Hi! I'm trying to set Thunderbird as the operating system default under Win 11. I tried to follow Mozilla's instructions: 1. Open the Settings application by pressing and releasing the Windows Start button, then clicking the gear icon. 2. Click the Apps icon, then click Default Apps in the list. 3. Click the icon under the heading Email to show your choices. 4. Select Thunderbird. The trouble is that at n. 3 there is no choice. There is only 'OutlookAccounts' and this item cannot be deleted or replaced. Can you help? All the best, Robifiori

Some time ago, for some reason, whenever I opened google search or any tab, Firefox automatically directed me to Offidocs. Because of the confusion and inconvenience, after several online searches, I disabled PDF Editor online in extensions, without realizing any possible implications. I assumed that I can restore/enable PDF Editor online if and when I need it. Only when I tried to do so, I noticed the message "This extension is blocked for violating Mozilla's policies and has been disabled". I am unable to figure out which Mozilla policy I may have violated and for what reason.

Please advise me how to resolve this issue and how to enable PDF Editor online. I would like to use this facility as a matter of urgency. I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.

The pause feature in the debug menu doesn't always work. Pressing F8 to toggle it does in general work, but I noticed when I enter a context menu on some websites, pressing F8 with the debug menu open doesn't do anything. This is especially annoying for me because when I am making UserStyles (custom user-made CSS) for websites, some elements disappear when trying to find them in inspect element using the "pick an element from the page" feature. I thought pausing could fix it (which in other cases can) but that also wasn't working. If anyone can help me that would be appreciated!

(Also, pressing the pause button directly also makes the element disappear, so that wont work)

Firefox 139.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11

I occasionally increase the zoom level of websites (usually forums) with Ctrl+mouse wheel if the default text size is too small. However, if I forget to set them back to 100% (Ctrl+0) before closing the tab, the next time I open that URL, it's at the former adjusted zoom level -- not 100%. Really annoying.

How do I force Firefox to open all URLs at 100% regardless of the last custom zoom level? I have default zoom already set to 100% in Settings and Zoom Text Only is not enabled.

Thanks.

When I turned on my PC this morning there was a new message that popped-up that I never sent which was very difficult to cancel/close/discard so I rebooted my laptop. When I went back into Thunderbird to create a new message, the entire screen was dark and filled with coding (see screen shot below.) If I click on each element I can delete them and get back to a blank page. Also, it appears, thankfully, I am sending and receiving emails as normal. My email domain is with Go Daddy and I do use Owl so don't know if that has any effect. I would appreciate any help. Thank You!

On my old laptop, the favorites bookmarks toolbar was on a separate line from left to right.

On my new laptop, this toolbar is on the same line with the URL. So there is only room for 6 bookmarks. (See screenshot)

How can this be changed to 2 separare lines?

I have had Thunderbird set to play a sound file when I get a new mail message. I am currently on v128.11.0esr after being on 115 and earlier. I got the custom sound playing whenever a new incoming message arrived but the last several versions seem to have broken that. Possibly v102 was the last time it worked and has reverted to the default system sound for new mail.

After updating to v128.11.0 I was checking all the settings and noticed that path to the sound file shows '%' in place of any spaces in the folder path. I never paid attention to the % before since it worked on this Windows 10 computer since new in 2021 but stopped working in the last few years. I did notice that Edge opens some .mht files and displays the locally saved web pages with the % without a problem. Actually displays '%20' instead of the spaces. If I do file open from Firefox after navigating to the .mht file it opens in Edge instead of Firefox. Not sure if Edge or Firefox saved the webpage originally but now only Edge will open it.

I did change the folder name replacing the spaces with '_' and now the sound will play but if Windows allows spaces in folder names and paths why should Thunderbird now care?

I use the middle button only for toggling auto-scrolling on and off, or at least that's what I want to do.

That works, unless I mistakenly (often) click the button while over a hyperlinked image or link. In that case, the link opens in a new tab which disrupts my workflow.

How can I set up the mouse in FireFox so that clicking the middle button will ONLY toggle scrolling on and off and never open a link that may happen to be under the cursor?

I've been looking for a solution for this online for ages, and hope there is a setting for this. It's a frustration many times daily.

Firefox is opening on startup even though it is disabled in the settings.

I try to change the settings in Firefox and it prompts me to open my windows startup settings page.

The windows startup settings page does not have a Firefox on the list.

Both methods of disabling startup is inaccessible.

It looks like startup is disabled according to Firefox's settings, but it is not.

This is super annoying and a stupid problem.

After a recent update, firefox has sometimes started shifting my currently-active tab to the end of the list when I click on it. It's messing up my organization, especially when I click on something in a tab group, because when it gets moved to the end, it removes it from the tab group. Any idea how to disable this? I can't find a setting for it.
