I view movies and tv series on Amazon Prime and others every night . Suddenly I no longer can. On Prime I get a msg. saying I must update ff. It tells me the process and I have done it at least 6 times. When I go to 'about Firefox it tells me that I am already up to date, have version 115.18 esr. I am on a Dell Business computer, Vostro 470. Windows 7, service pak 1. Processor is i5-3450CPU @3.10GHz. RAM 400 GB , 4 processor cores. 64 bit. Prime disk466 GB 395 GB free. I'm a senior lady, not very computer literate. I have a ton of duplicate files but don't know which to remove. If I got help I could free up a lot more space. I watch everything on my computer monitor. I don't understand as the esr was supposed to allow us to continue. Please help as I am pretty homebound and this is about my only entertainment.

Hi, there are bugs with text selection when using touch. The video below explains. But simply selecting text is really buggy and the bugs happen randomly, long pressing on text sometimes selects text sometimes not, sometimes opens context menus sometimes not. The preferred behavior is to select text and open the context menu at the same time.

Debian 12, Wayland, Firefox 133, Thinkpad yoga

I am with Activ8me, that is my internet provider, since your program update my email no longer opens and I cannot send emails, i have been on the phone for an hour with my provider and they have tried many things, nothing ever changed or worked, when I try to open Thunderbird it tells me the server may have gone down or there may be a network problem, if i try to send an email it tells me, peer reports incompatible or unsupported protocol versions and the configuration needs to be corrected, The Techs at Activ8me could not get it to work, they think there must be an issue with Thunderbirds new program, can you look into this please and see why activ8 emails do not work on here any more, hopefully someone can provide for me a complete and easy to follow guide that will fix this issue, Thanks, Ray

For any page I've tried under nationalrail.co.uk, Add to Home screen no longer offers a way to change the name of the icon so every one is National Rail (see screenshot). It used to work as expected, an icon with a default name which can be changed but now it has the instruction Touch and hold an icon or tap Add to add it to the Home screen with the site's icon and no edit field.

bbc.co.uk is similar but cnn.com is fine.

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.

I recently got norice that Firefox needed updating so I clicked on ok. When it got done updating, Firefox opened with my tabs but the tab spacing was gone as as well as there was no color in the Title bar and menu area, which was normally light blue to match Windows 10 22H2 backbrond I have. I looked at enabling the legacy support in about:config but it was already enabled. I use a Chrome UserChrome.css file that allows the tabs to have just a bit of space between them and rounded edges. I have vision issues and this made it so I could see open tabs and distinguish them.

This is the userChrome.css file I used: .titlebar-color{ color: AccentColorText !important; background-color: AccentColor; }

.tab-background{ border-radius: 8px 5px !important; margin-bottom: 2px !important; margin-top: 1px !important; } /* NEWTAB button */

1. new-tab-button,
2. tabs-newtab-button {

fill: red !important;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.7) !important;

}

/* NEWTAB button - hover */

1. new-tab-button:hover,
2. tabs-newtab-button:hover {

 fill: white !important;
 background-color: rgba(255,0,0,.7) !important;

} .tabbrowser-tab:not([selected=true]):not([multiselected=true]) .tab-background{ background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentColor 25%, transparent); } menupopup > menu, menupopup > menuitem{ padding-block: 2px !important; min-height: 0px !important; }

root{

--arrowpanel-menuitem-padding: 2px !important; } I attached Firefox with white colored Title bar and Waterfox with colored title bar for example. Is there some setting in the about:config I am missing that was changed from 132 to 133 version? Thank you very much Vernon

We have had our sympatico.ca account for decades, but have recently created a gmail address as we will probably leave Bell, for a number of reasons, and I understand that we will then lose all remaining sympatico emails. We recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, but my guess is that we will no longer need Thunderbird, and gmail will be easily transportable, though it has some rather distasteful features, limited storage being one. My question is, is there a way to migrate the emails away from Bell and retain them. This doesn't seem to be a strictly Thunderbird question, though I'm sure it has arisen numerous times in the past. Thanks.

I have just logged on for the day and the Side Bar has changed. It now has an extra layer making it wider which now pushes a highly used website page off the screen which is very annoying because I don't want to reduce it's zoom any more.

I use the Side Bar to bookmark various links within this website as shortcuts to navigate it.

How do I remove this unwanted extra layer?

Please find attached a Snipping Tool file.

The unwanted extra layer is the bar down the left showing my Bookmark icon on the top and the Settings icon on the bottom neither of which I want or need and this is causing the extra width to the sidebar which is upsetting my viewing. How do I remove this new bar?

In Windows 11, the Address Book is accessed via an icon on top left of the TB main page or Alt+2. In Windows 11 is there a similar key combination to view the folders below Local Folders?

I have been using Thunderbird for ~ 5 years & had to buy a new pc. Now the updated new Thunderbird is repeatedly have issues with each email account showing the automatic Login for new mail is failing to work. The error message says 'LOGIN TO (EMAIL ADDRESS) ACCT FAILED: LOGIN TO SERVER POP.CENTURYLINK.NET WITH USERNAME (EMAILADDRESS) FAILED'.

Oddly enough sometimes this does NOT happen when I restart the program & everything seems to work fine without me changing a thing. Is this an issue occurring system wide now or am I missing something?

Hello -

When I opened T-bird today, the entire account appeared to be missing, along with all of the associated messages.

I had not used T-bird for about a week, and so it had updated automatically to v.128.5.0esr from v.128.4.3esr. I did go to the Help > TroubleshootingInformation > Mail and News Accounts, and there's nothing there. Similarly, I went to ... > Profiles > about:profiles and did not see my default profile there.

Is this a problem of the most recent update? How do I restore my previous email account and settings?

Appreciate anyone's assistance with this.

On the newest firefox update on Windows PC My PDF reading has been not displaying PDFs correctly on Firefox I tested on other PDF views and they work as normal (All images are normally white with black text PDFs) Sometimes it displays nothing at all (as seen in Image 1) Some pages will display correctly but the rest won't (as seen in Image 2) Some pages will display text but strangely (as seen in Image 3) It does flash white sometimes while scrolling but it still doesn't show text
