Firefox was once the most popular browser in the world, but then Mozilla started releasing updates every week and became disgusting. Now Mozilla has a tiny piece of the market, they have essentially lost almost everything, but they continue to shit with updates like diarrhea, which most users do not need and it's impossible to refuse the annoying, ugly constant reminder about updates. I'm not even talking about the fact that after a refusal to update to a new version, there is a forced update to a new version without permission. So, why doesn't this company learn from its mistakes and become at least a little smarter?

My company has been using the same customized autoconfig.js without issue since last year's FF 115 esr release on our Ubuntu servers.

cat /opt/firefox-115.13.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

Now we are testing the 128 esr next releases with the same config and getting the failed to read the configuration file. please contact your system administrator error

cat /opt/firefox-128.1.0esr/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js pref("browser.tabs.inTitlebar", 0); pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); pref("pdfjs.annotationEditorMode", 1);

If remove pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); or set it to 1, the error goes away, but our actual firefox.cfg does not get read and are configs are not present at all.

I am using Thunderbird on Windows 11 and I have foolishly allowed it to update itself to release 128.1.0.esr without checking the bug reports first. Now it turns out that this release removed the possibility to search the calendar for past events, which is absolutely essential for me. There is a Bugzilla entry for this but it is bogged down in discussions about who needs which date ranges to search in and how many instances to show for recurring events, so I don't expect a solution any time soon. How can I revert Thunderbird to the last release which still has that functionality? I have regular backups of my userprofile folder in case it helps.

The Firefox Linux Systems inappropriately stops to play online videos, the social media videos or display pictures. The system is not manageable by administrators at the public library and is only helped sometimes by government officials. Is there anyway the Library system could be helped to play videos.

I am trying to use the tree style tree expansion for Firefox. When I install the tab bar appears at left side as it should, BUT the tab bar appears at the top too. I understand it has to do with the userChrome.css: Questions: 1. The css file is supposed to be created in this folder: C:\Users\jssch\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ 6p6hqx7v.App1d96b2329ff34563bd901f480a66632f\storage\permanent\chrome I that the correct location customized for my pc. 2. Could you supply the correct code for the css file. I am assuming I can use Notepad++ to create the file.

Thank you for your assistance. My email is jsschwab2002@gmail.com

After Thunderbird update on 8/12/24, I can no longer open PDF attachements. The attachements are there, they simply cannot be opened. I can save the same PDF files to Downloads etc, so the file is there. Also cannot open any PDF file received previous to this date, that I could open before the update.

Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

I have bookmarks and saved passwords from an old computer (x86) that I want to import to a new computer (M1).

I have the drive with all my old files on it, and can mount it on my new computer. It is not possible to boot the old computer to export my files. How can I migrate them using purely file operations to the new Firefox?
