The lists I created will not work in TB 31.1

more options

I had several lists previously in TB. Never had any issues until after this latest update.

I click on a list and send it to my recipients line. I then get a message that it won't go because the Syntax is incorrect. I tried this on several lists and get the same message. I even tried creating a new list but the same message pops up.

Hello,

I am sorry to hear about this. Several other people have reported this issue, I replied with a workaround suggested by one of them in this thread.

Please follow up there, it would help if you have any other details (OS version, exact TB version) and if you could confirm the workaround is valid. Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support and again, apologies for this!

I will try the work around but it really makes me mad. All the time I wasted yesterday.

Thanks for your response.

I have new information about this.

It looks like it's this bug. If you have an account on Bugzilla, it would help to vote for that issue.

It seems lists with a description that includes several words have this problem. The bug report suggests replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_".

If you don't want to change your descriptions, the other workaround provided still works.

Since upgrading to 31.1.0, address lists to not work! AND, filters do not work correctly either!

Went back to 31.0 - doesn't work either!

Went back to 30.0b1 - Still doesn't work!

The workaround of copying the addresses from the address Book and pasting them in does work but I found it more convenient to find an old message that was sent to the group, Reply All, and paste in the new message.

Windows 8.1, DELL 660s.

Help!

This has been reported as Bug #1060901. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.

Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1. It's the first time I hear about other previous versions having this problem.

Profuse apologies!

I failed to properly test with older versions.

I have since determined it does work fine with 31.0.

Sorry for the bum information.

I don't have an account on Bugzilla and honestly don't even know what it is. :-)

I will use the work around until Mozilla gets it fixed.

Thanks again for your time.

Re: apologies - no need to! The world is a better place if this works in 31.0 :) Re: voting - not a problem, it was just a suggestion.

Cheers!

Another dumb question. Where would be the correct place to post a question about Skype showing up on the Toolbar of my laptop?
