Might I suggest that you create a portable version of Thunderbird? I do not wish to use the version put out by portableapps.com. I always prefer to use portable software developed by the original source.

Thank you.

I have been using firefox for 3 to 4 years now and it's the best brower i have ever used but from a few months it have gotten too slow i am a student and need to create projects and research alot so i have to open around 20 tabs at a single time but before even after opening 30 tabs it would be fast as ever. I don't have any security extension or whatever i just have AdGuard AdBlocker extention, volume booster and grammerly and screenshot taker and hoxx vpn (it was before as well) but the firfox has become so slow now. (I have custom and max protection on) and additional windows protection too. and sometimes it just stop responding and also hangs up and closes own it own.

I am trying to upload my picture as an avatar in Gravatar. I keep getting an error message and it won't upload. I read the following message--Please note: If you encounter the error message, “WebGL is not supported or disabled in your browser,” please ensure that the necessary browser settings are enabled.

I'm wondering how I do that.

I default to using private browsing on Android. However, even with having one tab open(no tabs open in normal browsing) firefox consumes way too much resources after a while and only having one tab open (>2.5 Gb of ram).

I noticed that normal browsing caches itself when it is not active on screen while private browsing keeps running in background and memory usage keeps going up by the second. Attached are screenshots of memory usage going from around 250mb to 2.5gb in couple of minutes. All I had open was a single tab!!

I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.

I'm trying to connect my proton mail account. I have the correct email address and password, but It gives an error message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

I'm wondering if Thunderbird on Android can autocomplete email addresses that are not in my address book.

For example, I respond to an email from xyz@abc.com. When I create a new message, not a reply, and type in "xyz@" it fails to find anything. This is the opposite of how Gmail or iOS Mail works.

Hi

For some reason, my Honor tablet has stopped displaying my tabs in the tool bar. I didn't ask for it to do this, and have been trying in vain to reverse it.

I can't access reddit.com on Firefox for Android. I have no problems accessing it on Firefox for PC or Mac. It was loading fine this mornig, but for the past couple hours, I've been getting "address not found." I have cleared my cache and all browsing data. I tried force stopping and restarting the app. I've tried restarting my phone. Nothing fixes the issue. Anyone know what the problem might be?

New computer Ubuntu 24.04 Mate, older Ubuntu 22.04 Cinnamon. Following support transfer directions (open Thunderbird on new PC, close it, paste a copy of older .thunderbird from USB stick to .thunderbird on new, over write), when I open Thunderbird no accounts are shown only the create account screen. I find no update path for older Thunderbird. New PC came with 128 esr but I found a tarball of 115 .18.0, installed it and followed transfer directions with the same results. Seems like the esr version uses a profile ending with esr and ignores my older one. What are my options for transferring 20 years of significant messages? The hard way might be to identify the account specific files in my older profile and copy them into the new esr profile...

The new native tab group feature has an option to "Save and close group", implying that you can restore the group. But doing this, you will find that the group disappears.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone figured out how to restore a saved tab group?
