I am unable to send email from Thunderbird. I've checked the SMTP settings and reset the email password. I am able to use the provider's web based email client to send. The ISP and email domain are both ptd.net (PennTeleData). It's running Windows 11 and the only security on the machine is Windows Security. I turned security off but that did not help. The Thunderbird is v. 140.7.1esr (64 bit).

When I try to exit the fire fox browser I delete all cookies then select exit and close it out. However when start my computer the next time I get a message that fire fox is already running and if I hit the cancel button it freezes the screen and I have no options to move on. So how should you do a normal shutdown off the browser?

Hi All, this question seems to come up on various forums, but I cannot find a definitive answer.

We run the Enterprise version of FF (140.7.0esr (32-bit)), the product installs and includes the scheduled task that checks for updates at a regular interval. This works, but the update only ever seems to be applied once the browser is launched.

According to the documentation there is the following setting:

Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\AppAutoUpdate = 0x1 | 0x0

  • If set to true, application updates are installed without user approval within Firefox.
  • If set to false, application updates are downloaded but the user can choose when to install the update.

We have a number of users that do not frequently open FF and therefore our reporting shows that they are running an out of date version of the browser.

Has anyone managed to get this auto update mechanism to work without opening the browser? Is it even possible?

Thanks

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!

I'm presently running TB 147.1esr on a Windows 11 system. I have archived mail by years (2020, 2021, etc.) on an IMAP server and I have defined a Local Folders entry. I want to move some archived years off the server onto the local folders. What is the best way to do this? I searched for documentation, but couldn't find an article on that subject.

Thunderbird Account

Hello, I have two microsoft email addresses linked to Thunderbird, one @hotmail.com and one @outlook.com. I have been using Thunderbird with them both fine for some time. Recently, the outlook.com account has stopped sending emails via Thunderbird. As far as I can tell, this was out of nowhere, and I hadn't changed any settings. It still receives emails.

Both accounts use the same SMTP information, and the hotmail.com continues to work with those details.

I have tried changing the settings and even deleting and readding the account but it hasn't fixed it. I have also checked the outlook account is still IMAP and POP enabled and it is.

When I do try and send an email, I am told: "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username bufflehead_mike@outlook.com failed. with options to Retry, Enter New Password (which loads a new window briefly but then disappears) and Cancel."

When I cancel, I get this message: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com timed out. Try again."

My server settings, on both accounts, are: smtp.office365.com Port 587 STARTTLS OAuth2 And the user name matches the email.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong, and how I could fix it? Thank you!
