Hi all,

I have a question regarding the permission requests of the Simple Tab Groups extension by Drive4ik.

As I'm sure many of you know, this extension needs to: This add-on needs to:

• Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history
• Monitor extension usage and manage themes
• Display notifications to you
• Access recently closed tabs
• Hide and show browser tabs
• Access browser tabs
• Store unlimited amount of client-side data
• Access your data for all websites

This add-on may also ask to: Read and modify bookmarks

Theoretically, I find this extension useful but I am concerned about the "Access your data for all websites" requirement. I read through Mozilla's permission request messages for Firefox extensions documentation and it seems like granting this extension these permissions would be a huge risk for the work I do– investigative journalism. It seems like I'll trade organizational benefits for a wider attack surface.

Can anyone speak more about the risks involved with using this extension, the trustworthiness of the developer, and why it needs the "Access your data for all websites" capability?

Thank you.

Suddenly, bizarrely, some of my sub folders have disappeared. They are not "greyed out". They have totally disappeared. I now missing important content, that I need. I have been unable to find a solution by browsing on this forum. Can anyone help? And if they are gone for good, can anyone suggest how I can prevent this from happening again?

Somehow, I now have a duplicate email account. Changes to either one are reflected in the other account. So if I delete one, the other one will be duplicated. Also recently, each received email is duplicated.

I can live with each duplicated email but would like to get rid of the duplicated account.

Thanks, Sue

I am using FF on Debain 12 and have downloaded 131.0.3.tar.br2 sha256: fcd1e93221074a7b44445a99d81ea26e95fdc4c7e67000e748dab93cb12c2a13 I then did an update from the FF itself which brought me up to version 132.02 and I noticed that the container tab was missing.

Another Debain 12 workstation running 131.0.3 has the contain tab option.

Has the container tab been removed?

I cannot sign in with Firefox on Apple. I get "Username and password don't match". I can sign in with Safari, but not firefox.

I have tried password manager and clearing the cache

128.5.0esr (64-bit) / Windows

After a dozen or so minutes from starting, TB goes into a kind of suspended mode - it does not receive emails, and the bottom progress bar (from Activity Manager) remains unchanged (for example: it indicates 50% progress, but after clicking on it, Activity Manager does not show any ongoing activities) until TB is closed. I have 6 supported accounts + local. I have already reduced the number of supported emails lying in the mailboxes for the test, I have turned off indexing. The problem still occurs.

How can I investigate what is taking up TB so much (that it cannot receive emails) when Activity Manager does not indicate any activity?

Best Regards.

After Thunderbird just updated to Version 128.5.0esr today, now all my accounts are saying that the connection is refused. This is coming from three different email services that I have accounts on. I'm assuming it's not an issue with those servers as I can access them just fine with a different email client, and I didn't change any settings. Yesterday it worked, today it doesn't. Only thing that seems to have changed is Thunderbird got updated.

After updating to 128.4.4esr I can no longer send email - NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED. I can create a new message, hit Ctl-S to save and I get a dialog box of "Status: Creating mail message..." and a progress indicator that is at 100%. I also get an error of "Unable to save your messages as a draft. Sending of the message failed".

If I attempt to send and email I get the same creating mail message and an error dialog box saying "Sending of the message failed".

In the error console I see

• Bulleted list itemSending failed; , exitCode=2152857621, originalMsgURI=imap-message://andrew@defaria.com/INBOX#67121
• NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED: Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFile.createUnique]

I looked at my ~/.thunderbird directory and the permissions are 700. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04.

Can you add an option to have the menu bar on top instead of the bottom? I rather have it on top like it used to be, so I would like for there to at least be an option to change it.

I am supposed to be on the esr release program, but today I was automatically updated to beta release 133.0. This is the second time this happened. Thunderbird shows a red screen, and recommends I install the last stable release, 128.5.0esr, which is what I want to do. But the last time, when I tried to go back to a stable release, it then wouldn't let me do that because it says the profile may no longer be compatible. I solved it painfully using timemachine backups of older profiles.

What is the simplest, safest way to downgrade, now that I am in this situation? And why is this happening?

Thanks for your help!

HELP! This new version installed today, and Thunderbird suddenly stopped running and no longer runs. I get the message: "A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version, or create a new profile for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires setting up your accounts, calendars and add-ons again."

The message seems erroneous because it is running the newest version. Should I step back a version? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks!

How do I turn this odd feature that dims FF bars when window loses focus? As of look of it only tabbar and toolbar are affected. I couldn't find anything relevant under "about:config". Also some tricks with CSS didn't work for me, maybe because I have custom chromeCSS that brings tabbar under bookmarksbar and applies other customization so that FF window looks like old good FF before they started to put everything on a single line in the bar. Thanks in advance.

How can I make the conversations to be displayed in the reversed order, i.e. if I have ten messages in the conversation, make the last one appear at the top line? Essentially at the very least I want conversations that have unread messages to be highlighted in the main view. How can I make that happen?

I keep experiencing this problem with different websites: Safari works, Firefox doesn't.

Sample: I turned out the enhanced tracking protection, Privacy is set to Standard for

https://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/default.aspx

I entered valid license numbers (230880, 239798). Firefox displays NOTHING, no error message. Safari displays the relevant info.

Why is this and what should I do if I want to continue using Firefox? Thanks.

Dear Sir,

Since transferring from Heart Internet to Thunderbird, which was forced upon me, I have had numerous issues. Right now, I cannot enter my password as the password that I have is not accepted. In addition, I am unable to access my emails on my Apple cellphone.

I cannot reset my password as I need to be allowed access first and I cannot gain access without my password being accepted.

Yours faithfully,

Cannot open Analyst links on eTrade website. Looking at a particular stock and clicking on the Analysts link opens another window showing individual analysts and articles relating to their opinions of this stock. I cannot click on either the analyst's name nor the articles associated with their name. eTrade customer service says Firefox is not working well on their site. I tried Microsoft Edge and everything was fine. Is there some feature I should enable on Firefox or is this a shortcoming in Firefox?
