I'm able to add an e-mail account but when I go to add a second e-mail account, when it looks up the information, it just hangs with the circle going around.

This is true for two different user accounts on the same computer.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird but it didn't help.

Thunderbird can't be exited without killing from the task manager or shutting down.

Sadly Thunderbird often hangs, particularly if a network disk goes down. It is a strange hang, with the Inbox shown when hovering the task bar, but selecting it does not open the window. I have been observing this for perhaps 6 months.

In the past, it was sometimes possible to Close Window, else End Task, but neither have any effect. It seems that End Task is disabled.

Consequentky when Thunderbird hangs, the only way to restore Thunderbird functionality is to tidily close all other applications, restart Windows, which fails, hold power button for 5 seconds, then manually start again.

Why isn't Thunderbird killable?

I've always experience occasional TB crashes. According to my log history there was 1 in July, 3 in Aug, 2 in Sep, 2 in Oct, and 6 in Nov. I never really paid attention since the reboot was quick. But now in December I am losing work and it is a major problem. I've had 30 crashes in Dec and 21 in the past week. I have only 3 add ons and they have not changed, and a Copernic connector. I disable the Copernic connector and it didn't help. I have the same 140.6 on my Surface Go with the same add ons, except for Copernic and it runs fine. On both PCs I use Malewarebytes and WinDef. I have put exclusions for them in their setups. Even with MBAM completely disabled I've still had crashes.

I cleared the Cache and no help. I've even had occasional crashes in Troubleshooting mode. Here are my last 5 crash IDs

bp-070bf941-4e8b-41a3-8b84-3e3440251224 bp-a936f7c2-9ee3-4c38-b304-dab830251224 bp-8be9cf9e-8f2f-49bb-95cf-47e780251224 bp-12f8fc2c-c505-40f0-8c67-44b730251224 bp-9013fb78-086c-4327-9de8-62db30251223

Interestingly I’m also experiencing crashes with Firefox, especially ChatGPT. I cleared the ChatGPT history and that helped but did not solve the problem. I cleared the Firefox cache and in troubleshoot mode still have issues.

Otherwise my win11 PC seems to be working fine. I’ve run chkdsk and all is ok. Also scannow is ok.

Is my next step a profile rebuild?

Hi,

At some point in the last couple of weeks, I've started running into very frequent crashes running Firefox in the Linux container on my Chromebook. It previously worked well, but is now unusable. I'm now running Firefox version 147.0.3 on Chrome version 144.0.7559.167. This is after I did a clean reinstall of Firefox using flatpak, which didn't help. It seems like it often happens when my mouse hovers over a browser tab or icon (eg account, extensions, hamburger). Other quirky display behaviour, which mayor may not related, is that videos are often not working (eg Youtube, BBC), and various browser windows (eg when selecting Manage Bookmarks, or restarting in safe mode), open a small size-reduced window. Latest crash reports below -

bp-79d9b303-4402-455b-b49b-bbc1e0260209 bp-58276587-1315-4431-beba-4d9230260209 bp-0f499a5f-34e7-4a1d-8789-e8dc80260209 bp-a2ccec4c-087d-4e39-8af6-cbb740260209 bp-59770723-c637-4689-ae2f-a203f0260209

Thanks for any suggestions.

My Thunderbird crash whenever I tried to "save as" an email, save the attachment of an email, attach a file to an outgoing email.

Every time I did the mentioned, Thunderbird prompts the normal window of my laptop's folders, but it disappear in a second with the Thunderbird crash and quit.

This situation happened after I installed MS365 on my laptop.

I did try the below: 1. Reset attachment directory - mail.compose.attach.dir 2. Run in trouble shooting mode 3. Repair folder index 4. Clear cache

I became a THunderbird user recently to help me transfer e-mails from one system (e-mails sent to my e-mail address being collected by Gmail using POP3) - I have a gmail.com address too which shows all the e-mails in the same Inbox. Google are withdrawing support for Pop3. I am moving to Hostinger which happily collects and displays all my emails on its Webmail service. Thunderbird is a great tool for moving e-mails fro Inbox (and al other folders) from the Gmail to Hostinger. But yesterday it crashed and wouldn't restart = white windows says at the top 'not responding = and Windows Task Manager shows me Thunderbird still seems to be talking to one of my accounts and has 6 other tasks open. I stopped those tasks and closed Task Manager. I have uninstalled and re-installed but it comes back with the same symptoms and same tasks running. How do I stop this and get it back properly again

I've been using Firefox on Linux since it was Nautilus. Currently running EasyOS Linux Daedalus and Excalibur on different Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny Core i3-8100t boxes and different drives: A good Samsung SSD and two good flashdrives. 32G new RAM installed on each box. I've been using these boxes for over a year. For the last month or so, ever since updating to v. 146 my tabs have been crashing like crazy! I don't normally have more than 10 tabs open at once. But now, as soon as I open a 5th tab it crashes.

I'm running Top to watch CPU and RAM usage. I see nothing unusual. I've rebooted. Disabled all add-ons and run in Troubleshoot mode. Tabs still crash. My only add-ons are uBlock Origin, Temporary Containers and Dark Mode. It happens whether I have hardware acceleration turned on or off. I don't know what else to try. Here are my most recent crash reports. I hope you can figure out the problem. Thank you so much!

Lately my Firefox app window will just randomly close while I'm using it. I notice most often on Facebook, but that's because it's the most often used page.

When I reopen the app, it's like I just opened it, not like it got minimized.

What's wrong with it? I have it updated to current version, as well as I've run malware and virus scans to see if it's my phone. Nothing found.

I have Thunderbird 146.0.1 on a Win11 system, using POP. This setup has been in place from Windows 7, apart from the Thunderbird client version, and has worked up till the end of 2025. About October last year, I opened Thunderbird, and whenever I selected an email, or a number of emails, Thunderbird seems to get stuck trying to process something. The moving blue bar on the bottom right hand side of Thunderbird shows activity, but never stops. Taskmanager shows that Thunderbird is running, and that something is happening, but I cannot do anything with Thunderbird. I can only shutdown Thunderbird using Taskmanager. I have Norton AV installed, but I have turned it off, and the problem persists. I have removed all the emails from my inbox, and moved them to local files, and the problem persists. I have deleted and recreated my profile, and the problem persists. I have deleted the Thunderbird client and reinstalled it, and the problem persists. It doesn't matter if I select one, or twenty, emails, Thunderbird gets locked whilst processing something, and the problem persists. There is no issue with my Email provider, as I have checked using a webmail client. Emails are being processed and delivered from my email provider, and are received by Thunderbird. I would appreciate any suggestions as to the cause, or more importantly, a possible remedy. I have successfully used Thunderbird for many years, and I actively support them, so I am very keen to resolve this problem. Thank you in anticipation.
