On Windows 10 with 64-bit Firefox, after updating from version 144 to 145, some local HTTP-only servers stopped working and became inaccessible. When I enter http://<local server name>, after a few seconds it automatically changes to https://<local server name>, and since no HTTPS service is running, it ends with a “Server not found” page. It seems to be related to DNS — accessing http://<IP address> works fine.

I tried a clean installation with a new user profile, but it didn’t help. Downgrading to version 144 fixes the problem, but at the cost of losing the user profile (which is a disaster). I also tried to check the HTTP-only settings (which I’ve never modified), but that didn’t help either.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Recently, I needed to do a major upgrade to Fedora 43 so I did a full backup first for safety. After the upgrade, I needed to install Thunderbird to recover access to my email. For the first time in over 20 years, I had to re-enter the data for my various email accounts and now I find that my address book is gone. How can I locate the proper files in my backup and restore them while Thunderbird isn't running?

Somehow I have deleted the panel to the side of New Messages that I kept names of frequently emailed people. Now I have just a big page for a new message but no names. I have an address book with the names and email addresses but I have to look up anyone I want to send a message to. How do I get that panel backs to the New Message page?

Been using thunderbird for years, stopped getting new messages. Removed/deleted the accounts and tried to setup again and get error unable to login at server, probably wrong configuration, username or password. username and password are entered correctly, changed them just to verify, using default settings and appear to match what their supposed to be as documented. Gmail accounts... Any help appreciated...

For months I've been trying to clear my saved form data as I put in the wrong email address, and when using saved form data sometimes don't notice it's wrong, so replies disappear into the ether.

Under Settings/Privacy & Security/Clear browsing data I have cleared Everything with all check boxes checked, and multiple times just tried the Saved form info checkbox. The wrong email refuses to die along with the related form data.

It is infuriating. Maybe you can correct it manually, or actually wipe it for me? The INCORRECT email is 'bongoots@yahoo.co.uk'. The CORRECT email is 'bongboots@yahoo.co.uk'.

Many thanks, Bruce Clarke

I just bought a new computer. How do I sync firefox on my old computer with firefox on my new computer. The same for thunderbird mail. Please help. I am not a computer genius. Dave Muran [edited email and phone# from public community support forum)

When I receive a newsletter from my club, it doesn't show the pictures. It does describe the picture and warns it might be AI generated. If I reply to the email or forward it, the pictures are displayed. I suspect this might be a settings problem. The original email includes:

[image: A picnic table and benches on a stone surface AI-generated content may be incorrect.] [image: A group of people dancing in a room with lights AI-generated content may be incorrect.]

[image: A person and person standing next to a vase AI-generated content

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hello, is there a way to setup thunderbird to automatically archive messages? I'd like to have the ability to automatically transfer old messages into an archive mailbox after X number of days.

The Delete button (I've just begun using Thunderbird for Android) sends email to Delete-land: gone for good. There is no way to reprogram it to send to Trash. One can, alternatively, hide it on the main screen by setting swipes left and right to None. But it is still there in the Read screen....and potentially dangerous. If you try to set a swipe to Trash rather than Delete, there is no Trash option. So you have to set it to Move and choose Trash each time. This reduces the utility of Tbird Android and means you have to be extra-careful when reading emails.

Also, no way to reduce image sizes (by percentage) when attaching large picture files...unless you reduce them in advance in an image processing program.

I don't think Arcgiving is really Performance but I can't find a better category. Is there a way I can get Thunderbird to Archive my 2021 files in Inbox into Archives>2021? I've done part of 2021 manually and need an app or something - but by year because I have to clean out first? Do I need to remove the 2022, 2023, and 2024 part of the structure to prevent them being archived?(again because I need to cleanout first)? Or would you suggest just archive everything up to and including 2024 and go thru archives to do my cleanup? Sorry this is very basic - I've only moved archives manually and need an app or add-on I believe.

Here's my structure:oops - can't use prt scrn to show you, sorry.

A recent update (https://windowsreport.com/firefox-fixes-an-8-year-old-windows-bug-that-broke-virtual-desktop-use/) has broken behavior I previously depended on as part of my workflows: If I clicked a link in one desktop, it would open that link in the browser instance on the last desktop I'd used, so I could keep all my browser windows on one virtual desktop full-screened for easy viewing, then slide back to my other workspaces for messaging/writing/etc.

Now, apparently as a bug fix, every time I try to open a link on a desktop, it creates a new Firefox instance in that desktop instead of opening the link in the browser I have open on other workspaces. This has dramatically impacted how I work. How can I restore the previous behavior? It is so disruptive having new windows opening all the time instead of keeping them in my dedicated browser workspace. If there isn't a fix for this, I will need to move to a new browser.

I started using the new "Profiles" feature in firefox, and I created profiles one one device. However I am finding that the profiles are not syncing across my devices. Both are Windows 11 VMs, I tried doing manual syncs, singed out and back in to both devices. But the Profiles I create on each just do not seem to sync, is this the expected behavior ?
