Hello folks,

I use an email provider with a web interface in my daily business. For backup purposes, I start Thunderbird every few days and download all emails from this account to my local Thunderbird profile via IMAP (and regularly back up this profile to a separate hard disk).

Due to a size limitation of my online mailbox, I would now like to archive old emails and thus remove them from the online mailbox.

What I want to achieve:

1. Once archived emails should disappear from the online mailbox.
2. Emails from the last two years should still be accessible online.
3. The existing folder structure should be retained.
4. Access to emails within the archive via Thunderbird must be ensured.
5. I need to be able to back up the local profile / archive to an external hard disk via copy&paste.

I have installed the Thunderbird extension "AutoarchiveReloaded" for this purpose and now need some help in sorting my thoughts and later setting up the archiving.

1. To ensure that the emails are deleted from the online mailbox after archiving, I set the Thunderbird option "mail.imap.expunge_after_delete" to true.
2. In the Thunderbird account, I set the option "[x] Keep messages archives in > Archives Folder > Local Folder".
3. I also set the "Archive options..." to "Yearly archived folders" and "[x] Keep existing folder structure of archived messages".
4. I set the AutorarchiveReloaded limits as requested (i.e. 730 days)
5. I can still save the local mailbox (with the archived emails) by copying the Thunderbird profile (currently '/home/ElBarto/.thunderbird/1d4ztbb9.default-release/') as the "Local Directory" below "Local Folders" is the same path and is only supplemented by the subdirectory 'Local'.
6. And most importantly: data loss due to archiving must be avoided at all costs. I am talking here about 20 years of email history, which I have moved securely and completely with every email provider move so far.

Does it all work like this or have I made a mistake somewhere?

Thank you very much for your support and have a nice Sunday!

How can I set the default language fir Firefox to English? Currently browsing results always come up in language of my geographic location, for example, Romanian while in Romania. Never had this problem before.

This is almost surely a "security" or "privacy" design, but it's an error. In Firefox - only (this works fine in Chrome) - if I open the LastPass Firefox Extension, find a Site, and Copy the password, then go directly to an open AnyDesk remote access connection, and Paste (or, lightning bolt menu, Insert from Clipboard), what gets pasted is a single wrong character, NOT the password that IS in the clipboard. (If I paste instead into e.g. a local Notepad window, the actual password gets pasted). I asked AnyDesk support about this, and they confirmed that it's something that Firefox is doing. It shouldn't. Copy is copy. Paste is paste. Why would Firefox do something so that copied text (which just happens to be a password from a password vault extension) pastes wrong when the destination just happens to be a remote desktop client (AnyDesk) to send the password through to complete a login at the remote end? Anyway, how to turn off this wrong behaviour? thank you. (Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit, 23H2, Firefox current - 125.something today, but this has been going on for some weeks at least, AnyDesk version 8 current)

When switching from one tab to another, streaming stops and video won't play in background. I've tried all the main fixes suggested I've found. Nothing worked. Please help! Will be using alternate browser until fixed as it's too unwieldy for me to use this way.

Hyatt.com can be loaded on other browsers but not on Firefox. There is just a blank page with no error message. There is an archived thread on support.mozilla.or called "hyatt.com". The suggested solutions don't work or are too complicated. So please solve the problem. And STOP archiving threads that are still an unsolved problem! Am using Win8.1 and auto-updating Firefox.

Some months ago, Firefox stopped displaying the blue progress bar that would normally show once you clicked on the download icon. You still see the usual file info but now the progress bar of the download is gray instead of blue and is extremely hard to see. You have to look closely but in the first screenshot you can see where the shade of gray of the progress bar changes, just under the "6" of the "x86" part of the file name. But if you click on the "show all downloads" link, then the blue progress bar will show as usual for any in-progress downloads in the Library window, as shown in the second screenshot.

It isn't a huge issue but is still annoying when you just want to quickly see the progress of downloads in Firefox. I haven't changed any of the colors in Firefox or in Windows for that matter, I'm currently running Windows 10. All other dialog boxes, windows, etc. all display normally on my system. Just curious if anyone else is having this problem and hopefully a future update can take care of it.

Thanks very much!

Hi there,

I just started using my new MacBook Air, and when I try to use the trackpad to open read Gmail or click the calendar icon on Firefox, it doesn't respond. It works on Safari.

As per the photo, I try to click the calendar icon to open up my calendar and nothing happened.

I have been living a battery drain issue in background. When i do not force stop firefox manually, it just continues to drain some percentage of my battery while my whole usage. Like 10% to 30%. It's worse when i turn my phone off and sleep. Firefox drains all of my battery while i sleep.

Some how I managed to get duplicate folders with many sub folders attached to 2 other accounts. The sub folders do not all contain the same information. Some are empty other contain information I am looking for. I want to print on the sub folder names along with the number of entries so that so that I can copy/consolidate the non empty sub folder back to their original location. The sub folder list is very long. I work better with hard copy as opposed to flipping screens. Any time I tried to print the sub folder list, it printed all of the contents.

Thanks for any help.

I have been seeing these annoying colorful dots popping up on websites that ruin the otherwise excellent browsing experience. They sort of move around as I scroll. They aren't limited to specific websites and show up randomly.

When they strike, certain site elements disappear too - like the social sharing badges in the screenshots I've attached.

Thought it was a temporary problem that'd be fixed with an update but it's stuck around for months now.

Anyone else facing this problem?

I'm currently on a very old version of Firefox simply because the new versions, each time I try the latest versions, seem to not have the function the old one has. Remembering the websites I put into the address bar. The version I am currently using did have a issue with shuffling the order of the sites based on 'use' but setting Firefox to Private mode kept the websites locked in order and did not make them shuffle if one was clicked more often than another. Is this something I can do on the current version because I tried and looked for a way to do this recently but I kept getting 'autofill' results from google when I just want to be in Private mode, have the websites I frequent be the only ones listed when I click the address bar and not have them shuffle or have any other website I'd type into the bar not add itself to the list. If this is or isn't possible let me know.

When I scan any QR code it goes to a Firefox start page instead of the site the code it’s written to. The same for links from other apps. My software is up to date. I have tried powering down and restarting. I really like Firefox and would like to keep it as my primary browser. What should I check?

"https://www.tiktok.com/live/" freezes after few minutes of usage and activity monitor shows "FirefoxCP Isolated Web Content" using over 100% CPU

I have used firefox for years as my browser with my home page set to google. I have always had a bookmarks toolbar but never a bookmarks side bar and do not want one. The other day a bookmarks side bar suddenly appeared. I have moved it from left side to right side and can delete it temporarily by using CTRL +B, but can't find a way to permanently remove it, i.e. make the default setting so that the side bar doesn't appear. can you help?

There's also no way to add an exception? Just completely broken at the moment. I have to disable OCSP stapling to get it to work at all, which is less then ideal.

Currently using 125.0.3 (64-bit). I checked for newer versions of firefox and it's not saying anything. Chrome and Edge work fine. Encountered this on an android tablet with firefox, and went to desktop and hit the same thing.

Hello, I recently find products added to check out from various sites to purchase. I use all my pcs and other devices. They are all password protected. No one uses my devices. I think some one got my account. I changed the password. Can you help me about this topic Kind regards sami

Why are my bookmarks all of a sudden not working anymore.

Selecting the saved bookmark from DudkDuckGo or Firefox does not load the page.

Did i change a setting accidentally/

Did Mozilla change the functionality?

What's going on?

Thanks for your help.

Note: I can access the page by going directly to its URL ... but what's the point of bookmarks if that is necessary?

Thx. again.
