My hard drive is going to have to be replaced, how do I move everything to a new hard drive. I pay my bills from folders I have added in 'Tbird so it is imperative that I move it all intact AND that I have access to all of it after I do manage to relocate it to a fresh hard drive. Thanks, God bless....Arthur Kelly

I am using T-bird on a Mac. I set up for a gmail account. I can send emails but do not receive replies, etc. I noticed there is no mail inbox for the account. Settings appear correct. Any thoughts? Thank you.

I have been dealing with this issue for the last several thunderbird versions. I am currently running 115.18.0

Everytime I try to configure an existing gmail account for thunderbird via File -> New -> Existing email account

I specify my Name and gmail email address, then password for the gmail account.

The google authentication pop up launches " Mozilla Thunderbird wants to access you Gmail" and I click "Allow"

As soon as I click "Allow" I am asked to download a file.

Google gemini says this file is a sign that Oauth is not being accepted by thunderbird.

What I have tried. I verified Thunderbird is set to accept cookies I have verified there are no previously stored gmail passwords (as this has never worked) I have changed my default browser from Firefox to Brave and verified the same behavior

please help, Thunderbird has never been able to connect to gmail when running on this Ubtuntu install.

So, from time to time I need to find a sent email, it is not in my sent folder, I check my settings and there it is, I then set it to use my sent folder on the IMAP server, this works for a while, but then seems the next time I want to find something in the sent folder it has reverted back. Any Thoughts?

bold textI do not remember ever having a Mozilla master password. Because I do not remember having a master password I do not have a recovery key. How can I find these if they do in fact exist/

I have Norton 360. I just reinstalled a brother printer and now I get the "Your browser is being managed by your organization". While I sync with my laptop, as others have said, I'm not an organization. There is an Enterprise policy .

Active Policy Name Policy Value ExtensionSettings {"firefoxhpsureclicksecurebrowsing@bromium.com":{"installation_mode":"blocked"},"firefoxhpwolfsecurityextension@bromium.com":{"install_url":"https://addons.bromium-online.com/wsx.xpi","installation_mode":"normal_installed"}}

I can't store or edit any bookmarks. How do I correct this? I need answers in very simple terms as I am very much a layman with computers. Thank You!

When my message filter uses the "Reply with Template" action, the reply e-mail is always PGP encrypted, even when I do not have any public key for the recipient e-mail address. As a result, the reply e-mail is always corrupted.

I am using Thunderbird 140.7.1esr on Windows 10.

I have attached a screenshot of what the reply e-mail always looks like.

In the Template that I am using, the "encrypt" button is not selected, and in the OpenPGP menu of the Template, the "Encrypt" menu item does not have a checkmark next to it.

Does anyone know how I can get Thunderbird to send reply e-mails without using encryption?

I am setting up Thunderbird on a Win10 machine, and am having a lot of trouble adding accounts that I did not have on the two Win11 machines I have set the same accounts up on.

When adding my 2 GMail accounts, after clicking "Allow" on the OAuth popup the button would go grey the window would stay open and not close, and the account would not be added.

Changing the general.useragent.compatMode.firefox option to TRUE allowed me to progress and finally add those accounts.

I am now having the same trouble with my @hotmail.com account. When I add the account, the dark blue OAuth window pops up, but is completely empty, and there is nothing more I can do.

Things I have tried

• Reverting the above config change
• Checking that cookies and JavaScript are enabled
• Checking there is no saved password
• Used both the Account Hub and the default dialog, with the same effect.

Thanks in advance!

I have a gpu rtx 50 and recently decided to use rtx super resolution to improve watching online videos but I can't make it work on firefox, I'm currently using the DEV Edition x64 latest version HW Acceleration is enabled and I also tried modifying via about:config the lines: media.peerconnection.video.use_rtx gfx.webrender.overlay-vp-super-resolution gfx.webrender.super-resolution.nvidia

It still doesn't work! tested in the other versions of firefox and it also did not work Using brave, chrome and edge..works normally without having to do anything. Does anyone know what it can be???

I have Updates set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" - but several times recently Firefox has blocked me from opening new windows with:

"Restart to Keep Using Firefox An update to Firefox started in the background. You'll need to restart to finish the update. Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not."

Why is Firefox starting to install updates WITHOUT my consent?

And how do I stop Firefox from doing this?

This might also belong under accessibility. Or how to organize the screen? At this point I cannot get some messages because there is no space left for it. This has happened gradually but now its impossible. I will attach a screen shot to show the problem. (I would have a tiny bit more room if I could get rid of that line of tags since they come on a dropdown anyway. Thank you so much,

How do I make Thunderbird the default app on my Android 14 phone? It is not in default apps or in the settings menu in Thunderbird on in Apps under the Android settings.

I do not understand how profiles work, and hence don't know how to fix my problem. I had a problem with my printer connection, and tried to solve it by rolling back my Linux O/S, (using Timeshift) to a date prior to the printer not connecting. (It didn't help.) But what it *did* do was to screw up my TB, which when I tried to open it, after the roll-back, complained that the TB profile was "newer", and I needed to create a new one. I did this, but then found that all my old emails had disappeared and it had started a complete new collection of emails, and all the mail folders had disappeared . I went back to the data backups from prior to the rollback, (using Cronopete), and was able to find the TB profile (and 5 years' worth of old emails) in the .Thunderbird folder in the Home directory. And I have pursued the profile manager in TB, and located the profile from before my roll-back. But I can't figure out how to recover this old one. I have a button "Set as Default", (I hesitated to commit to this - should I?), and another for "Launch Profile". But when I click on this last, it drops right back into the requirement to create a new profile. I already have one new profile, (which was created when I tried to sign on to TB after the roll-back.) I can't see much point in making yet another one. And I don't really understand how the data are stored in the profile in any case. (emails seem to be in a Mail folder, but are scattered about in a whole series of sub-folders and files within the Mail folder). And some of the numbered "profiles" seem to refer to things other than Thuderbird, (they lack any folder named "Mail".)

My junk email has increased dramatically lately. I'm sure it's just life on the internet but I'm trying to figure out if clicking "unsubscribe" actually does anything. I've been putting all the emails that I click "unsubscribe" into a separate folder. I'd like to sort the folder by the email address of the sender. However, when you click on the "from" selection in the message window it gives you the entire entry that the sender put in the send section. In other words I see "The Scary Law, Thomas T. from NFE <daily@today.newfinanceera.com>". Is there a way to get a column that just shows the "<daily@today.newfinanceera.com>" so I can sort on that item?
