My entire Firefox account has disappeared, bookmarks, passwords, email, history, everything. I shut down my Mac Airbook when I left town Tuesday, powered up when I got home today and when i clicked on my Firefox icon at the bottom of the page, a new, unrecognizable Firefox page appeared asking for a signon rather than my default page, my email. Can you help me recover everything? Lloyd

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP page reloads after losing and regaining focus! This bug makes it impossible to use FF for any tasks that require external authentication and is simply incredibly annoying!

Believe my T-bird account has somehow been corrupted. Takes forever to load on PC and always puts new emails in Trash folder. Often does not accept correct password. If I save / backup PROFILE, uninstall T-Bird and delete any Thunderbird folders on PC, if I restore per backup, will I be restoring the corrupted app. Don't want to loose email addresses, thousands of emails and email folder structure. Will a restore work? Thank you. Greg D

PS Version of T-Bird on laptop still puts all new email in Trash, but loads much more quickly, etc.

Deleted around 400 unread emails at one time, something not done before. Thunderbird shut down, now can not log in. Do not have backup password or two step authorization. Any hope for getting back in?

Couple of updates back, Firefox quit working as before on a particular webpage. See attached images. Describing the webpage, this is from an embedded server on a Burk Arc Solo radio transmitter monitoring and control system. Accessing the webpage allows control over the transmitters in addition to getting readings on the performance of the units. The Edge browser shows how it's supposed to look, meter names and data values, they self refresh and show changes dynamically. Why is the Firefox no longer doing this? Note: this is at a remote site using remote desktop to access the machine watching the Burk. The machine is Windows 11.

I can access my credit union using firefox on my phone, or even this computer when using MSN. I can NOT reach my credit union on this computer using firefox. I get a 403 forbidden message.

Hello, I apologize, I am uncertain if this is the appropriate place to post this topic. I am having significant difficulty with the forum system when we require assistance.

I have been using Thunderbird for over a year now, and I have wanted to stop using it since the first month of use. Several times a month, I am unable to send messages even though I haven't made any changes. The message keeps popping up: “The message failed to send. The message could not be sent because the connection to the outgoing server (SMTP) ”server name" failed. The server may be unavailable or refusing SMTP connections. Please check that your outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."

This is supposed to be my work email. I understand that ThunderBird is a volunteer platform. And that you do what you can, but I can't afford to be stuck like this for a “yes” or a “no.” You were highly recommended to me by my website host, and I regret it. I am no longer in contact with that person, so I can no longer get the assistance I needed several times a month to get the mailbox up and running again. However, I continue to receive mail at that address.

Is there a way to automatically transfer emails from ThunderBird to Proton Mail? If so, how do I do that, please?

Thank you.

I can't copy/paste the information in messages in some of my e-mails. How can I unblock these messages.

I can copy/past these messages using other e-mail applications.

I am at (jfcanfield@comcast.net)

I received this message: Unable to connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

I am not receiving new email. What do I need to do to get it working again?

I have vertical tabs enabled and the "expand when hovering mouse" option is activated (see screenshot). However, the latter functionality tends to glitch at some point in basically every session. I can't tell if a specific action triggers it, so far it seems pretty random. The glitch is that either the tabs are expanded and won't collapse, or the opposite: they're collapsed and refuse to expand when I point at them. Is this feature maybe still experimental? or something? I'm running Firefox 149.0b5 DEveloper Edition on Garuda Linux (Arch based).
