CONTEXT Many societies, including most of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking world (~730 million people), use two part surnames so the full name in most official documents, including passports, take the format:

Name: <name> Surname: <first surname from father> <first surname from mother>

Here is an example of the famous (deceased) Spanish poet:

Name: Federico Surname: García Lorca

Note there is no hyphen nor should there be one. He has TWO surnames.

PROBLEM

A recent update in Firefox introduced a single field for name under Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Addresses which is used by Autofill to fill forms.

Our poet would enter "Federico García Lorca" under name. If he were then to purchase a plane ticket and rely on Firefox Autofill to fill in the details, Autofill -- in a very narrow anglophone view -- will interpret "García" as a middle name and suppress it.

As a result, the plane ticket will be issued to "Federico Lorca" who is not even the same person, and who may not even exist. Moreover, he may be denied boarding the plane or refused entry into the USA because the name on the ticket does not match any of his official documentation.

I have had to disable Autofill for this reason.

SOLUTION

A proposed solution is to do like Edge does: Have separate Name and Surname fields the user can specify.

Thank you.

Get Messages doesn't work anymore. I created another profile with the same email address and it works fine. The issue is that I lost all my info, addresses, and most importantly the Calendar. I've been messing around with this all in trying to import that info into the new profile, but failing. I copied calendar-data to the new profile, but it doesn't show up. Can someone please help! Thanks, Paul

Sorry, not finding anything about this issue, and I honestly don't know if the issue is Settings, or Upgrade &c. Here's the thing:

Recent upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04. Snap version of Thunderbird (very problematic migration). It's working now, but because data was lost, and settings all re-set to zero with the Snap edition, there's been quite a bit of re-customizing &c. Here's the latest:

Someone sends me an e-mail with a .docx attachment, a daily occurence. Try to open it with Libre Office, as I have been doing for twenty years, including Open Office. But Libre Office does not show up as a helper app. Can't be selected from the right click menu. Or .. . ? Maybe I'm missing something, some new way of doing the same old thing.

When I go into settings and navigate down to Files and Attachments, I'm expecting a list of applications, and attendant actions. However, there's only a single line, for .pdf attachments. I don't see any button or facility enabling the user to add an application, and specify what happen when, for instance, you click on a .docx attachment.

And yes, Libre Office *is* installed, I've been using it regularly.

Hi, We are using Horizon VDI terminal server. Firefox is installed on these servers. Some users get Firefox is already running but is not responding error. Ending Firefox via task manager does not work. I log off the user and have them log in again, but it does not work.

When I check, I see that the user's profile file cannot be created on any terminal server.

Is there a solution to this problem?

I did not enable this setting and it has to be disabled. I t seems one of your updates enabled it. Tell me how to disable it please!

I normally use Firefox Developer Edition, version 127 because any later version always freezes my whole computer (probably because I'm using a 15-year old PC). Recently all my extensions became disabled. I'm now also unable to install any extension because it says "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt". I found some instructions on Mozilla website about deleting compatibility.ini and extensions folder, but it didn't solve the issue. Now I'm stuck and confused as I suspect some of the extension files that should be in my Profile folder may not be there.

The simplest solution in this case would be to use the "Refresh Firefox" option which resets everything to default settings, but every time I do it my computer freezes until rebooted. Uninstalling and reinstalling manually is also not the way to go, because it retains all the settings.

I've tried installing the standard Firefox browser (v. 119) alongside the Developer Edition but the same issue is there as well.

I'm looking for an alternative way to get a clean Firefox install, so I can fix my extensions.

Additional info: - Your system specs? Windows 10 64-bit, 4 GB RAM, Pentium Dual-core, no GPU - Hardware acceleration? Disabled. - Using any mods? Yes, two. Geckium for Firefox, which always works fine. The recent issue started when I played around with Revert8Plus, but it initially worked without issues.

Firefox recently added a feature that requires me to open a new private window to access Revenue Canada. I use Intuit Turbo Tax to file my Income Tax. The Intuit software allows you to download your rax records from CRA and insert the information in your T1 Return. With the latest change to Firefox this option is not available any longer because the default for the CRA account is not to a private window. How do I get around this problem????

Bonjour Suite à l'installation de la dernière mise à jour j’ai perdu mon organisation et des favoris de Mozilla. J'ai arrêté mon pc dimanche dernier dernier et quand je l'ai rallumé vendredi et lancé Mozilla j'avais tout perdu. Comment récupérer mes données tout en sachant que je n'ai pas de sauvegarde. Espère que je vais pouvoir récupérer les infos car à priori les données dans le navigateur datent de plus d'un an Merci bien de votre aide

I recently moved my TB to a new PC desktop, and TB is working fine. But I see that my local archive folder is gone from both the new and the old PC, as well as my NSTMP folder. Could someone help me locate them?

thanks

My e-mail will not load sub links. It pops up a list of links not related to the e-mail. Stated when I installed avast. Took avast off. DID NOT fix problem. What now???

Since the new "feature" profiles came out, I now always have this "originalprofile" in the browser (in the title bar) and in the Windows taskbar... It's really annoying.... Now my question is, how do I get rid of it again... on 3 more pictures, Firefox language is German...
