Since updating Firefox from a previous version, the browser no longer displays any Unicode emoji characters. Where an emoji would normally be rendered (👁️), the browser instead displays empty space. Websites such as twitter and discord, which use their own artwork for emoji, are unaffected. This has negatively affected my browsing experience.

For illustrative purposes, I will add a series of emoji and include a screenshot of how they are displayed: (😀🙁😡💀). Other characters still display correctly: (β❖♞䷲⎈𐘢𓀺இ). My computer otherwise displays emoji correctly. The issue persists after disabling extensions, and has persisted between computer restarts.

I'm running Linux (NixOS) and Firefox version 148. I've tested on Chrome based browsers and they work fine. Tested on Firefox forks and they also don't display correctly. This is new since less than a week ago.

Thanks for any help with this.

How to recover backup from TBird 145.0-1 in new 140.7.1?

My old Arch Linux system with Thunderbird 145.0-1-x86_64 died. My RasPi and my new Pop-OS Meerkat both get 140.7.1esr (aarch64), and say they can't import my backups. I could see the RasPi ARM system getting a different Thunderbird, but the Meerkat is clearly an Intel processor. Why does it get the same version as the ARM based Pi? How can I recover my years of mail history? Both new installations say they are incompatible!

Thunderbird 147.0 (64-bit) OS: Linux; Fedora 43 Settings:

This situation started happening about a week ago. I created a new user and had no problem sending email from the same default account. I can also connect to smtp.gmail.com using telnet, port 465. Something is presumably corrupted. I have had this account for many, many years, so I have accumulated many filters and other data.

I get why the domain is highlighted, and it's good! But the rest of the URL can be hard to read, especially with dark themes (see screenshot, taken of this page's URL bar, using the default Dark theme). I have tried to find a dark theme with better contrast, but haven't had any success.

Is there a setting that I can change to set the font colors or contrast between them?

Hi, somehow thunderbird forced me to use OAuth for caldav and carddav. (v140 on linux) Unless I've probably missed something this approach doesn't seem to have considered that people might use more than one device. In the past I had an application password per device with my mail provider. That password covered imap, smtp, caldav and carddav. The application password I could set with a specific name at my mail provider. If the device was lost, compromised or whatever I just deleted that one application password at my mail provider, problem solved. Now a regular thunderbird setup has the application password for mail and 2 OAuth records per device under "Connected Apps" at my mail provider. But it is not possible to see anymore to which device the OAuth record belong, as there is nothing device specific coming along with these OAuth records, just an IP. With that perspective OAuth weakened my security options, as I can only guess which OAuth record I have to delete in an emergency case. Did anyone who implemented that with Thunderbird considered that people may have more than 1 device? Maybe even more than 5 devices? That OAuth approach looks unmanagable to me. Is there a way to switch OAuth off in thunderbird, until it becomes more useable in >1 device setups?

Operating system: ubuntu 24.04. Thunderbird version 148 snap. Since the latest update, whenever a reminder appears onscreen it is squashed up into a square instead of a letter-slit oblong and is difficult to get rid of. Klicking on the close button has no effect and while klicking on X temporarily removes it, it comes back in a matter of minutes.What is happening and how can I stop this?

Lost all history after account sign-in - how to get it back?

I have a machine I've been using for months and haven't got around to archiving the history and tabs for some research I was doing. I realized this could be problematic if anything happened to the machine, so I decided to sign-in to my Mozilla/Firefox account I made years ago, so it would be safely sync'd.

Everything was fine at first, it showed it was syncing and whatnot, but then after several minutes, Firefox crashed. Upon relaunching, ALL of my history is gone! Neither signed-in nor signed-out shows any history at all, except the searches I've done just now trying to undo this mess. Did I really just loose months of history due to some bug or is there a way I can manually restore or see it from the mess of cache/profile files on my machine?

Ubuntu user, so will be at ~/ or similar for most things I assume.

Some videos work perfectly fine, however for some videos audio lags behind the video. The same video file perfectly works in Chromium as a control test. Example file is MP4, inside was initially h264 video with AAC audio, for test I re-encoded video to be svt-AV1 with AAC / flac as well - no difference, audio still lags behind. Local players (mpv) and Chromium works perfectly. No plugins which can affect it - for testing disabled them all. I really try hard to like Firefox but this thing is a real bummer. Any ideas what can be causing? P.S. I tested both firefox compiled from source and binary package provided by my distro. Linux system if that matters.

I am using internet server provider www. namespro.ca server settings for my email account set up with Thunderbird mail and the email account will not set up properly. I currently have (1) domain name "realestateX.com with www. namespro.ca and I am attempting to set the email accounts using Thunderbird Mail on a desktop CPU. The email accounts will NOT set up with ThunderBird Mail with this domain name, 'realestatex.com.' On the other hand, the same domain name email account were succcesfully set up on OUTLOOK using the same www. namespro.ca server settings with success, they work properly in and out

Back to the Desktop CPU and my Thunderbird Mail program; I have another email account set in with another domain email account realestatex.net with a completely different internet server provider www. webnames.ca and that email works fine in and out and the set up without an issue

Back to namespro.ca their server settings work fine with MS 365 OUTLOOK email set up on my DELL laptop. However the server setting from namespro.ca will not work on the desktop and laptop, The laptop set up is using a MOZILLA Thunderbird Account Hub and stated their is an "authentication error because of a policy violation relating to the refused connection from the IP" . Would namepro.ca IP connection refusing my thunderbird mail account to syne with namespro.ca? any insight would be helpful, appreciate your time

My work email provider, which hosts about 30 individual email accounts, returns the following when queried for quota:

a GETQUOTAROOT INBOX

QUOTAROOT INBOX Mailbox "cPanel Account" QUOTA Mailbox (STORAGE 1198939 2097152) QUOTA "cPanel Account" (STORAGE 24913212 26214400)

"Mailbox" is the individual account (at about 50% usage) here and "cPanel Account" is the whole server (at about 95%).

Thunderbird receives that data then uses the last one received for it's display (the overall server quota) which is confusing for users who expect to see their individual quota.

Is there any way I can either:

  • tell Thunderbird to use the first QUOTA value ("Mailbox)
  • intercept that response and strip out the "cPanel Account" entry before Thunderbird UI sees it

I can't get the response from the mail provider changed, I've already asked that.

Thanks, Dave.

I have this issue with my reminders for peoples' birthdays. I have an event on their birthday that comes from my Google contacts. That event has a reminder 1 week in advance. When the 1-week mark hits, I get an undismissable notification from Thunderbird. I can close the reminder window, but it'll show back up within a minute or two. I've tried removing and re-adding this calendar but it doesn't matter. When I look at the details for the event, I see that the Organizer field is Unknown Organizer <unknownorganizer@calendar.google.com>. My regular email address is listed as an attendee. This has been happening for at least the last several months, perhaps more than a year.
