Hello,

Ref: Thunderbird 91.1.1 running on Ubuntu Mate 20.04.3 on a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 Issue: For over a week whenever I do a search of my emails I'm unable to view an email result

In the first attached screenshot one can see a search being done on old emails for a given topic. The blue arrow indicates which email one wants to view in the list of results of the search.

The second screen shot attempts to view that selected email, but the Donation request window prevents viewing. Although long time user and recently donating again to the project this does not fix this issue.

I tried to look at the results of search of another email account but same result. Tried to repair the directory containing the result, to compact, to purge the startup buffer but nothing changes. Searched for a solution but found none, but maybe it's a question of key words for the search.

How to fix this please I really need to see my email search results often and right now nothing for this works.

Thanks

I lost all emails when I downloaded a new version of TB. Can I get them back? You can email me direct at bc@bsc777.com if possible.

Thanks in advance Bob

I have been used thunderbird for many years and it was good. But recently both of my thunderbird on Mac and Ubuntu becomes very slow when sending emails (5-10min), including using both smtp servers from office365 email and gmail. I tested re-install thunderbird on Ubuntu and remove email accounts in thunderbird and none of them worked. Any idea?

About a week ago, Firefox began occasionally opening a webpage or even my Google login window in some random language. Opening a new tab and closing the errant tab would result in the same page opening correctly in English. The language used when Firefox erred was never the same twice. In the last couple days the rate of errors has accelerated. Any ideas how to fix this problem? Is someone other than me using my Firefox credentials?

After the 90.0.2 update, the bookmarks menu no longer scrolls with the center wheel of my mouse. The center wheel scrolls properly in my emails, on webpages, everywhere else but the in the bookmarks. I have to use the up or down arrows to scroll through them, and it's a royal pain because I have so many bookmarks.

I read through your posted problems solved but didn't find anything like this...

Symptom: Thunderbird when asked to download messages (POP3 mode) displays a numerical count of messages to download, the download indicator starts, then immediately displays "no messages to download" and the process stops. But those unread messages ARE on the GMail server.

Detail I hope will prove helpful:

I am using Thunderbird version 78.14.0 but that update was a couple weeks ago as I vaguely remember and there was no e-mail problem afterward. The host PC is an HP laptop running 64-bit Windows 10 Home version 21H1. I have been successfully using this setup for my Gmail account for at least 5 years.

However, several times during the last week there was a problem with long delays in downloading messages. Usually when I send a message having a CC to myself, that CC is available for download within a few seconds. But during these problem periods the messages were delayed for several hours. On the last of those occasions prior to the current failure, a message was displayed indicating that GMail had a problem that was being addressed. Not sure whether that was on the GMail server or on Thunderbird, but seems it must have been on the server since I don't see how Thunderbird could have displayed it.

But now there have been no e-mail downloads for the last day and a half, although they are building up on the server where I can see them. I have not changed any settings on the server, nor on Thunderbird. I did try the changeover to "recent" as suggested in a GMail help article, but with no success. Actually there was no obvious change at all except that my e-mail address displayed above Inbox in Thunderbird added "recent:" to the beginning of my e-mail address. So I restored the original setup.

I have also tried re-starting Thunderbird, a couple times, but that made no difference.

What is happening here? More to the point, how to fix it? My suspicion is that GMail has caused this problem, but online search has not shown an outcry from frustrated GMail users that I expected to find.

I have 2021 iPad Pro 11-inch with Logitech Folio keyboard/case. Firefox Daylight version 37.0

Prior to iPad OS 15 upgrade, I could tap into a login form and RoboForm and Keychain would offer to Autofill the form. Feature no longer works in Safari or Firefox. However, feature does still work on old iPad Air 2 and iPhone XS, both of which are upgraded to iPad OS/iOS version 15.

I disconnected the Logitech keyboard to be sure it’s not the problem source. Problem persists with keyboard disconnected.

Also uninstalled/reinstalled FireFox on iPad Pro. Problem persists.

Will report this to RoboForm also.

After the most recent update, currently on 92.0, the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons are invisible. They are still there and I can get the tool-tip if I hover over them with the mouse, but visually they are completely gone.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

I'm a gmail user and use its keyboard shortcuts extensively. The problem I've had in Firefox (but not Chrome) is that 2-3 times per day, when I'm typing in gmail's search bar, the shortcut handling code kicks in.

Here's a more detailed example:

1. I hit `/` to go to the search bar
2. I want to search for "peach", so I start typing that
3. When I type the second letter, `e`, gmail recognizes that as the shortcut to archive the current message.

If I reload the gmail tab, it'll start working again.

I'm on MacOS. I've got five add-ons installed which have permissions on gmail (see attached image), but none strike me as the type which would affect javascript keyboard event handling. The most likely would be LastPass or uBlock origin.

Has anybody else encountered this? Found a solution?

So, I just switched to firefox on android 10 as my default browser and I've got this bug where the suggestions remain opened even after the search is complete and it's showing the results (see screenshot). I can interact with the search but I can't see what I'm pressing for obvious reasons. I have tried clearing the cache and even reinstalling it but with no success.

Firefox focus works without any problem.

Why is my FF keeps on filling up memory even without doing any browsing?

Because my FF started crashing a couple of days ago, I just monitored the Memory Usage on Task Manager. I opened both FF and Edge, without any browsing. Edge is maintaining memory usage at around 129MB (without browsing), but FF keeps on increasing the memory usage. About 20 mins since opening FF, FF memory usage is 3,241 MB (without any browsing at all) and it still keeps climbing as I type.

I am attaching a couple of Task Manager screen shots.

Edge memory usage is up on Image 4 because I am using Edge to type this message.

Can someone please help?

(Current FF memory usage is 3,518 MB - no browsing at all).

I use Win 10 and I'm up to date.

Had to reinstall iOS on my MacBook. Upon reinstalling Firefox and signing in to my account, I no long see my bookmarks. My iPhone was synchronized with my MacBook and I still see the bookmarks on my phone.

How do I synchronize my MacBook with my iPhone (not the other way around)?

Bonjour à tous,

je vous écris car depuis ce matin firefox a totalement supprimé toutes les informations de mon compte. J'ai également vu l'apparition d'un dossier old Firefox data sur mon ordinateur sans que je sois au courant.

J'ai réussi à retrouver tous mes onglets mais impossible de réintégrer mes mots de passe. J'ai bien le fichier key4 mais Lockwise n'autorise pas l'importation.

Une idée ?

Merci à la communauté,

I only ever use IMAP mail settings, but today (21st Sep 2021) they've changed in Thunderbird to POP3.

I get the msg "This POP3 server does not seem to support encrypted passwords. If you have just set up this account, please try changing to 'Password, transmitted insecurely' as the 'Authentication method' in the 'Account Settings | Server settings'. If it used to work and now suddenly fails, this is a common scenario how someone could steal your password" Thunderbird is up to date. Please does anyone know how I can change them back without having to delete them first? As they're now POP I'm not sure if the emails will be deleted if I delete the accounts, Thanks for any help!

When i click on the lock icon in the address bar, nothing happens (I would expect to see the encryption and certificate, but no widget opens). When I right-click into the page and select "View Page Info", "Security", "View Certificate", no certificate exists. Only generic info is shown (Servers+Authorities). Also an error is reported in the system log, confirming that no certificate exists: JavaScript error: chrome://browser/content/browser-siteIdentity.js, line 642: TypeError: issuerCert is undefined

Questions:

• Why does Firefox show the lock icon while no certificate exists?

• How does Firefox establish a secure connection without having a certificate? (From my understanding a certificate is needed for TLS to work.)
