The latest version of an extension I use (specifically Leechblock NG) is not (yet) compatible with android, and after I accidentally deleted it it doesn't show up under "Find more add-ons". https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/ still exists, but the "Add to firefox" button is greyed out. When I go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/versions/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/leechblock-ng/versions/ it shows old versions and lets me download them, but there is no way to add it to Firefox for Android.

Hello,

we have a BigBlueButton Server setup for our company. Until recently we used a TURN-Server to tunnel the UDP connections thrugh the firewall.

Due to performance issues we wanted to try and let the clients connect directly to the udp ports 16000 - 32000

In Chrome this works as expected.

In Firefox however when we set "media.peerconnection.turn.disable" to "true" FF does not find any WebRTC candidates. We checked the logs and it says there:

"relay only option is set without any TURN server configured" "relay/proxy only option results in ICE TCP being disabled"

But thats NOT true! The option "media.peerconnection.ice.relay_only" is definetly set to "false"

Tested on FF 115.5.0 ESR and 120.0.1

Does anyone have an idea whats happening here? Why doesnt FF even try to make a direct connection?

UPDATE: I just ran a test on our dev system. If we configure BBB so that it does not offer any TURN-servers, FF uses a direct connection. Sadly that is not possible, since we need the TURN server for external connections. When there are TURN-Candidates but TURN is disabled via FF config no connection is established at all. This definetly semms like a bug in FF, since the browser should still be able to simply try and connect directly.

Thank you for you support

So gmail is doing what it does best by blocking users who don't routinely sign in on their site. Right now I have lost access to 6 emails I use pretty much daily.

Does TB have any plans on tweeking the program so when someone using TB and has gmail accounts will actually be recognized by gmail as a legit sign-in? One would think gmail's system would treat a sign-in by TB the same as it does physically being on gmails site to sign-in...right? Apparently not.

Also, after the last update, TB is not handling gmail folders very well. I have to wait to see what I deleted, saved, etc..compared to before. It looks like TB is signing into gmail for each and every process instead of the one time per account? Why? This might explain why gmail keeps telling me "You have attempted to sign into your account too many times...please come back later" This is after one attempt to physically sign-in on each of these 6 accounts. Now they blocked sign-ins to all of them thinking I'm a hacker.

I'm not complaining, just trying to understand.

Hi

   In order to develop the oath2 authentication method for a Server., What is configuration required to make  in the thunderbird to redirect URL for token . How to achieve this using server and client URL htttp  request?

How Oauth2 is supported for different cloud services like google, ms, yahoo. How Thunderbird knows which URL to connect for OAuth2 service for different cloud providers?

Thanks Prakash

TB won't allow access to Gmail, Google Log-in screen (fake?) pops up and produces error message.

I have been accessing GMail from TB for some years and made the necessary security changes last year, when Google required them. TB is set up for Gmail exactly as prescribed in the GMail site. We are travelling and I am using Linux Mint (system info attached) with a Huawei 3G data router and WorldSim payg sim (We have had some issues with French sites that block us using these). Just recently, within the last week, instead of Thunderbird logging on to Gmail and downloading mail, a "Google" login screen appears (screenshot attached). It does this even if I log onto google and Gmail with firefox. If I click on "Next" an error screen appears (attached)

Thunderbird is unusable at this point because it claims my password is incorrect. It still didn't like my password after going in to preferences and putting it in again. So I deleted the password. Now it wants me to "Enter my credentials" for my yahoo email, but the form is completely BLANK!

I have my Windows theme set to dark, so the fact a lot of people like to send emails where the text is set to black instead of default is kind of annoying, especially since with the email I'm currently trying to reply to, I can't seem to reset the color so I actually read back what I'm typing. Good luck reading this, even with the help of it being selected

Thunderbird has its Events, i.e. to-do list items. macOS has Reminders Reminders[1], i.e. its form of to-do list items. It seems that while the macOS Reminders app only operates on reminders which are synced with the Apple iCloud service, there is nevertheless a repository of events/reminders local to the Mac, and it is managed via the EventKit[2] API.

Can Thunderbird for macOS sync its collection of Events with the macOS collection of Reminders, perhaps by calling EventKit?

My use case is that I have a set of events which I curated on a previous version of macOS, using the previous Reminders app. When I migrated to macOS 12 Monterey, the new Reminders app refused to show me my event data unless I synced it with iCloud. I do not want to put this data on anyone's cloud. However, macOS will show me notifications for some of my events. That is evidence that the event data remains locally. I would be happy to use Thunderbird as the front end to curate this local event data. I have just migrated to Thunderbird 115, starting with 115.5.1 on macOS 12.7.1 Monterey.

Hello fam.

I just downloaded an extension of a particular app. It's expected that the app automatically connects with the browser as I click to join them but it keeps failing. How do I rectify this?

How do I recover my lost emails, folders, accounts, and go back to where I was before an unrequested Thunderbird update last week. Also how do I find out what version I was using, so I can go back to it. colink1946@gmail.com Regards. Colin.

In previous versions of TB there was an option to select a different folder under "Server Setting > When I delete a message > Move it to this folder". The only option I currently see is to choose a folder but only for the same email account. Windows 10 - TB ver 115.5.1 (64-bit)

I am using version 115.5.1, but I have noticed this with previous versions as well. When I copy the contents of my Profile to back it up, I get the following message for SQLITE files: Item Not Found Could not find this item This item is no longer located in C:\Users\hasmo\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\arbdst7o.default Verify the item's location and try again abook.sqlite-shm Type: SQLITE-SHM file Size 32.0 KB Date modified: 12/4/2023 9:31 AM

If I click "try again", I get the same message. If I click "skip", the copying proceeds until the next SQLITE file, and I repeat the skipping process. This appears to happen for all the SQLITE files (SHM and WAL). Fortunately, I have not had occasion to need the Profile file to replace what I am currently using in Thunderbird, but I have had issues in the past that required me to use the back up to replace/recreate my Profile. My question is about these SQLITE files. Will skipping them in the copying be a problem later if I need to use the back up? If so, how do I keep the SQLITE files in copying process?

Thanks, Harry

Added several email addresses to an existing address list, now get error "Choir-2023 <Choir members> is not a valid email address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the email." when trying to use the list. Other address lists are usable.

Hi,

I'm having a issue with the current Thunderbird not saving my Gmail account when added.

So, I add it, when I close Thunderbird down and reboot it the Gmail account is gone.

I have three other accounts working fine (A domain name, a Hotmail, and a different Gmail account)

Any idea's?

Hello. I have my own self hosted mail server and I would like to use OIDC/Oauth2 authentification anbd take benefit of MFA/WebAuthN. I am interested in using OAuth connection with Thunderbird

Right now the definition of clientId, scopes, endpoints are hardcoded here: https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central/blob/master/mailnews/base/src/OAuth2Providers.jsm

Do you have any tip to add our own server definition without needing to recompile Thunderbird ?

I saw previously it seems to be possible to append definition via this hack; https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/addons/Tc85dff9ce12063c6-Mca4319b1e41dfa4b426e22fc/extension-to-add-custom-oauth-provider but now ChromeUtils.import() exports only EXPORTED_SYMBOLS which contains only getters functions

Another manner could be to improve https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central/blob/master/mailnews/base/src/OAuth2Providers.jsm and add function where a plugin could append new definition Do you have any suggestion, better idea ?

Kind Regards, Edouard

I can receive emails but I cannot send emails with Thunderbird. When I try to send an email I get the error message: "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username info@mybusiness.com (not my real email address) failed". When I click on "Enter new password" nothing happens, the Window to enter the new password doesn't pop up just the same error message as above appears. Already tried everything I found in the forum as I see I am not the only one with this problem but nothing helped so far. Changed from OAuth2 to Normal password, deleted the OAuth and SMTP lines in Settings-Security-Saved Passwords but no difference... My system: Windows: 11 Home 10022631 Build 22631 (all updates) Thunderbird Version: 115.51 (latest version) Firewall/Antivirus: Windows Defender (all updates) 1.401.1565.0 Mail provider: Office 365 business (business email address: info@mybusiness.com) SMTP Settings: Description: name@mybusiness.com Server smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Security: STARTTLS Auth method: OAuth2 User name: name@mybusiness.com (see attachment) I hope someone can help me otherwise I have to use Outlook in which btw I can send emails and as well with my Gmail mail client so the problem is definitely with Thunderbird. Thanks for any help!
