  1. * I can't open the adressbook.
  2. * And today it even did not exist or react - when writing a mail to often used adresses did not suggest in the "adress-square".
  3. * On One.com I saved the csv-file and imported in Thunderbird. Now all adresses work. But still I cannot open adressbook manually or with Ctrl¨Shift-B.

I also miss the "new mail" menu on top but find it under "meddelelser" (messages) or use Ctr¨-N. And nowhere I can find the Calendar. Maybe I refused the installation when I 14 days ago after a toál breakdown re-installed my Windows 10.

I have tried to re-install ¨nd update Thunderbird.

Firefox 125.0 (64-bit) Linux - File download location

Hi all,

I'm using Firefox 125.0 (64-bit) on Fedora and for file downloads, I have the options "Ask whether to open or save files" and "Always ask you where to save files" enabled.

This basically works, Firefox opens a file selection dialog and I can select where I want to save my downloads - so far, so good.

The weird thing is, the default location that is shown in this dialog seems to change every time I download a file. I would expect to see the last download location as the default option, but that is not what happens.

When I check about:config, I can see the last used download path is saved as browser.download.lastDir perfectly fine, but it is not set as the default for the next download.

Is there a parameter I can set so this last path is used again?

Thanks,

M.

Hello

It appear that the option to never open link in external apps do not work the same when using Firefox from a link in the home screen.

- I configured Firefox to never open a link in an external app. - If I go to YouTube for example, I correctly do not get anymore the popup asking me to open the page in the YouTube application, so that is OK. - On the YouTube page, I use the menu of Firefox to click: Add to home screen. - Now when I use this home screen shortcut, I have the popup asking me to open the page in the YouTube application.

So it seems the setting is not use in this Home screen mode.

Can any of you have the same behavior, or am I missing something ?

Have a good day, thanks

PS: I'm using Firefox 128.0.2, on an Android 14 (Samsung Galaxy A54)

When I reopen my browser, the tabs to the right of what was the active tabs is chosen. Same thing when I close a tab, the tab to the right opens instead of going left.

There has to be a way to reverse these behaviors I assume are related.

Greetings...

In the Settings > Privacy & Security > History > Clear browsing data and cookies > Automatically clear all checked items when Firefox closes, I have the "Temporary cached files and pages" selected to be automatically cleared when I close Firefox.

Unfortunately, this does not appear to be working, in that when I reopen Firefox and immediately check the Cookies and Site Data or the History sections, the Temporary cached files contains the same MB of files that appeared before I closed Firefox.

Any idea why this setting appears not to be working as described and expected? Please advise. Thank you very much for your assistance. Take care...

Ever since updates in 2024 and late 2023, my view on Firefox websites has changed so the right side of pages is cut off. I am forced to use Google Chrome when I really want to use Firefox. I am not technically savvy to figure this out. If I change the Zoom, it also changes the font size. All I want is the previous view settings where my whole website page fits on my screen and I can read the text.

I'm using Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Mac Sonoma 14.5. Every once and a while, when Thunderbird crashes (unfortunately frequent, because of the numbers of folders and emails), my unified folder suddenly contains *all* of my folders, rather than just the 2 inboxes from my 2 different accounts, which is what I want and what I set up when I configured unified.

When I go into properties --> "select the folders to search" it allows me to uncheck 1 folder at a time. BUT I have 1,931 folders !

Is there a way to uncheck all folders in "select the folders to search" and then I can just check inbox in each of my 2 accounts?

Hi,

I recently setup a second computer and installed Thunderbird (Built 115.13.0 (64-bit)) again. I transferred all my preferences, but have this strange problem, that the appearance of the email list looks different. In the previously installed version it is a simple list with separators and in the new installed version every email is in a separate box. I included the screenshots as a reference.

I googled and searched the settings to align this, but unfortunately without success. Does anyone know how to change this?

Thank you!

Currently the taskbar icon only offers a few tasks in the context menu, such as open new tab, new window or private new window.

I understand that accessing about:config would allow me some other options, such as recently visited pages. And also allows me to remove those tasks.

I want to add the option to select which profile I open from that menu, instead of opening the default one, then selecting the correct profile in about:profiles that, in turn opens yet another window.

I tried adding a value "browser.taskbar.lists.profiles.enable" and several variations of that command. None worked.

Is there a way to add that option, so when I right-click the icon in the taskbar I can directly select the profile I want to launch?

I am a long time Thunderbird user, first use dates back to version 0.3 (yes I am very old :) ). Recently I have started my own domain and introduced a few new mail addresses. Every new mail address I define, comes at the bottom of the list of mailboxes. And now that my old mail address is no longer used, I would like it to the bottom of the list. I have not found how to do that. Can you explain how I can achieve this? Environment Win 10 22H2, Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64-bit). Thanks!

This means I have to download again to the correct directory/folder and give it a new name. Because there is no "Save As" option. I do not have this problem in Edge browser.

Hello I am constantly switching between Bookmarks and Tree Style Tab in the sidebar. The toolbar button "Show sidebars" is fine for switching between sidebar displayed or not, but switching between Bookmarks and Tree Style Tab is not so convenient : i have to go through the small menu and select either Bookmarks or Tree Style Tab, which is two clicks and a mouse move away, boring when you are constantly switching... Is there a way to add a second toolbar button to do this switching (or have two buttons, one for Bookmarks and one for Tree Style Tabs) ? Hope someone has a solution, thanks in advance. Alain Coste
