Just got the update to 78.2.2. from 68.x and it crashes about a few seconds after launching, freezing on the main screen. I've tried opening offline mode and safe mode but the same issue. Any suggestions?

Until today I would use a command line like:

Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird -profile /TargetPATH/4t8rz46z.default/

to start Thunderbird using the profile given in the TargetPATH.

But after todays update 78.2.2, this feature does not work on my mac MacOS 10.15.6

When using this command line, thunderbird opens but without any content.

How to do now a command line start of Thunderbird on a target profile?

Hi,

From two to three weeks ago, every time I open windows, my firefox browser reboots twice. It does not give any error message and when it reboots it goes back to home page. I removed all extensions, then I updated the browser and the Graphic Card, in vain!

Any help please

A folder in Bookmarks disappeared AGAIN! This is ridiculous. Every now and then Firefox loses a Bookmark folder. To make matters worse, I can waste a lot of time trying to find it and get no where. I have better things to do than trying to find lost Bookmark folders! How can I easily find the very important Bookmark folder quickly? Undo does not help.

Hi, So I recently reset my windows PC, logged back into my firefox account on it and my bookmarks aren't coming back, it's showing my desktop's bookmarks on my android phone (from before when I reset my PC), but the bookmarks aren't being transferred back to the actual bookmark toolbar on my desktop. I could manually copy and paste all the bookmarks from my phone but I think this would take quite a while.

I tried "connect to another device" but when I press "Scan" on my phone, aim it at the QR code on my desktop, it just says "Did you use the system camera? You must pair from within a Firefox app." from within firefox on android.

I just want to be able to get my bookmarks back on my desktop.

Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

We are in the middle of deploying Firefox ESR 68.11 (32-bit) on Windows 10 1903. The deployment is sucessfull so the application is installed correctly. but when we launch from desktop of menu shortcut, it crashes every time with: Sorry, we're having trouble having your page back. (see image attach).

Re-installing does not change anything...

I tried deleting the User profile registry entries and the %Localappdata%\Mozilla folder without any success. the message in the Event viewer is: Log Name: Application Source: Application Hang Date: 21/08/2020 11:14:34 AM Event ID: 1002 Task Category: (101) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: Description: The program firefox.exe version 68.11.0.7506 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed.

Thanks for any help

I have installed some extensions. Is there any way to disable / enable the extensions by single click without visiting Menu>Add-ons>disable?

Because some sites do not load properly due to some of the installed extensions. So, I have to disable whenever visiting the site and enable it again after closing the site.

This is driving me nuts. All of a sudden, I can't search for anything using Google without being asked for verification. You might well have seen this page before:

'I'm not a robot' check box

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?'

Which leads to the inevitable Select All Images With Traffic Lights etc pop ups. This is ONLY happening on Firefox, Chrome allows me to search on Google and Chrome is what I'll be using from now on if this doesn't get fixed.

I recently returned to my home computer after having been away from it for a few months.

When I pulled up Thunderbird; I found that all of my e-mails (including folders) are gone. I am wondering if the e-mail accounts may have become disconnected from the program.

Where can I go to see if the files are still there & how do I re-associate them with my account?

I'm running TB 68.9.0 (Windows 10). I had a power outage 3 days ago and now I can't delete or move any messages from my TB Inbox. The outage also affected my folderTree.json file but that's been resolved.

I've tried the fix provided in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-delete-messages. I deleted Trash and Trash.msf folders from the ...Profile\Mail\secure.fsr.com folder and then attempted to create a new Trash folder from within TB. But I get the error message "A folder with that name already exists. Please enter a different name."

Looking into my ...Profile\Mail folder I find multiple versions of my server (secure.fsr.com) folder (see graphic below). Maybe I've erased Trash and Trash.msf from the wrong version? I'm a little leary of just hacking away not knowing what these versions are.

So my questions are

1) Can you please advise on how I can once again move and delete emails from my Inbox?

2) What are these version folders for my server (secure.fsr.com) in ...Profile\Mail? Do I really need them all?

3) Likewise, what are the version folders for Local Folders, mail.pullman.com, and smart mailboxes? I know that my ISP changed the name of their server from mail.pullman.com to secure.fsr.com last spring. So the mail.pullman.com folders are probably a relic.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi there. I'm a blind web developer and I was wondering if there is some way to make the Firefox developer console more screen reader friendly. As it stands, I have no way of viewing JavaScript runtime errors or much of anything besides the element hierarchy when inspecting an element, and even this only provides very little information. I ask because there seems to be a big focus lately on testing for accessibility, but the tools to do so seem completely inaccessible themselves.

I would welcome any suggestions on how to use/improve the dev tools with a screen reader (I'm using NVDA) or an add-on I can down load that would be more friendly to me. I saw a mention of one called "Firebug", but that appears to be an outdated post.

Hello,

Since one week (but i was in holidays the 2 previous weeks) Firefox cache turn me crazy. I disconnect from an account or reload a page (where content have been changed) and data are not updated. I have to empty cache each time to be sure data are the good one. To work in sites backoffice it's just a nightmare !

Also when i save a form 50% of time it don't save values. It's crazy ... Big problem with cache system since one or 2 versions. Please correct this fast. Firefox become unusable.

Also : HOW TO CHANGE CACHE BEHAVIOUR ??? Now more option to set this ... In this situation i would like to set cache to be off ... But no more settings for that.

Regards.

When Thunderbird self updated to ver. 68.12.0 it did not retrieve the previous versions local folders and their contents. How do I get the old local folders and their contents back?

I would like to clear/delete ALL UNPINNED top sites thumbnails at once. Similar question was posted over three years ago... no solution was ever given. Having to go through them one at at time, clicking Delete from History, confirming, over and over and over, is a real pain. If the info is stored in a sql database table or even a json, it would at least be a quicker way! AND some of the thumbnails require multiple click to finally get rid of! Can you help?

I have a gmail account that was correctly setup with Thunderbird. Later I decided to get an own email+domain, so I setup forwardemail.net for incoming (redirecting to gmail), and mailgun.com for outgoing on the newly created domain.

Connecting the SMTP mailgun to gmail took 5 seconds, entering the server, port, username and password. In thunderbird however I can't set the password (I can just choose Authentication: Normal Password). So every time I try to send an email I get:

"Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.eu.mailgun.org was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again."

Under tools > security > password I can't manually add a password for this server, so I'm out of options. Is there a way to manually insert the password (command line, sqlite etc), into the saved password so it takes it from there? I can change the actual password, but I can't choose it (only reset it), so I can't make it match another password (the one thunderbird is using, if any).

Dear Friends,.

for a long time I have trusted and used Firefox bit this most recent problem is proving very hard to fix.

Browsing internet: Image I wish to save. Long press on image > 'save image' > download completed popup > image is openable.

Despite this, the image is nowhere to be found in the downloads file. Other browsers populate the downloads file and also allow you to choose the destination for downloads.

FF doesn't populate the downloads folder and doesn't allow me to choose the destination for downloads. There is also no downloads folder/native in the browser that I can see. The images appear after clearing the cache and restarting the phone...sometimes.

I added information on this to a 'solved' thread yesterday and even PM'd a moderator. This morning, no thread to be found and no reply from moderator.

Can we try to sort this please?

Cheers

I tend to be working on either of 2 PCs so have, for many years, been running Thunderbird with the profile on a shared NAS drive (z:\thunderbird\cc5rdcry.default). The 2 PCs, both have TB setup identically (C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe). The Appdata of both contains identical Installs.ini and Profiles.ini files - the profiles.ini for both is: [Install8216C80C92C4E828] Default=z:\thunderbird\cc5rdcry.default

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path=z:\thunderbird\cc5rdcry.default Default=1

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

One PC is running Win10, the other Win 7.

The profile is linked to 4 email addresses.

This week the WIn10 PC updated TBird to version 78.2.1, and now, on that PC I get the "New Account Hub for centralized account setup", and the other shows a message ""You have launched an older version of Thunderbird" which then goes on to say the profile was changed by a newer version.

When the new "hub" appeared I closed down TBird, went to the profiles.ini and changed the profile to point to the one on the NAS, but it made no difference.

If I click on the "hub" address book it brings up most of my collected email addresses, but not "organised" as they were in the profile.

I tried running the profile manager, but it only showed default, so was not sure whether to use that.

HELP!!!

I have used Thunderbird for a while and had saved emails from a lineone account. Until recently I had the regular folders available (inbox, sent, junk etc) for the account available in Thunderbird.

The actual email account itself was opened about 15 years ago and couple of years changed so I could no longer gain access to the email account but the emails remained in Thunderbird as did the folders.

I now need to access some of the emails from the account that should be on Thunderbird but have found that all folders have disappeared except for the inbox, which is empty.

I have searched for the emails in a global search on Thunderbird and it finds emails from the account but I cannot open the emails. Also, when carrying out the search it details the email account where the emails are found in the column on the left hand side of the screen and the account with the missing emails is shown there so the emails have not been deleted.

Can anybody help me to restore or access the emails from the missing account (I think it is a pop3 account) or to access the emails when carrying out the search.

Please note I only have basic knowledge of Thunderbird so if you could keep any responses in simple terms!!

Many thanks for your anticipated assistance

Hi, I'm migrating to CentOS 8 from a Scientific Linux system. Here are some details:

Old system (still working): Scientific Linux 6.2, installed about 2013 Firefox 60.9.0esr Thunderbird 31.6.0

New system: CentOS 8.2, installed a few days ago Firefox 78.2.0esr Thunderbird 68.11.0

I tried creating a Thunderbird account, with same name and e-mail address as an old one. Only the Inbox folder appears in that account. If I try to send an e-mail to myself, I can see it in the old system, not in the new one.
