Every time I open Thunderbird, I am being prompted to enter my icloud ID and password for the icloud calendar sync function. I enter the credentials and everything seems OK - until I close Thunderbird and then open it again. I am using an app specific password and my correct ID. What is wrong?

I'm attempting to sync my account between a Windows host and a Linux host. Logging into my account on Linux brings up a "Authorize this sign-in" window that demands entry of a 7-char "Authorization Code" (not the same as a six-digit authentication code) which is emailed to me. After entering the authorization code, a window appears stating "Bad request - Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." This happens consistently, and only on the Linux host. Firefox 134.0.2 mint-001 1.0. Linux Mint 22.1. Any ideas about what went wrong?

The security sequence for log-in is supply of user-id and then password; that works fine; then a send unique code dialogue pops up and it leads to an error screen which I am attaching. I have rung the number provided and they say they don't support Firefox; so that looks like end of Firefox use to me and goodbye (can't find a tearful emoji to insert).

Gotta say this kind of thing is happening quite frequently for me; mostly without a nice error screen like this one; last one I recall was hunting for car insurance; on the screen where it listed the billions of quotes to eager providers none of the links to click through for the quotes worked... and with this happeneing more frequently now you go... ohh it's firefox again isn't it... so you reluctantly fire up Google Chrome and of course it works OK.

So I'm kinda here with a broader outlook than just this specific problem; I really am on the verge of giving up with Firefox; it should just work shouldn't it; and it increasingly doesn't anymore; I don't want to get into an extended and convoluted dialogue to help you cure this issue; I'm simply perplexed that some really basic stuff doesn't work anymore; however; I've used Firefox for centuries so thought I should give you at least a chance so I could declare how I feel etc.

I am up for a dialogue over this and hoping this is an easy fix; but; as I say; I'm confused as to why, for me, Firefox just simply doesn't work well anymore; it just should and I shouldn't be here.

I have several Google accounts. For each one, the first time I checked my mail, I got a Thunderbird pop up saying "See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar" and another Thunderbird pop-up saying "See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts", followed by two "Mozilla Thunderbird Email was granted access to your Google Account" emails to each account.

And for all accounts but one, that was the end of it. But for one account, for some reason, I have to go through the whole authorization process again each time I start Thunderbird. I tried deleting the account, and Thunderbird still made me go through the whole authorization process -- for an account that no longer existed!

I re-created the account. No change.

Any idea what the problem is? It started after a Thunderbird update.

Not saving passwords

On an old Windows 7 Pro (SP1) 32 bit workstation (with .Net 4.8), I recently updated from Thunderbird 45.1.0 to version 115.18.0 (most recent for Windows 7). The update worked fine, but afterwards the new version is not saving passwords. While entering a password every time is possible, I have 7 email accounts and that gets tedious. I can't keep TB open as it uses a lot more memory than the older version, so either I get this fixed or I have to use other software.

I have not set up a master password because it won't even save that. When I enter a password (for email login) without asking it to save it, the login works and email works fine; but if I ask it to save the password, the login does not work and it errors out. This could be simply a timeout trying to save the password, so the main thing is to resolve why TB is not able to save any passwords.

Thanks for your time and help.

Have installed Thunderbird on an IMAC computer. From day one Thunderbird has been slow to open. Message box appears asking me to enter Login password. Sometimes doesn't accept password. Have to retype password again.

Without warning, password rejected. My internet provider, Uniserve, gave me a temporary password for Thunderbird. Created a new password for Uniserve Webmail and Thunderbird. Worked for a while. No problem receiving and sending e-mails.

This morning my new Thunderbird password is being rejected.

What could be the problem?

Dear Sir/Madam, I was advised on your Firefox browser that my main username and password required updating, and after executing the update, I realized that I have lost all of my saved usernames and passwords. Consequently, I am using this medium to obtain your assistance on how I should proceed in order to recover all my saved user names and passwords that I had saved in your Firefox browser. A timely response would be greatly appreciated, as the absence of ability to assess my saved usernames and passwords significantly affects my use of your browser. Best regards, Volney Boswell
