In the latest version 148, the moment I enter the login credentials for a second Yahoo account and click continue, Thunderbird simply copies the mail folders from the first Yahoo account and does not show the mails/folders for the second yahoo account. This is despite the fact that Thunderbird displays the correct name for the second Yahoo account as well as the correct username for the second Yahoo account in the account settings. I have tried: 1. Setting the 'mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser" to True in the Config Editor. 2. Deleting and adding the second Yahoo account after restart of Thunderbird as well as restart of the PC. 3. Manually configuring the account settings while adding the second Yahoo account.

Please advise what else I can try. Thanks and Regards

How do I setup Thunderbird to accept this change? My current email addresses are: rdg_tech@comcast.net germainr@comcast.net

In addition I have AT&T as my internet provider and they set me up with a Yahoo email address that I do not use: acsl700a@att.net

In advance Thank You! Richard Germain

I do not use auto rotate to switch to landscape format but the manual rotate button which shows up when you disable auto rotate. When i play a video in the Firefox Browser on Android and rotate with the button it rotates to landscape. When I then play a video (for example on youtube, but not only there) and open it in fullscreen and go out off fullscreen and want to rotate back to portrait the button just does not appear and i am stuck in portait format. I need to close Firefox and start it again for it to work properly again.

I hope I am right in asking for help here since this problem does not occur with Chrome but if I am wrong please tell me where to ask for help.

Dear people at Mozilla Thunderbird Email: Please STOP sending me emails to solicit access to my Google account. I receive enough junk mail without these solicitations; be decent and erase me from your list. I will appreciate that, instead to being irritated with the continuous pop-ups you are sending me.

In gratitude, Taruno Vega🙂 [edited from public] @coastside.net

I keep losing my passwords in Firefox. I attempt to save a password withe the drop down menu, after checking I see that it is save but a short time later the password is no longer there! I have all the box's checked to save passwords but again they are no longer there! Any help would be most appreciated, Thank you T Wolf

Four accounts: Rogers Yahoo, Office365, GMX, and a second Yahoo account

When Thunderbird recently asked to access to my provider's server, I gave my Rogers Yahoo account and password; everything looked fine. But when I tried to use my second Yahoo email account, all the folders contained the same data as the Rogers Yahoo account, even though the email addresses were different; my original emails were gone from the Inbox and other folders.

So I began to follow the instructions in Mozilla's page "OAuth2 Authentication for Yahoo, AOL and ATT". 1) with Config Editor, changed "mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser" to TRUE 2) checked for "Accept cookies from sites" in Privacy & Security settings 3) checked authentication settings: All Outgoing servers were set to "OAuth2", as well as Yahoo and Office365 incoming servers. The GMX incoming server was set at "Normal Password" with no option for "OAuth2". 4) I am in Canada and do not use VPN. 5) Finally, I deleted the second Yahoo account (tc2002ca) and all its data from Thunderbird. I logged into Yahoo! Mail online to make sure I had the correct password. I then added tc2002ca as a new account using manual configuration. I entered all the settings to match the Rogers Yahoo account, except (of course) the password which was associated with the tc2002ca account. The result: same as before - all the folders of this account were identical to the Rogers Yahoo account.

To summarize, all the settings in the two Yahoo accounts were the same (imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com) except the passwords. When I "tested connection to server" in each case it came back "Successful". Please help me get back to having two Yahoo accounts in Thunderbird, as I have had for years. By the way, I have had no problem using SeaMonkey in a similar way. Thanks!

I have been using Thunderbird for ages now with no problem, but I suddenly realised that no recent emails were appearing from my Gmail account. I have tried everything suggested on line to resolve the problem, including uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, and deleting and re-entering my acccount details but neither the IMAP or SMTP servers will connect to Gmail. I have reset all of the server settings on Thunderbird, and have checked that Gmail is IMAP compliant (which, apparently, is is now automatically). I have spent hours trying to sort this out and am just at the point of abandoning Thunderbird completely, but I am loathe to do so if there is a solution. The latest error message i have received is "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" but I don't know what else I can check or change.

Hi I am new to Thunderbird -previously used gmail. I have installed Thunderbird and it recieves mails as it should, but the mails only stay in the inbox for short time and then disappears ?

If I read the mail then I can find it in read mails, but the mails also disappears from that folder?

Must be a setting problem, but cannot figure it out.

Please help

I use Thunderbird with AOL. I have a separate Yahoo email independent of Thunderbird. Do I need to do anything with respect to Thunderbird switching to OAuth2 with PKCE?

I've selected to delete my history on quit. However, when I subsequently reopen Firefox, I've found that under 'History' all my previously closed tabs are saved. Why is this? Why isn’t *all* my browsing history deleted on quit?

Gentili Signori, Sempre più spesso, quando si aprono le pagine di pagamento online, il browser non è più in grado di visualizzare correttamente la selezione dei metodi di pagamento o il layout complessivo della schermata di checkout. Questo sta diventando piuttosto frustrante, dato che sono un fedele utente di Firefox da molti anni. Tuttavia, questo problema mi sta spingendo a scegliere un browser che funzioni davvero, come Google Chrome, cosa che trovo piuttosto fastidiosa. Ci sono chiaramente aggiornamenti mancanti e lacune tecniche che stanno diventando sempre più profonde e evidenti, il che mi porta a credere che il vostro progetto non venga più aggiornato con la costanza che dovrebbe avere. Ciò è particolarmente preoccupante considerando che il vostro cliente più importante è proprio Google, che vi paga per rimanere in vita. Grazie.

I would like to ask why you still have to enforce the ADguard ban after you have withdrawn from the China branch. Your competitor, the Edge, can be used for advertising. Why is the ban still not lifted?

Firefox won't load google or youtube. In my gmail spam folder I keep getting emails stating "payment declined cloud storage full".

Firefox not responding. I have tried everything on the Help pages. I have tried reset of everything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from scratch. Still: when I open it: Firefox does not respond. And everything else also is very slow then. In Windows joblist I can see Firefox with 7-15 threads. One of them "not responding". I have no problems with Chrome nor Edge - W11, 16GB Ram

I am just an average end user and want to alert you to my problems and would love a solution. I am sorry that I don't have the kind of specificity in the details which might help (I am too busy doing other things and when firefox becomes too much of a pain, I generally close it and switch to another browser). I am providing my general observations. On my updated windows 10 64 bit system, firefox v148 seems to have made the browser unusable for me. Other browsers do not suffer similarly (Chrome, Edge, Opera, duckduckgo). I have had these types of issues with Firefox in the past, but they resolved with prior updates. I am at the point of switching to another browser - I hate the thought of it, but Chrome seems to be the most stable and functional. Symptoms:

• Firefox browser and the computer gradually become slower as firefox starts hogging cpu and memory and starts using a lot of power
• extensions stop working - eg, Keeper extension stops filling fields or fills incorrectly, Malwarebytes extension seems less responsive, running background sounds makes things even worse (https://www.mynoise.net/) and web pages with continuous updates (eg, map.purpleair.com) stop working altogether
• other pages stop loading, load with errors ('bad connection') or load very slowly, especially, but not always, those with more security, eg, my bank or retirement funds sites.
• after i close Firefox and start fresh, symptoms resolve, then rinse and repeat.

The previous version worked great and seemed to solve similar issues I have had with earlier releases. I assume the last stable release for me was one of the 147 versions. but when things are going well (which is most of the time), I'm not watching closely, or at all.
