As of today, I am unable to scroll with my mouse in google sheets. The scroll bar on the right disappears and I'm taken to the bottom of the spreadsheet and can't scroll back up. I have to use CTRL+Home and then the arrow keys to go down the rows. This appears to be only on Firefox. I tried a different browser and it worked fine.

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick

I have two Google (yes, Google, not gmail) accounts. When setting up my gmail in Thunderbird, I was prompted to enter the Google account. I have entered the wrong one. Consequently, I cannot access my gmail: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I have tried all ways I have found in this forum to get rid of it again, such as editing the prefs file, but to no avail.

How can I remove the Google account from the Thunderbird settings to be able to insert the new one?

Thanks for your help in advance, Matt

Hello, I use TB intensely, and I have donated for its use. A week ago it automatically upgraded to esr, and since then, my search function has been essentially disabled. When I search the inbox or the all files, the program freezes for 10 minutes after I enter the first letter. It works fine when I search the sent messages. The software seems to prioritize message downloads and may be searching my google mail server rather than the downloaded messages. I tried without internet, and the delay is the same. I have windows 10. My husband's laptop remained in version 115, and it works fine. Please fix this bug urgently. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hi, I've received the email below from Microsoft today.

I have 15 email accounts linked to Thunderbird mail and use up to 5 of them daily. Sometimes 'instant' communications on one or more of my accounts can be important.

Will Thunderbird mail still function in the same way from 16th September?

I apologise if this question has been answered somewhere else. I searched but could not find it.


"The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods."

Need to get address books from partial profile backup after Windows failure

Hi. My windows 10 PC failed to boot a few days ago and after a long period of trying to salvage it, I wound up having to reset the Windows OS on it (Go figure) and that of course resulted in the loss of all of my 3rd party software and applications.

I have since restored the PC and and the My Thunderbird email software. I did have a backup of my profile of sorts from a few months ago when I was forced to migrate email ISP companies from Cox Communications to Yahoo when Cox left the email industry last spring. I say 'of sorts' because I only kept the file structure from the actual profile down vice from Thunderbird down. And even if I had done that, it wouldn't work well since I copied out the profile before the switch to Yahoo, so the email accounts have the old Cox server info not the current Yahoo ones.

I have come to terms with the email loss and I did take the opportunity to switch from POP3 to IMAP something I have been meaning to do for a while now. And I was able to copy over the Local Folders , so it's not all gloom and doom. But what I really need to get is the address book. I have tired to import it using the "import from another Thunderbird Installation" but that ended with an error condition. Is it possible to copy the address book from one profile to another?

Oh and one last thing, Thank you for the ISP configuration data base that T'bird used to auto-configure the IMAP server setups. It made life much easier.

Thanks for any help. Respectfully Mark B.

I am trying to setup proxy server for Firefox 106.0 on my Windows 11 Laptop. I have Windows 11 setup to provide system proxy settings to a local intranet squid proxy server at port 3128 with a configuration file. With this setup both google chrome and Microsoft Edge find the proxy and correctly utilize it. when I use Firefox and watch the squid logs the proxy is bypassed when settings are set for "use system proxy settings, no proxy, automatic proxy configuration url" If i set to manual proxy configuration it works.

My router address with extensions is xx.xx.xx.xx/#/login. My previous router was xx.xx.xx.xx/cgi-bin/MANGA/index.cgi. When I type the IP address without anything after it, the URL entry changes from the new address to the old one every couple of seconds. I can't log into the router because it keeps changing. I disabled URL autocomplete, but it doesn't change it. Whenever I enter the address, it still completes with first the correct and then the incorrect URL.

How do I stop this? Thanks in advance.

Hi! Using about:config and adding a couple of lines of codes to userchrome css and usercontent css I managed to remove the calendarbutton, the tasks button aswell as the chat button from the spaces toolbar on the left. I really want to to the same with the hide toolbar for tabs menu button furthest down on the page, how do I do that? Another thing I really also would like to do is stop the contacts button from opening a new page, instead I think it should just switch from the email page to the contact one, not open a new. Is there any way of doing this?

Really gratefull if I can get some help with this! Thanks!
