I am experiencing an issue in Firefox with recurring entries in the bookmarks menu, such as "About Us" and "Customize Firefox." These entries:

   Reappear frequently, cluttering the bookmarks menu.
   Cannot be deleted through the bookmarks library or toolbar customization options.

I have attempted the following steps without success:

   Removing the entries using the bookmarks manager.
   Resetting Firefox, creating a new profile, and disabling extensions.
   Running Firefox in safe mode.

The issue persists even after these attempts. Is this a known problem or an intentional feature? If so, how can I disable or permanently remove these entries?

Additional Information:

   Firefox version: [Your Firefox version]
   Operating System: [Your OS, e.g., Windows 10]

Thank you for any guidance or fixes!

This is a hail Mary. Microsoft changed the behavior of Windows, supposedly for security, so that clicking the Firefox button to make it the default web browser is no longer allowed. Instead, I get taken to the default apps section of Settings, where the only choices are Edge and Internet Explorer. No Firefox. Same with images and with video. Microsoft is not helping with this and I'm damned if I'm wading through probably a hundred or so file extensions changing each one individually. Somebody else must have run across this problem and maybe solved it?

Hello, When I set the default app for my PDF files to Firefox in Windows 11 Pro, the PDF files I put on my desktop are mostly empty space except for a tiny Firefox logo. Other file icons on the desktop are full-sized and easy to see. Is there a way to make these Firefox/PDF icons full-sized, other than selecting a different default app for PDF files? Screenshot example attached. Thanks! Dave

Hi,

I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I have a Dell Inspiron 7591 2-in-1 laptop as a communication device to speak. Since my hands don't work, I have to use head switches in order to operate my device. I downloaded and installed the latest version Firefox (version 132.0.2 (64-bit)) via Microsoft Store on my laptop running Windows 10 Home. I have a Jabber/XMPP account to communicate with my family members and friends. In order to mount my laptop to my wheelchair, my laptop has to be in tent mode (upside down, but my screen automatically rotates to the proper orientation.) When I go to mov.im in the Firefox browser and video call someone, I appear upside-down on their end. I also visited https://webcamtests.com/ in Firefox and I appeared upside-down on my screen. However when I use other programs (eg: the camera app in Windows, Google Chrome, etc.), it recognizes my laptop is in tent mode so those programs automatically adjust my camera orientation. I would like my Firefox browser to recognize that my laptop is in tent mode and automatically rotate my camera to the proper orientation. Is this possible? If not, I would like to make this a feature request please?

Thank you

There is a (new) Secure SSL forward proxy in my corporate. It requires a client to perform: TCP handshake + TLS handshake + followed by http CONNECT request

Now this works fine when we simulate proxy connection using curl, for instance:

  1. curl --head -v -ik --proxy https://proxy.mydomain.com:8443 https://www.google.com/

However when setting up FF for proxy configuration, and adding proxy details under HTTPS Proxy, cant connect via that proxy. Looking at network dump we do see that FF is doing: TCP handshake + straight away sends http CONNECT request - and its missing to initiate TLS handshake....

Is there anyway at all to configure FF to connect via secure SSL proxy ?

The theme keeps resetting randomly to "dark" - although it shows that the "light" theme is enabled - it still switches to "dark", i.e. the interface is the dark mode. I then have to Disable and Enable the Light Mode for it to be Light mode again. But, then even within a few minutes, while I might be doing something else - when I go to Thunderbird, it has switched to Dark mode again .... This is FRUSTRATING.

I would like to be able to remove Firefox's default search shortcut keywords for a site while still being able to use my own shortcut for that site. For example, if I would like to set wikipedia.org to only "@wi", it will automatically be set to "@wi, @wikipedia". I can remove wikipedia as a search engine, but then I'm not able to set my own keyword. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've noticed that only a small percentage of the sites I pin to the New Page tab manage to load their favicons. Even well known sites like Google or Mozilla.org fail to load the image. So I tried to customize them with the "Custom Image URL" option, but they are not appearing either. They load at first when I hit "preview", but they fail to load once I press "save".

Here's the HTML of the element:

It seems the code is not even loading the appropriate resource, which—I think—should be placed in a 'style' attribute with a 'background-image:url()' CSS property, with the image path placed between the parentheses. I also checked the thumbnails folder (AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\nt5cyawc.default-release\thumbnails), and I found the image is properly saved there, so it's the browser who's not loading them for some reason.

Thanks in advance!

What should I do if, when sending a message to VK, when I press Enter it goes to the next line??

When I hover over the 'Send' button, the sending settings come up, but Enter is still selected - send a message, and Shift+Enter - line break. WHAT TO DO??? Previously, when I pressed Enter, everything worked, but now it jumps to a new line. I am writing to you in support because in other browsers everything works as it should.

Hello Dear Thunderbird and Lightning Community!

Microsoft is removing their local Outlook calendar from Windows OS at the end of this year, and have already started to remove the direct to accessing it through their regular updates.

As I am looking for a local, reliable Calendar that would be on top of that open source, I found out Lightning as a further add-on/extension to Thunderbird.

Given the general context I have mentioned in the beginning, this is an historical opportunity for the open source community to raise Lightning as a major alternative to Outlook Calendar (and not only Thunderbird globally).

Why not offering Ligthning also, as a pure STANDALONE, local (with online calendar for people who wish it), but at east as a local possibility without NEEDING to instal Thunderbird as a whole?

That would make a lot of sense.

Thank you very much and great Kudos for all your great work!!!

Cheers :)
