Thunderbird doesn't open. I suspect because it opens every message I get or send either in a tab or a list or both. Then there gets to be too many of these. I didn't ask for any of these things! Why can't I just get messages like I used to, and not have to constantly be concerned with closing tabs and closing lists? It is ridiculous, and now the program won't even open. I know I am asked to be polite, and it is the programmers who are at fault, not the community volunteers. But we are not allowed to contact and complain to the programmers!

My Firefox keeps crashing several times daily.

Here are reports of the latest:

I am getting sick and tired of Thunderbird freezing while writing an email, screen graying out, and having to close the program and lose the material without it having been saved in any way. This has been happening for two or three weeks.

Upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 a couple months ago. Since then, TB freezes nearly every time I am composing an email. "Help About" says TB is up to date. Remedies? Or do I have to wait for a new version?

I clicked on the Google icon and got a screen that said "Gak, that site just crashed" Has been happening periodically with other links. If I restart the computer the problem disappears so I can ask you for help Thanks

Hi, I’m using a iPad Mini 6 with the latest OS and a up to date version of Firefox. When logging into and trying to use Instagram the browser becomes completely unusable and locks the iPad and sometimes it’s so bad it restarts itself. I was wondering if it’s a known issue and being looked at? It’s been happening for quite a few months now ever since the video autoplay options where implemented.

Thanks for any help in advance :)

(PS: all other third party browsers work as intended on my iPad)

A bit over a month ago, I was away from home for several weeks. When I came back, a browser that worked perfectly before became near unusable with constant and random crashes. Sometimes they occur even with no user input. I have tried troubleshooting mode, I have removed all extensions, I have tried all the fixes I found on Google, I have reinstalled the browser, I have updated all the drivers, I have done MemTest86 which was passed with flying colours and I have even installed a firefox fork (waterfox) to try and fix this all to no avail. I have no clue where to go from here, as it feels very bizarre. All help is much appreciated.

TB frequently freezes when writing a reply. There are no reports in crash reports. It shows this image, and says reporting to Microsoft when I click close. Version 140.4.0esr (64-bit)

How can I fix the problem?

Right after typing my email address and pressing "Continue", Thunderbird crashes. I wanted to give it a try after many years of not using it, but then it crashes right at the start.

Here's the crash report:

Image below shows "nothing" Un-responsive but for closing. Had malware bytes and avast. Deleted both. Uninstalled/reinstalled Thunderbird twice. Same problem (attachment) Can't identify those little symbols across browser. Do0es't work at all. Any suggestions appreciated Robert

Firefox repeatedly crashes on my, multiple times a day. I'dc really like to NOT have to change my default browser to Chrome.

What happens is that Firefox freezes, and I get a white bar at the top telling me so. I get a popup box asking if I want to close Firefox or wait for it to respond. Waiting doesn't work, so I always have to close Firefox. When I reopen it, fortunately all m,y open tabs are retained, but it crashes again within minutes or seconds as soon as I click on anything.

There only thing that seems to work is a reboot of my PC. But the respite is short before Firefox crashes again.

I've disabled most plugins, but that hasn't helped. Is there a way to create an event log within Firefox that I can share with someone at Mozilla to help e debug the issue? It's got to be something local rather than Firefox itself; I can't imagine this is happening to most users.
