Thunderbird is not synchronizing with Mailfence. My other email accounts (Outlook, Gmail) work fine. TB connects to them, downloads message headers and displays the number of messages correctly. With Mailfence, the messages stop at "connected to imap.mailfence.com" and stalls there. The message disappears after a few seconds and nothing else happens. This happened this morning when I first launched TB. I then got an update to 128.11.1. No change. I did receive the Windows Update 2025-06 Cumulative Update sometime overnight prior to launching TB.

The problem began when I was browsing Google maps through Firefox, it gave the prompt to view it through the Google maps app instead. Google maps needed an update, I was on low data mode, I got impatient and canceled that update, then somehow Firefox wasn't allowing me to finish a sentence in the search bar afterwards. Now it doesn't let me open new tabs, exit out of already open tabs, or access the browser settings without freezing for 3 seconds and going to the home screen.

I've updated Firefox to version 139.2, I've searched for some crash log information for iPhone 11 and didn't understand it too well (one suggested to search from Privacy and Security->Analytics and Improvements->Analytics data and to search for "client" but got nothing). I couldn't figure out what more to do with the app from my home screen or settings, I turned my phone off and on yesterday yet it still happened. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm not experienced with technical things and don't want to risk having my bookmarks or passwords be erased in any way.

IOS version is 18.4.1 if that helps.

I Tagged This Post Under The *SETTINGS* Topic, But I Believe That It Could Also Fall Under SeverL Other Topics Or Categories As Well Such As The Following: • ACCESSIBILITY • BROWSE or SEARCH • CONNECTIVITY • PRIVACY & SECURITY & I Must Say.... I Am Absolutely Loving The Firefox BETA Web Browser Thus Far & All The Different Settings & Security Features Available, But There Is Either A BUG, Or A Feature That Is Just Missing (for whatever reason) That I Feel Is A MUST HAVE Added Feature & NEEDS To Be Added, Implemented, & Supported Immediately For Users With Disabilities Such As Myself. I Am A U.S. Army Combat Veteran & Lost My Hands In Combat Due To An I.E.D (roadside bomb) & I Rely On Voice Texting To Be Able To Send Messages, Search, Stay Connected With My Community & Friends Online, & The Ability To Even Use A Smartphone Device With Relative Ease. The Gboard Functionality & Ease Of Use Along With The Instant Translations Of Languages , & Audio Translation Features Make My Phone Use Pretty Much As Good As Someone Who Has BOTH Of Their Hands Still. I Love Everything About The Extensions & Added Safety Features With Firefox & The BETA Is My GO TO Web Browser From Now On & That Will Doubtfully Ever Change. But, The Missing VOICE TEXT Will Definitely Change That Decision If It Is Not Implemented Soon, I NEED That Feature & Without It Then The Web Browsers Added Security Is Completely Useless For Me, Because I Won't Be Able To Work The Device On My Own Anymore. Just Like Now.... I'm Now Relying On My Wife To Type & Send My Messages For Me Due To The Missing Voice Text Capability, Which Is Just Not A Preferred Method Or One %hat Ik Willing To Stick With Permanently. She Doesn't Have Time To Take Care Of My Online Social Matters For Me & I Refuse To Ask Her To Do Such. So With That Being Said, Either Mozilla Firefox Needs To Add A Voice Texting Capability To It's Browser Settings Within The Veta Or Else I Will Be Forced To Discontinue It's Use. I Mean, Am I Just Over-Looking Some Sort Of Extension, Add On, Feature, Setting, Or Am I Right & There Isn't (me Available, Because I Prefer To Use The Gboard Due To It's Outstanding Functionality & I Noticed Anytime I Open A Tab Or Access The Firefox Beta Web Browser & Attempt To Either Search For Something, Or If I'm In A Public Chat Setting While Using The Browser, Then The Microphone 🎙️ & Voice Texting Capability & Logo Completely Disappears From My Gboard Keyboard & Is No Longer Accessible For Some Unknown Stupid Reason...??? Can Anyone Please Help Me??? It Would Be Greatly Appreciated.... 💜 Sincerely, Derek B. 💜

I love having the ability to group some of my tabs but I'm wondering if it's possible to create "subgroups" of tabs inside of a "group". For instance, it would be very confusing & even chaotic to have one tab group named "Computers" that has tabs for sites where I buy computers/parts/software, sites where I go to for support for my hardware/software issues, & sites where where I can read reviews about the up & coming new hardware/software. However, the chaos would go away if I could have 3 tab subgroups (Shopping, Support, & News) UNDER a "top level" tab named "Computers".

From what I've been able to find on the Firefox website, this capability is not yet available but I'm wondering if it's something that's currently in development. If not, I would like to suggest that it be seriously considered. I realize that some people could take this kind of capability to the extreme, with hundreds of tabs organized using multiple "sub-tiers" & trying to develop something to support the extreme cases would be a nightmare. However, the ability to even two levels (groups & 1 level of subgroups) would be a HUGE improvement over the current situation.

When I try to go to costco.ca I get a connectivity error saying site cannot redirect properly. This site works with IE or other browsers.


The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

This REALLY shouldn't be this hard. Created a TB profile backup (see subject) from my LAPTOP. Copied it to c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles on DESKTOP. Trying to open TB, I get error: Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible

Must be something I'm doing wrong. Been on the interweb for 2 hours trying to get this accomplished. Tried everything I could find. Unsuccessful. Can someone help?

As an aside, c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird entry is MISSING from my laptop. Can't find the profile directory. TB opens fine on the laptop, so profiles directory is available to TB, but NOT to me. Where would the profile directory be stored on the LAPTOP?
