Why do I ask a question in order to create an account here?

I wanted to respond to an existing question, but I couldn't do it without another question.

I tried to ask a new question, but not finishing, which allowed me to write an answer to the question, in fact, I was interested in. But when I tried to submit this response, the system informed me that my account has been inactive because I had not confirmed a question and proceeded to destroy the answer I spent 45 MINUTES writing.

Registration here seems to assume that everyone is a disabled user, ask for help and not someone trying to provide assistance or additional details about a problem. Maybe my experience just now has me jaded, but when you think of ways to describe it, I find the term "profoundly stupid because it deters the technically sophisticated users to actually answer the questions" inexorably comes to mind.

  • Why do I ask a question in order to register? It seems that this prevents Firefox users to be more involved. I am just wanting to answer a question

    It was much easier to get questions from Mozilla. I'm guessing that you were getting overwhelmed by the number of questions and you just want to stop the false issues. In my case, I wanted to just respond to a post on the "expired Document" message users get the arrow to the left. So I had to ask a question just to do this.

    Thanks for joining in.

    The typical use case is that users have a question. Registration has been moved in the middle of the process because some users could not even start when the inscription was the first step in the process.

    If you start with the support home page (https://support.mozilla.org/), there is a big button "Volunteer for Mozilla Support" under the product buttons, but if you came by a result of Google or another link, you have probably never seen that...

  • Why Thunderbird is "create a new account to get Satisfaction" when I want to ask a question

    I know I'm bad place talk about Thunderbird, but Mozilla is a name that I trust.
    When I want to ask a question in the site of Thunderbird, I had to make new account when I tried to post the question he is asked to make another account or use Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter.

    Because of this kind of fraud and fake everything, I started using the security of Mozilla products, but it seems I was mistaken.

    Just clarify why two accounts are required to ask a question?

    Thank you

    Currently support.mozilla.org is not a Thunderbird help section. Firefox, Firefox for Android, OS of Firefox and Webmaker are under the banner of support.mozilla.org .

    It has support for Thunderbird, as 2007 or 2008 Web site.

    https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-us/home

    I don't use Thunderbird myself and I never did support in his favor, so I can't answer your question on GetSatisfaction. But I know that Mozilla has used GetSatifaction for the Firefox support in the past and is currently using "social media" for the support to the army of the great campaign.

    As far as having to register at MozillaMessaging, none of the areas Mozilla share registration information. Addons.Mozilla.Org, the Addons Support forum, Bugzilla, SUMOand quality all require a separate registration and login. Mozilla Persona will unify this process in the near future.

    Another Thunderbird support forum is here.
    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=39
    MozillaZine for a date back to the time where the Mozilla Foundation was founded and served the semi - "official support" for one for all Mozilla programs until this current SUMO forum started.

    Many users of Firefox, SeaMonkey and Thunderbird long still use MozillaZine for any help or assistance there.

  • What is the latest version and how do I know what it is without having to ask this question?

    What is the latest version of Firefox and where can I find this information without having to ask this question. The reason why I need to know is that Firefox is unable to update for some reason any and it tells me to check and make sure I have the latest version. I have version 26 but don't know if it's the latest version.

  • Why am I asked to install the updates for xp in my vista machine?

    At the risk of sounding really stupid... I dare ask this question: Why am I being asked to install the xp updates in my vista machine?  Updates are automatically presented, and the installation failed... After reviewing the updates that failed to install I noticed that they were all updates of security for XP and not vista.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Dutchie16,

    Please contact the Forum of Microsoft Vista.

    I read the question and by doing some research on this subject I think the update that you mentioned (kb 917150) and not (17150 kb).

    I see that the update (kb 917150) is an update of security for office XP. This is an update to the office application and not for the operating system. We need to check two things:

    1 > we do not have Microsoft office Xp installed in the system.

    2 > we did an update from XP to Vista.

    If 1 is true then please download the stand-alone office Xp update pack and install it. If the 2nd case is true then let me know because we have a different approach to solve the problem.

    The link for the standalone pack for office Xp:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=266c287e-A773-4d9c-9736-eeafb34ff893

    Please do not respond and so I can help again the resolution does not help.

    Kind regards

  • How to connect to mozilla support to ask a question?

    I never had so many bad register to create an account (I have apparently finally got), or didn't have so much to find a place to ask a question. Whenever I try to connect using Mozilla asks me a password; Ok! I put in the SAME password I created to set up my Firefox Sync account. Obviously, it's not good, it doesn't work! I ask to have a password reset sent to my email address, but I get NO ANSWER - NEVER after multiple attempts. It is one of the most frustrating, aggravating, annoying sites (and I don't really write the real words, by that I expressed to my computer, my wife and anyone else who could almost!).

    Therefore, since apparently I have finally connected, (but I don't know how I did it), can you please answer two questions for me: 1) how can I publish one or the other answer, (since I can almost never connect), or post a new question? (2) do you have plans to support Mozilla like 99.99% of all websites on the web EASY for USERS to access to?

    Sign me up: frustrated!

    Yes, it's not even close to being of Mozilla. Looks like a third company, offering technical support and the price isn't bad either, for me at least.

    You can safely remove this email since it is even remotely related to Mozilla.

    You have any other question or I answered your questions?

  • Ask a question

    I can't ask a question in the support communities because my computer continuously backs up automatically.  If I try to remove the automatic record or retrieve the automatic backup, once I submit my question, I get a message saying "You are not allowed to create or update this content" WTH!

  • Need to post a reply to a thread, but I am obliged to ask a question?

    It is annoying that I have to work around a bug of registration by asking a question, when all I have to do is to establish and to take into account to answer.

    Login in way work continues to evolve. Some users have been frustrated by having to create an account before starting their question, but you are in the opposite position. Maybe we should have the possibility to register now or later?

  • First of all, much too darn hard to actually get to a zone forum or contact actually ask a question. Not everyone using FF is a programmer

    How should a user like me (been using ff for 7 years and more) 4 different pages to actually get one to ask a question? Seriously, IE has a better access to the support forums. Now on my real problem. I have a lot of seize up / crashing related to flash player 11, and even the latest version of flash (and yes I have uninstalled all older versions) read like a stale version. Not there at - there no way to get ff to actually work simultaneous flashing or am I just doomed to run chrome instead? Wouldn't a hardware problem because it is just ff (same IE works better at this point), but Acer Aspire 7741z with W7 (and yes I know it's an archaic system but specs are still up to current).

    Rather a longshot but if you think of the Flash problems can cause this
