I have had Thunderbird accounts, on various laptops, for many years. I'm trying to get it working, with my existing account, on a fairly new Windows 11 laptop. Everything was working fine until I get to the "Set Up Your Existing Email Address" page. Entered my actual name, email address, and (I believe) password. Chose IMAP, as always. It's stuck on "Checking password". The little dot has ben rolling back and forth for 3 hours. Can someone help me?

Hello, my Firefox will not run no matter what I try.

I originally installed Firefox from the Microsoft Store and it worked perfectly for about a week. Then it stopped opening. When attempting to run the app, a loading cursor briefly appears and nothing happens. It is not visible in task manager processes.

Uninstalled and reinstalled several times - no luck.

Installed Firefox directly from website - still doesn't run, but it does pop up with a "crash report" window.

Can anybody help me out?

Oh and what is the point of a QR code on a phone when there is nothing to scan it with? And I cannot access Google play.

8 Feb 2025. Using samsung galaxy z flip 5, audiotechnica mth20x bt over bluetooth. Firefox mobile. Audio played from firefox app has gone wonky, hearing popping noises while audio plays. Have isolated this issue to Firefox, on other apps audio does not have decreased fidelity. Other devices also do not pose this same issue. Any idea why?

Thanks to all very much, Cheers, Vinman52

I keep thunderbird pinned to my Windows taskbar and that is usually where I look for it. Every so often and much mor6e frequently than I like it vanishes from there and I believe that that is when it an update to it arrives. To maintain the state I like I then need to delete the now-dead pinning for the taskbar, find thunderbird afresh and leunch it and re-pin. This is not a terribly new behaviour but the grief threshold in my life has just been passed leading me to ask if this is a thunderbird issue or a windows one and if there is some scheme I can use to keep the application pinned pretty well come what may. This is obviously not life critical but it has been winding me up! Many thanks. Arthur
