I installed Firefox years ago. This morning, when I click on the browser icon, I get this message: Error platform '127.0.2' is not compatible with minVersion>= 127.0.1 maxVersion<= 127.0.1

What is going on? The browser updates itself so I don't do anything. But now, it doesn't work. I use an alternate browser to send this message to you.

Dear team…

Please, please, pleeeeeease… Make the control elements for the expanding and collapsing the folders (see the attached picture) BIGGER. Much bigger! The small size of the elements is really, really, really pain in the *** (you know where).

Daily, it costs me painful loss of small amounts of time, which is (however) cumulating… Continuously it is hard to target them and after I miss them, I will lose my selection which is very frustrating. It is hard especially when I am connected through the Remote Desktop. I cannot explain it, but it is my daily experience, for months (if not years). Thank you! It would be very, very, very satisfying if someone would listen to me (in connection to this issue)… Thank you, again…

Recently changed broadband provider over to Kinex from Orange. Now we find that we are unable to send any e-mails whatsoever. We can still recieve e-mails. I have spoken to Kinex and changed our Outgoing Server so that according to them there should no longer be an issue but despite that we are still getting this error message when we try to send e-mails.

'Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.dslconnect.co.uk timed out. Try again.'

This is a business e-mail and we really do need normal e-mail functionality back as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

About 24 hours ago Thunderbird suddenly stopped downloading my emails. I rebooted a few times and still nothing. I went to email web version and my emails were coming in fine there. I read a bunch of articles here and went ahead and deleted my email account within Thunderbird with the intention to add it back in. Then I had password issues and had to call the email provider to reset my password. Now my password is fine, but when I go to add back in my account Thunderbird says it cannot verify the password. I went through several tests with the email provider's support and since I could log in everywhere I needed to with my password, and the only place it will not work is on Thunderbird itself, she concluded that I need to get support from Thunderbird as that is where the problem lies.

Of course there is no support for Thunderbird....and I am so frustrated at this point! I have been using Thunderbird forever! at least ten years or more...and this has never happened before. I really, really really don't want to switch my email client but I cannot seem to get this one to work all of a sudden anymore and if I cannot get it to work I need to find something that does. Can anyone help please?

Thunderbird has suddenly decided no matter what I do it is not responding. I cannot access my emails or do anything else. I became so desperate I decided to use Eudora BETA instead but that is just as bad. I have removed both programs from my computer but when I download and install Thunderbird it opens with all my old information but still I just get the message Not Responding (there must be something somewhere that has not totally removed the program I would think for this to keep occuring??). How do I fix this problem as it has become beyond frustrating.

My eyesight means the (stock) small font size of Thunderbird renders it unusable without using the excellent Font and Theme Size Changer (FTSC) .

Following the auto update to TB v 60.2.1, FTSC is disabled by Thunderbird giving me the message "...This add on is disabled as it's not compatible with TB 60.2.1..."

Is there any way I can roll back to the previous version of TB and then stop TB from updating.

For a while now, I've been having recurring issues with Firefox desktop freezing and becoming totally unresponsive. If there's any pattern to what causes it, I haven't been able to notice it; sometimes it happens as soon as I open the browser, sometimes it happens after several hours, sometimes it happens twice in ten minutes, sometimes it happens twice in a few hours (however, I can count the number of days it's happened less than twice in one day in the past few weeks on the fingers of one hand). When the browser freezes, it becomes totally unresponsive - it doesn't fade or display "Not Responding", and Task Manager shows nothing abnormal, but it doesn't accept any input at all, any video or other animated material that may have been displaying freezes, and it can only be "fixed" by force quitting from the task manager and reopening. This is exclusively a firefox issue; other programs open at the same time as the browser freezes are not affected.

The only real lead I have as to what could be going on is that sometimes, things don't freeze all at once, but in a cascading effect. For example, tabs, bookmarks, etc. might not highlight when moused over, but still accept the clicks, or selecting another tab might causes the address bar to display the URL of the selected tab, but the screen displayed in the window will not change. Once these cascading changes start, they generally progress to total freeze before I have a chance to do much with that information (only a few seconds), but it's unusual enough behavior to be worth noticing.

Things I've already tried that haven't fixed the issue:

  • Reducing the number of tabs used and otherwise reducing Firefox's system resource usage has not impacted the problem in any way.
  • Running in Troubleshoot Mode has not had a consistent effect on the problem (the most recent time I did, the browser ran stably for longer than I could stand to use the internet without my ad blocker, but this is only one data point in an already inconsistent spread; prior instances of the problem have occurred in Troubleshoot Mode)
  • Disabling hardware acceleration has not fixed the issue.
  • The issue has persisted through multiple refreshes and at least one full uninstall and clean reinstall.
  • The issue persisted after creating and switching to a new profile multiple times.
  • The issue persisted after renaming places.sqlite
  • The issue persisted after clearing cache and cookies multiple times.
  • The issue persisted after clearing downloads and history.
  • And very likely some other stuff that I'm forgetting, I've been trying to fix this on my own for a while now.

Folks:

I am running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro ,version 1511. I had been running Thunderbird 52.9.1 without any problems whatsoever. A few days ago, Thunderbird upgraded to 60.3.1. Thunderbird became unstable and unusable immediately upon start. Taskbar and Process Explorer showed that the program was running, but the window would not stay open or even stay stable.

I was able to use System Restore to revert to the previous version of Thunderbird, and although the calendar functionality is gone, it seems to work fine.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Not used Thunderbird for about a week as was away. On my return I am now getting duplicate downloads every-time I open Thunderbird on my desktop using Windows 10. I am on Thunderbird version 115.12.2. I have been using Thunderbird for a long time and this is the first time this happened.

I recreated the global-message-db.sqlite indexfile, turned off my anti-virus, compacted folders but nothing solved the problem.

However I did find a similar question on this site with a solution which wasn't exactly the same but lead me to investigate the Mail folder in my profile. I see I am getting duplicate pop.gmail.com folders (pop.gmail.com, pop.gmail-1.com, pop.gmail-2.com, etc.). I guess that is probably connected to the problem.

When I open Thunderbird I also get the message 'Connection to server pop.gmail.com was reset'.

Any help would be appreciated. I didn't want to delete any pop.gmail.com folders without expert advice.

Thank-you in advance.

My ISP, Cox, sent me a message that I have to change my POP server settings from:

port 110, Connection security: None, and Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely

to:

port 995, Connection security: SSL/TLS, and Authentication method: normal password

When I do this Thunderbird will not retrieve any new messages. The same changes work ok on two android devices, so I can see from them that there are new emails for Thunderbird to get, it's just not getting them. I tried changing one of my accounts back to the port 110 settings and that account now works again.

I tried contacting Cox about it but they stated that they don't support Thunderbird and referred me here.

Help?

This is a problem on my father's computer. I'm a computer tech, he is not. On MY computer, I haven't had this problem with Thunderbird 60, even though I also use Gmail (as well as other e-mail providers).

Immediately after Thunderbird updated itself to version 60, it would crash within 1-2 seconds of Thunderbird starting.

Troubleshooting: - Rebooted computer several times. - Starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode.

Still crashes.

I created a new Thunderbird Profile and set up his Gmail address using OAuth2. Successfully receiving e-mails with no crashes.

I exported his address books and calendars from the old profile, and imported into the new profile. Copied the Local Folders files manually from the old profile to the new. Got all the Thunderbird settings the way he likes. No crashes.

An hour later, Thunderbird starts crashing again. Now it only crashes when a new e-mail comes in.

Troubleshooting: - Rebooted computer. - Starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode. - Disabled filters.

Still crashing.

Submitted Thunderbird Crash Report with details and my father's e-mail address, which I will not put here in this public forum.

It's been nearly a year I think. A good six months, at any rate.

I filed a case on it about 3 months ago, but the "My Questions" list doesn't show it.

At the time, I was treated to an entire digest of how I was supposed to examine 100 tasks going on in my system to see if one of them was causing memory problems... As if!

But here's the thing:

  1. NO OTHER PROGRAM ON MY SYSTEM experiences the kind of stalls that Tbird sees,
      and they are all laboring under the same constraints.
  2. TBIRD STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING A MESSAGE -- TWO OR THREE TIMES, in some cases.
      That is a simple inability to grasp the concept of MULTI-TASKING in software.
      Background processes can stall all they want. Foreground processes should NEVER see them.
  3. TBIRD DOES NOT DOWNLOAD MESSAGES UNLESS AND UNTIL I AM USING IT.
      I can have it open on the desktop for as long as I want. But once I click in it, THEN I see the
      "downloading messages" alert. That too is a SIMPLE FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND MULTI-TASKING.
      If the program is running, it should have been downloading things in the background--not
      wait until I am attempting to use it to DO something.
 4. TBIRD SUPPORT APPARENTLY BELIEVES IT IS BEST TO BLAME THE USER.
     Again, a simple failure to understand the concept of multi-tasking is the root cause of the 
     problems I have been experiencing. But reporting the issue did no good whatsoever. 
     Instead, I was supposed to spend a day diagnosing memory issues -- "issues" that DO NOT
     AFFECT ANY OTHER PROGRAM on my computer.

So I gave up. I moved to Outlook. Sure enough, no stalls. Big relief. I have my inbox set up, and just imported my contacts. That just leaves a few years' worth of old messages I wish I could transfer. So I'll keep TBird installed, just to access those old messages, when I need them.

But as for daily use, no. It's history. I write this message to explain why, in hopes that someone will learn from it.
