Hello,

After force closing Firefox app when I tap on the bookmarks under settings it always defaults to "Desktop Bookmarks". Is there a way to make it go to "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder content by default?

Thanks, Dejan

I was excited to see that Firefox had support for Canadian English, however the dictionary seems to be missing numerous words and I get spelling errors for words like "lasagna."

Is this a bug or is the dictionary just barely populated with words and missing a tremendous amount?

I am trying to setup an email account through Spectrum. My user name and password are correct, so I think the problem is in the server settings. Thunderbird has the settings as "mobile.charter.net". I have checked with Spectrum and this is correct. But Thunderbird says that something is still incorrect. Any advice on what I should do?

Why do I keep getting pop-ups that 500% zoom in on the page with a message asking for me to clear cache? I have cleared my cache multiple times and restarted my computer many times as well, but it is still been a recurring problem for the past few days. It has been happening on every web page I visit, and even when there is no data to be cleared. Any information on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi, I want to know how to stop word prediction in text input boxes. I can't see the word I am typing with it in the way. I do my own spell checking and seeing the word I'm typing is required. I don't use any word prediction suggestions anyway. I am not so lazy or incompetent that I don't actually use my keyboard for typing and I absolutely have to see what I'm typing as I am doing so. I've looked all through the settings in Firefox settings and did a search to see if it was something Windows related and also did a search here which only came up with 1 result which was unrelated. Thanks for any help on this.

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?

The profile picture is a bit small. There is space around the picture in the button. It's a bit weird. How can I make it for fit?

I have read elsewhere here in the Support Forum that "browser.shopping.experience2023 prefs" in about:config allow for the disabling of Firefox Review Checker. Alas, there are quite a few of them there! What specific preferences -- and what specific values thereof -- are required to disable the Review Checker in FF 133.0?

I will add that it would be terrific if one could accomplish the same goal via FF Settings.

For the past week or so I am finding Youtube videos are unavailable because, I understand from messages that flash on my screen, its ads are being blocked. This does not occur if I use Chrome. Also, although I had chosen Duck Duck Go as my search engine, Yahoo seems to be doing the job. Can you please advise me how I can stop ad blocking for Youtube, and yahoo appearing as the search engine, when I use Firefox. Firefox was my default browser but have changed to Chrome for the present. The O/S on my PC is Windows 10.

Would be nice to have a kind of "my own default setup of columns" function. In a topfolder, say Inbox I have arranged the columns I'd like to be present all over all subfolders. But Thunderbird apparantly does not work that way. Making a new subfolder somwhere I have to copy the layout from one folder that I prefer as my own general default layout and use the right click function "Apply columns to ..." .... every time making a new folder. That's a bit tiresome. It ought to be possible to have a function "Update default column layout" to my own liking. If it's already there please advice as reading forums and searching online does not give me an answer to this. Cheers

Hello, I downloaded Thunderbird in order to clean up storage on gmail account. Mainly, I wanted to delete files but keep the messages, a feature I thought Thunderbird provides. I deleted the files but they still appear on my gmail account and space size hasn't changed. I double checked the settings on both Thunderbird and gmail, as well as read and followed posts here, but it still doesn't work. I'm wondering whether I'm missing something... Any idea?

The spam people say to "limit outbound port 25 to mail servers". I have a profile listed on the webpage called "Outgoing Server SMTP Settings" from long ago .... This is the one (I have a few profiles) that is designed (Default)

Server: shawmail.vc.shawcable.net Port: 25 (default 587) Connection security - none

All my other profiles use: Server: smtp.shaw.ca Port: 587 (default 587) Security: STARTTLS

Q: Might this be the problem? Can I simply delete this profile - even if it is the designed 'Default'.

Hi. Recently, in my Firefox browser on Windows, there is a new "News" section on the new tab page - how can I get rid of this??

I like the Pocket stories on the new tab page, precisely because they are usually *not* news - they are interesting, thought-provoking, or quirky stories that provide a break from actual news headlines. I need to escape the actual "breaking news." Please allow users to get ride of the "real" news section.
