Good morning and/or evening!

Within the last year, I upgraded my phone from iOS to Android, and decided to switch browsers from Safari to FireFox while I was at it. The mobile version of FireFox has served me very well so far, especially the collections feature!

I also like to use private tabs to save content I may not want to view until later. Unfortunately, due to FireFox automatically closing private tabs, I often lose my place and reading lists.

The option to Keep Private Tabs is available on the iOS version of Firefox, as shown on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatically-close-private-tabs-when-leaving-priv. Would it be possible to make this an option for Android users as well?

Thank you for your time and help!

For years I used Thunderbird to process my Earthlink emails. Thunderbird suddenly stopped accepting my Earthlink password, which I repeatedly tried and reset. Is something wrong with my Thunderbird settings? Mac IOS 13.7.1

Bonjour, mon problème est que depuis un certain temps,je ne peux plus insérer de nouvelles adresses de courriels sur Thunderbird. Mention (écrit en jaune)impossible de se connecter au serveur.Merci de me répondre. Gérard Voici l`adresse courriel ou vous pourrez me rejoindre :Gerard3830@gmail.com.

I followed Mozilla's official instructions for transferring and Thunderbird profile to a new device (running Fedora 40 and Thunderbird version 115). Thunderbird seemed to read my profiles folder correctly, as all my accounts and RSS feeds were present after I copied the old profile to folder to my new .thunderbird directory. However, after downloading the header files for the emails I have received since switching computers, it then tries to download all 60,000 emails or so on my gmail account even though most of these emails should be included in the profile folder already - it looks like have 6 GB INBOX file within this profile.

Is there a way to get thunderbird to read the profile without redownloading all the messages from my accounts? I unfortunately no longer have access to my old windows machine that this profile is from, just the profile folder itself. Let me know if there is anything I can do!

Hello,

I have Firefox browser and ATT internet and email. I was unable to load email today until I spoke with live ATT tech support. He instructed me in clearing cache and cookies, had me open a private window, then asked me to open another window. He did get my ATT email restored, but when I had 2 windows open I accidentally closed my main window which had many pinned tabs and other tabs I wished to get to. Yes, too many tabs! So I have a new browser which does not have the configuration I want which is the one I had when I first called ATT. So I made a mistake and closed the wrong browser, I knew it as it happened but it was too late, I guess speaking with and listening to the tech messed up my concentration. I have made this mistake before and closed the wrong browser but fumbling around somehow I managed to recover the browser I wanted, I don't remember how exactly. I think it has been a couple of years since I screwed up this way. The History section of my Firefox menu does not offer a selection called 'restore previous session' that the instruction page shows, the only options at the top are Recently closed tabs, Recently closed windows, Search history. Then a bar followed by Clear Recent history, then today's history in the new browser. So I only get history from today's new browser. I am old and not tech savvy there is a lot of terminology I do not understand, I need a kindergartner's step by step instruction on this I am afraid, in clear English. I am afraid to do things like refresh or reinstall without knowing what I am doing. I appreciate your help. I use desktop Firefox for email, reading items of interest, social media, ordering merch. I do not do gaming, I have no website. It is late and I am going to bed soon. You can email me at jaelizlang@att.net. Thanks so much, Jane Langston, Clarkston GA

Same as previous users over the last 6-12months. I've tried just about everything.

Intermittent no sound on streams unless you refresh or change stream resolution (which i imagine refreshes the stream).

This only occurs on Twitch using FF, other browsers work fine.

Help!! Thanks.

I am unable to send emails from my Optusnet email account through Thunderbird. This also happened a couple of weeks ago, and was resolved with Optus Tech support by updating the SMTP settings, but they don't seem to be able to help this time. What settings do you recommend? Or other solution?

The icons in the bookmarks toolbar are desatured compared to the icons shown in tab bar (e.g. WhatsApp). The problem only occurs on Windows. Is there any way to fix this?

My email messaging seems to be set at a defined format with double spacing. I prefer to use single spacing but in order to do this I have to type all the way to the end of the page and then it will automatically go to the next paragraph and will then use single spacing. I would really like to be able to format my emails with single spacing and different margins other than what I have to use now (i.e.using the entire width of the message). I cannot find any way to change this automatic double spacing and change the width of the paragraph at the same time. From the drop down list directly above the body of the message, I have tried changing from Body Text to Paragraph and back again, but nothing works. Thanks very much for your help.

P. S. I am using Windows 10 with Thunderbird version 128.4.2 esr. I had the same problem in more recent versions but not in older versions.

So, in MS Edge key strokes Ctrl + Tab move through all open tabs in that browser! Firefox has a mouse wheel up/down, but that fails to "REFRESH" tabs! So, how do I "Peruse through tabs with key strokes"?

Recently Firefox has been randomly crashing the past 3 weeks multiple times, Is anyone else having this odd issue ? I'll be watching a stream or youtube video and bam out of no where the Browser goes black for like 20 or 30 seconds then crashes. I sent in about 3 crash reports and wondering if the Firefox team is aware of this issue.

In late September, IONOS canceled me--they blamed their new algorithm. They also deleted or uninstalled my Thunderbird at the same time--they deny doing it. I reinstalled T-bird and downloaded my current inbox from webmail, but 25+ years of work and personal email files saved in Local Folders were missing, along with my address book. Carbonite recovered >130GB of T-bird files that I think and hope are my saved files and put them in one big folder on my desk top--hours later, Hurricane Helene hit. I have my replacement computer now and a recovery drive from Carbonite with>450G of my data on it, including my earlier recovered Thunderbird files.

Question: how do I get those files and address book back into my Thunderbird? This is critical for me. I'm a writer, and all my professional communications are in them, along with all my volunteer work and personal messages--more than 25 years' worth! Between the hurricane and this, I've lost more than a month of work already as well as contacts, medical records, etc..

I pressed download but I don't know what to do next. I signed up for the newsletter and gave a donation. I don't know where to find the app or how to complete the installation. Thank you.

Firefox advised of an update yesterday 10 November which was undertaken.

Now cannot access firefox and get advised entry point not fouind and second window advises "couldn't load XPCOM.

Have tried full reset etc but to no avail.
