On Saturday morning 27 June 2026 I tried to login my Orcon email account via Thunderbird (which I have been using for a long time). But my login didn't work, I got a message saying "login to POP3.orcon.net.nz with username habitation failed." On 30th June 2026 I reported the problem to Orcon.

Orcon gave me the following settings for Thunderbird. I have done that and even made a new account: Incoming Server Type: IMAP Mail Server: imap.orcon.net.nz Port: 143 SSL: Off Authentication: On (username and password required)

Outgoing SMTP Server: Mail Server: smtp.orcon.net.nz Port: 25 SSL: Off Authentication: Off

Since then I have spent many hours and going around in circles with Orcon's Technical Support to resolve this, but no luck. They blame Thunderbird. I used Thunderbird Troubleshoot Mode. The message that comes up reads: login to server mail orcon.net.nz with username habitation failed. Please can you check that your server settings above are correct? And if there is a bug? Irma

This small but negatively impactful change is wrecking my workflow. Can anyone help with a userChrome.css fix to restore the old functionality?

Team Mozilla: *please* fix this likely unintended change in the next update.

If a customer is already using Mozilla VPN, Firefox should not be offering its own internal VPN. It is counterproductive. A simple test should be written into Firefox.

eg https://transportnsw.info/opal-view/#/account/cards is meant to show down arrow next to name - does not appear; go to Profile, Edit address - 'Save as delivery address' checkbox and Submit button do not work. Also had this on the StGeorge bank page https://www.ui.stgeorge.com.au/resolve/etb0/createCustComplaint - Next button does not work. other sites as well have buttons not working (about 20% of sites?) (Sorry both the above examples need accounts to test). Often (not always) if I open the page with Chrome it works. I think they were working ok after macOS update but after a Firefox update went to a very light screen - problem started then.

Also - using about:support the copy raw data button works; the copy text button does not.

Thanks

I open firefox. Homepage is there. I open a new page. A new screen appears which completely obliterates the former screen. As if I had just opened the internet. With the next page I go to, it is the same. Previous screens masked. And so on, and so on. Instead of separate tabs appearing at the top of the initial page

Thunderbird keeps asking for my passwords for my email account and that of my husband. Despite being on the phone for 90 minutes with Virgin Media and giving them remote control of my computer, the problem is still there, even though it did work for 5 minutes whilst the Virgin operative was on my screen. He signed off and when I looked at my Thunderbird accounts soon after, the problem was back again. All the settings and passwords are definitely correct, so why does it keep asking for passwords every few seconds? Retry, enter new password, cancel. I even made a £10 donation to Thunderbird yesterday, in hope. I am so frustrated because my husband has Parkinson's and I need our emails to work. What on earth is causing this problem or has Thunderbird itself crashed out of existence ?????????????????

My old laptop died, stranding my Firefox profile (including bookmarks and Login credentials for many sites). I am able to connect the old laptop's HDD via USB to port the old profile data to the new laptop, but I am afraid that copying the older files to the new profile will overwrite the newer profile data. I would like to create a second profile, in which to store the old data, in the newer laptop's instantiation of Firefox, but I don't see any information online about doing this. Is it possible to create multiple profiles in Firefox for this purpose? Thank you

Hello all, i have a bit off an off one. I had a usb keyboard plugged into my laptop and and it had something sitting on it, I forgot it was there. I was using the laptop normal, and usually i use the CTRL and wheel on my usb mouse to zoom. But because of whatever buttons where pressed.. IT DELETED TABS(quite a few!)more thank the recent closed tabs could handle... i tired to do the session restore thing but im not super tech savy and messed that up.. But i do still have a copy of the json file thingy, but the backup thing got over written.. can i still recover with the one copy. The instructions are not the easiest to understand. Please help, i dont research and its been hard gathering that information. Thanks and if you need any more info just let me know!

I'm under a network that blocks Gmail. I have a gmail on my Thunderbird Windows 11 client.

When I do not use a VPN, I cannot access gmail. I have the VPN on and off during the day.

From time to time ThunderBird shows me a notification "Connection to server imap.gmail.com timed out". This notification is almost useless to me as I expect that connections to gmail fails. Meanwhile, it's distracting.

I'd like to turn of this notification without turning off notifications for new email and calendar events.
