This is an annoyance rather than an issue.

I run Thunderbird as my email and I archive old mail to local folders, which I want to sync to Dropbox.

This works fine, and I have a suitable set of .MSF files (over 100, 000) synced to Dropbox.

BUT. Every now and then (not sure how often, I see dropbox is syncing ALL my thunderbird files, even if they have not been changed.

Can anyone explain how Dropbox determines when to sync?

Is it possible that for some reason Thunderbird does something to the files (for no apparent reason)?

I have also asked the Dropbox forum what is the trigger for a file to be updated in Dropbox.

Thanks, Paul

I have selected Duck Duck Go as my default search engine in the settings for Firefox. But when I open my Firefox browser it shows the MS Bing homepage and NO drop down box for other search engines. How can I fix this? This is an initial installation of Firefox on a new Acer Aspire computer running Windows 11.

URGENT Version 142 for Windows 64bit is unstable. It freezes over after almost any action with usual Windows "Not Responding" message. Recommendation to Mozilla: Pull back this release and roll back to 141

Every time I open Firefox Nightly it opens Google Play Store to get me to rate the app.

This is a usability nightmare.

It asked me to rate the app originally and I pressed whatever the 'not just now' option was.

Now I get taken to the Google Play Store every time I launch Firefox Nightly. I cannot find any setting to revert this, and have no intention of leaving a review.

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.

I did use yahoo email for long time but now I want to switch to g mail address for my own protection and will keep my home address and will use my personal information as is not further changes.

I am using Thunderbird and Firefox. Each are set as default on my MacBook. However, Thunderbird has recently started opening links in Safari instead of opening them in a new Firefox tab like it did just a couple of weeks ago. I cannot figure out how to make that stop. I've verified that Firefox is set as the default browser in my Mac's system settings. What caused this to change recently and how can I make it go back?

I have a dual boot laptop. It came with Win 11 installed and I added a new ssd with an old Win 10 system, which had Thunderbird configured. The win 10 system worked fine with outlook and I saw and verified the password. I upgraded the Win 10 to Win 11 and it all continued to work fine. I again checked the password stored in Thunderbird. When I tried to set up the same account in Thunderbird on the "as installed" Win 11, it fails to pass authentication. I have no idea why since I have checked the password in the "old" system and used it in the new. I have tried using the menu option "New Account" and the submenu option for "+ New Account" within the "Account Settings" menu item. Both seem to take me to the same automatic process - which is what is failing. I can't see what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. Any help much appreciated. The laptop is a MSI Katana AI B8VE (using AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS.

Have been running classic Outlook email in Win 10 for years, with a blueyonder.co.uk (Virgin) email address. Now moving to a new PC running Windows 11. Tried to setup Outlook email in Win 11, but Outlook keeps telling me that my blueyonder address doesn't exist though I still get emails on my phone and my old PC running Windows 10. Given up on Outlook and advised by a friend to try Thunderbird. Now trying to setup Thunderbird. It looks very hopeful; it found my Virgin account and setup corresponding server settings, but when I click on "Done" I get the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." I have checked my password by signing in to Virgin, where I can see my emails. Dave.

Thunderbird can't seem to add my outlook account and keeps telling me to check username and password; both of which are correct.

I have two separate accounts; a hotmail account and an outlook account. It added the hotmail, but won't add the outlook account.

I have picked up some bug(s) on my Firefox that I cannot figure out how to get rid of. With a Firefox ID I have warnings of 3 Trojan Virus detected, Virus detected, hard drive infected, secure data notice and system alert. I also got a warning that my McAfee protection had expired which is very strange. Since switching over in 2010 from Windows to Linux I have never had protection of any kind and unlike Windows have never had a single problem. In addition when I was using Windows the protection that I had was never McAfee. I suspect that these warnings are not from Firefox given the misprints, spelling errors and the poor English. It is likely phishing from some third world country. How do I get rid of this obvious garbage permanently? Many thanks! Kris

There still does not seem to be any way to search for an exact term. For example, if I search for "provider", I get matches for things like "provide", "provides", etc. This makes Search anywhere from unhelpful to completely useless: imagine trying to find emails that mention your friend "Don".

I am sure the people behind Thunderbird think that this "feature" is helpful, and occasionally it is, but it is disastrous when the user knows precisely what they want but can't find it.

Please can we have an option for exact matches only?

BTW, from I can tell people have been asking for this for at least five years.

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?
