FB messenger voice & video no longer compatible with Firefox (Mac OS). Is there a fix or is it Meta playing nasty games with Firefox users?

I have latest FireFox, iOS & Messenger updates.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

My Thunderbird Version: 115.12.2 (32 Bit)

Microsoft is changing the authentication method for outlook mail to OAuth2. I follow the guide here,

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

And I get to this screen - but my version of the program does not have OAuth2 as an option (see attached image).

Thanks for the help.

I Have Had It Installed On Microsoft Edge For About A Year With No Problems. I Had It Installed For About 3 Months On Firefox Then I Needed To Install It Again & I Get The Above Messages. Why Is It Doing This? There Hasn't Been Any Harm Done To My Computer. Also Firefox Needs A Customer Service Phone Number For People To Call & Explain Their Issues It's A Lot Quicker & Easier To Solve Your Problem.

I have a Samsung A14.....using an Android 14 operating system. I have Dark mode on at all times on my phone, however when I go online to any sites, it defaults to white screen. I have tried the settings on the phone and in the Firefox settings but it still shows up in white screen. On my old phone, I can get all websites in dark mode so I know it is possible, can anyone help me?? Thanks

YouTube all of a sudden started to slow down and only be able to load videos fast enough in 360p resolution, I tried watching YouTube on Microsoft edge and YouTube handled 1080p easily there, I have cleared the cash and made sure my Firefox and Windows are up to date and still the issue persists.

this only seams to occur on YouTube as amazon prime and speed test works without issues

Firefox is very dear to me. I use it on my computer all the time for how much more relatively secure it is from other browsers. But Android version is a hellish nightmare. When I open the app, even with no previous tabs on, it will not be responsive for more than 30-45 seconds for seemingly no reason. Same thing when I kill the app and start it again. If it does have open tabs, it will either not be able to fetch their sum number to be displayed on the top right corner until that aforementioned timespan passes, and/or I wont be able to remove/add tabs until again that period of time passes! This is a blocking issue that's been there for well over a year and a half, if not longer!

I setup sync, the device paired. It said it was syncing and when finished the bookmarks folder looked totally different on my kindle fire. I can not find any of the recently added bookmarks on the kindle. The History and Open Tabs are still the same, I didn't have those selected for sync. I checked and one password that I knew was previously incorrect on the kindle got updated to the correct one from the desktop. But I am worried about any possible passwords that were only on the kindle or were correct on the kindle and incorrect on the desktop, based on the bookmarks I suspect those were lost also. I was worried about this and had tried to find the profile data on the kindle but no file manager helped, I couldn't find it anywhere. And there doesn't seem to be a way to access profile manager on android. I also poked around with adb with no success. I was hoping to make a backup before using sync but I gave up and did sync anyway. Is there anyway to recover this data?

Everytime I try to open MediaFire it's just a blank page, I've refreshed the page repeatedly but it didn't work, I also tried with other links, but it also didn't work, I kept seeing the blank page over and over again.

Firefox's PDF viewer incorrectly applies user-defined font settings intended for HTML pages, resulting in illegible PDFs and requiring time-consuming workarounds.

Key Points: 1. When "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" is disabled in Firefox settings, the built-in PDF viewer renders some PDFs with incorrect fonts, replacing characters with icons and gifs. 2. This setting should only affect HTML pages, not PDFs, as PDFs are designed to maintain the author's exact formatting. 3. Current workarounds (saving/opening PDFs locally or toggling the font settings) are inconvenient and disrupt workflow. (Open a settings tab, navigate to fonts, navigate to advanced, toggle the option, select okay, return to prior tab, reload, view without error, then repeat the process to restore preferred settings.) 4. Users who prefer custom fonts for HTML content are forced to choose between readable PDFs and their preferred web browsing experience.

Background: HTML is intended to decompose information exchange in such a way that the viewer has control of aspects such as fonts; while PDF is a format designed specifically to present exactly as the author intended. The difference is the primary reason an author would choose to use pdf vs html. The issues can be reproduced with B612 and other fonts, in Firefox 127.0.2 and many earlier versions, on github repositories pages that embed pdf files, and most other pdf files opened with the viewer.

Proposed Solution: Implement a separate font control setting for the PDF viewer, allowing users to maintain their custom font preferences for HTML content while correctly rendering PDFs with the author's intended fonts. Or, simply disallow the setting to apply to the PDF Viewer.

Impact: Resolving this issue will significantly improve user experience, maintain the integrity of PDF documents, and eliminate the need for disruptive workarounds, ultimately enhancing productivity for affected users.

I composed an outgoing email message that I wanted to keep for future use, and saved it as a Template. That not only saved it under the unified Templates heading, but created a second appearance of my main email account with its own Templates subfolder. At that point I decided I really didn't want to keep it after all, so I deleted the message, but the second Templates folder didn't disappear; its still on the tree list as an empty folder. Right-clicking that folder doesn't have a Delete function, but it does present a Repair option, but running that doesn't help. How do I get rid of that unneeded individual email account listing and the empty Templates folder?

I just added [and "Apply View"] to this question. -mr

Does "Apply columns" work in Tbird 115.12.2 (64-bit)?

I searched 'Thunderbird Solutions' for "Apply columns", then read several of the 156 results, and read the Help Article "Message List Columns" ... but the results were [imo] not encouraging :-(

Does "Apply columns to" really work as described in Help Article "Message List Columns" ?

Is "Apply columns" a known flakey feature ??

Have I got a corrupted profile ???

Or ????

Thank you, --Mike Ramey

Hi there! After a short elektricity blackout my PC was rebooted and I lost functionality of shortcuts on Mozilla default home page, turning on or off this shortcuts leads nowhere and just move search bar.

TeamVIEWER icon showed up on laptop this morning - my regular Mac desktop screen missing, figured out it TV was appearing under Guest User. Then I made error of downloading installer thinking my son was wanting to help me clean up my lap top from afar because I am 80 and get very confused and had asked him for help because I don't understand the tech vocabulary. Anyway, I can't get rid of it. It had someone's PW (hidden) an ID and could be 'remote controlled'. I saw a yellow caution sign appear so I stopped trying to install. but now I get a TEAM VIEWER Package that won't delete or go away.

This is very scary to a senior because EVERYONE is warning us don't click on unknowns. No one has used my laptop. I live alone. It appeared by itself this morning. And it had a Safari icon but I use only Firefox.

Thank you.

I have set Firefox to not automatically restore the previous session on launch. That is, "Open previous windows and tabs" is unchecked in the Startupsettings.

Most of the time it does not do so, however the previous session will get erroneously auto-restored in the folowing circumstances.

Open a few tabs in a normal Firefox window. Fully quit Firefox (via, for example, pressing ctrl+shift+Q). Open a private window first. Open a normal window second.

What should happen is that the new normal window contains just a single new tab. What actually happens is that the tabs that were open in the previous session get auto-restored in this normal window.

To sum up, there is no auto-session restore if Firefox is launched with a normal window first. There is auto-session restore if Firefox is launched with a private window first, and then a normal window is opened second.

Is this a known issue, and are there any known fixes to prevent the auto-session restore in the latter case also?

I've added https://x.com as an exception site but it is still blocked.

This is outright censorship which is something fascists do.

Tell me how to fix your browser so I may access x.com again or I stop using Firefox forever.
