• OS: Windows 11 25H2 (26200.8037)
• Browser: Firefox 148.0.2
• Camera: Logitech C925e

When I go to a meeting on meet.google.com, Google Meet says "Camera is starting". My camera light flashes and then stays on. However, Google Meet is unable to connect to the camera.

Upon closing the tab, the camera light stays on and the camera is unresponsive to all apps. The camera must be unplugged and plugged back in to work again.

The issue does not exist when I go to webcammictest.com in Firefox or in other desktop apps. The camera works correctly on meet.google.com when I use Chrome.

I have tried removing camera and microphone permissions to meet.google.com and re-granting them. I have tried deleting all meet.google.com cookies and storage.

hello, i cannot seem to find a solution online, hopefully someone here can help.

i often receive emails with images attached, and most of the time people don't resize the image. so you can imagine over time this all adds up. i dont always need to keep a 6mb image versions. i would love if there is a way to resize the email image attachment, to at least still have a smaller copy for refence, but not end up with a huge email account (local/pop3)

preferably a one click solution, or even a routine i can run on the file system, etc.

thanks

Firefox worked this morning, but stopped in the afternoon. I ran an update, but could not connect to my gmail account anymore, or listen to the Radio France podcasts All this works from Google Chrome (not my default browser). All under the Mozilla VPN 2001:4860:7:150e::fc (why the IPv6 address?)

Gmail will suddenly not open in Firefox with error saying there's a problem with my cookie settings--i did not change settings and cannot find any way to fix this. See attached image. I follow link in error message for "browser specific instructions" to fix it but there are no instructions.

Gmail opens in Edge and Chrome. I've spent some real time on this, cleared system memory, checked cookie settings wherever i can find them. Searched for tips online. Did Google do this on it's own to force me to use their browser? Wouldn't surprise me.

I have made no changes to the PC or mail midway through the day it suddenly said input password, the password is correct, but I get incorrect password message. The password works using browser mode.

For some reason I have lost all old emails in my inbox. I am only getting new messages, but I have many Thats I leaving in my inbox to address later. Please help me to recover them. This hspppen on or about a March 4, 2026

Since the firefox upgrade of March 4, 2026, I have lost all of my old emails in my inbox. These are important items I need to work on before I complete and file away. I need to gain access to them ASAP. Thank you.

When I try retrieving my email from my AOL account (IMAP) using Thunderbird and Windows 11 I get the message "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.aol.com." This account was working fine for months until the T-bird update. I have several other accounts on T-Bird, including Gmail and others, and they're still working just fine.

I have double-checked all the account settings and tried deleting the AOL account from T-Bird and setting it up again from scratch, but the problem persists.

Please help!

Many thanks.

My friend Ken has been using Thunderbird successfully for a long time. in the last 2 weeks, yahoo popups have shown up that prevent Thunderbird email usage. How do we get rid of them?

Hello, so I have Thunderbird installed on 2 Windows 11 PC's both are updated and operating with all updates! On my 1st (main) PC which I use 98% of the time Thunderbird has been running perfectly with IMAP and Oath2.

Last night on the 2nd PC I rarely use I opened Thunderbird and it started to download messages for awhile and all my 2026 up until OCT 2025 disappeared?

I logged into Yahoo Mail from a browser and yup all gone?

I sent a deleted by accident request to YAHOO and today all my mail had returned when I checked on my 1st (main) PC.

I started the 2nd PC and all was good, till it started downloaded messages again? And POOF right back to square one?

What's happening? Should I confirm that IMAP and OATH2 are enabled on that PC before I do something else? I've sent another DELETED request to Yahoo and at this point I'm thinking to just REMOVE Thunderbird all together on the 2nd PC.

I would like to know how I can control the timing of compacting the mailboxes under Linux and Windows. The reason why I ask is that every time compacting needs to be done, the prompt to do so comes up as soon as the Thunderbird interface finishes loading but before all of the mailboxes are finished updating,which can take several minutes. If I accept the compacting, it inevitably returns an error that it could not run because the mailboxes are still updating. Or I can cancel until I go through this the next time.

It would seem like a simple matter to either give the user a way to delay the compacting process, or have Thunderbird not initiate it until it is safe to do so to begin with.

I have tried to research this but have not found any answers.

Using Acronis True Image for Western Digital (ver 2025 build 41936) to backup my files on a daily basis. Recently the backup program has been stopping and reporting that it cannot access some Thunderbird files, even when Thunderbird was not running (1st image) I tried 'Compacting all Folders' in Thunderbird but the result was the same (2nd image). Lastly, I tried clearing the cache - the result is the same. In all cases Thunderbird was not running during the backup.

i realize that this is not a Thunderbird issue, but I've been unable to get help elsewhere. I wondered if anyone might have a solution since Acronis apparently sees the file as being accessed - is there a way to remove that?

For some time now my primary email address gets wiped clean every night and is empty every morning. I have to transfer received mail to another input address to keep it safe!

with this new version i lost everything i need to get back to an older version and get all my extentions my bookmarks back all my s desktop items that i had linked to firefox are gone i can no longer get face book or anything back to firefox book marks every thing i had with firefox

Hello,

I love Thunderbird, but I have recently moved to use a Android device for most of my work, and despite that there is now Thunderbird for Android, I found that there is a feature I really need but it is not working there: moving mails across different accounts. I work daily with four different accounts and sometimes I need to move some threads from to another. I had to move to a different email reader because of that, but I would really love to come back to Thunderbird.

Best regards, Patricia.

I like very much Thunderbird very much, but I had to move recently to use an Android device, that is my main computer now. I normally work with four email accounts, and I sometimes need to move emails across different accounts. I found out that it is not working on the mobile app. Are there any plans to include this functionality in Thunderbird? Thank you very much.

I'm able to add an e-mail account but when I go to add a second e-mail account, when it looks up the information, it just hangs with the circle going around.

This is true for two different user accounts on the same computer.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird but it didn't help.

Thunderbird can't be exited without killing from the task manager or shutting down.

I can't login to my Facebook account? But I can login to other browsers,

Can you please help me on this.

Thanks.

after confirmation and approval nothing changes on screen.
