I've been trying to add yahoo account for several weeks, I type in the email address on the add account function and then I just get a wheel of death and have to force shut the programme, I'm on windows 11.

Is it possible to open incoming mails in the same window as the list of e-mails, just like in Google? I get distracted from seeing suddenly my e-mail in another window/tab.

Thank you!!

As has been mentioned many times before I am sure, it would be really helpful to be able to have a less laborious way to add exceptions but as I have been through the ridiculous process of typing in site addresses manually one by one without having any sensible way to record these addresses already I guess it won't help me now. The ridiculous aspect came from having to take screen shots of the list of sites from the manage data list after deleting everything not wanted, scrolling down a windows worth at a time, copying that screen shot into multiple copies of a graphics program then shrinking each copy of the graphics program and Firefox so each can be seen so I can manually type each address across.

I know I am supposed to be nice but this is just insane. It is 2025. There is a thing called copy and paste. Apparently some people at Mozilla are not aware of this.

Having got that off my chest the next issue is that the deletion of cookies and data only occurs when Firefox is closed. Who closes Firefox? Why would you close Firefox? I currently have 24 tabs open. Why on earth would I want to close them down just so they have to be selected one at a time and reloaded? What is the thinking behind this stupidity?

The only time I close Firefox down is when Windows is restarted for updates (every application) or when IDM needs to update as I found this negates the need to restart Windows (Firefox only).

Other than those situations I am trying to work out how to fit this cookies/data deletion into the normal operation of my computer. There appears to be a lack of a suitable way to deal with this situation. Would it be considered acceptable to just wait for those times Firefox has to be closed? This would be far better than what I have been doing up to now but why wouldn't Firefox delete this data when the last tab for a site is closed? There are a huge number of sites I bring up due to searching for something and close them immediately or after reading what they have to say.

I have been using computers for about 30 years and have long lost the inclination and to be honest the ability to delve deep into them. Today I just want to have them do what I want/need without unnecessary complications.

Have I got this situation right or is there something I have missed? At the moment IDM has been having a lot of updates thanks to YouTube's greed but before that I found I generally only had to restart my computer for MS updates and when strange things started to happen.

Hello,

I have version 143.0.3 (aarch64), running on a 2020 M1 mac. I did an update recently but I still have all of my bookmarks, that's not the problem. The problem is, although the space for the bookmarks toolbar appears when I click "always show" (and disapears when I select "never show"), I see nothing. Nothing shows up in this space and so I have to go menu diving to get to my bookmarks. Do you have an idea how to fix this?

I’m having a really annoying issue with Mozilla Firefox on Android, but it only happens on YouTube’s mobile site (m.youtube.com).

The back and forward buttons don’t work properly there. For example, if I’m on the YouTube homepage and open a video, then from under that video I tap another suggested video — when I press the back button, instead of taking me back to the previous video, it jumps straight to the YouTube homepage.

The same thing happens if I search for something, open a video from the results, and then try to go back. It doesn’t return me to the search results — it just takes me to the homepage again.

The forward button has the same issue too — it skips everything and goes to the next home page in the history instead of the actual next page I visited.

This only noticed it on YouTube’s mobile site. I did not test other websites, but i didn't notice the back/forward navigation having any issue. There might be a issues or maybe they might work fine, i just didn't notice it so far.

So yeah, it looks like Firefox’s navigation history doesn’t handle YouTube’s pages correctly on mobile.

My Thunderbird was not finding messages that I could see were there.

I followed the advice here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database.

I deleted the (large) global-messages-db.sqlite (I have been using Thunderbird for a long time - and I am monthly contributor).

The rebuild gets to a certain point and then stops (as indicated by Tools Activity Manager). Always at the same point. I guess there is a bad message in there somewhere. But now I am worse off than before.

I tried rebuilding several times. I have also compacted the account folders of the account that stopped and then tried rebuilding.

I have many years of messages in there and I need a functioning search. What can I do?

Hello I deleted a lot of emails, and I am not sure if all my old emails have been completely deleted. When I go to open Thunderbird, after about a minute it will freeze up. I have 3 email accounts and I can only view one account but when I try to view another email account, it freezes up, and I have to exit. Before I deleted my emails it all worked great no problems. What did I do wrong and what can I do to get Thunderbird back to working like it use to ? Thanks a lot Sam

On all our computers it seems impossible to sign into Outlook...several laptops and 3 desktop...even a new Apple device. Enter your email address and then taken to the next page (see attachment). sign in works with Edge! This has been happening for maybe a month. Very frustrating! NEVER opens the next security window, the 'spots' just keep moving forever...selecting "Back" just repeats the cycle.

When I discover that I have already bookmarked a URL, I want to easily discover in which of my folder(s) I have saved the bookmark. In cases, the hosting site morphs the bookmarked URL with a redirect, so I am unable to discover the containing folder by browsing to the URL. Sigh. I would also like to discover situations where I have already bookmarked a single URL in several different folders.

I have downloaded the JSON for my bookmarks file and parsed the JSON. I now know that I have 7388 URLs bookmarked which are saved across 111 folders.

I am having trouble discovering the parent/child relationships between the various folders in which the bookmarks are saved. I have several situations where child folders have the same names and can be identified only when the child's parent folder is known.

Undated Firefox documentation at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../BookmarkTreeNode#parentid] suggests that each node in the bookmark tree should have a parentid and an index. I see an index but I do not see a parentid. I do see a GUID field. I have seen comments suggesting that parentid has been replaced by GUID.

But the values I see (GUID=FqNNI0k91ZjW, for example) do not make sense and have no connection to the ID fields (ID=2658, for example).

Can anyone help me make sense of the GUID values I am seeing? Are GUIDs now being hashed for some reason?

When I hit 'enter' in Firefox, the search request is deleted. i uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox but the problem persists.

Firefox 143.0.4 (64-bit) Mac OS 15.6.1 (24G90)

bold text i cannot see the new tabs since they are way too small now. Yesterday they were fine but now they are made for people with normal vision not half blind people like me. Your help button is totally useless and made for people that are programmers. NOT for normal people like me. I just cant see very well and shouldnt need to use a magnifier to read the tabs and seach bar along with my bookmark bar. I can see they web pages fine but I need to see the things above that. It was working fine yesterday but some idiot who doesnt with good vision who is ignorant about people without good vision

I have located the profile on an old computer and want to import it into TB on a new computer. I have copies the "mail" portion but I can't find away to import it into the tb on the new computer. How? Thank you, Paul Marrow

I have problems migrating my Windows 10 Thunderbird profile to a new computer running Linux.

On the new computer, I want to put the profile into a custom folder, not the standard folder (which would be /home/torben/.var/app/net.thunderbird.Thunderbird/.thunderbird in my case)

Here's what I did:

I installed Thunderbird 128.13.0esr under Fedora Linux 42 using flatpak.

Upon first startup, I aborted the mail account setup process

Opened Help/Troubleshooting information ... about:profiles

Create new profile ... Choose folder (I am translating everything from my German language version)

--> That's where an error message occurs: "/home/torben/.thunderbird not found ..." (interestingly, this folder simply does not exist (yes, I know how to view hidden files) although about:profiles also says that the "root folder" of the two already existing profiles default and default-esr is inside /home/torben/.thunderbird !?)

Nevertheless, in the profile assistant I can choose the folder (/home/torben/Dokumente/Gemeinsam/Documents/Briefe/Thunderbird_Profiles/tj63nudj.default) containing my migrated profile

The profile assistant tells me that my personal settings and data will be saved in /run/user/1000/doc/e9915464/tj63nudj.default (?)

After finishing the profile assistant, I can see the newly created profile in about:profiles, but it says "This profile is currently used by another application and therefore cannot be deleted" (what other application?)

I click "normal re-start" in the upper right corner of the about:profiles tab

After restarting, I open the about:profiles tab again. Now I can click on "run profile" under my newly created profile and Thunderbird opens a new window where everything works fine: All the migrated mails are there, I can log into my usual imap accounts etc.

I can close both windows, restart Thunderbird again and again and everything stays fine

BUT after some time (about 10 minutes) Thunderbird won't (re)start anymore and displays this error:

"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

The error persists after rebooting.

This error seems to be related to that whole manual migration process, because when I simply follow that mail account setup assistant after a clean re-install of Thunderbird, I can keep using the program without any issues (although the /home/torben/.thunderbird folder isn't created either) ...

Would be very grateful if someone had an idea how to solve this problem ... Thanks in advance!

Been trying to retrieve misplaced bookmark folders not bookmarks themselves in the Bookmarks Library with no success even going down several sub-levels; Would be nice if there were a search function, but will take a step-by-step solution. Thanks!

I accidentally discovered that dozens of email messages for a specific period of time (about a week) are still on my ISP's email server. Thunderbird is configured to download all messages to my computer and then delete them from the ISP email server.

Prior to, and since, that period of time (for many years) this has typically worked. Now, however, nothing I do to Thunderbird will get those messages downloaded - I can only access them using my ISP's webmail portal.

Based on web research, I've tried deleting the popstate.dat file and the global-messages-db.sqlite file to try to get Thunderbird to rebuild its indexes and/or POP3 databases to no avail. I've also tried to flag the messages as "unread" using the ISP's webmail portal, again, without success.

Any suggestions?
