I recently upgraded to 140.12.1. When I attempt to run the Remove Duplicate add on it hangs.

I suspect this is something to do with an additional menu item that now lists under Remove Duplicates Saying "Set original message folder(s) for next duplicate search". However when I select this, I get an error message from Remove Duplicates saying "Invalid choice of original message folders."

I have no idea where to set the folders, nor what to set them to..Can anyone help - it's an excellent add on which I use a lot.

Hello.

I wanted to download Firefox as a way to get rid of Google. Only, when I installed Firefox, it says "Browse with Google or type in address." I do not want Google. I wanted to just install my visited sites and passwords and be done with it. I've uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it only to be the same thing. I was hoping to also grab the passwords from Microsoft Edge and have just Firefox.

What am I doing wrong? Please Help!

I have not been able to sign on to my bank account nor yahoo account?

Have changed passwords, still no help?

I have Avast Security...no problems there?

I've been using Mozilla Firefox browser for the better part of the last two decades, having always found it to be the most functional and useful over all competitors, who generally seem more interested in raising revenue or spewing puerile and slanted politics. I've been accustomed to the occasional "crashes" and always provided input when they occurred, convinced that the interruptions would be brief and with any issues resolved. Today was different.

Lately, my processor was experiencing some "aging" issues: slowdowns, freezing forcing me to re-start, and random re-starts on its own. Over the weekend I conducted a comprehensive series of diagnostic tests of all features of the operating system. To my relief, the system went back to normal and efficient, including the browser -- for about 2 days.

Early today the browser became slow, eventually inactive, and ultimately crashing 7 times. But all these time were different: my input into the "crash warning box" was not permitted and closing the box only resulted with the next crash. All crashes had the same reason posted on their reports: "Crash Reason EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION."

When the crashes finally ended, my browser looked totally unlike it did before:

(1) ALL of the shortcuts I entered on the home page and relied upon for years VANISHED. (2) ALL of the browser windows and the open tabs I was working through at the time EVAPORATED. (3) ALL extensions I saved and used routinely GONE.

By the end of the day, one spent trying to resurrect "my" Mozilla browser with minimal damage, something else disconcerting occurred: the processor's operating system randomly shut and re-started. I don't want to point fingers just yet and allege this was connected with my browser failing, but the coincidence is troubling, one I would recommend looking into. My assistance is, of course, automatic.

It was working fine on the new computer until yesterday. Now I get a pop-up box that says: ' Unable to connect The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

Please help. I'm always having ti "delete from history" time and time again and am tired of wasting my time trying and not succeeding to get rid of extra widgets just because I visit a site they show-up and I have no use for them because I already have established widgets that I use on my opening page! this matter is very frustrating.

I have used dickeyking@bellsouth.net for all my emails and have opened them on Firefox on this computer but can no longer login to see them. All emails are available on my i-phone and I use i-cloud for storage. I would greatly appreciate your help.

Dozens of reboots every day due to video seizures only with Firefox. Tab crashes causes those I am ordered to support to LOSE WORK. After a tab crash and restore the FF interface is frozen -- no type of input from peripherals possible. This is all supposed to be solved by Monday. If I am out of luck with FF -- just tell me. That's very simple. New machines, new OS and it's worse than under the legacy systems we support after moving up from Win 7 Pro.

I couldn't see password management page. To be specific, I click the "password" option in the top right corner lists. Normally it will show all the website that firefox saved, but now I couldn't see anything except frame. I will upload the interfance that I see. this problem happend since an update. And problem contines after several patches. The firefox version that I use is "153.0.3(64-bit)" please help!

I realized that all the bookmarks I had saved for years are now missing when I search using the browser. I did find them in other locations, but how can I see specific bookmarks that are missing?

I can't log on my Amazon account because I keep getting a request for a passkey setup from Firefox with a USB. This goes beyond my tech savvy. I was working fine before. This started with my last order with Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Can this situation be resolved from my Mozilla account and how?

Even when I open a new tab in Firefox, the focus remains on the address bar. I'd like to know how to fix this. When I open a new tab, the address bar gets the focus, which I find inconvenient. Is there a way or setting to prevent the address bar from getting the focus and instead focus on the search box in the middle? I've searched online and tried the "settings in about:config" suggested in the search results, but it didn't solve the problem. Is it impossible? Firefox 153.0.3 64it

T-Bird is Freezing (Hang?) from start to freeze was 5 minutes and a few seconds. Have turned off hardware acceleration and now it freezes at just under 5 minutes. Have put on updates. Currently 153.0.1esr (64-bit). I have captured profile, and re-installed and picked up the profile. Still freezes. Turned off AV. Still freezes. I have compressed and "repaired" all folders. Still Freezes. I forced folders to get rid of anything older than 30 days. Still freezes.

I have been running the task manager, and T-Bird in frozen state is only using 4.3% of CPU at most. I do not see any slowdowns for any other program. So this is not a CPU constrained problem. And it certainly is not memory constrained.

All this started within the past month and I think it was after I put on an ESR update (don't remember which one).

I can kill T-Bird and start it and it will get mail if any, and will function for about 5 minutes and then freezes (or hangs). The system is set to fetch mail on start up and then every 27 minutes. I am not using Account hub (and don't know what it does).

One oddity -- This is a W11 Home system, and Mozilla keeps saying it is a W10 system. Could this be the problem? Wife is running a lesser laptop. It is also running T-Bird, but her O/S is a W11 Pro and she is not having this problem.

So I know these websites are kind of crap anyway, but I have issues with scrolling bsky.social (and other clients for it like witchsky) and twitter. The further into the timeline I get, the more frequently these webpages lag.

They begin freezing every few seconds for a few seconds, during which they queue left or right clicks, page up/page down, and various other commands, only processing them once it unfreezes. Firefox itself still works during this freeze, e.g. opening the main menu. Also, I can still scroll up or down to a limited degree, though this just exposes empty, unrendered webpage until it unfreezes.

bsky.social has had this problem for a long time, but twitter only recently developed this issue after I had to do a cache clear, cookie clear, etc. trying to log in a few weeks ago. Prior to that it didn't have this issue.

Task manager hasn't really helped elucidate what's wrong, so it might be an about:config that I set or even an unruly extension, but I really don't know what to try.
