For months, now, whenever I try to post a comment on a Yahoo! News article, it reads: "Your comment has failed to published." This only happens in Firefox. My "Privacy & Security" settings are set to "Standard," my "History" set to "use custom settings for history" with settings "Remember browsing and download history" and "Clear history when Firefox closes." so cookies and cache get cleared then.

Sometimes this works when starting a new session. But I shouldn't have to start another session and lose all of my logins just to post a comment on a Yahoo News article.

Anyone else having this problem? Is there an easy and permanent fix? What are you settings set at?

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue related to the Vanguard anti-cheat system used by Riot Games, specifically in relation to League of Legends. After installing the game and Vanguard, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to launch Firefox, nothing happens. However, if I change the name of the firefox.exe file, I can start Firefox on a different profile, but it only works for a short period before becoming unresponsive. None of the options or tabs respond after that.

Could you please provide assistance on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

Using TB 115.11.0 (32-bit) on a Windows 10 machine, with IMAP synchronization. Quite often (but not always) the synchronization of the inbox takes an extremely long time, Activity Manager showing "bringing folder inbox up to date" hanging in "downloading message 1 of ...".

I have made a Gecko IMAP:5 log and see (during this state) a pattern repeating every 2 minutes, ending in "idle mode async waiting". Then, after a long time suddenly the synchronization process finishes.

What can be wrong here?

I have used Thunderbird for years. I recently updated to version 115. I prefer the previous version. In 115, I cannot zoom a page simply with ctrl-+ without first going to the view menu. My two Outlook inboxes are sorted at the bottom of my list of favorites and they cannot be moved up with my other inboxes. I had no problems with the previous version. How can I get and reinstall that version?

When I open a message in my TB 115 Inbox, and wish to zoom in or out on the message using the keyboard commands for Zoom (Command+Plus, Command-Minus, Command-0), nothing happens.

I am running TB 115.3.1. My OS is Mac OS Monterey, 12.7.3

I have restarted TB 115 in Troubleshoot Mode, and the shortcuts still do not work. I have manually disabled all add-ons, and this has made no difference, either.

The only thing that works for zooming in or out on an email is to first use the drop-down menu for View -> Zoom. Then the Zoom keyboard shortcuts do work for that specific email. With each different email, the keyboard shortcuts for Zoom do not work, unless I first use the drop-down menu commands.

How do I get the keyboard shortcuts for Zoom to work without having to first use the drop-down menu?

Thanks,

Hi, All. I store older emails in subfolders by year within Local Folders, and I've specified that Thunderbird store Local Folders on a toggleable remote drive. The idea is that I will just toggle that remote drive on when I need to access Local Folders messages.

Thankfully, when I start Thunderbird with the remote drive off, Local Folders appears without any references to inbox or sent folders (since it can't find the drive), and also thankfully it doesn't throw any "Can't find drive x" error messages. When Thunderbird is open, and I turn the drive on, however, it does not display the remote Local Folders content.

Other than completely closing and reopening Thunderbird, is there a way to have it more easily load the Local Folders content when the drive is turned on - either automatically or manually?

Thank you

I believe that TBird in the past would show the count of the selected messages in the bar at the bottom. For example if I selected 10 messages in a folder for deletion it would show at the bottom how many were selected. If I selected a thousand it would show that number, and then when I hit delete it would show a progress of x number deleted of so many selected.

Now it no longer shows the number selected and during the delete process only occasionally flashes the x number deleted of the number selected.

I believe this is a bug in 115.11.1 It is occurring on two different PCs both running Win 10 Pro.

I had 115.2.2 installed and all was good. I upgraded last night to 115.7 and things seemed ok but I am now on the road at Atlanta airport and I can neither send nor receive email. In the lower left corner of the display it alternately is stuck on compuserve: connected to imap.AOL.com or my other server eberger35:connected to imap.comcast.net

If I try to send a message from either my compserve/AOL, or comcast, or gmail accounts I get this error message:

The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.comcast.net timed out. Try again.

If I try to send from the compuserve or gmail accounts the message will reflect that server SMTP has failed instead.

I think everything was working at home before I left, but I'm not sure if I checked mail after I upgraded. Perhaps the problem is the Atlanta airport Wifi, but I won't be at my destination till much later today and thought I would post this now in case someone has an answer. I will be able to get the reply on my iPhone. Thank you.

I can't do batch delete or move from the Inbox. It will only do one file at a time, despite the fact that several are highlighted.

It is also repeatedly trying to download a few thousand files to the Inbox. It gets to the number of files, then hangs, then starts to do it again (except each time it's fewer files to download). I don't know if the two problems are related.

A while ago my long-time hotmail account stopped working on two computer with windows 10 and one with windows 11. Last night, I looked up an article that said I have to use Oauth2 instead of normal pw. I made that change on the windows 11 machine and a popup occurred that wanted the number from the google authenticator on my phone. I gave it that and it checks mail now just fine.

This morning I went to one of the Windows 10 machines and did exactly the same. I tried some different server names online and tried some, but after a while I started getting a little window that asked my email address and pw. I put my hotmail address in and got this message:

Microsoft Accounts or personal email addresses don’t work here. Make sure you enter your work or school account (e.g. user@contoso.com). If you want to reset a Microsoft Account password, click here.

Now this is the very same hotmail email that worked on windows 11 with the same server settings last night. It still works.

Now, on the windows 10 machine with those same settings, I get the blank extra window. The extra window appears, does not populate, and disappeared.

It is: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access&login_hint=redacted@hotmail.com

I had no opportunity to do what worked on the windows 11 machine just last night. I cannot check mail on hotmail on this windows 10 pc. I took all the updates available to Thunderbird and firefox. TB is 115.11.1

I'm stopped. Why would it work on one pc and not another? Oauth2 on the windows 11 asked for authenticator. On the windows 10 it never asks.

I have had the same filters and folders for years. Now pretty much everything is not filtered when messages arrive, and when I do a manual "Run Filters on Folder" I get this message about many, maybe all, of my filters "The folder 'Newsletters' could not be found, so filter(s) associated with this folder will be disabled. Verify that the folder exists, and that filters point to a valid destination folder."

"Applying filter From is: dailybusinessreview@alm.com failed. Would you like to continue applying filters?"

When I try redoing the filter, filter dialog says it can't find the folder. I tried repairing the folder, no good.

Junk filters after years of learning, aren't working either.

Now what? TIA.
