I have just had to delete one of my accounts, and reinstall it after I kept getting an error message. Doing this seems to have solved the error, but now that account sits at the bottom of the list of all of the emails, but it is one of the accounts I use most regularly and it would be more convenient if it were further up the list. I cannot seem to see a way of moving them anywhere?? In other programs it appears that you simply drag the email address up or down to relocate it? Any help would be appreciated.

Automatically hide taskbar in desktop mode => Enabled Firefox => Maximised When cursor is moved to outer edge of screen, taskbar should unhide (Expected behaviour) but in this case it remain hidden (Reality). Firefox along with all other spinoffs give same result. Chromium based browser works perfect, and taskbar automatically unhide itself.

As OLED screen have became common as monitor, Taskbar auto-hide is must. If this issue cann't be fixed I may have to change my primary browser which I used for almost 15 years.

Kindly, look into it. If Chromium can do it, why not Firefox.

Unable to Find Global Search

I am trying to search through all of my messages.

The Global Search feature described here seems to be what I need:

   https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-search

It says it will search all fields, accounts, folders, etc. for any messages.

It doesn't exist on my screen, though, the way it's described in that article (as a search box above the Filter box).

The closest feature I can find is Shift-Ctl-F that brings up a very narrowly targeted search facility that forces me to pick the specific folder that I want to search, and the field that I want to search within the eMails within that folder. This highly focused search is the exact opposite of the Global Search feature that I'm looking for, which doesn't make me specify anything to search through.

How do I invoke the Global Search feature, so that I can ask Thunderbird to "just find it" anywhere in the system when I type in a search term?

Good afternoon,

I have read in an article a statement that Primary Password encrypts all saved logins, therefore it is safer and recommended to use it. Well, I observed that it does not really matter if the password is set for the contents of logins.json, it does not change. What exactly is encrypted by Primary Password and how does it improve security?

I also tried to set the same password for different websites (I used a different mail tho) and the output in logins.json is different, which is even more confusing to me.

The output itself is kind of strange, the first part of it seems to be the same for almost all entries and looks like that: MEoEEPgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEwFAYIKoZIhvcNAwc.

Thunderbird is up-to-date on my Win 10 machine. I've disabled and re-enable HTML rendering.

Today is the first time this has happened, and the problematic messages seem to be random; no apparent connection between sends or type.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'd like to try to configure an Exchange (Office 365) account in Thunderbird Beta, and it doesn't work for me. I use the autodiscover and: 1. Thunderbird tells me that it can recover the connection settings, okay 2. It offers me IMAP, POP and Exchange/Office365. If I select the last one, it says that the server doesn't allow open protocols and that I must install/pay the Owl extension. 3. If I select "configure manually" with Exchange protocol, an error appears: "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsiMsgAccountManager.createIncomingServer]

This morning I saw that images were not downloading within my GMAIL messages. Believing that something was wrong with my connection, I decided to give both my computers a restart. This concerns my Windows 10 64-Bit, on which I had both Edge and Firefox opened, both with multi-tabs. In Firefox I had my Google account open with other tabs. After shutting down both computers I left my apartment. The Windows 10 restarted on its own; but both browsers lost their tabs even though I set each to reopen the previous session. With Edge and function keys I was able to restore my previous session; but not with Firefox. about:sessionrestore was not available. The Profile folder did not show a backup for these lost tabs. I hate hunting for them in History because I am working on multiple projects and don't have time for this wasteful activity, which is why I set Startup to Open Previous Windows And Tabs. What option did I miss?

Now, we have more wasted time. I reopened as many tabs as I remembered opened during the session I could not restore. Now, the only tabs that reopened since are the ones I opened that have posts about restoring sessions. The tabs I reopened are lost even though I checked off Open Previous Windows And Tabs. This browser is performing worse as of today for some reason I am not aware. What changed? From what I see here, there was no MS Windows update that might have occurred when I shut down and lost the tabs. Could I have disrupted the tabs by using the right hand, top corner "X" to shut out of Firefox?

This is getting more and more whacked up! It seems that every time I reopen a tab within the Library, it opens it in the same tab, overlaying the previous tab I opened.

Hello,

I am still having problems with Thunderbird crashing on startup

I first asked about this issue on the 2nd September, here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1461731

I have been submitting Crash reports per business day except for the last couple.

Here are the Submitted Crash ID's, I have been submitting reports as the crashes happen. :

More available if needed

Notably, I have 2 computers each with Thunderbird, each accessing the same account. I have no problem on the other computer. I am using no addons on the crashing computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version, computer restarts - still crashing. I have checked my RAM. 16GB on board - Basic Graphics Processing - Intel Iris XE.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have Thunderbird installed [via Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/org.mozilla.Thunderbird) and suddenly it's not recognizing the profile that contains the email accounts. When launching it is showing the welcome wizard instead.

The file system contains quite a few profiles though:

``` $ cd ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/cache/thunderbird $ du -h --max-depth=1 6.8M ./i58nuv2e.default-release-1 813M ./r77u2ylw.default 6.7M ./w92uxxz8.default-release 0 ./jncleef4.default 6.5M ./fbs6wcvl.default-release 0 ./lz1kt9ot.default 6.9M ./tv1kaebo.default-release 0 ./7f6s4la8.default 839M . ```

but `about:profiles` shows only `tv1kaebo.default-release` and `7f6s4la8.default`.

I'm pretty sure that I didn't do anything but updating the Flatpak and I definitely didn't change any Thunderbird settings or anything in its data directories.

The correct profile is `r77u2ylw.default` (its directory size is 813M while the others are less than 7M).

Hence I'd like to know how can I make Thunderbird use that profile and avoid that issue happening again?

    • PS:** And what's the best way of cleaning up profiles, since I only need one profile anyway? The Thunderbird UI doesn't even recognise all of them, so would be deleting them sufficient?

I'm trying to move Thunderbird to a new PC. Both PC's are running Windows 11. I've followed the instructions for locating my profile. According to "Troubleshooting Information" my profile is supposed to be located at "C:\Users\photo\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\k6i7koof.default-release\Mail\Local Folders". When I click on the "Open Folder" button, I receive an error message that the folder does not exist. When I try navigating to the folder manually, I can not find a "Thunderbird" folder under "AppData\Roaming". I've selected "Show Hidden Files/Folders" under Windows Explorer. I know my profile exists because I can access a set of Local Folders when I'm in Thunderbird. I'd really like to move those folders over to my new PC. Any help to find the profile folder will be much appreciated.

Hi,

I was using FF on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS. Had version FF 120.x and playing video in Netflix worked fine. Then I updated to FF 124.x and playing video stopped with error F7355-1203.

I've checked the DRM setting and it is enabled, I checked addons and I have OpenH264 and Widevine installed, both set to always active.

I've checked installed codecs and I do have libavcodec58 installed. No update for that available via apt. I also have ffmpeg installed, no problem with that either. I can play Netflix videos in Chrome, but not in Firefox now. Something happened to Firefox when I updated from 120.x to 124.x. Today I updated to 125.x, same problem, Netflix video won't play.

I've unchecked the DRM setting and re-checked it, and that does reinstalled Widevine but does not fix the problem.

Any ideas what could be the cause?
