AskWoody LoungerInteresting. Yes, I’m not a Plus member. Same message for me on a test.
It’s been months since I last used DM/PM and hadn’t noticed that it now is limited to Plus-ers. -

AskWoody LoungerThank you, DG. I don’t use extensions so I don’t know how they exhibit.

AskWoody LoungerI wonder: Is it possible that the ‘faded icons’ really are the icons on the Desktop, but seen through the semi-transparent-semi-opaque top of the FF page?
To test this, either minimize FF; or do a ‘Restore Down’ – the middle stacked boxes just to the left of the “Red-X” in the top-right corner. These background faded icons should now appear in their full glory. And they really are Program Icons!Also play with the settings at: Tools > Add-ons and Themes > Themes
For Website appearance (not this problem) also see at:
Tools > Settings > General > [in 2nd main section down] ‘Website appearance’.1 user thanked author for this post.

AskWoody LoungerI’m not familiar with “program icons”.
Perhaps are these website icons, in the Bookmarks Toolbar?
If so –
Long way (this is on FF 100, but 104 should be same/similar) –
> ‘Hamburger proxy’ [upper right corner]
> More tools
> Customize toolbar …
> [bottom left corner] Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar
(While you’re in this neighborhood, play with other settings?)Medium way
Alt+V > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar > Always Show
(And I always have Menu Bar selected.)Short way

AskWoody LoungerJuly 30, 2022 at 12:59 am in reply to: Thunderbird automatic “I’ll be away” replies: how to set them up? #2466701Fundamental consideration –
In order for TB to do a reply:
a) your computer will be on the entire time you are gone*, and
b) TB will be Open, and each email account has to be set automatically to ‘Check for new messages every [x] minutes’.
* – IF the computer should go dark, is there someone who will boot it again?I haven’t tried this, but it may be possible to create a Filter to accomplish this.
Filter Rules:
– Match all messages
– Perform these actions: Reply with Template
— where the Template is your “I’m away” message.Alternative, guaranteed to work —
Using your email account Webmail access via a browser, set up the “I’m away” message. Just where you get to this setting depends upon your mail service. { me@service.com }
Remember that if you have multiple email accounts that each account has to be so set.1 user thanked author for this post.

6. HUAWEI OR THE HIGHWAY: “FBI investigation determined Chinese-made Huawei equipment could disrupt US nuclear arsenal communications,” by CNN’s Katie Bo Lillis: “Among the most alarming things the FBI uncovered pertains to Chinese-made Huawei equipment atop cell towers near US military bases in the rural Midwest. … [T]he FBI determined the equipment was capable of capturing and disrupting highly restricted Defense Department communications, including those used by US Strategic Command, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapons.”

AskWoody LoungerDon’t know about your printer, but —
On our wireless phone handset: rapid taps – not a continual press.
Thus: the ‘2’ key has ABC (vertically) on it.
To get [ B ], tap-tap (2 rapid taps).
(Another key switches case: Upper <–> lower. Probably n/a on your printer.) -

AskWoody LoungerJuly 15, 2022 at 4:04 pm in reply to: It looks as if Microsoft could extend Windows 7 Support for another three years #2461086Just curious:
Is this ‘false positive’ on “by” specifically, in any context;
so that “bye”, or “bygone”, or “Byzantine” all would trigger?
Also, is it case sensitive? So “Byzantine” would be OK? -
