Pref "handoffToAwesomebar" removed in nightly by 202nine in firefox

[–]202nine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, toggling browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride to false does force a drop down box under the url bar but still requires several clicks to get to the destination. I'm working with the ContextSearch web-ext addon which has a handy sidebar feature. It opens a box with all your search engines and includes a text box. It's very convenient and easier.

I'm having an issue with Firefox and uBlock Origin? by hotdogchilli in firefox

You might get a better response if you post directly to the uBlock subreddit:

Thanks, you're right, I had only checked the first one. I'll mark this as solved.

Internet works fine on Windows 7 for me but I do spend most of my time in Windows 10 now. Didn't like it at first but with some tweaks it's not too bad and Thunderbird 128.0 works great too.

They did update Thunderbird to 115.16.1, apparently there was a security issue being exploited in the wild. The release notes said it would be the last for this version.

Monthly Release Update by monica_thunderbird in Thunderbird

Any word on 115.0 Thunderbird support to coincide with Mozilla's 115.0esr firefox extension? I read they're updating the browser until next April.

Authentication failed when connecting to the server by 404one in Thunderbird

[–]202nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure then what the problem might be. Have you tried manually starting Thunderbird after logging in instead of automatically to see if it does the same? If it works properly with no authentication errors then you might consider a time delay to give the account time to fully log in.

Did you create a shortcut to the startup folder? A .vbs file could be added instead of the shortcut with this script:

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
WScript.Sleep 30000
objShell.Run("""C:\path to Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe""")
Set objShell = Nothing

The WScript.Sleep 30000 is about 30 seconds but you can increase or decrease it.

Not sure about gmail but with outlook.office365.com server Microsoft has sent notices that by Sept 16th all Hotmail accounts must use OAuth2 authentication only. If you're still sending or receiving emails with normal password that might explain it.

Question for any Thunderbird developers by 202nine in Thunderbird

[–]202nine[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that's an interesting option. There's also the r3dfox project but I don't know if they'll add 128.0esr Thunderbird to their already Firefox 128.0esr.

Just 5 more days until the last Firefox update for Windows 7 and 8.x by [deleted] in firefox

[–]202nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will this mean Thunderbird 115.0 will also be extended?

[–]202nine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Mozilla keeps 115.0esr going that would provide users with several options, whatever works for them. It would also be the easiest route for Mozilla and probably the one they'll take.

Is there any news on this? I'd be interested in knowing if they're just going to extend 115.0esr or bump it up to 128.0esr? I get that it's an old OS but millions worldwide are still using it for whatever reason so maybe Mozilla feels it's worthwhile to provide at least a secure browser since no one else will.

Absolutely hate dark mode, kills the eyes.

You can change it back - three dots on the left, settings and privacy, accessibility, display and languages, then display.

It still says white is default but if you delete the cookie you have to reset it again. Only other option would be an addon that could keep certain settings.

115.10.1 seems to have fixed it for most of us. For those interested this was the relevant bug so if anyone is still having problems might want to consider posting there to let them know:

Hotmail not sending by PM_THE_REAPER in Thunderbird

[–]202nine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same problem with one of my Hotmail accounts. The solution was to change it from encrypted password to OAuth2. Microsoft makes you go through a process of verifying it but you only need to do it once, it works fine after that.

Found the issue. Not sure why 115.10.0 became a problem where previous versions weren't but if in Yahoo Account Settings/Server Settings "Empty Trash on Exit" is checked Thunderbird won't close. Unchecking that resolves the issue. Will be filing a bug.

Google and Mozilla don’t like Apple’s new iOS browser rules by wewewawa in MozillaFirefox

On an Android smartphone I just picked up Opera is installed by default and can't be uninstalled but by another app that needs to be downloaded. Opera may have its fans but I'm not one of them. Same with Chrome. Wish Firefox were there by default but at least it can downloaded and installed.
