Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble with/after installing Firefox ESR.

I'm using the installer from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/128.5.1esr/win64/en-US/

The behavior that I am seeing is that after running the installer, although it seems that there is no error, the process goes through without issues, there is no executable for the app itself in the folder. The shortcut that is created on Desktop is also not linked to an executable that works.

Have you encountered this before? If so, do you have any ideas or tips on how I can manage it? Or, if you have any information that I am missing, please let me know.

Thanks.

Good morning.

I have been using Thinderbird portable for years with no issues, but I now have an issue I've never had before.

I have a BTinternet email address and it is now constantly asking or my password.

I have remember password ticked when I put the password in. When I go to passwords in it, the passwords stored for IMAP and SMTP are correct. I have removed the passwords, restarted and then reinput passwords as asked it to save. I have removed my account and reinstalled. I have deleted the entire program etc and reinstalled and still the same problem.

This doesn't happen when I use Outlook (So don't think it is my btinternet account).

Any Ideas greatly received.

Thanks

I work on a lot of different sites, and have about 120 Wholesale supply websites.

When I ask Google to save Log In details, I open the Supplier Page, and my details are already filled, and I just press log in and continue ordering.

With Firefox, I am having to do one of two things: 1. Open the Settings, Open Privacy & Security, and press the Save Passwords tick box EVERY SINGLE TIME - it does NOT stay ticked. I then have to KEEP THE TAB OPEN for it to be effective. 2. Or - I type in my ENTIRE emails address, find my passwords book, and type in the pertinent password for that site.

I much prefer to use Firefox, as I find Google invasive and controlling, but would very much like this problem to have a solution, please.

Email errors started occurring on or about November 25, 2024. Multiple calls and tech support with Spectrum techs and hours of troubleshooting brought about O results. I obtained all necessary protocols for configuring email to Spectrum requirements and for sending and receiving, but I still get outgoing errors. I have been using Thunderbird for 5 years or more now and never had any issues until now. Upon inspection through Thunderbird tools/setting/ looking at "SAVED" passwords, I no longer see "IMAP" or "MAIL" access protocols. It was there previously. I also disabled all my firewall and vpn settings and still cannot send out any emails. I have thoroughly checked out both my personal email setting and my small business email settings and everything as it relates to Spectrum is correct. Spectrum said one thing they found was that the email settings (specifically, would not resolve with the server because of a syncing problem). Spectrum did all they could to resolve on their end, but the issues, as they see it now resides on the Thunderbird side. In an effort to resolve the issues, the Spectrum tech looked and looked for a phone number for Thunderbird and said this is the first time he has never found a number that one can call for some sort of assistance. Emails directly to Thunderbird are very, very slow. And to compound the issue, there are no lists I could find is a repository for error codes and no valuable tech support or specifications could be found that provides any real help for resolution. So now I am making a last ditch effort to contact Thunderbird for a one on one phone conversation that will resolve all the issues I have encountered. Hopefully with your immediate reply, we can resolve these issues and I will be able to help others resolve these same issues. These issues are not just isolated to me. There are literally hundreds maybe even thousands of people out there with the same issues. PLEASE contact me asap. Thank you for your time. (PS. I do receive some messages via email, but sending out is the issue)

Dear Mozilla, My 27" iMac crashed suddenly on Wednesday last week (when I wasn't actually using it) and would not boot up. A message referred me to Apple and I made an appointment in Glasgow to take my Mac for the repair. I plugged my Mac in before I left - and it recovered itself!

However all my Thunderbird emails, files and settings have totally disappeared! Apparently a Thunderbird update is responsible. I have spent hours on the phone trying to get help. I have spent hours with CHATDGP talking me through stuff. The data seems to be on my machine but whatever I do I can't get Thunderbird to work. I am at my wits end. I have all my work files in Thunderbird and have no access to anything.

This is the second time recently that my Thunderbird files have vanished. I had to pay an expert to come to my house and restore the first time, but he is very ill at the moment and unable to leave home.

Please help me. I would be very grateful to have my Thunderbird back and working correctly. I am on macOS Monterey, version 12.7.6 (21h1320).

kind regards Helen 07836 707504 UK

Hello, since I installed the latest update of Firefox (133.0) two days ago I'm having trouble to load videos on some websites it's giving me a black screen when I try loading them so i'd like to know if anybody knows how I could fix this ? I tried clearing cookies, cache and resetting the browser and it still doesn't work.

I know this problem has been caused by the latest firefox update (133.0) because all my videos are loading fine on both Chrome and Explorer but i'd like to keep Firefox so if anyone has an idea how I could fix this it would be very appreciated thanks!

Ever since the new version of Thunderbird I cannot send emails. I can receive them but not send them. I have found that if I temporarily disconnect my VPN, it sends OK. Your failure to provide software that can co-exist with a VPN without crapping itself is a poor advertisement for your product. I have read some of the millions of posts about this particular bug and your answers seem smug and lazy without addressing the problem.
