bold textA little while ago, all of the messages coming into my Thunderbird app, do not expand graphics etc in the email. I just get strings of code and web stuff.. I cannot find the setting in my Thunderbird that will cause it to automatically translate all of these codes. Help please !

I have a oroblem with folder navigation in bookmark dialog on my Android. The bookmarks save to the last folder I used weeks ago, and it will not allow me to change the location of the bookmark. It wont even show the other folders. I cleared out the app cache. I deleted and reinstalled the latest version of the app, then synced to my desktop. It still does not work. Please help!.

I'm currently using version version 141.0.3. Every time I've upgraded the version, there's been other problems with video playback on certain websites. Regardless, I can't read a number of pages of interesting articles because of this browser versions' adblocker which I can't lower or allow social media posts if I want to. My harddrive is almost maxxed out as Windows 10 occupied the majority.

I've been using Thunderbird for over 20 years and I run it on two PC (to have a copy at home and in the office) Running 144.0.1 (32 bit) on Windows 10 and same but 64 bit on the other. The problem is with the 32 bit PC although I don't think this has anything to do with the problem.

Came back to my PC today and my inbox emails are not opening. About 88,000 emails in the inbox can't be accesses but the list of the email info are showing. Click on any one and it's blank.

I have no idea why this has happened, my only ideas are they could be connected with one of the following: 1. A windows restart and update 2. Kaspersky internet security deleting a trojan virus from an email in the inbox and deleting the whole inbox file instead - I have already asked Kaspersky support and they said it would not delete the whole file but I'm not so sure. 3. It might have lost the email when doing a 'compact folder' but I think this is unlikely.

When I closed and restarted Thunderbird any new email coming into the inbox worked perfectly but still the 88,000 previous ones were not visible/readable.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm completely stuck It's strange I only had this problem on the 32 bit version of Thunderbird? Thanks, Brian

Recently, if I am playing audio from Firefox on my phone, the audio stops when my phone screen is locked. This did not used to happen and does not happen if I play the same audio from Safari. I am using an iPhone 17 Pro running iOS 26.1. I have tried resetting the phone and removing and reinstalling Firefox, but it persists. The problem does not occur with audio played from the same webpage through Firefox using my iPad, logged into the same Firefox account.

I am having trouble accessing The Washington Times with Firefox. Every time I click on a story, it comes up, but then immediately the screen shades out to a gray screen, and nothing works. Also, if I open The Times website and click on sign-in for my account, nothing happens. If I go directly to the Times website and try ti sign in, the screen greys out again. This just started happening yesterday. If I go to a laptop with an earlier version of Firefox on it, all works just fine. Also, if I access the Washington Times with Microsoft Edge, it works just fine. Would appreciate it if I could get some help here.

I know nothing about the dev options for Internet settings and minor turned on and it says the remote server is set to production. No flipping idea what this is. Can somebody please help me?

I just downloaded Thunderbird to my new computer. It worked fine for a short while. Then it started deleting new emails as soon as they were imported. How can I stop this from happening?

I suddenly this week cannot send email using Thunderbird (v. 140.4.0esr (64-bit)). I receive email fine. I can send email using webmail with my provider. Error message in Thunderbird is: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-h2p-555359.sys.comcast.net resomta-h2p-555359.sys.comcast.net ESMTP server not available (62240/216.183.125.238)." My provider says the issue is not at their end because my server settings are correct. Outgoing SMTP port is 465, connection security SSL/TLS. Operating Windows 11 v. 24H2.

To be clear, I seriously doubt the problems I am encountering are TB's fault! The problems may be my fault since I've grown older, I've tended (believed) using new versions of software present my mind a BIGGER challenge than using the older software/version I have been successfully using? I'm still using Version115.10.1

After our ISP chose to start using Zimbra Oct. 7, 2025 and their tech support could not assist me in getting TB working the had me remove POP3 settings for TB and change to IMAP with their software.

FINALLY someone helped me get TB working with IMAP. For 3 days grrr. Now the ISP says I need to use their web mail, Zimbra.

So might downloading the current TB version and somehow get the In box, all the folder contnets etc. over - into the new TB help?

I was going to backup everything tonight, now I have little to NO hope, without help!

THANKS & remain WELL plus be SAFE!

Hello,

how can i disable firefox usage hints like "Try tab groups for less clutter, more focus"?. It opens up if i open up a certain amount of tabs. Is there anything i can disable in about:config?

Thank you.

Hi, after upgrading to Windows 11 all my Firefox saved passwords are gone. My extensions synced, but passwords did not even though I had sync turned on. How can I recover my old passwords or check if they were synced to my Firefox Account?

Many thanks in advance!

It looks like with this new version of Firefox I have to load my saved password file every time I start the browser, and even after doing the reload some of the passwords don't work forcing me to change them, and I would have to do another password save, but if I forget to do it and close the browser all the passwords are delete. I did not have this problem prior to this new install.

Also I prefer to use Firefox as a browser I feel it is way better than Edge and Chrome even though it doesn't work one a two websites I need to use. one only works on chrome the other only works on edge.

Let me know if you need other information.
