If i open firefox and then open a new window or tab in firefox with the same adress, it will close it down. Why would anyone want that function? The reason i open the second tab our window is because i want them open simultaneously of course. Damn that was one annoying feature, it even changes window if i have multiple tabs open and one tab i the same as in the other window, jesus.

My phone carrier alerted me that my 15gb of data had all been used up, which was surprising considering I've been mostly at home on Wi-Fi and don't ever reach my limit even when I'm traveling.

I looked at what was using the data. To my surprise, it seems like Firefox Focus had inexplicably burned through 10gb (!) of data in the background over the last day without any tabs even open.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there an explanation for what's happening?

I'm concerned about it continuing, obviously, but also concerned it might represent a security breach on my phone somehow.

In the meantime, I've disabled the Firefox Focus app's permission to run data in the background. Not sure if that will solve the issue. I also noticed that it does not seem to have been burning data on Wi-Fi.

Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry for the question, usually this is something easy to fix on a PC or phone, but I'm on my tablet (Samsung, android) and somehow none of the settings available here, offer a solution in lowering the font size on my screen. I've looked at YouTube videos, gone into reddit and even asked Google, yet all the answers are somewhat the same but cannot be found while I'm on this tablet. I need help please!!! 😫

Byter till BRAVE och då funkar det

Hello, since I installed the latest update of Firefox (133.0) two days ago I'm having trouble to load videos on some websites it's giving me a black screen when I try loading them so i'd like to know if anybody knows how I could fix this ? I tried clearing cookies, cache and resetting the browser and it still doesn't work.

I know this problem has been caused by the latest firefox update (133.0) because all my videos are loading fine on both Chrome and Explorer but i'd like to keep Firefox so if anyone has an idea how I could fix this it would be very appreciated thanks!

I cant recover my aarekahopkins@gmail.com account on my desktop my username is my email and the password is 1Tehiirere1 I seem to have recovered it on my cell phone Cheers

Currently, I am using the desktop version of Thunderbird and I have my email account configured to digitally sign my emails with an S/MIME certificate. I cannot find a way to import my certificates on the android version of Thunderbird. Is there away to setup certificates in the Android version of the app?

My page throws errors in Firefox Nightly such as

Expected color but found ‘undefined’. Error in parsing value for ‘background-color’. Declaration dropped. preview.htm:1:1

and

Expected color but found ‘undefined’. Error in parsing value for ‘color’. Declaration dropped. preview.htm:1:1

The page references ten CSS files besides having dozens of its own CSS declarations. The issue is tha the reference provided to the error (:1:1) does not indicate where I can find the error. That is, I don't know which declaration is at fault. Is there some straighforward way to find the declaration in question?

Autofill Passwords intermittent. One time I go to login on to different websites and autofill works fine the next time nothing. It also seems like every time I open Firefox I have to check the autofill. I like FireFox and I'm trying to get away from another browser that I have no issues with when it comes to autofill. All I want to do is open a website autofill my passwords.

I am struggling to connect Thunderbird to my Gmail account and get all the labels/folders consistent over all the mail clients I use. I use several mail clients and usually end up with a bunch of labels that duplicate another one, so I am trying to clean it up. I should add that what is below is my best interpretation of what is happening, but it may not be correct.

I have been following the advice here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail#w_understanding-gmail-labels-and-thunderbird-folders

and here:

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78892#zippy=%2Cthunderbird

This is Thunderbird 128.5.0esr (64-bit) on Mac Monterey.

Ok, so I have a Gmail account set up to use UK English. I get labels Spam and Bin.

(If I have a Gmail account set up to use US English, I get Junk and Trash. Got to wonder what Google was thinking in making them different! Oddly enough, US English gets Vacation Responder while UK English gets Out-of-office Autoreply.)

Thunderbird seems to sometimes want to use Junk and Trash, whether set to US English or GB English (=UK). This appears to be tied to the Junk Settings for the account in Thunderbird. If I disable adaptive junk mail controls, I get a new folder called Junk, and the Bin folder seems to be renamed to Trash. If I had not disabled it, presumably TB would have been happy to use Bin and Spam, but the link above suggests disabling it and letting Gmail handle spam. While it is good, it is nowhere near perfect. (If I then re-enable adaptive junk mail controls, nothing changes. It does not go back to what it was. I still have Spam, Trash and Junk.)

However, Gmail itself is still showing labels Spam and Bin and no Junk. In Junk Settings for the account, Destination & Retention, it is possible to tell TB where to put junk messages. In particular, I can sometimes tell it to put the messages in Spam. But not always. Sometimes Spam is not visible as an option but Junk is.

So then I go to Synchronization & Storage, the Advanced button. This shows that Spam and Trash are not checked so will not be downloaded (or uploaded). Junk, however, is checked and will be downloaded.

I think this means that any messages sent to Spam or Trash in TB will not be reflected on Gmail. I guess they will disappear from the original label on Gmail, but will not be visible on any other device accessing the Gmail account. Re-enabling adaptive junk mail controls does not change what is being synchronized.

It all seems a bit flakey. I suspect both links above need updating. In particular, the reference to [Gmail] folder seems out of date since setting up a new account has no references to a folder of that name. All the folders appear at the top level.

And there are definitely some inconsistencies in what TB does.

Hi Everyone,

ever since the latest Firefox update, the "read more" feature on LinkedIn pages (personal pages, not the feed) does not show up anymore, at least not for me - the feature allows you to expand the various subsections to read their full content.

I opened LinkedIn on Chrome and Edge to see if it is indeed a browser issue, and it's working fine over there. I also did some troubleshooting (refreshing, clearing cache), but to no avail.

Does anybody else have the same problem?

Thank you!

Hi,

Suddenly google browser went extremely zoom out, very tiny carachters. Looks like a desktop version. Can’t switch it back to how it was before. A google browser standard mobile view.

Can you help fixing it?

Thanks, Alec

Hi, I Changed IMAP to POP3, rebuilt Inbox.MSF and it worked for a few hours. Now, I cannot get control of the Thunderbird screen (it is grayed out and "the wheel is turning") I've also tried to Shift click to start Thunderbird to start in Troubleshoot mode and checked both boxes. (I get control for approximately 15 seconds). I am running Windows 11 with 128 Gb of RAM and enough disk space. What should I do now?

BTW, I am an I/T professional, so you may use jargon in your response.

Thank you in advance.

Just wondering.... If I have 2x email addresses, and forward a message from Email#1 to Email#2 (ie automatically through the settings on the email#1 account), when receiving in Thunderbird, would, or should, this info show up in the full headers of Email#2, and if so, how?

Thanks.

when I type in the address bar to go to a new page, the new page either doesn't load at all or loads briefly then goes back to the page that was previously loaded in that tab. the only way to go to a new page is to open a new tab (or close all tabs then open tab 1). is this how it's supposed to work? because this isn't how any browser has ever worked LOL. if it's not expected, how do I fix it?

apologies if already asked but I didn't see it.

I have a recurring problem with mail becoming stuck in my Outbox. The symptom is that I discover, after hours of working, sending mail, and receiving mail, that the "sent" mail is all actually stuck in Local Folders Outbox. If I click on Outbox I can see the email messages that are waiting to go out. The only way to get them to go out is to quit Thunderbird and then restart, at which point I can see them go out, one by one.

This has happened to me many, many times, but not every day - or even every week. It's hard to pin down what what is causing the problem, but I have a feeling that it is vpn related.

My normal mode of operation (on a Macbook Pro) is to switch back and forth between home and work networks (or travel networks) without logging out or quitting tasks (including Thunderbird). I don't think that's the problem. While I am working, I frequently have to switch to an internal vpn to access various things. I don't like to run video conferencing or other high bandwidth tasks through the vpn server, so I generally disconnect when I don't need it. I *think* Thunderbird is sometimes getting confused about the network - perhaps when I've started composing an email with vpn running but switching vpn off before sending. Honestly, though, I think I do that so often that this can't be the core issue. So:

Question 1: Has anyone seen this and found a solution?

I've tried just writing a cron job that watches the file "Unsent Messages" in

/Users/myname/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/[profilename]/Mail/Local Folders

I just check to see if there are messages in there, and send myself a notice. However, this doesn't work because that file doesn't actually seem to empty itself once messages go out. It doesn't save all outgoing mail, but it saves a bunch, so my trick won't work.

Question 2: Does anyone know why the Unsent Messages file doesn't clear once the messages go out?

Question 3: Is there some other indicator that I can probe to see if there is stuck outgoing mail?

Sorry for the long description. I wanted to be as complete as possible. Thanks for any help.

I allowed windows (11) to apply updates. Afterwards, my Thunderbird email cannot see the email in any folders except only unopened email in inbox. The data still seems to be in the files.

Spent 2 hours with Dell support, who were unable to resolve and they say it's due to Thunderbird, which re-installed itself (?) around the same time as the windows update.

Any help? Thanks.

'Linked In' technical support are telling me that I am unable to see certain pages on their system most likely because my Firefox Browser (which is fully up to date) is using DNS. They said to remove DNS. Is this wise advice and if so how do I do that and what difference will it make to my day to day use of firefox?
