Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

After migrating my Windows Live Mail (WLM) 2012 email folders to Thunderbird, I saw that the folder names were truncated and not the same long name I had the folder named in WLM. I have been editing the folder names by copying the WLM folder name to my clipboard and then renaming that truncated folder name in Thunderbird by renaming the folder use the CTRL-V (paste from clipboard).

Prior to today after having done the above, the renamed folder in Thunderbird was moved according to its new alphabetical name in the listing, but usually in the same vicinity of folders that I was renaming. Now, the newly renamed folder seems to disappear from the listing. I scrolled through all of the folders from a to z but couldn't find it. Out of desperation, I closed Thunderbird and then reopend it to see if that would refresh my list of folders with those folders I had just renamed. And, sure enough all of those renamed folders are visible and in the correct alphatical place on the list.

Any guidance or insight would be greatly appreciated!

By using Process Explorer or Process Hacker or maybe task manager, I hope you can also verify that Firefox consumes a few GDI handles per open tab. Windows has a global limit and a per process limit of 10000. GDI objects are used for windows, for the file save dialog and also for user interface elements like buttons or lists. However many applications like Firefox draw everything themself like XUL etc. But still, Firefox consumes 3 handles for me (verified on another computer) per open tab.

If you have a lot of tabs open (for reasons not to be discussed in this topic) this can be problematic. If it reaches 10000 windows will not create more. Sometimes firefox hangs, but often Fullscreen (e.g. youtube videos) will not work and the gui will disappear. Also the context menu will not open and the save dialog cannot work and is hidden.

Am I the first to report this? I did not find anything. Can this be fixed? Can I post this to bugzilla?

Can anyone confirm this? The latest version does not fix it.

whenever i open google and search anything on google.then there are numbers of search comming out and when i click on any links it automatically open new tab instead of in that i want in single tab.please this is an error i am finding.

the sites that I open in Firefox take some part of the theme applied to the browser and this prevents me from seeing the elements of the site (the screenshot should have a white background)

Whenever I try to login to Pocket, no matter the method, it always reloads and boots me back to the login page again. There is no error message or indication of anything wrong with the login otherwise. Attempting to reset my password doesn't help, as I receive no reset email in my inbox or spam folder, although I do receive "new sign in to pocket" alerts through my email. I've tried logging in on different devices and browsers, so this is likely an account issue, but I don't know how this would happen. I've messed with my account associated email before though, if that would affect it. This has been a problem for a year or so I believe.

Greetings, I received an email today from notifications@support.mozilla.org informing me that I have a new private message. The message was inappropriate. The email was in my Inbox, not the Junk folder. I viewed the Message Source information and the content is similar to legitimate email notifications I have received in the past from notifications@support.mozilla.org. I checked the Return Path and glanced at all the information but perhaps I do not know what to look for.

Can someone offer me any guidance as to what to do about this? If the message source is legitimate as it appears to be, was Mozilla's community support forum hacked? Normally I would put an email like this in the Junk folder and block the sender, but if the email address is legitimate then I'm not sure how to proceed. Is there a Mozilla email address for reporting emails like this? I can't change my email address associated with my Mozilla account so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

starting yesterday i cannot log in to chatgpt from firefox (using google if it matters). none of the buttons in this screen work. disabled my extentions, disabled enhanced tracking protection, cleared cache and cookies nothing help. all of these buttons are unclickable. don't know what went wrong but something sure did because this problem is new

I want to use Firefox to open local files on my Android tablet. Please explain how to reference local files by way of "file://" URLs.

Many thanks in advance.

I enter the primary password for saved password when starting FF as prompted. It takes password fine and works just fine on sites just as designed and has worked for years. Lately last couple weeks since last update to 132.0.1 I notice a change. I didn't notice before this update. When starting Firefox it asks for primary password which is normal, I enter it and all is fine. I can go to sites and all works fine, passwords and user id are entered when prompted. However, later in the day when I go to a site wanting password, I get the prompt to enter primary password again. That never use to happen, once I entered the primary password, it didn't prompt again unless Firefox was restarted. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it started and I just didn't notice some time ago. I know it wasn't that long ago the primary password prompt didn't have the little eye so you could see what you typed. I liked that, because FF for whatever reason wasn't always realizing I had the shift key pressed. Now with the eyeball I can see that it doesn't have what I typed, but that is not the problem I am asking about. Below is what Mozilla says about primary password:

Important: After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords. This also applies if you want to add, remove or show a password.

Firefox installed updates yesterday and left a message saying I had to turn on my cookes. I can't access my email until I do. But I can't find the place to do that. Please help.
