After working for 2 years without fault and with making no changes to my computer. suddenly when I double click the the Mozilla Thunderbird icon, the pointer goes to the hour glass display, then after a few seconds it returns to the pointer, then nothing, the display remains the same and no email program is shown.
(The most recent change was when I went from ADSL to NBN the day before, but after that change Thunderbird was working fine for a day.)
I can do this multiple times, with the same result, yet when I check the processes in Task Master, it shows that Thunderbird exe has been activated and running on each occasion.
I tried a re install, but I got the message that "Thunderbird was running and needed closing" yet no sign of it running anywhere.
I have re booted, then installed the latest download, but still the same result.

This is in Tbird. I click someplace in email I am writing, for editing or whatever, and the cursor disappears. NOT always but def. TOO MUCH of the time .. and for quite some time now. I can click someplace, and start typing, but no cursor is showing. Too random, yet common, for me to figure out why.

I downloaded Firefox today and I'm trying to install uBlock and Zoom Page WE. I can install them just fine and their buttons will show up in the toolbar. However, if I close Firefox and open it again the buttons will be gone and the addons will only work in websites I had visited before restarting Firefox. They still show up in the addons menu and the buttons will show up again if I deactivate and activate the addons but as soon as I restart Firefox the buttons will be gone again. The addon buttons won't show up under the personalize menu either (even though I can move them there before closing Firefox).

For the last few days (I'm not exactly sure since when) Flash Player has been crashing immediately when a page with a Flash video loads up and reloading the page does not fix it. I've tried visiting the same pages using Microsoft Edge and the videos seemed to play fine, so I assume this is an issue with Firefox. I'm on a Windows 10 64 bit machine.
I've updated my graphics card drivers, updated Flash Player and disabled a video download app/extension that I thought could possibly be causing problems but none of these steps worked. The next step I'd normally take is to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash Player settings, however I can't access them. When the Flash Player crashes it comes up with a sad face graphic and asks me if I'd like to send a crash report. Right clicking does not bring up the option to enter the Flash Player settings menu. I don't know whether this problem (being unable to access the settings) is caused by Flash or Firefox.
For now I've disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox. Videos now play but when I scroll down a page I get a lot of screen tearing. I've not had enough time yet to see if this has caused any other ill effects.
I'm guessing that I shouldn't need to disable hardware acceleration if the browser is working properly (and everything else is up to date), so I hope that this issue is fixed soon.

I know there are a variety of solutions posted here to this problem (like deleting xulstore) but Firefox recently (v55?) stopped remembering my window sizes and positions on restore. I thought it was an add-on problem like Classic Theme Restorer or SessionManager or TabMixPlus but I tried with a brand new profile with no add-ons installed and it still is displaying the same broken behaviour: all restored windows are restored to the same stock size and position and new windows open with that same stock size also (even if they are opened from windows whose size I have changed).
Anyone know what is going on? Is this a recent regression?

Get the message that the printer's not online. Have tried rebooting printer, checked set-up on printer and computer/Thunderbird. Had been printing wirelessly from Thunderbird for several years using same set-up/server/printer/computer. Have tried all suggestions in support forum. Any thoughts? Wondering if it is a bug in this version of T'bird.

after changing "imap server directory" to [Gmail] (in order to get a flat look of my gmail), a folder [Gmail] is created each time I start thunderbird, I delete it and after restarting it does something like "checking for folders" and recreates it,
I tried to enable debug according to: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Debugging
but didn't work, I guess because I'm using portable thunderbird,
so how can I find out what's causing it to recreate this folder?
thanks in advance

Thank you
PS......don't even try to sell me on SYNC......I hate the concept, am not interested in it at all, & I will never want it....ever.

Hi folks,
I am one of a few people using FF 50.0 on Raspbian/Jessie. (That's a Raspberry PI running Jessie.)
I needed this version to allow an addon to work, but that's ANOTHER story.
Problem: (The config I have now is "nothing" compared to how I once had FF running on THIS machine. 5 windows, 100+ tabs and it was USABLE! Today it is 2 windows and about 20 tabs and it is complaining.)
I have a few youtube tabs and am restoring a session. I see a message about "This is slow: Fix problem / Don't tell me again." I clicked on the FIX problem and was told about "refreshing" firefox to MAYBE fix the problem.
Troubleshoot firefox and press REFRESH. I read things that it wipes and things it keeps.
But this is different to what I read/understand else where. Sorry I am really having a hard time tracking what is where just now, which isn't helping the bigger problem with FF.
I have it customised FF. Addons, etc. It is the way I like it. But as I was about to press the button I read "It wipes your addons"
Now, I don't mind pressing a REFRESH button and have it clean out "junk" which may be clogging up the machine/program, but WIPING MY ADDONS!!??
Sure it says it puts the old config "on your desktop"...... That is windowz talk. I'm using Linux/Jessie. I am not sure that translates correctly.
Also I don't want to go through the hassle of maybe having to re-install all the addons (and their settings), if it doesn't work. As there is only 1 youtube tab being loaded, it shouldn't be THAT much of a problem. It could just be something else being picky.
As I said, I have run it with 5 windows and 100+ tabs open. Though that was the Jessie version, not the "experimental" version that this is.
Can someone clarify if it "wipes" all the addons, or what it does.
I am tempted to "restart with all addons disabled" to see what happens. But thought I would ask because of the differing information given on different sites about what happens. Both sites Mozilla sites. Or was it in FF that I read it? Anyway....
Thanks in advance.

Have set up several email accounts. The first one contains an unresolved error and is rejected. Re-entered this email account information and the email account works fine. My problem is when I check for messages, Thunderbird starts with the account containing the error and does not allow receipt of messages. I need a way to remove the first entry which contains the error. Thanks for any suggestions.
