Received messages show as tabs - rather than listings and are often repeated .. This only happens in Windows version not in Android (which perforems and displays perfectly - see attached upploaded image.

Hi everyone!

I am using the add on 'sidebery' for vertical tabs.

Recently I updated to FF 157.0 and saw this annoying part in the sidebar (as seen in the image attached "started like that...")!

I didn't ask for taking up THAT much space in the sidebar area that could fit almost TWO vertical tabs in it! Can you (or I?) somehow make it go away completely?

The userChrome.css 'trick' with sidebar-header #sidebar-box {

  display: none !important;  

} didn't do it.

...

So...Fast forward and another update took place (158.0) and looking at the attached image ("now..."). That space needs to be GONE for good. Like it was before. And not with a label tacked on top. :)

Can you make go away?

Cheers!

I looked it all up:

Incoming (IMAP) outlook.office365.com 993 SSL/TLS OAuth2

Outgoing (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com 587 STARTTLS OAuth2

Use IMAP not POP

Use OAuth2 not password

Username is my msn email address (username@msn.com)

I have spent all evening and all night trying to set this up and it has failed every single time. I used AI to double check all the info setting. I found nothing on Mozilla or Mozilla Thunderbird to help.

It should work and it is not working. There is no other information I have found that would contribute to solving the problem.

Hello, I'm currently having a problem with Thunderbird version 15.9. I can no longer sign in to my Google-Account after I set new passwords and entered them in Thunderbird. Several attempts were unsuccessful. I then deleted all entries related to my Google account. Adding the existing account again failed. I received two error messages. Error message 1: “Waiting for authorization during sign-in". Error message 2: “The inbox server is already in use.” An other E-Mail Account runs perfect. I urgently need help.

As of yesterday, I could easily take a screenshot and then drop it into my conversation with chatgpt. Today (after last night's update to Firefox) all my screenshots come up blank. I have tried different settings and turned off enhanced but nothing works.

After this last "update" that went backwards in usefulness I can not find folders that I had with a lot of info I want and need, both business and personal. IF this can not be fixed do you have a recommendation for a better free email client system? I have lost needed information.

Your how to find what version I'm using is garbage, try to either make the instructions complete with a step by step for what option to go to or make it an auto fill when coming to this page. I had to guess.

Thank You Mike Gert [redacted]@gmail.com

Are Bhat Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with elabharthi.bihar.gov.in. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails. Ara hai

Is it possible to install Tbird on different filesystem separate form the OS without having symlinks coming from the OS area i.e installing it like a portable?

I checked out a couple of Thunderbird-*.tar.xz packages from the [[Mozzilla Archive.|https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/]] Mozzilla archive. Unpacked them in the target area and discovered that the permissions of the executables were not suitable, not set to execute it was all read/write.

The official only gives you the option of the default, $HOME and no where else. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-thunderbird-linux ' "Why do this: Putting Tbird and its profile together in a separate area allows me to keep a long term backup of an account before I delete it. It becomes a trivial matter of restoring and access the contents without relying upon an existing tbird installation. This is trivial in Windows with a portable Tbird, it only adds about 350MB to the backup.

I have increased text size, but the text in web addresses, sidebars and tab labels are tiny (accompanying icons seem fine). Firefox in Win 11 (Brave Browser doesn't exhibit that problem, I assume I changed something during set-up)?

Hello, My last name includes a middle name component. This isn't very unusual in German; for example, there are names like “von der Leyen,” “zum Felde,” or “zur Mühlen.” However, when I enter my name—“First Name, Name Component, Last Name”—in Firefox, only the last name is automatically filled into forms. The name component is missing. Is there a solution for this?

It's some weeks since I cannot use TB properly due to some authentication issues with some of my gmail accounts. I do receive the incoming emails but I'm no more able to send. When I try, the send window hangs with no progress and what I need to do is close the current email which I'm not even able to save as draft, restart TB and then wait for the software to open the browser and say that the application is authorized. I've already done this several time per each account. I've tried to delete the saved password and token but it does not help. Another gmail account which is also configured on TB but almost never used to send emails is working perfectly and it has 3 entries in the Password management section of the setting window: two of those seem to be the same and contain the current password while the other entry has the token.

Using TB 153.6.0esr (64 bit) Badge per Thunderbird MeadowThunderbird for Linux Mintmint-001 - 1.0 on Linux Mint 22.3, Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-149-generic, Architecture: x86-64.

The issue has been noted also before the recent update, when running TB 153.4.0esr (64 bit) always on Linux Mint.

I've double checked the account/server settings and those seem to be exactly the same as two years ago when I configured my several Gmail accounts on TB on this laptop. I've also tried to add an exception on the cookies settings, but the problem persists. Actually, I'm obliged to restart TB each time the issue occurs and then it works without any setting/configuration change. This lets me think that all the settings are ok otherwise I would never be able to send/receive any email even after restarting TB.

When I click the "+" icon to open a new tab it sometimes for some reason makes me get the "not responding" message in the title bar and the window goes white. It's not necessarily a crash, after a waiting 5-10 seconds it opens the new tab. People have told me to disable my browser extensions, although that didn't work. I don't have much else to say, but I'd be more than happy to cooperate.

My email provider - part of Claranet- has recently updated its security certificate which is now not accepted by Thunderbird or Google mail on Android devices. I can access mail by removing SSL/TSL but not send, and thar leaves me with no security so lots of spam getting through. Claranet say this must be down to these platforms ( hope I have the right terminology). Can anyone advise?

Where do extensions generally store their data. EG Tab Session Manager. In this case there is a tab for storing backups but nothing is said about where the basic data is stored.

I assume it's somewhere in the profile info, but the files generally have impenetrable names. Most of the extension devs aren't easy to contact.

MacOS 15.8.3. Firefox 160.0

Firefox had signed me out of the Web sometime last night, I left it signed in and woke to being signed out. Tried to sign back in, but haven't received the codes. At one point it said I attempted to many times. Im signed in everywhere else but my laptop.
