Hi to all ! On a MacBook Pro under Sequoia 15.3.1 whenever I launch T'bd (128.8.0esr) it opens but accepts no command and the message screen is empty. The CPU usage is about 25%. Nothing else of importance runs on the computer. The same happens sometimes in the middle of a session. I removed Norton 360 just in case: no help. I could not correlate this behavior with any change I or the software updates did (it worked perfectly well until ~end 24). When I wait (15-30 min) and the messages finally appear. I tried killing an relaunching T'bd but it does not make much of a difference. Would someone have an idea where I could search to solve that? Thanks in advance for any help. Max.

Hi Recently my Bigpond email is not allowing me to send emails , the "send" button in the compose emails has disappeared Bigpond works correctly in Chrome Regards Keith

When I delete an email the attached message pops up that it "can't compact etc..." and when I hit ok it compacts the folders anyway. Sometimes it also hangs the program up and I have to close and re-open, but mostly it is just annoying. It also happens in troubleshooting mode. I am up to date with version 128.8.0esr (64-bit) in Windows 11. I got up, walked around my desk and sat back down but it didn't help; any other suggestions?

I use google meet at work. Up until recently, things were working ok. Starting a few weeks ago (there were updates both to MacOS and Firefox), when I was in a meeting, the other side couldn't hear me even though meet said that my microphone wasn't muted. I then switched the meeting to Safari, and had no problems. I also noticed that when the remote party did a presentation, it did not show up when running on Firefox, but switching to Safari it worked. This is clearly a bug (or a miscoordination between Firefox and MacOS). Has anyone else encountered this? I'm running on a M4 MacBook running MacOS 15.3.2 and Firefox 136.0.1

some times the Youtube video's won't load i thought that it's my network glitch but my network is good only in this browser the videos won't load sometimes and some website's like amazon also won't load some times it keeps on loading but nothing will be loaded . i need to restart the whole browser to make it work please fix it Zen browser .

Firefox keeps crashing when I am trying to write comments on fb. The comment 'box' (I guess) lays itself over text, getting in the way if my ability to see text, or access the comnent, react , reply options.

Also, Add ons are mysteriously disabled. I removed the adblockers, and tried to relaod them The downloads failed. My remaining add ons are disabled I am not able to enable them.

I am unsure what the problem is, or how to fix it Please advise. Thank you.

I am trying to fetch incoming and outgoing sever of [mail.thehostelhotel.com] . The thunderbird is fetching https://thehostelhotel.com instead.

other emails are correctly fetching right server details.

I have tried to enter the right server details manually. however it does not connect.

please help.

Videos on Bluesky have never appeared for me, instead they all say "Your browser does not support the video format. Please try a different browser." This seems to happen regardless of the video source.

One morning could not connect to email/ATT. This is the error message I got: Something's gone wrong We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over. ATT came to home to look into hookup, etc. Could not fix. They advised Firefox could be corrupted. Should I reinstall Firefox. Had to go thru Chrome for email. Have Windows 11. Thank you.

Suddenly Citi Bank won't let me make payment via Firefox browser, say I have to use Chrome or the MS They say it's Firefox issue not theirs. I don't want to use any other browser. I've always made payments to my banks on the private browser Firefox. Suddenly cannoit.

I have a secure private network on my CPU. Why does Firefox not allow my secure websites to remember this browser? The website gives me the option "Recognize this browser." I check that box. But it is a vicious cycle. There is such a thing as too much protection. This makes it time consuming to access my accounts, requiring a cell phone and code to access accounts. Please advise.

Attachment is a screenshot shows task manger shows there are 64 open files open, when I have only 4 windows open. What would causing this?

Over night Firefox closes and close all my open windows. I need the windows remain open.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me.

This is not a question. It is a statement of issues. I recently bought a new computer and tried to install Thunderbird on my new system. The installation went fine. The setup was one problem after another. Thunderbird required multiple attempts to connect with Outlook and sync my account. Next, I tried to import my contacts. Thunderbird failed numerous attempts to sync contacts. I finally had to manually import my contacts. Then spent an hour manually cleaning up my contacts. Thunderbird seems to have randomly assigned field names. (Names imported as numbers or dates) In addition, it imported contacts without associated data. (No email address, phone numbers etc.) After all that, Thunderbird would not allow me to use any of the contacts. The address book is there, the contacts are there, but it would not reference the address book when I tried to send an email. I had to go to the address book, copy the email and paste it into the to: field.

Next, I tried to create events and tasks. First problem, all calendars were disabled by default and no option was offered to enable the calendars. I spent another 45 min. trying to find a setting or something to enable the calendars. When I finally got them enabled, I spent another hour trying to get Thunderbird to create events and tasks. Thunderbird will not create either. I spent far more time than is rational to create each event and task. When I completed each attempt, Thunderbird trashed them. No event or task was ever created. At this point I uninstalled Thunderbird and wrote it off as a bad idea.

Folks, I am not new to this. I have been using similar apps since their early days. I know how to install and setup these apps. I am very familiar with the problems that may be encountered. And this far worse than anything I have seen in a long time. I do not know what is going on at Mozilla, but they have got some serious problems to work out. I will steer clear of Thunderbird for now.

At some point in the last few weeks -- possibly after an upgrade -- I've noticed that some websites such as the Washington Post and Fidelity can take minutes rather than seconds to load. The problem doesn't seem to be with the sites themselves (because they load fine on Chrome) or with my hardware (because exactly the same thing happens on both of my computers). Has anyone else noticed this?

( I'm running Firefox 131.0.3 on Windows.)

'''Hello! When I delete an email in any of my accounts all the accounts go blank ~ no messages show ~ and the screen announces "NO MESSAGES" or some such. I have to quit and restart to get my messages back.

Am I doing something wrong? Suggestions...? Thank you!'''

Mozilla Thunderbird's memory usage, can it be improved?

For some time now, the latest versions of Mozilla Thunderbird have been consuming a lot of RAM. On older computers, it even feels like they're taking up a lot of RAM. Is there any way to optimize Mozilla Thunderbird's RAM usage on a computer? If so, what methods do you recommend, and have they worked for you?

Greetings, thank you very much, and have a nice day.
