Thunderbird Community Forum

My Thunderbird install updated from 140.13.0esr to 153.0.2esr yesterday and now I can no longer drag and drop any attachment from an email to any folder on my computer. I simply get an error message window with a title of "Error Moving File or Folder" with "Unspecified error" text. See image attachment.

I've tried a variety of folders, including Downloads, Documents, Pictures and other folders on local and external storage devices.

I can save the attachments using the Save All button, or by right-clicking a file and choosing Save As, but not by dragging and dropping as I have done so for years.

I have checked if Thunderbird is running in admin mode, which it is not, but have tested it both ways with the same problem occurring. I have also run Thunderbird in Troubleshoot mode, and the same thing occurs. I tried clearing the startup cache from the troubleshooting page with no change. Restarting the PC did not resolve the issue, and disabling my anti-virus(Avast) also did not make a difference to the issue.

Hello,

I have an issue while detaching an attachement under a directory that has is name on a network share "G:\03_AFFAIRES Ad & FI\"

When i detache a file inside this directory the link in Thunderbird is broke because it become "G:\03_AFFAIRES Ad "

It was working in the previous version of thunderbird ESR 140.x

When I get an attachment as a reply in an email it is with tmp file name. It cannot be opened because Thumberfird does not have a file association program, Using libre office with here I cannot find a file association either. Hoping for some help. Thanks in advance. PS. Should the questions be asked in English?
