Starting from a few weeks ago, incoming messages written in HTML no longer display the HTML. As far as I know, I have not changed any relevant settings. I do my own mail in plain text, but I still like to be able to display HTML-based messages properly. My Thunderbird is running on windows 10.

Please explain in simple terms (I am not an IT wizz) how I can stop the continual popups in Firefox 128 and Thunderbird 78 on a Windows 11 OS saying “Update Available” with a Download button very easily activated by mistake.

Each time I click Dismiss, a new popup appears either immediately or very soon. The popup blocks a significant area of the screen and will not move.

I already have Update Settings on “Check for updates but let you choose to install them”. There is no option to “Do not check for updates” on these versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. I already have Windows 11 Notification Settings on “Do not disturb” and all Firefox notifications to Off.

I have found the Mozilla Support article “Customising Firefox using Group Policy” at  https://mzl.la/3bLnw2J but I do not understand it and the device I am using is not part of a group installation setup. 

There is a Step by Step guide “How to stop Firefox update notifications” on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD-oXxrCCRs . This is clear to follow if I pause it frequently to absorb each step carefully. Is this safe for me to try given that I am very inexperienced in using the command line and accessing registry etc?

The Thunderbird popups have only recently started up and I would value advice on how to stop these safely too. I need this version of Thunderbird at present for particular reasons related to gmail so it is important I do not accidentally activate a download on that.

I turned on my computer and went into my mail and all my mail has been sent to junk. I am also trying to go to the POP3 but the system keeps resetting back to IMAP.

Thunderbird says it cannot download email to my mailbox. Plenty of cache space. Plenty of disk space. The local service provider server is not the problem. I can send but not receive. Any ideas?

Hi Guys, I have been experiencing an issue for the past week where I get a blank white screen when trying to log into Outlook using Firefox. I can access my Outlook account without any problems on my iPhone and in the Brave browser, but Firefox just won't work it gives blank screen. Has anyone else encountered this problem? What could be causing it, and how can I fix it to prevent it from happening again?

Very frustrated with browser closing and not saving my tabs. Just got a brand new laptop and had everything set up but when I shut down system overnight, this morning I booted up and nothing was saved in Firefox!!!! HOURS of work wasted. So I again spent all morning doing it all again. Just now -- my browser closed automatically in the middle of work I was doing and everything disappeared again. I have been a LOYAL user of Firefox for years but I'm not doing this again. I despise all other options but need urgent help NOW to guide me through. Is it this Private Browsing? thing that showed up I didn't choose? How do I get rid of it? I'm a novice online but can be taught. Waste of my life and time....

Hello, I want to drag and drop webpage to note to embed it, but it doesn't work in Firefox. https://youtu.be/ICpoyMv6KSs&t=725

Is there a way to fix it? Thank you.

But this same website can be accessed by another browser like brave and edge. NOTE: I'm using WINDOWS DEFENDER as security software.

I have Thunderbird email on an old computer and also on newer iPad. I use the same Tb account for both. I want to disable Tb on the old computer without deleting the account on the IPad. At present, if I delete emails on iPad, they still appear on old computer when I log in. Your advice would be appreciated.

Need access to Motley Fool site to appear completely on screen instead of having a partial screen showing some Motley Fool signs but not being able to utilize normal activity. Had no trouble for many months of subscription getting access to the site and being able to read any articles I want. I have contacted Motley Fool several times and we have tried many things to solve problem but had no problem solving results.

In firefox developer edition, when opening a new window of any kind, or when relaunching/opening the app, the new tab button always ends up on the left hand side. Going to the customization menu, I can move the button to the right side (next to the last tab), which is where I prefer it, however when opening any new window the button goes back to the left side

Please add "delete" option to context menu when using the search feature in Thunderbird. Having an icon in the context menu is trendy but is unclear to older users.

I was working on figuring out an imap timeout problem (previous forum question) when I accidentally deleted the Inbox folder. No problem, I thought, cuze imap protocol will recreate that folder when thunderbird restarts. Problem is, it did, but after a period of time (10-15 mins) the Inbox and Trash (which I didn't delete) disappear. Nothing I do seems to recreate them. Message Synchronizing is on and Inbox & Trash are checked. Doesn't matter if unread emails are in there. When I restart thunderbird Inbox and Trash are back but then disappear.

Details: Windows 10 Home 22H2 Thunderbird 128.3.1esr
