In the year 2024, firefox still does not allow a simple way to set any URL you would like as the new tab url (without an extension).

Users were previously able to use extensions like NewTab override to have a relatively seamless experience changing their new tab page. However after certain changes, these said extensions can no longer set your new tab page to a local file, and can also no longer clear and focus the address bar.

I am simply requesting a feature within firefox to set a custom new tab page, without having to create any external configs, or without using any extensions. This basic feature has been available in chromium browsers for years, and firefox already includes a feature just like this for the "Homepage and new windows" setting, where it allows you to input a custom URL to a local file or site to put it as your homepage. However, this same setting for some odd reason does not exist for the "new tabs" option. Why is this?

As of now, I've had to use a manual override along the lines of this:

``` // shenanigans for setting a different new tab page const { classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu } = Components; const { AboutNewTab } = Cu.import("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.jsm", {}); // path to new tab can be a url or file const newTabURL = "file:///home/faaris/.local/packages/startpage/fazzi/index.html"; // set the new tab URL AboutNewTab.newTabURL = newTabURL; ```

this should not be needed. Having to modify files in system protected folders should not be needed for such a simple option.

How do I permanently change the "overflows" attribute of the new sidebar button to false so it doesn't disappear on me when I resize the window and I still need my tabs?

When multitasking I would like to decrease the horizontal window size to any size I want. Right now with vertical tabs enabled it is locked to more than half my screen width for some reason.

Is there anything I can do to unlock this window size limit? It makes vertical tabs just a worse option even though it's great otherwise.

Hello,

I have the latest thunderbird (128.5.1esr (64-bit)), running on Windows 11 and connected to a mailcow server.

I am having problems with creating calendar events - they are created 1 hour in the future. They show up fine in thunderbird, but Mailcow/SOGo and mobile phones, etc all show the incorrect time.

If I create an event outside thunderbird, or edit it outside thunderbird, all is ok.

I have opened the error console, and it gives me a number of warnings "Calendar: Could not find definition for W. Australia Standard Time"

I am not sure where it is looking for this - but that is the timezone my computer is set to, it exists in the registry, etc.

There is an attached screenshot with more details of the error - maybe its java library issue or something?

Regards, Mal.

I used thunderbird since 2006 till now, but the present thunderbird was wrong somethings.

I used the imap mail on Thunderbird, and I created the Folder from lists below;

When I created the 25 message filters and run from inbox it's Work.

Example : Filters 1 Marketing Managers From contains : managers@xxx.xxx To contains : managers@xxx.xxx Move message to folder Marketing Managers under My Company and Marketing and sub-folder Marketing Managers

Filters 2 Marketing Customer Company A From contains : marketing@abc.xxx To contains : marketing@abc.xxx Move message to folder Marketing under My Customer and Company C and sub-folder Marketing But when I closed thunderbird and open again.

The alert pop-up will show about the filters can't move to destination folder. Then I'll check the filters again and found the problem with Perform these actions could not find the destination folder, I selected again and try to run It's work. After then I try again on next days. The alert pop-up display again.

The default Block Audio setting will prevent autoplay for all media with sound. The Block Audio and Video setting will prevent autoplay for all media, including video, even though audio is muted. The Allow Audio and Video setting will allow all media to autoplay.

Just installed 18.5.0.0 on Windows. Cannot find a horizontal menu that I have used before. It has many items including "History " which provides a drop down menu that includes "Clear history". Where is this thing? It's hard to locate when you don't know the name of a particular element.

I just tried to import my bookmarks from an HTML file. In the Bookmarks => Manage bookmarks => Import and backup => Import Bookmarks from HTML, after selecting the HTML file and then clicking "Close", nothing happens.

If I click on Bookmarks again, and look under import bookmarks, nothing shows up.

How do I get my book,arks to import from the HTML file, then have the bookmark menu appear as a drop down menu on my Firefox tool bar?

About a month ago I found that, when I clicked on Firefox browser, instead of the usual page with the default search engine duckduckgo coming up, a very plain page which just said "Search" appeared on screen with an address in the search bar which said something like "hp-search xxxxxxx". And when I entered the address I required it was clear that Yahoo was doing the search. I tried deleteing Mozilla from the Windows 10 control panel and then reinstalling it but each time I did this Firefox seemed to have been replaced by hp-searchxxxx and Yahoo. Eventually, after using an alternative uninstaller (Revo), I was able to remove and replace Mozilla with the genuine browser and search engine. I have a feeling it was when I added "Privacy Badger" or some other extension to Mozilla that the trouble occurred. Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, could they please tell me what I error I made?
