Hello,

I checked the troubleshoot and gave all the necesarry permissions on my Mac for Google Meet to use my screen (allowed audio, video and screen recording). Nevertheless, I cannot manage to share my screen on Google Meet. As shown in the screenshot, it offers the option to share my whole screen (I cannot select a window or a tab...) but for my audience neither this is working.

Could you please help me fix this?

Many thanks in advance!

Today as usual went to open Firefox but made the wrong choice instead of choosing do you want to allow fire fox to be your browser I chose the wrong button result message came up cannot open I think it was something like can not use I think it was like lcd.If that makes sense please help

I am using Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon and got a notice that I need to update the originally installed Firefox browser before March 14. When trying to do that the options are 32 or 64 bit. Which one should I have?

https://read.amazon.com/kindle-library is now not allowing me to go onto the website. I've tried talking to Amazon customer support but they can't find a problem on their end. It says:

The connection has timed out

The server at read.amazon.com is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

I haven't had a problem with the website before and every other website I have tried works fine. It's just that one. I have added it to my exceptions list for add ons but it didn't fix it.

I am no tech genius and am struggling....

I have an old laptop (L1) and now have a new laptop (L2) - wanted to make my Thunderbird messages (POP account) accessible on both so installed Thunderbird on L2. The problem I then had was that if messages went to L1 or my phone they didn't come through to L2. So I went into my gmail through google on L1 and changed my POP settings, not really knowing what I was doing. I changed it to 'Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)' and 'Keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox'.

This resulted in every email I'd ever had since setting up my Gmail reloading into my inbox (20K messages!) on L1. I now get new messages on both laptops however nothing is showing in any of my L1 Inbox subfolders (I had everything nicely filed...), and on top of this if I make a new subfolder the folder appears but if I moves a message from inbox to that folder the message disappears i.e., it's not visible....

I restarted Thunderbird after this and got an error message 'Couldn't load XPCOM' but I can still see all my inbox messages so seems to be starting up OK but the folder problem persists. It's maddening as I can't sort out my 20K messages into manageable folders....

I'd really like to understand - in an explanation fit for a tech dunderhead - what's going on. Both to fix it, and to stop the same thing ever happening in my Thunderbird on L2....

It'd be much appreciated if someone could help me unravel :)

Hello, I just tried to import bookmarks to Firefox, however they're not appearing on the title bar?

I imported bookmarks to desktop Firefox 134.0.1 (aarch64) on raspberrypios - 1.0, but the title bar only shows Import Bookmarks... and the imported bookmarks are located in Library -> All Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Toolbar/Bookmarks Menu -> Mozilla Firefox -> Imported Bookmark.

I've imported bookmarks to Firefox, however the Bookmarks bar doesn't show on a blank tab (I'll raise another forum post about this). If I manually add the Bookmarks toolbar, it permanently shows only a few Bookmarks, not the original Bookmarks that have been imported?

I imported the Bookmarks 3 times as shown on the attached screenshot, but somehow they have been stored by default, in the wrong location. The correct location would be so the Bookmarks appear in the Bookmarks toolbar.

Hello, does Firefox has a function where the bookmarks only show in a Bookmarks toolbar when a blank tab is open please? Once a bookmark is selected from the Bookmarks Toolbar, then the Bookmarks Toolbar is no longer needed and should disappear to maximise webpage space.

Hi all, trying to configure autoupdate settings for my org, as we're discovering several out of date installations.

One sticking point I'm seeing is that I see conflicting documentation on the required proxy setting for background updates to work.

This page states that the correct proxy setting is to use system settings https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-background-updates-firefox-windows

Meanwhile, this page states that proxy settings must not be configured. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/mozapps/update/docs/BackgroundUpdates.html

Which one is authoritative?

as an aside, some of the required prefs cited in the second document don't appear in about:config on the current version. I do see app.update.background.allowUpdatesForUnelevatedInstallations and app.update.auto.migrated which I'm assuming for the moment are the correct prefs, but can that be confirmed?

Hello,

I can open up my posteo.de account, and I can see all of my emails. However it is not possible to open up and view an Email, a double click has no longer any effect. I re-installed firefox, this had no effect on my problem. I then completley deinstalled my MX Linux and installed KDE neon. A new firefox installation didn't solve the problem. Just to check, I installed Brave and I can open my Emails without any proble,- I would be greatful for any help!

I am an office worker. I close all applications every day before I leave for home. If I forget or miss and leave Thunderbird open overnight, I do not have an internet connection the next morning and I have to reboot my machine. Any ideas as to why that might be?

About 2-3 weeks ago, I could click on the Comments box for the article that accompanied a news story. No issues at that time. Now I get the Comments box, click on it, but the box to type in your comments never loads.
