I used once entering about about:config to enable DOT setting in my android phone but have not yet completed network.trr.uri.Later on, tried to do it but cannot access using about:config any more. Please advise, as your recent online instruction allow windows laptop to set automatically using security and privacy to go to Https setting to enable it. Not so, for android devices, even using chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtmi, it does not go directly to enable Https setting. Any recent updates to do it. I understand that the restrictions are good to prevent most users and not developers to adjust the defaults. But why not making simpler only for most users to tweak or enable DOT setting, just like brave. Thank you for your understanding and attention. Regards Francis

Is there a way to hide the popup asking for support either permanently or for a longer period?

I fully get the need to ask for support, but this one pops up many times a day, which is just too much.

I have some websites that require pop-ups. I cannot get them to work in Firefox on my Android phone. Google searches reference a setting under "privacy and security" where I should be able to allow pop-ups in general or for certain URLs only, but I don't have that setting option.

I have Firefox version 139.4 if that helps.

Thanks in advance, Paul

Recently, after upgrading to 140, I noticed that text replacement on MacOS (Sequoia, here) seems to be functioning differently within Thunderbird; differently than in other apps I use.

What's happening is when I type a known shortcut, say "pr", the modal for the replacement pops up; if I continue typing my preferred word, the text replacement is simply inserted. I now otherwise have to press ESC to stop this. Before, I could ignore the pop-up modal and just keep typing -- that is what we expect in other apps, and this seems to be the case in Firefox (which I'm using now, and it works fine). This suggests there may be some change or difference in TB that is causing this unwanted behavior.

I do not see that there are any settings to change this -- but before I dig too deeply, I want to understand why this change was made and whether I have a choice or setting I can fix this -- or if it's a bug.


Thanks!

As of this morning (7-5-25), the app Firefox and only the Firefox app turns my entire phone screen grayscale when it is open in the foreground. The color transition takes about a second, and if I tab to another app or the home screen it takes about a second to transition back to full color. I cannot find any active grey scale settings in either my phone or the app. I have downloaded no extensions to my knowledge.

I generally avoid the updates. I've been burned a few times too many. So, I always check to see what is actually new. This 140 has two things I like, "Unload Tabs" and "Customize Overflow".

Unfortunately, "Customize Overflow" is missing the MOST IMPORTANT tool for this process. How do you REMOVE existing items that clutter and make a mess of the few tool I actually use.

Please fix and make this a fully useful tool.

Hi there! In one of my two e-mail accounts I manage with Thunderbird via IMAP, the archive options (where I would like to configure that the archived messages go into folders organized by year) are greyed out. See attached screenshot. (In the other account, these options are accessible.) The account in question is a google-based work account; is this related to the inaccessibility of the archiving options? Can this restriction be overcome? Thanks in advance. Tsepati
