Running Firefox 133.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 desktop

Periodically, Firefox will freeze and send the message "Firefox must be restarted to continue". After restarting, Firefox takes a long time to recover. This morning, it took nearly 5 minutes to recover.

For starters, I'm using Firefox 133.0 (64-bit), Windows 10, Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse (and I've used this mouse forever and a day)

In ONLY Google Messages for web, the vertical scrollbar is skinny and doesn't work well. I have to click above it and then it's hit or miss if it will scroll.

I have NO issues with any other website so far. In Chrome and Brave browsers I have no issues with Google Messages. It seems this is uniquely a Firefox with Google Messages issue.

I'm curious if there is a way to fix this. One time for grins, I right clicked the scroll bar and selected Inspect. I was able to figure out how to widen the scrollbar and that helped; however, it was only for that session. I did not see a way to "save" those changes.

PS: This mouse does NOT have a scroll wheel. Using a mouse WITH a scroll wheel works. But then again, with my Logitech marble mouse I depend on the scroll bars and have no issues with any other website. Thanks.

Hi all.

I'm wondering if someone can help me with an issue I'm having with the Firefox autofill function. Which has just stopped working.

Absolutely a first world problem BUT its super irritating as now I have to manually input card details when I purchase anything online. And as I purchase materialS all the time for work it's v laborious...

I'm on a Macbook Air 2020 M1 and just updated it to OS 14.6.1.

Firefox def seems to remember my various card details as they pop up on the form fields; but then disappear as soon as I try and select the one I want to use?

Ive poked around in Settings but toggling on & off / resetting etc doesn't seem to make any difference.

Any advice gratefully welcomed ;)

Hello, please help on this. When i enter to url bina.az and press photos those photos are stretched. How to fix it? Please see on attached images one taken from Firefox another from Vivaldi

Whenever I leave Firefox even for a second it's like I'm opening the browser for the first time. Example When I'm filling data in a website and leave Firefox for a second the website refreshes and I have to input the data all over again. Or When I'm playing a video on YouTube and leave the app for a bit then the YouTube website reloads and I have to trace where I left the video at. It's happening to all websites.

Firefox/Mozilla/T/Bird: When I open my inbox my emails showup. However when I click on the individual messages some open "normally" and are immediately accessible while others showup with msg notification on a black background with identifying subject but I am unable to open the content of the msg, When I click again it again the screen goes blank and back to mozilla. When I try to "Delete" I have to click on "Inbox" again and all of the unaccessible/unreadable msgs are deleted. Help Thanks Patrick

I'm using Thunderbird version: 128.5.1esr, Build ID: 20241202160748, under Linux Mint 22. My mail host is Pair Networks, and I collect my e-mail via POP3.

The problem I'm seeing is that most of the attempts which Thunderbird should be making to collect mail are apparently not happening. I'm using the activity manager in Thunderbird to tell me when connection attempts occur.

Firstly, the 'get messages' option, whether via the speed button OR the menus OR the hotkey combination, has no apparent effect.

Secondly, the setting to check for new messages at startup was apparently disregarded.

Thirdly, I decreased the interval for checking for new e-mails down to one minute. Again, the activity manager page remained blank. The check was either not happening, or wasn't being recorded.

What DID happen is Thunderbird appeared to be doing a timed check for new e-mails every 4-5 minutes. So, I called the tech support at my mailhost and asked them to check their logs. They confirmed that they were only seeing attempts to connect every four or five minutes. I called the tech support at my ISP. I'm a lot less confident in them than I am in the tech support at my mailhost, but they insisted that they didn't do anything with my connection which could interfere with attempts to collect mail.

Now, I don't really care about getting my e-mail every minute, BUT that 'get messages' option taking up to five minutes to take effect is a real nuisance in these days of two-factor authentication. I'm at a loss to think of anything else - I really can't believe that a version of Thunderbird has got out where all the above flaws are present.

MY first question is whether anybody else is seeing anything like this? Of course, if anybody has any suggestions for a fix to the problem, I'd be grateful to hear that as well. I would have posted the troubleshooting information generated by Thunderbird, but there's 84KB of the stuff, so I'm hesitant to do so.

Thanks for any info.

Until two days ago TB downloaded and sent emails quickly. Now downloading is delayed. The subject shows up but when you click it shows nothing until it finishes downloading. Similar delay with sending. When I send it takes about 30-45 seconds to complete the sending of an email. I have not made any adjustments to the settings.

How can I resolve this? Thank you

Just started using Thunderbird Mobile. On my desktop, I have checked the leave messages on server until I delete them box. However, if I bring in email on the mobile app, it deletes everything from the server. Is there any way around this?

Performance was already poor in v115, but has gotten much worse since upgrading to 128.5. This is a documented bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1906482 Are there any known workarounds? If not, how can I downgrade with losing all of my settings? I have 7 e-mail accounts and a few calendar accounts set up. This took a lot of time, since several of them require app-specific passwords. Thunderbird complains if I try to open a profile from a newer version in an older version of the software. How can I do this safely?

I've got a weird display problem that started yesterday. As I scroll along my messages list, characters start blanking. Where the blanking occurs changes as I scroll.

Screen shot attached.

A brief run with Thunderbird in safe mode doesn't seem to have this problem, but I have zero extensions installed.

H/W: Ryzen 7 7700, RX7600XT, 32 GB and 2TB SSD for C drive.

Thunderbird is the only APP I have noticed this on.

"..... because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." Hi, I have two gmail accounts and I've been having difficulty compacting folders for the last couple of days. Both of them are IMAP accounts, and I typically keep them clean and prefer to save my emails in local folders. I have tried deleting the email accounts on thunderbird and re-adding them. It worked for about 24 hours and I am getting the same message again. Running as administrator has not solved the problem. Thanks for the help, Ron

I have been using Thunderbird for over ten years and today is the first time I have ever received error messages, no less two back to back that are preventing me from downloading new messages. I know that I have sufficient disk space and don't know how to correct the rest of the errors in the 2 attached images of the error mesages.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I have TB 128.5.1esr configured to check MS Outlook mail using the Owl for Exchange extension. To resolve an issue where Outlook misfile emails, I deactivated all my local TB mail filters and replaced them with Outlook rules. Ever since, I've had trouble with displaying messages.

All my messages appear as usual in the main the main window but often when I click on one to read it the message pane is blank. The content sometimes reappears if I select and deselect the message a few times or if I use the keyboard shortcuts to start a reply. The affected messages seem random.

I've tried repairing all my folders and I've rebuilt the mail index by deleting the sqlite file from my profile but it keeps happening. I can't figure out why changing message filtering from TB to Outlook would matter but am not sure how to troubleshoot further. Has anyone else had this problem?

thanks,

My checks are not printing properly. The recipient's name and amount of check shows but the written out amount of check is missing. Is there some setting that can fix this? I have had other issues recently with printing out things that might flag a privacy setting- such as medical test results. They just won't print. Please help!

Every two or three hours, firefox locks my computer by creating thousands of tracks and temporary file megabytes. I have to power button the computer off and restart.

I have tried ridding of cache etc, but nothing works. I am running win 7 64x ultimate, and the latest firefox browser, but this issue has been going on with previous versions and over years. Yesterday the problem corrupted some files that sfc /scannow can't even fix.

Please help.
