I recently started to receive this error message: The folder 'Inbox on [email protected]' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." I have over 300 GB free disk space and full control of the file system. How can I make compacting folders work again?

Ed - Thanks for that thread. Since I posted my question originally (and can't find where just now) I did try one add-on called STOP AUTO RELOAD by kgersen and I'm trying that. I couldn't understand how to add the particular address I wanted to use it on, but it's helping on FB without having entered FB's addy. Most of the time it stops the refresh. If I leave it too long tho, when I come back it does refresh, but at least it isn't refreshing while I'm trying to read it. The annoying blue label "refresh" still comes on my page, but I ignore it.

I miss being able to chose which language to translate to on a per-site basis AND the browser remember that setting. If you want to permanently translate to a specific language you have to change the preferred display language for all websites as I understand it. Actually it would suffice to be able to set a standard language to translate to, but independent of the preferred display language.

I know Firefox Translate is still Beta so perhaps this important enhancement is in the pipeline?

How to merge two different sets of Firefox bookmarks simultaneously popping-up 2 different Firefox web-pages into a single Firefox browser system? Please help and advise. Many thanks.

Please advise how I can get get the correct IMAP server address. I need it for Google Data Migration .

I am migrating .mbox file to my new google workspace

I have tried entering server name under server settings(imap.gmail.com) but unfortunately that does not seem to work.

I have Firefox installed on my Android phone. I have some add ons, they are enabled, I can aecess them in settings. However, in order to use them, I need to access them in the Toolbar. For instance, I need to access the VPN in order to select a country and start it -- and later turn it off.

How can I show the tool bar, like on a computer, in order to do those things? That cannot be done in the listing of add ons installed (Manage your add ons). The VPN is enabled, but it can't be turned on in the Add On "Manage your add ons) list (That's the name of it on the computer, don't know what it might be on Android.)

I run Thunderbird on a PC, and, to free up space on Drive C:, I have moved the contents of the folder Thunderbird in Appdata to Drive D:. I then changed my Server Settings, in Thunderbird, from C: to D:, and note that any new mail is indeed now appearing there along with those already transferred. This move could save me a valuable 6 gig of space, and more in the future, however, I am unable to remove that original Thunderbird folder entirely, notably I am unable to remove the contents of the Profiles folder, as it is still linked to the application. Notably with cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, store.json, mozlz4, aborted-session-ping and many others, which I note some have continued to be updated. I have been unable to find any other settings in Thunderbird referring to Drive C:, other than those in Server Settings.

I could presume that if I installed another version of Thunderbird on Drive D: and maybe moved those existing contents of the Thunderbird folder on C: onto Drive D:, and made those numerous settings changes to the App it could work. But I ask is there an easier way to complete this move? How can I complete this transition of Thunderbird from Drive C: to Drive D:?

I would like to disable some built in hotkeys: for switching to the previous and next tabs (Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn), I want to rebind them to F6 and F7; for closing the current tab (Ctrl+W), I want to rebind it to F4; for duplicating the current tab (Ctrl+Shift+T), I want to rebind it to F8.

I've learned that you can do this by using autoconfig from here , but I don't know how to specifically setup the autoconfig file to find the right keyconfigs. Does anybody have a solution for this?

I uninstalled the browser app and reinstalled it, and now I'm having multiple set up issues:

The search ribbon is on the bottom of the sreen and I would love it back on the top where it belongs.

The searches keep travelling through google and not firefox, despite searching in firefox for things.

Ublock origin extension is not correctly blocking websites.

I'm not very good with or patient with computers, so these simple things seem difficult to fix

Hi, on my husband's laptop (but not mine!) when he does a Google search in Firefox, he sees the search text (e.g., "funny cat videos") in the address bar, not the URL for the Google search. He used to be able to copy the search URL to share it with people, but isn't able to do that anymore (except from the History section, which is a bit of a pain.)

I searched the Internet for solutions and someone suggested "Show search terms instead of URL on default search engine results page" in Settings, but I can't find that setting anywhere! Any pointers about either finding that setting or another way to get back to what he had before?

The attached image shows what he WANTS to see, instead of the search text. This works fine for me!

Thanks!

Hy, after the last update the emails I marked them with tags are no more in colors (title, sender etc...). I have no addons in my Thunderbird. I have tried suggested solutions I have read (restard in safe mode, clear cache, disable addons etc...).

Thank you for your help!!

so i updated firefox after 2 years of not updating it and now i have a annoyance to my eyes

before my update i would click on the search on the toolbar and either type out my search and hit enter or that i would just hit enter and go straight to google/ amazon/ blah blah what ever i had it set at the time.

after updating firefox i now have a annoying pop up that pulls up recent search in said search function of the toolbar. i have tried going into the options and every thing is turned off in the "search suggestions". i have looked into the about:config because after the update firefox started suggesting on my URL bar my recent viewed pages and bookmarks which always hated that function and had to turn it off again.

yet i cannot find a away to turn off the recent search. and sometimes it even tried to suggest places / recent events in the search toolbar.

also that clicking the search toolbar and just hitting enter no longer takes me directly to the search engine... it just does nothing now unless if i type something in.

any way of fixing this? or am i just going to have to jury rig using a old firefox again?

Hello, I can't restore my Firefox bookmarks, I made the mistake to update my Firefox blindly, as always, but it ruined-erased all my bookmarks, where did my hard work ended?, if I ever fix my bookmarks I will never do another update. I'm 77 and not able to follow your instructions; I wished I could restore all my bookmarks, now I wish I knew how to get some back, even if I have to do it one by one! Why there is no chat tool? maybe that way you could guide me better? Have a heart, please?

I cannot seem to find what it is called, but only web design related stuff to scrolling.

I'm looking to change the behavior of scrolling bar, that lets me click a point and the page stops at that point, whereas right now, it keeps scrolling to the end/top of the page (based on the direction relative to the starting point). I find the behavior pretty annoying and something that used to be done by the buttons on either end point.

Is this a relic of the past or can i opt-in to it through the config

Hi! I'm developing a web extension. I managed to install it via about:debugging "temporary extensions", and I can see the extension icon under the "puzzle button" in the toolbar.

I now want to pin it to the toolbar, it will save me a click when I'm trying to test things live.

When I click the puzzle button, there is no "pin to toolbar" option for the temporary extension, although I can see it for the extensions installed from the marketplace.

Is there a way to allow pinning for the extensions installed for debugging? Maybe an option in "about:config"?

Vielen Dank!
