Is Firefox now a complete tool of Google ? about:preferences#search there is no way to delete google as search engine I have startpage and duckduckgo as alternative options listed and I can remove them, but google cannot be removed as the REMOVE button is not highlighted in case of Google. Why do you hardcode Google as the default browser for the URL bar ?

From the attached image you can see that the "Remove Tab" is inactive specifically for google. I tried absolutely all advice on the net, and nothing works. Firefox now seemingly FORCES us to use google. This behavior was not present in the previous firefox version I used. It immediately happened after update to 128.0.3 (64-bit).

Is google now hardcoded into firefox ? If so it is time for a hard fork in the firefox code. Hopefully it is not needed.

In addition Google was ruled to be a Monopoly today by a federal judge,

https://apnews.com/article/google-antitrust-search-engine-verdict-apple-319a61f20fb11510097845a30abaefd8

So it would be better for Mozilla/Firefox to not continue the monopoly and become an enabling party in monopoly lawsuits.

firefox-esr policies.json file question

Hello All,

I am trying to enforce policies on latest firefox-esr installed through .DEB method as detailed in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux and I can launch the firefox from terminal as : > firefox-esr - Also I have removed the snap version of firefox that comes bundled with Ubuntu 22.04 x86_64 distribution.

Questions that I have are :

1. Policy Enforcement I am trying to enforce policies on firefox-esr as per the article https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/ and have a rather simple policies.json file stored in the folder /etc/firefox-esr/policies/ - The policies.json file is : {

 "policies":{
   "PasswordManagerEnabled": false
 }

}

However when I check the settings, the password manager is still enabled. - What is the correct path where the policies.json file stored in Ubuntu Linux distributions where firefox-esr package is installed through "Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions" and for all users ... meaning apply globally ?

2. When I removed the snap version of firefox, this also removed the icon from the quick-launch side bar / Dock Menu of Ubuntu - How do I the firefox-esr application to Ubuntu dock through command line for all users ?

I like to have all folders displayed - also if they are not 'subscribed'. The reason is that we have shared e-mail accounts and colleagues may create folders which I will not see until I know that I have to subscribe to the new folder. Every time I recognize this I do a Google search to find the checkbox 'Show only subscribed folders' and uncheck it. Would it be possible to put that in a more prominent place than 'Advanced...'? Or even better a global setting that all new accounts I connec inherit the setting "'Show only subscribed folders' unchecked".

My user profile for windows became corrupted in some way and I couldn't get into the PC. In desperation I choose to reinstall windows. I assumed it would save my personal data but it would remove any apps. So when I reinstalled Thunderbird I had hoped to be able to link to my local folders. However, I can't. I've tried a few of the suggestions I've found on Mozilla forums but they're not working for me. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

In Outlook, when I navigate to a folder and reply to an email in that folder, the email I send is automatically categorised into that folder, and no other copy appears elsewhere (such as in the 'Sent' folder).

Is this behaviour natively possible in Thunderbird without resorting to an add-on?

I realise there is the option to 'Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to' in the 'Copies & Folders' settings of the email account, but this places a second copy in the 'Sent' folder. I tried experimenting with the radio button options '"Sent" Folder on' and 'Other' in the same settings section, but no combination seems to place one and only one email corresponding to the email I sent in the folder I emailed from without creating a copy in the 'Sent' folder of the account.

TB 128.0.1esr (64-bit), updated a couple of days ago, highlights the destination folder so faintly when I drag and drop an email from another folder that it's hard to be sure I've selected the right folder. Until now the highlighting has been prominent so drag-and-drop went much faster.

Is this hard-wired in the app? I checked the settings menus and don't find a user preference for controlling this highlighting.

Hi, I am writing on behalf of an elderly user who sometimes closes Thunderbird windows when making their way to other Thunderbird windows or Tabs which are open. This sometimes leads to the situation where, in the Windows taskbar, there is no blue Thunderbird icon visible, but there are Thunderbird Write icons visible (the black-coloured fat pencil icon). The problem is that the "Launched" or "Home" icon can vanish from the Taskbar even when the Thunderbird program is open, such as for writing an email.

This person's workflow requires the blue icon to be stable - it should never disappear from the Taskbar, even if certain Thunderbird windows are closed. I have tried explaining the logic and what to do, but after decades of using "forever stable" email software and their permanent "stable Home icons are always to be found in the Taskbar" I am unable to change the users' expectations about usability.(I am providing family IT support for my elderly parents and others.)

I would like to implement a script or install an add-in which ensures that the blue Thunderbird "Launched" or "Home" icon is permanently welded to the Taskbar, like a limpet, in all circumstances.

This "Sticky blue Home Thunderbird icon in the Taskbar" would be an acceptable usability outcome even if it means computer performance is degraded by allowing users to open multiple instances of Thunderbird.

Put plainly, they want it more and if performance is the price to pay, they will accept that price.

Is any such script available? Is there a switch in the coding I can change to enable stickiness? Is there an Add-In which can achieve this outcome? Is there any other path to the desired solution?

Thank you for your time considering this and solutions.
