I had moved the .thunderbird folder and created a symlink. It worked, but was slow, and sometimes had issues. Regardless, at some point, something got corrupted and it ask me to create a new account rather than showing all my old ones. I was able to import into seamonkey and it has all my accounts and folders. Thunderbird has the emails e.g. if I search it will pop, but the accounts/folders aren't showing. I might have updated Thunderbird as well but I can't tell you if that was part of me trying to fix or before, possibly a cause?

%du -h --max-depth=0 .mozilla/seamonkey/5acxdfjg.default 9.2G .mozilla/seamonkey/5acxdfjg.default %du -h --max-depth=0 .thunderbird/68hg5gdd.default-release 21G .thunderbird/68hg5gdd.default-release

I need to get this fixed. I don't want to move either profile completely as I don't have a large drive anyway and now, many of the emails are duplicated. Can I try replacing files? Which file(s) hold account info... even if I try importing...I need to avoid moving emails.... I'll just run out of room...maybe it was while updating... I just don't know it's been a few days...

Can someone confirm that the default-release directory ...is the profile directory? This help isn't organized well, so searching brings up old answers that may or may not be valid for my release. I know, I have the information and I don't want to start over...

After applying the latest updates to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS today, I find that ThunderBird will load and then enter a busy state where the system asks if I want to terminate or wait for ThunderBird.

After waiting quite some time, it is apparent that perhaps it is in vain. I have tried a few different versions: The initially installed: 115.5.0 The latest: 121.0b1 and previous: 115.4.3

All seem to exhibit similar behavior with my previously working profile.

The program loads, the preview screen draws, an open tab appears to try to load, and a few seconds after launch, things hang up.

Anyone else noticing issues?

My thunderbird works okay, but when I select emails from imbox folder to delete it takes too long. I researched to find the problem and the only option I found was to add an exclusion to the profile folder on my windows security antivirus. Now I can select emails from the imbox and delete them without a problem, but my concern is if I will be vulnerable to virus.

Hello

I had no issues with Coudflare and Thunderbird until I installed an Origin Certificate on my server. Now Thunderbird can't fetch emails. I can send emails but a copy isn't saved the Sent folder (see attached). It seems it can't communicate with mail.learnmuscles.com

For the moment I need to go to Webmail to access emails.

I normally trust your updates but I'm really regretting this one. Can you help me not switch over to chrome? Maybe you're already aware of this bug and will have it fixed soon.

I am running Firefox v 120.0 (64bit) on Windows 10 Pro version 22H2 OS build 19045.3570 and today Firefox has stopped playing the video track on youtube videos or any video that is embedded in a page. Audio works but the screen just shows a blank field of green. The progress bar will show frames from the video. IF I run Firefox in trouble shooting mode the videos play as normal with video and audio tracks.

I have already refreshed fire fox and uninstalled and reinstalled it but the video track is still a blank field of green in both full screen and small screen modes.

Anyone have any ideas on what configuration setting may be causing this? Thanks in advance, Brocky

I am getting fed up with YouTube and the issues it has with Firefox. I'm having to use Microsoft Edge to watch videos. I've done the 3 resets it says on the support page, but still have the issue. Many thanks for getting back to me.

Firefox on my android phone times out on any webpage whenever I am not connected to a Wi-Fi. All webpages and IP addresses timeout with no response. Same issue occurs on Firefox Beta app and Firefox Nightly. All other applications work as expected with full internet access on mobile data. The same pages/addresses respond as expected on Chrome and the built-in browser.

Simply put, all Firefox apps have no internet connectivity on mobile data.

Solutions I've attempted with no success or change: Re-install Firefox. Logging out of Firefox Sync. Clear Firefox data and cache. Disabling tracking protection. Disabling HTTPS-only mode. No proxy settings are enabled. Confirmed Firefox application has mobile data network privileges. Disabling, re-enabling mobile data network privs. Installing Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly; same issue.

Another possibly related issue: Firefox does not follow routes from a Cisco AnyConnect VPN on my phone. Opening pages/IP addresses routed through the VPN are rejected or timeout as if the VPN is not active at all. The same pages/addresses respond as expected on Chrome and the built-in browser. This occurs over Wi-Fi as well, of course nothing works on mobile data as described above.
