Instructions for adding lines to the bookmarks toolbar are too complex. We need to be able to grab the bottom of the toolbar and drag it down to add lines. How about it, Mozilla?

Suddenly my Firefox has started coming up in Portuguese. I have reset the default language to English several times with no results. It has to be associated with the recent upgrade. How do I get the default language back to English?

Attempts at configuring Outlook account via Thunderbird for Android always result in an "Authentication Error" when setting up the outgoing server.

Using default settings:

Server: smtp.office365.com Security: StartTLS Port: 587 Authentication: OAuth 2.0 Username: xxxx@outlook.com Client Cert: None

Detailed message says authentication unsuccessful, but I don't get any errors when I login for the Incoming/IMAP server connection.

Rather than have dedicated computers for Work and Personal use I have dedicated accounts on multiple computers. Up until now I have been using Chrome for Work and Safari for Personal. I have been having more and more issues with Chrome, so I am moving my Work configuration to Firefox. Unfortunately, I have found a MAJOR difference in behavior. In Chrome I have 9 tabs setup to open when I start Chrome (my Home Page), these are the tools I use in my job; Jira, M365, Zabbix, GitLab, Digital Ocean, and a bunch of in-house tools. I set these up in Firefox, so far, so good. Unfortunately when I open a New Window, as I often do when working a specific problem, I get all of my Home tabs and I need to go through and close them all.

So my question is WHY there is not a setting to enable Home Page separate from New Window? I did find this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281079 but it does not really answer the question as to why we cannot have the same behavior as Chrome. I understand that the current design just calls the same New Window code whether it is the first Window or the 100th Window, but setting a flag in memory once the first Window has been opened and checking that flag to determine if the New Window needs to open all the Tabs should not be that large a code change. Note I said a flag in memory and not on disk, as that would be a performance hit.

My second question is whether the powers that control Firefox would be open to such a code change if submitted? I understand how Open Source works and features that the volunteers working on code want to see are the ones that get developed.

Thank you.

Hello. I have looked in as many places as I can and am unable to find any setting the both allows me to sort bookmarks by name, date, etc.

Am I missing something simple or otherwise? I appreciate any reply.

Note also that I have (last time I checked) the same problem with my MacBook pro.

How do I get edvi-89 to work as the Thunderbird start page? It is the startup I have been looking for. I just can't get it to work. Is there a similar one available that works? I suggest Edvin-89 be made an add-on.

When I download an attachment, my version wants to print it every time. I suspect it's set to default as a hangover from my previous email program. This means if the phone can't find a printer, it won't download, not much use if it's a pdf ticket. How do I change the settings please?

I just installed the Android mobile version of Thunderbird. I was wondering if it supports any form/method of SPAM filtering? If so, how do I access/use it?

TIA!

Hello,

In summary, I am a total beginner and just need help making the right-click menu appear properly on sites and such like it used to before I screwed up some random setting.

If that's not doable, then could I get some help to try and see if I can restore a backup of older FireFox settings that predate my messing up the settings or something?

Basically, I was exploring various settings in-browser in FireFox and at some point somehow changed something that suddenly prevented the right-click menu from appearing when I right-click on anything.

I also was changing things in the settings of an extension called "Sideberry" that I use to organize tabs, so whatever I changed that is stopping me from right-clicking properly might be in that extension's settings rather than in the normal browser settings; I am not sure.

I tried changing "Use native context menu" (in Sideberry settings) from off to on and vice-versa, but turning it to be on just prevents me from seeing the extension-specific right-click menu when I right-click in Sideberry. It doesn't make the normal browser right-click menu that you get when right-clicking websites themselves come back.

Thank you very very much in advance! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hello

I have a small niche non critical issue with setting my own search engine in the FF mobile app. Looks like it's doing a test to see if the URL is reachable, but gets rejected because of authentication.

It did not prompt for credentials, just immediately fails which prevented me from setting it.. Now I am self hosting a SearXNG search engine behind a reverse proxy (Nginx) with basic HTTP authentication, so I do have the power to disable it for a minute just to set the engine correctly and re-enabling it again.. After that, when trying to search for something after a session ends, it did prompt me for credentials and worked pretty well after that!

So see, this is very niche, but do prevented me from setting my own engine. It will be a show stopper for those who want to use such engine (with any authentication) but do not self host it...

Thanks a bunch Roy

I'm setting up a cloud-init to make it easier to deploy Linux workstations. I want to display the various links to my sites on my Firefox browser. Bookmark my services. Do you think this is possible? I've already applied a rule to retrieve certificates, but it seems complicated for bookmarks.

Here's an extract  :

{

 "policies": {
   "Bookmarks": [
     {
       "Title": "Main",
       "URL": "https://service.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 1",
       "URL": "https://service1.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 2",
       "URL": "https://service2.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Documentation",
       "URL": "https://docs.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     }
   ]
 }

}

When you look at the notification page pull down in android

Expand to see each email Click on one you have the option to delete it This then requests a confirmation

Can this confirmation be disabled?

It looks like the other methods do not require confirmation

Hi, I'm using macOS 15.0.1 and Thunderbird 128.4.2esr (64-bit). I want to export my settings to the mobile version of Thunderbird using the QR code. However, when I select "Export for Mobile," I don't see any accounts available for export, and both buttons are grayed out. I have five IMAP accounts set up.

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I’m experiencing an unusual issue with mouse sensitivity in Firefox. When I open Firefox, my mouse sensitivity or DPI seems to drop significantly, making it difficult to navigate. However, when I close Firefox, my mouse sensitivity returns to its normal level. This issue does not occur in other browsers like Microsoft Edge or Opera, where the DPI remains stable, suggesting the problem is specific to Firefox and not related to my laptop or system settings.

I’ve tried troubleshooting on my end, but the issue persists. Could you please advise on any specific settings or configurations in Firefox that could be causing this DPI sensitivity drop? If this can’t be resolved, I may need to consider uninstalling Firefox and switching to a different browser for a smoother experience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
