Hello,

I have noticed an issue with the download process. Perhaps it can be easily fixed. ( Is this the right place to report? )

Downloading a duplicate of a .tar.xz archive results in a corruption of the name extension, as the suffix should be placed one dot before;

ie. "fileName(2).tar.xz" and not "fileName.tar(2).xz" ;

It actually seamed a couple of times to be a corrupted download.

Thank yoouu

Hi,

Firefox android provides no master password/primary password protection so passwords in the Firefox password manager are protected only by your lockscreen swipe(yeah, I thought the same thing you just thought).

I need full protection like on Desktop or I can't sync my passwords to Firefox. However, when temporarily enabling password sync on desktop, for example between two desktop devices it also temporarily enables it on android Firefox that you might have synced as well. The upshot of this for me is that I now have all my passwords on android without wanting them there for the above reasons.

So, how do I remove all passwords on my firefox android, without having to reinstall Firefox on the phone?

I can get to the "stored passwords" box, but the email I need to change the password for isn't listed there. I have tried to send and receive messages but nothing makes a "enter your password" box pop up. All I get when it tries to retrieve messages from Gmail is a box to give my email, (just that, not a password) and then an error message that it won't work and there is no more information. I'm using Linux. I've had both this particular email address (as well as others) and Thunderbird for years, perhaps two decades, and I can't figure out what to do now. I was going to change all my email passwords for security reasons, but there's no way I can do that until I can get Thunderbird working with POP access again. Thank you.

A few days ago I changed my password on my account but I forgot to write it down. Now I tried to change it again but it doesn't remember the current password, resulting in it asking me to enter the 32-character password, but unfortunately I don't have that either. How can I change my password without losing my data? King regards John Papoulakos

Hi,

Get an error message with... Error 403: disallowed_useragent ...when trying to sign in.

Message includes: "If you're seeing this error message in Thunderbird for Android's app, you can contact the developer to let them know that their app must comply with Google's 'Use secure browsers' policy." Learn more about this error: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7675428

Some web sites such as Amazon have an options bars to select items like 'review order'. When the web page first comes up, they show white in the dark bar. But Firefox is immediately changing the white to purple so that it is almost impossible to read. I haven't been able to find anything in settings to correct this. I do not have this issue when I use Chrome.

Can I have my Thunderbird email account on my desktop computer and on my laptop simultaneously? I want to continue using my desk top computer for email, as I always have. But I also want to take my laptop with me on a cruise so I can send and receive email while I'm away.

I'm currently using Thunderbird ESR, which I'm happy with, except for a few things I can live with.

My question is if I change to Thunderbird Release will my different email addresses still be visible on one page?

It's imperative that I can see everything for each address on the same page, and sometimes move messages from the folder of one email profile to another.

When I look at the Thunderbird Release page it's very confusing, so I'm thinking "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Should I stick with that philosophy?

Thanks,

Tess

OK, I give up. As far as I know, my settings for TB for Android are the same as TB for Windows. However, I have 1300 emails in the Inbox in TB for Windows (and can search them), but only about 20-30 in TB for android (hopeless for a search). What am i doing wrong?

I have a 600 Mbps internet connection with Infinity. It measures the speed on Chrome, through my router, however, Firefox only measures the internet speed at approximately 400Mbps. Firefox is slow. I have done all thing suggested to make Firefox perform better. What has happened to this browser? Also the Browser when loaded with too many tabs freezes and has to be forced quit. I started using Vivaldi that measures over 600Mbps. Comments. My laptop is a older iMac that still works perfectly running High Sierra. No more Mac's, Apple has lost it way on producing computers, and has defaulted itself to a phone company.

Attached is a screen shot that shows Firefox trying to measure the speed, but the test has frozen, will not complete.

Hello, I tried following the steps on [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/.../moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer]. However, I currently have a flatpak installation where I land in a folder which also has executable among other files (?). I do not see the usually named profile folder and therefore cannot copy it to my new computer. Do you know how I can move in this case? Thanks

For the past several months I'm unable to Login to Mozilla Foxfire from my Desktop. The URL I'm using is: http://www.my.yahoo.com - it then switches to https://signin.att.com and I get the following message: "AT&T - It's not you, it's us. We can't complete your request right now, please try again."

Regardless how often I attempt to Login, it's useless. I'm obligated to go to Google Chrome to access my Yahoo Mail & Calendar. Have gone many years without a hitch, now this. As a long time supporter of Mozilla Foxfire I would appreciate any help y'all could offer. Thank you. esaviles@sbcglobal.net

Thanx for initial reply to my help request ...

My problem with Thunderbird downloading my Yahoo.com e-mails continue.

I've changed Yahoo.com passwords in the past with no problems. Thunderbird seems to have changed & become more complicated. I can't find the app password Generator for Thunderbird, but I'm able to see my Yahoo Password & the Oauth2 security protocol etc

So how in the heck can I get Thunderbird to work properly? And download my my messages into TB as it has done for years.

I'm baffled by the statement of my Browser being managed by my organization since I am a single, non connected entity and have no organization, nor do I want one. I want control since I'm the one paying for it's use. Can you explain how to return control to me and only me? Thanks, KG
