There was a 1-3 second power failure today that crashed my desktop computer but the UPS maintained power to the fiber modem and mesh router, so my internet connection to the house was maintained. I restarted the desktop and launched Firefox. It proceeded to open all the tabs which had been open which is good. BUT it was very troubling that my log-in to my Investment Brokerage account was maintained and it did not request a Log-in Account Name and Password. A 2nd web account also maintained its log-in; so this is not specific to my brokerage. I have Firefox set up to NEVER save passwords; I use a separate Password Manager set up NOT to autofill account names and passwords.

Was this because the the UPS maintained the internet connection (for the 1-2 minute restart) while Firefox crashed and did not EXIT? Is there any setting I can make to prevent this from happening?

on PC A, firefox just lost all open tabs (even pinned ones), history (for this device only thank gods), open windows.

I installed a windows yesterday on a different PC (lets call it B), and logged in with the same microsoft account PC A uses. Then installed firefox and logged in to sync (on PC B).

Did that somehow overwrite the profile? Even though it was a different PC?

I have a single message filter defined as follows:

=

 Apply filter when:
     Getting New Mail: Filter after Junk Classification

 Match all of the following:
    From   |  isn't in my address book | <selected-address-book>

 Perform these actions:
    Move message to  Purgatory on <account>
    Stop Filter Execution

=

But when I move (by drag-n-drop) anything from the folder "Purgatory" to some other folder (by "other" I mean not the INBOX) the message disappears briefly from "Purgatory" and that single filter then moves the message back to Purgatory.

When I enable Message Log I can see the filter get applied to the moved messages. Does moving a message go first through the INBOX? Seems strange and, if so, how can I move messages between folders w/o this happening?

Thanks!

Beginning with a FF update about 6 months ago, I cannot print a web page to a PDF. I CAN print to PDF on other browsers (i.e., 'Chrome, MS Edge, etc.).

If a FF setting, what am I missing? I have tried "everything"!!

I am using the latest version of FF

I have started using Thunderbird Version 128.1.0esr (64-bit)on two systems and I have noticed when the program starts up it takes more than minute to "settle down" and work properly without the system ask me if I want to wait for the program to respond.

After a few minutes it is OK

Firefox Version 129.0.1 64 bit Windows 11. When I am in a New Tab, and I do a search (Google is my search engine) the results do not display. I type in search words, I hit Enter, and the screen does a very quick blip, and then nothing. This is very frustrating. I have wasted too much time trying to figure it out. It does not do it all the time, but most of the time. This started with the latest Firefox update. Is this a Settings issue?

For the last 2 weeks I started having problems with Firefox working consistently. Sometimes only tabs crash, sometimes Firefox crashes. It is not tied to any actions, a tab can crash even if you don't perform any actions in the browser. I have tried clean install on Fedora and Vanilla OS, native and Flatpak packages. The result is always the same - tabs or Firefox crashes every few minutes.
