I have the same question as the OP in this post from a few years ago: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1265898#answer-1241526].

I am currently finding that the address bar history search using caret "^", does not always list all the webpages that I have visited, especially if I found the page using the search bar within the site. Is there a way to enable Form and Search History in the most recent versions of Firefox as described in the previous post?

I'd love to find a solution! Sometimes this happens when opening a link from my email (to a well-known retailer as shown in the images below), and at other times it is in response to a website requesting information as part of a 2-factor ID request or, or even a password change. It has become almost almost debilitating! What setting seems to be wrong here.

I use Webroot SecureAnywhere and the relevant updates are applied automatically.

I installed Firefox on a Macbook Pro with Apple Silicon, M3. The installation was from the Firefox site, I downloaded the dmg and then dragged into Applications.

I find that playback of media stutters, and is choppy--not sure of a better way to explain it. E.g., YouTube videos and the Bandcamp player have "stuttered sound". Opening another site in another tab can make this effect worse. Likewise, trying to run Google Meet in a browser window causes basically everything on the computer to become very slow.

This still happens even if I go to "about:profiles" and then "restart with add-ons disabled".

But if I switch to another browser, Safari or Chrome, then I don't have the issue. e.g. I can play YouTube in the background fine even when running some compute intensive task.

I have also tried turning on/off "performance settings" and the "use hardware acceleration" checkbox underneath it -- neither of those seem to have any effect.

Activity Monitor showed that at most Firefox was using ~4 GB of memory of a total 48 GB, and the memory pressure indicator seems to be quite low.

I have run Firefox on other systems (e.g. System76, older Macbook Pro) with multiple windows open each having 20-30 tabs and never had an issue like this.

It really seems like it has something to do with how Firefox is interacting with the M3? Happy to learn I'm wrong. And happy to provide more details about the hardware or my settings if it would help.

I was trying to download ledger live from an official site when I noticed Firefox had twice tried and failed to download an old version of the tor browser I downloaded a long time ago.

A few hours before this happened my pc froze for a minute.

I'm not sure if I have malware on my device or if this is Firefox acting up. My antivirus scan shows nothing.

Greetings,

In Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) on Linux Debian 12.6, when I examine "Help -> About", cursor movement in the focused information window moves the list of messages displayed underneath in the unfocused messages window. Hopefully the image suggests the issue. Is this an OS problem or something that can be corrected in Thunderbird?

Also, I maintain several accounts, each with several folders. It would be helpful if these all stayed collapsed until selected, with a digit alongside indicating the number of unread messages in each, but recently they each seem to fully expand at inopportune times, making email management rather difficult.

Is this the result of a selectable setting somewhere, please?

When I start a email message search, I am bombarded with bad suggestions for email addresses. These include addresses from everyone I've received email from even though I have deleted these entries in collected email addresses and my personal address book.

The addresses could be from old purchases or ebay responses or anyone I've ever received an email from. I have deleted most of the emails entirely, yet I still get all these bad addresses when I search.

Is there a way to clear the history in search or remove the email addresses where I have deleted the email?

I've attached a Home Depot search as an example.

How do i access Google OneDrive via Firefox so as to delete my sensitive personal info such as financial PDFs and personal pics, which involuntarily got copied to Google OneDrive thru an erroneous mouseClick?

See, when i keyword search online, it states that Google Drive can be accessed via one's browser for purposes of accessing/deleting one's files. (Frankly, i don't even know if OneDrive is GoogleDrive? Is it?

It's upsetting to me that Google has loads of my personal info, because over the years everyone has been saying "Use Gmail", and so i made that my main email due to convenience. But Google now has, for example, some of my personal home photo's and private financial PDFs, all because I absentmindedly clicked my mouse on a risky part of my email attachments, not realizing that would transfer the JPG (or PDF) to Google OneDrive.

I believe this started happening ever since they imposed the New Gmail without giving us a choice. Prior to that, when i used HTMLgmail, i don't recall this happening when i clicked attachments. With Simple HTML, if i clicked an attachment, i saw a photo. It didn't INVOLUNTARILY auto-transfer my pics/pdfs to Google OneDrive, which precisely reminds me of automatic faucets and towel-dispensers and light-shutters in public buildings, all of which are human-unfriendly.

A couple of days ago I had to change my default browser from Firefox to Chrome to fix a problem on a particular company's web site. After I made Firefox the default browser again I found that every hyperlink in an email or a document that I clicked on opened Firefox at the same web page: "https://read.amazon.com/landing".

I have no idea what I might have done to create this situation, let alone how to undo it.

I am using Linux Mint with Firefox, Thunderbird and Libre Office.

When checking my email the 'Thunderbird' status bar says "downloading message' (as normal), but sometimes the message does not appear in my Inbox or any folder.

I'm using Thunderbird 115.12.0 on Linux Ubuntu. The email is downloaded via the POP protocol.

I have checked on the server and nothing is left there.

Using the Thunderbird search function on 'date' only, the e-mails actually in the inbox or folders show up, not the one purported to have been downloaded.

All of my folders are set to 'Unthreaded'.

Any ideas please?
