I get this sometimes when moving/backing up profile contents, even when the the eventual path of the moved contents will be shorter than the original.

I have a problematic profile, so I copied it's contents to another folder with a shorter title in the same directory, but I prevented from including the file in question.

In this particular situation, the file in question is an .html file opened in a session tab. I assume It's omission not going to be detrimental.

Has anyone seen this sort of thing occurring with files that directly affect profile operations? I'm wondering if that sort of thing might be contributing to my current recurring profile issues.

When trying to sign into a sweepstakes like HGTV Sweepstakes, the website will not show the "Fill-in the Blank" area to insert my email address. This happens in all the sweepstakes that I try to enter. If I use Microsoft Edge, the Fill-In Blank is there, but not when I use Firefox. It will work on my laptop in Firefox, but not on my desktop.

Xpunge no longer works since the Thunderbird update; the new one won't be ready until sometime in Sept. (hopefully). I installed the only other add-on that looks as though it should be able to get rid of what's in my junk mail folders. However, I can find no information on it.

It says it's in its own folder, but I can't find it anywhere. It doesn't seem to work automatically and I can't seem to refuse permission for it to read and move my messages (or any other permissions). Does anyone know anything about this? With Xpunge I clicked on it and all of the messages in my junk and/or trash folders (my choice) were deleted; that's what I'm looking for.

1. Where can I find it? It isn't on the toolbar. 2. Can I expect it to automatically move messages to my junk mail folder -- messages that I don't want junked? 3. Will it delete all of the mail in the junk folders of all of my accounts or just move mail to the junk folders? I'm computer-based.

I use Mozilla for incoming mail, but cannot get it to send mail out. I get an error message to check my SMTP settings, which I have done repeatedly, and it doesn't fix the problem. I use those same settings to send my mail OUT with webmail (which is inconvenient to have to switch all the time), so I know the settings are correct. Can you help me understand why my outgoing mail won't work even when I verify that the settings are correct.

I finally figured out what was causing the problem from this, old question.

I have filters set to auto-forward mail to another email account. Apparently when you have a forwarding filter, it does not add those messages to the outbox.

I want to sequester Address Bar Function in the main address area for web address or native locations, from search function contained inside of the window, the search should be only a web search, but I think that part is covered in standard settings, so address. Thanks Much

I just started getting this error:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.newsmax.com.

I cannot find how to make this stop. I will get emails from Newsmax about articles and if there is something I want to read I click on the link in the email. I never had a problem with Firefox not opening the link. This just started and I can not get the link to open. I have Newsmax set up as a home setting. However, after I got the Secure Connection Failed error, I could not open the Newsmax web page even if I typed in www.newsmax.com. I am about to uninstall Firefox and use another browser. Can you please tell me how to fix this?

This has been going on for way to long.

Why can't I copy on so many web pages any more. I understand that SOME web pages are set up to not let you do so but that isn't very many. And, yes - I have followed the instructions and have the box in my setting checked.

I use to not have a problem coping from Google search but run into this problem more and more often.

If I go to EDGE I can copy without a problem.

And along these same lines, I have many etrade pages that will not load - no problem with same pages using EDGE.

I have used FF for years and years - I like it but it is getting to where if I have to keep going over to EDGE why not just use it to start with?

Take care - jb

Strangely, I can't figure out how to add to someone else's post if it doesn't already have replies so I'm having to start my own thread. Anyway...

Thunderbird on my system is 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and a day or two ago it updated itself to version 115.10.1. Since then it's been slow at sending emails, receiving emails, applying filters and pretty much everything else. Is this being worked on? I saw a couple of similar reports from other people here but like I said, I can't add a reply to them.

And if it's not known about or being worked on, is there some way I can roll back an update?

If I configure DoH in Windows 11, Firefox is unable to make any name lookups.

Originally I had DoH configured in Firefox, I wanted to use a Custom provider so I entered the details, and this worked initially.

I then configured the Windows 11 OS itself with the DoH custom provider, and this also worked in other apps, I could also use nslookup to successfully perform name lookups.

However, after configuring DoH in the OS, when I returned to Firefox, I could no longer access any websites. If I reconfigured Firefox to use CloudFlare or NextDNS with DoH, they also would not work. If I disabled DoH in Firefox and used regular DNS, Firefox was still incapable of performing any name lookups and accessing any websites. Only when disabling DoH in the OS did Firefox begin working normally again. I re-enabled my custom DoH in Firefox and it works as long as I do not enable DoH at the OS level.

Is this a bug?
