Yesterday Thunderbird worked just fine. This morning I tried to respond to several emails and got this error message: Sending of the message failed '"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: [VO=1] Message blocked due to spam content in the message. Please check the message and try again."

There was no spam in the person's email... just text.

Next I tried to send a freshly created email with just a YouTube video... then the last half of the error message said: An error occurred while sending: RBL restriction: Blacklisted by Internal Reputation Service - 195.181.168.179

As of a few days ago whenever I start Firefox the window appears with the Bookmarks sidebar panel already opened. I click the "X" on the sidebar and it will close - until the next time I start Firefox. If I choose Menu->View->Sidebar->Bookmarks and uncheck it the panel will close - until the next time I start Firefox. No matter how the Bookmarks sidebar is closed, it will always reappear when Firefox is restarted. Even if I switch to some other sidebar, Bookmarks will replace it on startup.

I've searched about:config and found no setting which seems to control sidebar behavior on startup.

I assume this is the result of some recent update. Is there no longer a way to permanently disable the Bookmarks sidebar?

Von der Erstinstallation war ich gewohnt, dass von oben nach unten die Darstellung der Ordner wie folgt war: Posteingang / Entwurf / Gesendet / Archiv / Spam / Papierkorb / Local Folders /Postausgang / Unbekannt Nach der neuen Installation, die erforderlich war (Rechnerneuinstallation) ergab sich folgendes Bild von oben... Lokale Ordner / Papierkorb / Local Folders und dann alle meine selbst erstellten Ordner am Ende dieser Aufstellung kam die Zeile mit meiner web-Adresse xxxx.xx@web.de dann Posteingang usw. siehe oben aufgeführt Damit liegt der Posteingang am Ende meiner Ordner Auflistung und das ist über den unteren Monitorausschnitt hinaus, diese Situation ist für mich untragbar und deshalb werde ich wohl auf ein anderes e-mail Verwaltungsmedium umsteigen müssen. Eine Kopiermöglichkeit um die Ersteinstellung zu erreichen war kläglich gescheitert und jetzt ist das Durcheinander noch größer beste Grüße B. Bein

Hello, Sorry to disturb but its been two days and I am unable to access my Google accounts (work and private) through Firefox in anyway. I have done all the basic fixes I can think of but with no success. I have deleted caches, checked plug ins, rebooted Firefox went through the trouble shooting mode, followed advice in the community forum, tried logging in from Google linked accounts. Spoke to our internal IT support at work but nothing has solved the issue as yet, spoke to Google support.

My assumption is that it has to be the browser as I am able to log into google with another browser but Firefox is my preferred browser and would like to use it again as such.

Please advise.

Thank you Cait

I am trying to whitelist a domain name. TB won't let me do that. This company has a plethora of emails. I don't want to whitelist every single one of them. That would take me days. It is impractical. I want to whitelist the domain name which is concentrix.com. I want to ensure that all emails coming from that domain name land on the inbox folder. How can I do that on TB?

Hi all,

I have tried on K9, and Thunderbird Mobile.

On my tablet, with K9 mail, I exported my fully working accounts, and imported to my phone. All worked, except one account, where it only has an outbox. No inbox, no sent folder, nothing.

I then Installed Thunderbird mobile, and used the QR code link in the desktop app, to sync to it. Same issue. All other accounts work fine, but not that one account. Only an outbox.

I've logged into the web version of that account, and no restrictions are on folders. And it's only on my phone. On tablet it's fine.

I can't even choose folders in settings, for sent, etc, as there are none to choose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am using Firefox nightly on Android. About two weeks ago I noticed that my toolbar got moved to the bottom after some update, while address bar is still at the top. I tried looking for it in settings but couldn't find anything about toolbar, that's weird since I was able to customize it a few years ago when I installed Firefox for the first time. So I looked it up on the internet and they say that it's in Settings/Customize/Toolbar, but in my browser settings instead of Toolbar there is Address bar settings. Has toolbar's settings been moved somewhere else? It looks like in previous versions it was under Customize section.

I have loved FF desktop browser since I started using it per my boss in 2003. But I am so tired of the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME you put out an update it breaks my access to the bank. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I waste HOURS reading articles, calling the bank IT dept, chatting with people who are on 3 calls at once, only to hear them tell me to "just use chrome." I clear the cookies, clear the cache, reboot, follow all the prompts in the settings and THEN the damned bank server doesn't recognize the device so it forces yet ANOTHER password change. It happened again TODAY and it makes me so sad but I cannot do it anymore. I am STILL now (going on 4 hours) trying to access the billpay page @ Xantanderbank. (ahem, secure codename) I am forced now, by this craziness, to use the imbecilic duckduckgo which is A) and offensive name and b) you KNOW it nowhere near the product you have built but I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE. Thank you for the time it takes to read this diatribe. I appreciate it.

I just got a new computer running windows 11 pro. I downloaded Thunderbird, which I used on my old computer(windows 11), and followed the steps to set up my email. I know my email address and password are correct as well as the server settings and I keep getting the following error "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password". My email is .verizon.net which is handled by AOL. My husband also uses Thunderbird and verizon email and I checked the configuration against his computer and everything matches. I was able to get my gmail account added so it must be something with aol or windows 11 pro. Any help is appreciated.

How to change home page and new tab to desired URL or any extension of Firefox desktop in 2025?

I am unable to find any way to change how my new tab should look when I click + sign or new tab is opened up on browser opening or re-opening unlike Chrome.

I hate the change of position of typing from the search bar on the current new tab to the URL bar (unseen or unheard in Chrome) that Firefox implemented without considering users who would detest it.

When is Firefox (across devices) going to bring "Tab Groups" in-built in 2025 as it is difficult to ditch Chrome esp., if it is related to work or research and similar tabs are opened up?

I have to rely on chrome and edge for same and both have not only brought it but improved it considerably. Also, chrome has not brought for mobile devices so grouping of tabs is more easy and simple but when I look at Firefox and Firefox based browsers, I see nothing of that thing present. The addon esp., Simple Tab Groups (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/) is unreliable (see reviews).

If Firefox want us to use their browser and as default, they should see why we are using Chrome and Edge (latter, having vertical tabs in-built, also).

I hope 2025 is a year Firefox learns of how to retain users across devices. Currently Firefox is more from 2005.

Browser Choice Alliance wont be helpful if browsers like Firefox dont see users and their reviews and posts and issues reported. "https://browserchoicealliance.org/"

3 years post and still no work, and Firefox wants us to use their browser over Chrome and Edge. Why? And how?
