itself with its update function, it opens up its update notification by overwriting your previous tab.

This is a really, really basic feature that should really be a default setting, but it doesn't seem to exist in settings at all.

Hi there, I login to outlook and gmail every time I open firefox. I have chosen outlook as the default for clicking a link that opens email. And in my gmail tab it keeps asking me if I want to open it instead. Well no I don't but all I can click is "not now" and then it keeps pestering me every time I open firefox. Is there an option like "not ever, please go away"? How can I stop the question. Thanks for you time on this one.

OS: Windows 11 PRO and Windows 11 Home (both 64-bit) Firefox Version: 135.0

Recently set up a computer to use latest version of Firefox. Thought I could just copy and paste the files in the profile folder to the new computer. Found out that didn't work so deleted all the files in the profile folder on the new computer. Copied to a USB stick the Profiles folder on the old computer (according to instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles). Pasted the folder to the Profiles folder on the new computer.

Attempted to start the Profile Manage without starting Firefox on the new computer in order to create a new profile and point it to the files just copied. This is where the problem occurs!

Regardless of what I type in the "Run" dialog box, Profile Manager will NOT open! After hitting Enter, it opens Firefox! I've tried typing all of the following in the "Run" space:

firefox.exe -P
firefox.exe -p
firefox.exe -ProfileManager

What am I doing wrong? Any help would certainly be appreciated1

Thanks.

New to TB...

I know this setting pertains to auto-deleting messages, but is there a similar setting for manual deletions?

Let's say I highlight all old messages dated in 2023--450 messages for example--then I press the Delete key....if there are any starred messages in that group I'd like for them to either not be deleted or to get an additional warning like "Messages for deletion includes starred messages...delete anyway? Yes/No"

I'm guessing there's no such warning, but thought I'd ask....thanks.

Oi!

At work (I can't update) I use Thunderbird Desktop Version 102.5.0 (64-bit). I have a large monitor, so the system's 'Scale and layout' is set to 150%, which suits me.

When I create a new message in Thunderbird: • The text size in the message is fine, • The text size in the menus and buttons is fine, • But I don't like that the inline image is also upscaled.

The image should still be at 100%, just like it appears in Photoshop, which also has appropriately upscaled menus. Please see attached image.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who is willing to help me with this issue. P.S.: Maybe if I could set the image size in the default message template (perhaps using CSS)?

Over the last week, I've noticed that my Bookmarks in Firefox keep disappearing, it's happened before but they've always come back when I've closed my browser and restarted. Today I went to the Bookmarks and they've gone, I tried closing the browser and restarting my desktop computer too. I've look at every help I can but I can't get the Bookmarks back. I've got (I had) a lot of Bookmarks and preferred to go through the Bookmarks to get to the sites I want. I like Firefox but I really do need the Bookmarks to show. Also, when I tried to import my backup(s) it wouldn't do it either.

I've run Norton full scan but it found no threats.

I'm on W10 Home, 64 bit - Microsoft hasn't update in the last week so I've ruled them out too.

Would some kind person please help, I'd be most grateful as I've run out of things to try - by the way I'm not a techie.

Many thanks Christa

Using latest version of Firefox for PC (Version 135.0 (64-bit)). As of a few months ago, I can no longer delete suggested webpages from the address bar drop down. Per the instructions, I should be able to right click on an item and select: "Remove From Toolbar" but that option is greyed out. I have looked through the Address Bar settings and can't find a setting that affects it. Am I doing anything wrong? This problem is exactly the same on both my Windows 10 PC and my Windows 11 laptop. Both started with this issue 2 or 3 months ago.

The Context: I'm setting up a new Linux PC (Mint OS). I logged into Yahoo Mail using Firefox and clicked on the browser notification in the corner that said something like "Make Yahoo the default for mail links".

The Problem: When I click Mailto links in Firefox it takes me to a broken Yahoo Mail page. The page says "Your mail is temporarily unavailable" when that is not the case - Yahoo Mail works when I manually browse it.

Further details: I confirm that the "Applications" section of Firefox settings shows Yahoo mail as the default for mailto links. And specifically, the application details specify that the url used is: https://mail.yahoo.com/mrd/mail/any/compose?src=mailto&url=%s
