I am currently trying out Thunderbird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) on windows 10 home version 22H2. I have been using Mailbird. I exported my address books from mailbird to .vcf format with the "settings" "Selected Groups" "Export contacts to vCard". I have viewed the .vcf files in Textpad and all seem correct. When I try to "Address Book" "Import" "vCard File" the import completes successfully. But when I look at the list of contacts only several show names. The rest are blank and when I click on the blank contacts in the list the right hand pane is also empty of values. I tried multiple times with different .vcf files with the same result. So I broke the .vcf files apart thinking that it could only handle so many at a time. Nope! some of the .vcf files import. Most import and create a blank contact. Each of the vCard files has a possibly different set of fields and I can not see a pattern in the ones that are accepted compared to the ones that are not. Help please. p.s. I have the plain vanilla Thunderbird with no extensions.

How to make links/search/suggestions opened in new tab (middle click) from the URL/Search bar to open in background and not switch immediately.

I already toggled the following settings to "true" - browser.search.context.loadInBackground - browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground - browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground - browser.tabs.loadInBackground

Background new tabs only works for links in the page & bookmark bar. I would like to know how to make it work if links are opened in new tab from the URL/search bar.

When I try to log-in on a website using google it tries to open a pop-up windows but it instantly gets closed. I have disabled all my adblockers and the pop-up blocking in the settings. When i try to do it the console says "Failed to open popup window on url: (the url) Maybe blocked by the browser?"

I have a closed Ubuntu installation I use to clone and quickly setup a VM. The closed system uses a proxy with restricted access to the internet, as such I would like to give it systemwide settings that will effect new and existing users.

I have attempted to use /etc/firefox/syspref.js, and apturl.js in /etc/firefox/pref/apturl.js. I have setting in EnvVars for HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY pointing at the proxy http://proxy:8080. It seems by default firefox does not look at that.

Secondly I wanted to turn off the site warnings for intranet sites using the following options: pref("security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled,false") pref("security.certerrors.permanentOverride,false") pref("network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist,false") pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled,true")

Seeing as nothing I try seems to be working, and the potentials solutions were for older versions, is there a way I can do this?

Thanks JJ

In thunderbird/calendar, when I select import, and get the import tool and select a file to upload, I get a list of candidate events, all are initially selected.

There's a search field and two buttons on that row, select all, deselect all.

Depressing "deselect all" deselects only the last item. Adding a search in the search field doesn't change that.

I am using MX-Linux (mx-23). When I used to click on a link in an email, I was taken to Firefox where the link was opened in a tab for viewing. Now, I have to manually switch to Firefox using CTRL-F2 (F2 is location of the workspace where I have Firefox).

Look, I love the pocket topics that show up for me to read, and I like your browser. But, for the love of all that is decent, how can I stop receiving search results and topics to read in new browser tabs that require me to spread my information to yet another database, or pay straight up to access.

Let me cut to the chase. I will not ever, ever, pay or register for any of these sites. So whatever income is generated by depending on me to do so will never, ever, come your way. How can I stop this waste of my time and productivity and further degradation of my privacy?
