I just updated the software a day ago and it helped out a lot of issues. On only 1 of my email accounts when I click on sent it freezes the software and I have to force close it. The other email accounts don't seem to have this issue.

Steps I've tried:

  • I've downloaded thunderbird and installed again.
  • Ran in troubleshoot mode or similar I guess to the safe mode.

Any suggestions would be kindly appreciated.

I cannot load duolingo webpage. Until yesterday, it loaded on my laptop without a problem. Now, when I go to this page, it is stuck in "loading." I can, however, load the page on Bing. I can also load it on Firefox on a DIFFERENT computer.

I can load all the other webpages that I have tried on my laptop on Firefox as usual. The only webpage that is not loading is Duolingo.

This an interesting one. When running Firefox on my personal Macbook. I've been recently having issues loading sites like Reddit, Facebook and a few others in private browsing mode.

The issue seems to only affect certain sites, browsing the rest of the internet I have no issues. However, with these sites, they simply either will not load or require multiple refreshes to work.

Even more interesting, my work Macbook has a similar ecosystem and works fine.

I have updated and reinstalled Firefox, cleared caches and history. And run both with and without VPN. As well as being sure to reboot the Mac before trying each new attempted fix.

Does anyone have any idea what's happening or what my next steps might be before I go to Apple for help?

Let's be clear: there IS zero support for FF. WINDOWS version notwithstanding, computer manufacturer put aside, my ability to properly plug-in the system to an AC outlet assumed, FF is DEAD.

I have been waiting for an answer, over a YEAR, and the issue at hand is the very basis for using a browser.

One day/once upon a time, OVER A YEAR AGO, FF throttled DOWN from 300mbps to - as of today, Sept 7 24 - 1-10mbps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It also started blocking access to websites such as my local Home Depot.

I switched to BRAVE.

I have "contacted"/posted this eventuation on every and all sites I could find with NO/ZERO response, broaching help.

Manu Andino (Mozilla Support), was the ONLY response I got and, of course, there is NO/NADA/ZERO help from him at the inappropriately, fraudulently, deceptively named SUPPORT.

This horror story is integral to the current trend of not caring about customers, clients, users and/or repeat "business". There exists NO technically competent personnel, with or without understandable accents, due to big, dirty, corporations or entities' attitude, that employee salaries/wages is money pissed-away. There is NO customer "service" outside of the way a prostitute "services" a service-person, on shore leave, in a strange port.

FF is dead. I have buried it. It is a painful memory whose name does not deserve to be mentioned.

I have Thunderbird up and running on one of my Oracle Linux Virtual Machines.

I enabled the FiltaQuilla extension, because I want to save message attachments automatically to a local filesystem, and then run a backend script against those saved attachments.

Everything appears to be configured correctly.

The email filter is working sporadically. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. It is not consistent.

It does not seem to work immediately, and it does not seem to work when I try to manually run it.

But, if I leave my computer for a little while and come back, the saved files will magically appear, "somehow", but only sporadically.

Even though the filters appear to be enabled, they are not being kicked off when the new messages arrive.

I currently have 3 options in place, in the "Filter Rules" window:

"Manually Run", "Getting New Mail: Filter before Junk Classification" and "Periodically, every 10 minutes".

I wish there was an option to "Run with each new message received".

I set a "Subject Contains" filter, and that is my only filter.

Then I tried both "Detach Attachments To" and "Save Attachments To", but neither of them seems to be working properly.

For a brief few minutes, I attempted to combine "Move message to folder", but it moves the message immediately, before the first filter has a chance to save it to the local filesystem.

When you have different actions in mind, there MUST be a way to prioritize each action, so that the first option MUST complete successfully, before attempting to complete the second, and subsequent actions.

In my case, I need to save the attachments to the local machine, before removing or moving the message.

So, if action number one completes successfully, it goes on to complete the second action.

If action number one fails, it stops all processing of future steps, so that the failure can be debugged.

I really need a solution to the saving of attachments to local filesystems (This is in Linux).

Windows 10 thunderbird 91.13.1 (I know ... out of date, but I tried a newer version last year and hated it.) My special address book sub categories don't work as they used to. I used to be able to right click on one of them and I got a choice to add all the entries in to a BCC field. This was great for forwarding things to a list of people with a common interest, but without sharing their addresses with all of the other recipients. It just quit doing this. If there is no easy solution, I guess I'll have to man up and upgrade! Many thanks for your volunteer work! Jack

Is there some way that I can nullify the format changes in the v128.x message list, compared to v115.x, so that my UserChrome.css tweaks that are functioning well in v115.x are not broken? Perhaps there are some new Config flags that might be set? I hate to have to redo a bunch of carefully calibrated work.

Sample of v115.15.0 message list included; I uninstalled v128, so I can't easily show a sample of that.
