Hi. I have Thunderbird installed on my Galaxy S25 phone and Galaxy Tab S8 tablet. If I send an email from either of those 2 devices 2 copies of the same message appear in the 'Sent Items' folder. Two messages also appear in the 'Sent Items' folder of Outlook on my PC. If I send a message from Outlook on my PC only 1 message appears (as it should do). Is there something that can be done to correct this so that the message only appears once? Kind regards, Paul Goddard

I have imap-email accounts with too many folders I have created. I wanted to reduce the folders' amount and move mails between folders. crtl-a selects all mail in a folder, then with the right click menu of the mouse copy or move etc. It just does not do that. Only a small amount of mails is transferred. Same with grab and move to the folder. I then tried to move the mails to a local folder, delete them and move them from the local folder to the destination. Same problem. They would not move to the local folder. Is there any configuration limiting the intended moves?

Hello. In the past two days I lose my tabs when I shut down Firefox. I used to be fine using the X at the top right and when I restarted the browser, all my tabs would still be there. Then they started going missing, so I started using the menu option to exit the browser. The tabs still went missing.
Then I noticed the square icon button on the extreme left and have discovered that Firefox has different windows, and that one of them (see attached image) has all my tabs in it, while the current window does not.
I cannot change Window 2 to be the current window. There is no obvious function on the page, nothing in settings and google is useless - I just get pages of discussion of how to tab between different apps on the desktop.
How do I make Window 2 the current window? See image.
Thank you

Okay - was trying to find a way to reduce clutter in the menus (typically done by removing unused buttons); so I saw an option to edit the menu bar that appeared above my message window. Instead of editing the items in the bar, it closed the controls completely and as far as I can tell permanently. I can't find anything in settings related to this once-upon-a-time feature. And the button I was trying to remove is still there.
As to what to call this control - no clue; it is the "filer" row of buttons above messages - and was a control or two to the right of the buttons [Unread] [Starred] [Contact] ... . It was a funny icon, and another funny icon that hinted they allowed editing the items on the bar -- one option was a toggle to hide/unhide the bar, the second option had a few more choices if I recall right, but clicking it hid the entire hide/unhide and second control.
How do I get those back without a full system "restore settings to default" which essentially nukes my install.
See image for location of now missing controls.

I've never had sponsored shortcuts and suddenly today I've got them. I've attempted the disable the "sponsored shortcuts" on my desktop however its greyed out.
Starting state - Shortcuts selected, sponsored selected and grey Procedure: 1.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan 2.) Click sponsored, it becomes grey again 3.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan (again) 4.) Click sponsored, it appears deselected 5.) Hit refresh and it returns to starting state
I do not edit my GPO or registry, settings are not controlled by an organization, I am not confusing sponsored shortcuts with pinned search engines.

My wife's computer has problems printing from Thunderbird. Trying to print produces a message that says, "Your printer has experienced an unexpected configuration problem. 0x800706ba".
I thought the problem was related to her old printer, a Brother black-and-white laser printer, so I bought a new Epson ET-2800 series color printer, but the same message appears.
I have found a workaround. If I go to Settings in Thunderbird, clear the cache, and restart the computer, it will print on the next try, but later the same error message will appear on attempts to print. I have selected the "Clear cache at shutdown" option in Settings, but that doesn't help. The cache still has to be cleared manually.
I can print a test page with no problem, and I can print from other applications, so I assume that the difficulty is related to something in Thunderbird.
I might add that I use Thunderbird on my computer. Fortunately that problem has not arisen on it.
Suggestions for solving this problem will be appreciated.

Hi, I want to disable the "Thought-provoking stories" shortcuts from the home / new tab page on Android.
Following the other forum posts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hide-pocket-recommendations-firefox there should be a switch for "Thought-provoking stories" under Settings - Homepage - Shortcuts, but I don't see it. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

Is the filter log file accessible directly anywhere? It'd be useful to use a text editor app in order to use a different font, reverse the display order and use text search tools etc. Sure I could copy/paste into a text editor each time but that's a bit laborious each time the log changes.

I am having the same issue as this other user here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/17wvuwh/help_pinning_extension_in_firefox_with_gpo/
Preliminaries -- Initially (before trying to force-pin), I had these GPOs enabled:
Extensions to Install -> https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4410896/bitwarden_password_manager-2024.12.4.xpi
Prevent extensions from being disabled or removed ->
(Those GPOs above all work.)
What I'm trying to do: Force-pin Bitwarden.
I believe I've followed the documentation correctly (except for not including a "*" case): https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#extensionsettings
I've enabled this GPO with this value:
Extension Management ->
{
"{446900e4-71c2-419f-a6a7-df9c091e268b}": { "default_area": "navbar" }
}
After running various "GPUpdate"s and whatnot, the option to uncheck "Pin to toolbar" is still available to click.
I've verified in "about:policies#active" that the JSON item appears next to "ExtensionSettings" and that there are no errors listed in the "Errors" tab.
I've also verified that it appears in the correct location in the Registry.
Since another user had the same issue (Reddit link above), I figured it'd be a good idea to check in with y'all to see if we are missing something.
Thanks for your help!
Is there a checkbox somewhere to stop the transfer?

Hi all.. I find that other apps regularly prompt me to "unlock Firefox" when I get to a point in them that requires keyboard input. I attach a screenshot of the problem, one in Bluemail and one in MS Excel. I am unable to remove the prompt - by a long press or short - until I type some characters, often a number of characters. Then the prompt disappears. The keyboard is SwiftKey, and I have asked them but they say it's not them. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance. P

I have 3 Google calendars added to Thunderbird. After every startup I get a popup with the Google authorization page for every calender asking me to authorize access. I already tried removing all Calendars, cleaning the cache, resetting all calendar/google related settings in the config editor and readding teh calendars.
Is there a way to avoid the reauthorizations after each startup and have Thunderbird access permanently authorized?
There are no add-ons except Owl for Exchange (needed for my work outlook account) and Compact Headers.
Thunderbird is version 128.6.1esr on Ubuntu.

Using Tbird 78.14.0 (64 bit) with Windows 10. I can no longer access the Page Setup screen properly. I suspect it's because I accidentally put a very big value in for the top margin. The print preview for even a short email says it's many pages, there's no text visible on any of those pages, the only part of the Page Setup screen visible is OK and Cancel at the bottom, and I can't get to the top of the screen. I've tried closing and re-opening Tbird to no avail. How can I get to the top of the Page Setup screen to fix the problem?
How can I get rid of this on my settings page? It is the most aggravating thing I have seen on FF.

Now it's completely impossible to open PDFs outside Firefox, as I could do until the last couple of beta versions.
This trend is going on since a few years ago, from bad to worst. The whole design of the PDFs download process is bad. PDFs should be treated by FF as any other file: download and open with the system default PDF viewer. Imposing Firefox's internal PDF viewer as mandatory for downloaded PDFs is nonsense.
Very frustrating!

Using the french version of Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64 bits), I set, in the settings, the following options for one of my accounts (see picture): "Delete messages older than X days" "Always keep starred messages"
However, just after this setting change, I closed and reopend Thunderbird, and all messages older than X days are still there.
What should I do?

I've been using Firefox for a few months now to follow online training courses or videos on the conversation papillon (www.conversationpapillon.com) and conversation santé (www.conversationsante.com) websites. For a few weeks now, the videos are no longer accessible on the pages of these two sites. The window of the video is empty. However, if I try the same link in Google Chrome, it works fine. I've contacted the publishers of these two sites, who tell me that nothing has changed on their sites in recent weeks. He advised me to contact you to find out more. Can you help me? I prefer to use Firefox, which protects my privacy better. Thanks in advance. Regards, Jean-Pierre R.
