Does Thunderbird support custom avatars or display avatars? If not, will it be supported in the future? I added my QQ mailbox but the avatar cannot be displayed. This is not good. The default digital avatar is not good looking.

Recently, after the newest Windows 11 update, Twitch hasn't been loading correctly, the tab looks as if it finished loading, but the page gets stuck in endless loading, no other site has this problem, and it happens even opening links to Twitch channels directly. I've added and screenshot of the problem.

I'd love some help or at least know if this is a problem on Twitches end or not. Thanks.

I am about to change desktop computers - upgrading to Windows 11. How or can I transfer all my Thunderbird data, saved emails, address books,layout, etc, to my new computer? Can I export everything to an external hard drive and then import to the new PC? Many thanks for any advice. heers, Ron

What the title says. Firefox just isn't playing any sound whatsoever.

Troubleshooting:

• Volume mixer indicates that Firefox is using my speakers, along with all other apps. When playing a YouTube video, the green bar is not bouncing. However, all other programs that play sound do so successfully and their green bars are bouncing (see attachment).

• Other web browsers play sound successfully.

• Restarting Firefox and my computer did not help.

• Switching the default sound device and changing back did not help.

• Changing to headphones made no change.

• Tabs are not muted.

• Autoplay settings in about:preferences showed that audio and video were disabled, however changing this setting to allow video and audio, then restarting both Firefox and the computer did not fix the problem. I have no idea how that setting was even changed to begin with. O_o

• Started Firefox in troubleshooting mode; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in a different profile; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in private mode; still no sound.

• Tried ending the audiodg.exe process in task manager and restarted; still no sound.

• Double checked media.autoplay.blocking_policy, was set to 0.

• Double checked media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -- changed from true to false, restarted Firefox; still no sound.

• Disabled hardware acceleration; still no sound.

• Refreshed Firefox; still no sound.

• Complete uninstall, including the usage of BCUninstaller to uninstall "leftovers". Reinstalled. Still no sound.

I have Apollo installed on my computer and I've reached out to them before for similar issues, but the dev was insistent that Apollo does not cause sound issues. I'm somewhat sceptical, but they're not being helpful at all so I thought I'd ask here, and disclose usage of Apollo so that all bases are covered.

Thank you for your time.

Thunderbird couldn't connect to ATT/yahoo mail with the error "Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Unsupported SASL mechanism." I am totally unfamiliar with this issue but know it involves an encrypted password. A net search so far is of little help though I did run into a statement that windows doesn't have this issue. I use linux and searching my package manager I find quite a few SASL mechanism plugins (who knew?) but no way to differentiate any. ATT's site is useless. Is anyone here familiar with this problem? In the meantime, I see 1 called login mechanism plugin - no, thats deprecated of course, says use the plain one so its that one for me. Tnx...

Failure to download email from Optus. I have spent a number oif hours to no avail talking and typing with the Optus staff regarding this problem. 1. I can send email from TB but cannot receive. 2. I can see the incoming emails in their Webmail site. 3. Optus confirm my settings are correct for both the mail server and SMTP server. When I go to Settings> Security > Passwords > remove server so I can re-submit my password, the only one showing is the SMTP server. Should the incoming mail server also be shown?

I am frustrated and ready to dump TB but have bee with it many years and don't want to start again with another programme as I am 83 and am partially blind. Please can anyone assist?

I want the browser's tab bar to display like the homepage, instead of disappearing after opening a webpage tab bar. I don't know if I can accurately express my meaning, but I will attach two pictures

Using desktop PC with Roku device and Firefox as default browser, V140 / Win10. I don't know if there was a recent update, but I can no longer access tv.apple.com through Roku. I am able to enter my username and password when signing in to tv.apple.com on desktop, but no 2SV window appears and an empty sign-in form appears again, as if my sign-in info is not recognized. Signing in on a laptop with Firefox browser is successful. Signing in on desktop PC through Firefox "Private Window" is successful as well. What settings on desktop PC changed, and how can I fix this?

Thanks.

Why am I getting a 403 Forbidden message when I'm trying to access www.UFC.com, the Ultimate Fighting Championship website??? This site is save in my Bookmarks and I've not had previous issues! Be advised that I tried to access it on MS Edge and had no problem at all!!! If this continues, or if more sites are "Forbidden", I'll happily scrap your server platform!

Carl Piper carlpiper5@gmail.com Firefox user for more than a 2 decades!

I just updated my iPhone 13 Pro, running iOS 18.5, to the latest version of Firefox mobile (140.3). The app keeps freezing in such a way that I am unable to press the “open tabs” button to view my tabs. Restarting the phone fixes this issue for a while, but it’s been happening again and again in the last couple of days. This issue is impeding my internet browsing so much that I am considering switching to a different browser for my phone.

Hello and sure hope someone can help me. Fire Fox is my browser that I have had for a year or so. Pls understand that I am 80+ and am not as sharp as I once was. I am using a desk top that I have had for years. Several days ago I was on the web looking around. I don't remember where I was on the net but I am thinking it was Face Book. Anyway, up came this offer saying I could create a new profile and a new name on Face Book if I wanted to. I have always wanted to do that so I started filling out the paper work. I made up a profile name and a user name and was moving on to the next part when it came to me that this might be a scam, so I canceled what I was doing, or tried to. Boxes kept coming up telling me that I needed to finish filling out the form, but I X'd out of that too, several times. Then the box said "you need to finish filling this out or you will never hear from us again. Then I shut the desk top down until the next morning. In the am, I went on Fire Fox and went to the Face Book site. For awhile all I got was pretty much a blank page with no way to do anything. A day later the sight came up kinda but things were a bit different. There were some things like my profile picture at the top rightwas gone and then Boxes were coming up telling me to complete the paper work I had started. By this time I knew that someone was trying to scam me. I tried to find several sites that were generally on my home page of Facebook when I signed in, but they were gone now along with other things. I went on two another browser and got on Facebook and found things to be very normal, so what ever happened only effects the Fire Fox browser. I would sure like to fix this so I could use Fire Fox to connect with Facebook. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

При попытке войти в аккаунт twitch появляется ошибка о том что браузер не поддерживается. Я попробовал множество вариантов(какие то были описаны на сайте twitch, какие то предложены технической поддержкой twitch). Вот некоторые из них: 1) Убедитесь, что используйте последнюю версию браузера. 2) Отключите все расширения. Особенно это касается расширений для разработчиков или схожих типов расширений. 3) Очистите кэш и файлы cookie. 4) Перезапустите свой браузер и повторите попытку. 5) также я пробовал запустить с включеным vpn и без него Ниже представлены предложения от тех. поддержки twitch:

  1) As a first step, make sure you're using a supported, up to date browser. The Twitch.tv site is currently developed for the latest versions of the most popular browsers, you can find a specific list here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/supported-browsers
  2) Replicate this issue in an incognito window/private browsing mode while your browser extensions are disabled. 
  3) Log out of VPNs or similar software which might reroute requests through an IP address other than your own (how to do this will depend on whatever software you're using).
   4) Avast Antivirus, AVG Anti-Track, and similar software may also affect your connection - make sure to add Twitch as a trusted website or disable it temporarily to see if that resolves it.
   5) Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies (you’ll need to log into your account again). You can find instructions on how to do this depending on your browser here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/supported-browsers
   И ниже мой ответ:

1) I use a supported browser (Firefox latest version) 2) I tried to log in incognito mode and nothing worked either (no extensions installed) 3) I tried to log in to my account with and without VPN 4) I don't have any antiviruses 5) I tried to clear browser data and that didn't help either (running in incognito mode does the same thing)

I shut down my computer on July 6th, went to bed, woke up on July 7th, opened my email to find all of my emails are gone. I had my daughter try and help and the app asked to set up an account. I (grandson) can find the profile and when I dig deeper in Mail I see 4 different inbox folders.

How do I get it to read the older inbox folders?

I have backed up the profile and deleted folder -3.net to try and get it to read the -2.net folder, it just recreates the -3.net folder and the emails only go back to 6/13/25. When I read the other .msf file in notepad I can see the archived emails dating back to 2020-2017. Even found the other folders that were under inbox.

Hi =)

When I click "Write" and compose an email, the text I type is very, very small. I have tried all the settings in the font settings, etc. I can choose a larger font, but then the text becomes very large for the recipient as well. It can't be correct that the text should be so small, it is hard to read it, that small is it. This happened after reinstalling the new version of Thunderbird this evening. When the email is sent it is ok size. See enclosed pictures:

1) When writing -> Too small 2) In the inbox -> Ok size 3) Email is opened -> Ok size

I really hope someone can help! =)

Best regards, Margrethe

Hi!

Just thought I'd report this because it appears to be a consistent, reasonably long-standing issue (months) on a popular news site. Or is it "just me"?

Website: https://www.selfgem.com/en/products/tooth-gem-kits

Expected behaviour: I am able to open links and download files on this website as backround tabs and continue browsing.

Actual behaviour: 1. After a couple are opened, Firefox for Android hangs for very close to 30 seconds then does a deep redraw/repaint of all tabs and continues to function until I next try to open another background tab from that website. 2. During the hang tab interface continues to redraw, but the pages are not repainted and no taps events work. 3. At the end of this hang time, the pages appear to redraw from scratch and the context pop-up for the third long-press appears on top of whichever tab I was looking at.

It is 100% repro for me -- long-press fails when attempting to open the 3rd background tab, but repaint failure occurs earlier. There is something toxic happening.

Curiously, when I next view my Android Home screen, there is some sort deep refresh/repaint, as if it has been swapped-out or GC'd etc.

e.g. Is there some massive memory blow-out happening?

Context/workarounds: 1. I have tried clearing all browsing data and using a guess account on the phone. 2. I have no addons installed. 3. Neither Chrome nor FF Desktop exhibit this behavior. This is FF Android specific

Thanks!
