Updating to the most recent [159.0 (64-bit)] update zapped my email account (gmail) settings. No, I haven't tried troubleshoot yet or re-entering all my IMAP settings. :) (I will when I can shoehorn the time.) My installation (64-bit) on the appropriate Windows version has had no problems for years, & updates have worked consistently (through both ap & OS updates, until this specific update.

My question right now is, has anyone else run into problems with this issue? I know it's not that much to go on, but I'm in a hurry & need to see if anyone else has experienced it.

TIA for any/all info. :)

I am using Firefox (.deb from mozilla, not snap) in ubuntu budgie 26.04. It used ~/.config/mozilla/firefox as its profile root but after I updated to 159.0.1~build1 and clicked on a link in Thunderbird it began to use ~/.mozilla. I closed firefox, renamed that .mozilla directory, and it recreated it. MOZ_LEGACY_HOME is not set, and XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.

Is it only me? Thanks for your time.

For various reasons related to password confusion I decided to delete an existing gmail account from Thunderbird 153.6.0esr 32-bit. I then tried to open it again using the existing email address (having done this many times before with no problem).

But I get stuck at this stage as I am waiting for a popup and nothing comes. I've tried deleting history and cookies, changing browsers, checking OAuth2, etc as suggested in various places, but still I get this spinning wheel going on and on.

Any suggestions?

Why do different emails come in at different magnifications? I get emails from a real estate agent that I have to do a control & + to zoom in on the email so I can read it normally. Why is there not a setting to have all emails at one "zoom" setting? It would be really helpful!! Especially for us older users. Also, when I add a folder to my email, why can't I add it to the list of folders already there by default? Right now I have to add the folder to the inbox and then drag it down to the other folders. When I do this they don't go alphabetically, they go to the bottom of the list. They should drop into alphabetical order. Thanks for your help.

Why doesn't Thunderbird clear the "newly downloaded" bit when archiving a message?

tl;dr: I'd like to argue that a user who executes the archive action has seen the email in question, and that executing this action means that the email is no longer "newly downloaded" and doesn't deserve the highest of visual markings anymore.

We're not talking about the read/unread bit here (the green dot and the grey numbers in the folder pane). We're talking about the "newly downloaded" aka. "new and unseen" bit (the yellow star/rhombus and the blue numbers in the folder pane).

When a new email arrives, it's marked as "newly downloaded" and the inbox lights up blue because of it. Fair enough. It's also unread, of course. I often archive emails right away without opening/reading them. But I have seen the subject line of course, and I have a pretty good idea of what the email is and why I don't read it. I have the message pane disabled, so I can easily select an email without it being displayed and being marked as read. In the past, I used the message pane combined with that "mark as read after 1min" setting.

Now when I archive the message, the archive folder lights up blue and when I go in there, the email that I just archived has a star/rhombus. But I don't want my archive folder to look interesting with a blue color only because I just moved an email into it. All the blue colors are supposed to be for things I haven't seen yet and still need to look at. In fact, any email I move to a place should not be able to make that place look blue. Blue color should be for things that appeared for other reasons.

I'm aware that switching folders (e.g. away from inbox and back to it) or restarting Thunderbird will clear this "newly downloaded" bit. But I'm not doing that. I stay in the inbox, I get emails, I read them or archive them immediately. And when a folder on the left lights up in blue (that can happen thanks to my filter rules), then I take a look at that one as well. My Thunderbird application runs for weeks.

I just updated to 159.0 TB seems to have a new annoying behavior. I have reproduced it on two different PCs.

I enter an address, then tab to the subject, and then the next tab should take me to the field where I can start typing my email. Instead it takes me to two horizontal blue lines just above that field. See image. The next tab takes me to the field where I can write. It's not a big problem but a new minor annoyance.

Thoughts? Am I missing something?

Was working well. Began trying to add profiles and could not seem to get that done. Gave up that attempt for now and thought all was well, until I went to send an email late Friday Nov 6, 26. Was challenged for SMTP password. None of the ones I tried seemed to work. The target SMTP machine is local, same subnet, postfix.

Using a backup Laptop as I feared my usual PC, Windows 10, might have been compromised and has been shutdown.

I'm at a loss. Other than change passwords on several machines, what are my options?

Hi,

I can’t open the admin panel of my own website in Firefox. When I go to the admin login page, Firefox shows a message saying the site is restricted and tells me to check my DNS settings, so I can’t log in. The site itself is online.

Website: Take Me Elsewhere https://takeme-elsewhere.co.uk/ Admin page: [your admin login URL, e.g. https://takeme-elsewhere.co.uk/admin]

The exact error Firefox shows: “[copy the full error message here]”

My setup:

Firefox version: [Menu > Help > About Firefox] Operating system: [e.g. Windows 11 / macOS] Internet connection: [home Wi-Fi / mobile hotspot / office network, plus ISP name] Recent changes: I recently tried moving the domain’s nameservers from Hostinger to Cloudflare and then switched them back.

What happens:

The public homepage [does / does not] load in Firefox. The admin login page shows the restricted/DNS error every time. The same admin page [works / doesn’t work] in Chrome and Edge on the same computer and network. [It works / doesn’t work] on my phone over mobile data.

What I’ve tried so far:

Reloading the page and restarting Firefox Clearing the cache and cookies for this site Opening the page in a private window: [result] [Anything else you tried]

My questions:

What does this “restricted, check your DNS” message mean in Firefox, and what triggers it? Could Firefox’s DNS over HTTPS setting be causing it, especially after my recent nameserver changes? Could an extension, a security setting or my network be blocking the admin page? What settings should I check or reset to log in to my admin panel in Firefox again?

Thanks for your help!

These usually fix it, so try them before posting:

Turn off DNS over HTTPS. In Firefox, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > DNS over HTTPS and set it to Off, then restart Firefox. This is the most common cause after a nameserver change, because Firefox’s DNS provider may still have the old Cloudflare records cached. Flush DNS on your computer. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run ipconfig /flushdns. Open the admin page in a private window or with extensions disabled. Ad blockers and security extensions sometimes block /admin pages. Try another network, like mobile hotspot. If it works there, your ISP or router’s DNS is blocking the page, not Firefox.

If one of these fixes it, you won’t need to post. If not, add what you tried to the “What I’ve tried” section so people don’t suggest the same steps.

I use HTML as my signature. It has been working just find, but lately when people reply to me, their messages were coming in blue text. So today I changed the: Settings > General > Plain Text Messages > Quoted text formatting from blue colour to black (I have no idea how that was set to blue in the first place). that is all I did. Image attached of the change I made.

In any case, after that, when I tried to send a new email my HTML signature no longer displays the correct font (Pristina) but shows only variable text. The HTML file is not corrupt, it still looks fine in the actual file I saved, but, Thunderbird is changing it somehow. Even when I look back at sent files, Thunderbird is showing me the variable text and not Pristina.

Any assistance would be much appreciated. With thanks, NM
