I just updated to V128 (from 78) and I had a bunch of custom named in added to mu dictionary.

I still have the old version on mu computer, how can I either export from the old version and import to the new version, or, can I simply copy over my custom dictionary to my new profile somehow?

Thanks, Mark.

I can't seem to update my Thunderbird mailing lists. I know how to do it, and I go through all the steps to add an address, click "OK" but the mailing list remains unchanged. And when I try to create a whole new mailing list, it lets me do it--that is, create the mailing list--but there are no addresses in it. I attach a couple of screen shots:

First, before I hit OK. Second, after I hit OK.

This has been going on for at least a few months. I thought an update would help but it didn't. Please advise how to fix this problem.

Thank you.

I have a pretty extensive set of email filters to put incoming email into folders based on incoming email address. Have just noticed it applying a filter to an email that does not have a matching address in the filter. Turning off that filter is not an acceptable solution. The filter log shows it matching a filter that does not have that address in it. How to fix? its not happening with all messages. but looking thru log or all email to find important emails is not practical.

filter log excerpt:

i'm tired of overriding firefox settings so that i can access my servers and lab equipment, or run scenarios to point out why security is in place. some of the about:config overrides work sometimes, others they don't. then firefox updates and I hve to reset them or go through the whole proccess every time i spin up a new environment.

please tell me someone knows of an easily solution for this? is it a dev release of firefox? a different browser?

i tried installing old versions of firefox but they don't support modern stuff. how difficult is it to be able to, in the same way i can allocate permissions per website for things like location or camera access, for insecure tls or invalid certificates?

i know it's invalid and can't be verified. that's the point.

I have to sign-in to my computer this morning, which normally indicates a Microsoft update ran the previous night.

DuckDuckGo, Chrome, and Edge all seem to be able to pull up website; not so for Firefox.

I redownloaded Firefox - no change. I deleted Firefox, ran CCleaner, and downloaded the software again - no luck.

I cleaned my registry of its orphan files - no luck.

I turned off my VPN - no luck.

So I am forced to use another browser until I can get this fixed.

Suggestions?

Hi, I want to disable the "Thought-provoking stories" shortcuts from the home / new tab page on Android.

Following the other forum posts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hide-pocket-recommendations-firefox there should be a switch for "Thought-provoking stories" under Settings - Homepage - Shortcuts, but I don't see it. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

I upgraded to Windows 11 on a new machine a few days ago. Had to re-install all my software from scratch.

I just discovered I can’t create subfolders. Not sure long the problem has existed (I don’t create subfolders very often).

I tried creating a subfolder on several different top level folders, on multiple accounts (Hotmail & Gmail). The "name new folder" dialog never appeared. No error message appeared, either.

Windows Task Manager shows 2% CPU usage, and 21% memory in use.

Firefox

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i am struggling to import all my data into thunderbird before the 16th september 24 deadline for outlook 2007 to stop working. It looks like it has put the emails across but under a folder called "outlook import" which is not all that helpful, i will have to move everything to be under the "local folders". I have a lot of accounts as i have several of my own domains but i can't find where they have imported them, if at all. I started adding them manually but there doesn't seem to be a button to test the connection and it will take me a long time to do. I also don't seem to have all my contacts (14670 at last count) so all in all the import button seems to not do everything it should. It was suggested i come to thunderbird by someone on the MS forums so i really would like this to work. Once i have it working at home i will have to do the same at work and they have even more contacts and accounts so any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

    I have always used my Firefox browser to access my bank accounts, one being my private account and the other for my company account.  I noticed however last week that I could not log in to my company account but I had no problem logging in to my private account.  I contacted the bank ( Handelsbank in Sweden) who were surprised but said that this problem may occasionally arise with the Firefox browser.  (However it has never happened before to me over the last 10 years!)  Is this a temporary gliche or do I have to switch to another browser ? !    
  The Bank start page is ;   https://www.handelsbanken.se/sv/hitta-bankkontor/uppsala-city
from which I go to the company account log-in page at  ; https://secure.handelsbanken.se/logon/se/corp/sv/
 On that page there are 4 log-in choices to click on .  None of these however work - i.e. I cannot access the next step !  ( I have no problem accessing my private account however by clicking on the Private log-in page at 
 ; https://secure.handelsbanken.se/logon/se/priv/sv/mbidqr/ ) 
     Grateful for any support - I don´t want to switch browser from Firefox (to Microsoft Edge which seems to work for both private & company log-in.)      1000 thanks in advance,  Peter Buckley, Uppsala, Sweden

When I'm using Firefox Multi-Account Containers with the option "Limit to designated sites" enabled, I encounter an annoying issue when navigating between different subdomains of the same website.

For example, if you navigate from "https://www.google.com" to "https://accounts.google.com," you will exit the "Google" container until that subdomain is manually added to the container.

I thought it would be nice if I could somehow create a container for "https://*.google.com/" (where * acts as a wildcard, as explained in the note below).

  • Is it possible to do this? If so, how, and what is the safest way? (See note below)
  • If not, is there any viable solution to this problem?

Note: The RegEx (or wildcard) * should only allow alphanumeric variations to prevent security vulnerabilities. For instance, "https://www.PhishingSite.com/WeStealYourAccount.google.com" could bypass the container if * is not restricted properly. In this case, * could mistakenly refer to "www.PhishingSite.com/WeStealYourAccount"

Thank you for your help
