The very first time I opened Firefox and tried to do a search I got a hijacker:

https://search-owl.com/?path=firefox/newtab&u=895622cd6e29c107&subid=11118&channel=18

Why?

I did a scan with both Malwarebytes and with TotalAV, no detections.

I stopped using Chrome and Brave because I had another hijacker (Yohoo!). I used Malwarebytes to quarantine and delete that because my paid subscription to TotalAV didn't find it. Now I'm stuck with an all new different hijacker upon installation of Firefox.

Basically, i need my tabs restored. I tried lurking around. I lurked moar. I chatGPT it. I even tried to find tech support. Nothing helpful ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I have a lot of tabs that i need and they accumulated over months of my chrome usage. I successfully restored history and other things, but not open tabs. Well, how do i restore them or do i have to manually open all of them?

Note: i deleted chrome already

I used to troubleshoot when Thunderbird would fail to download new messages by looking at the last successfully downloaded email. But I can't find the error log. I'm pretty sure older versions allowed you to see the error log under Tools. But it isn't there and developer section is not helpful. I have tons of message filters going into folders so it is impossible to identify the last successful email download.

How am I to fix this issue if there is no longer a way to see failed email downloads via the error log?

I wasn't happy with the UI changes burying the menus into the hamburger on the side, but figured I could live with it. Not sure the benefit, maybe it looks cleaner? But removing functionality at the same time is really NOT helpful.

Anyone have any ideas how to find the error log or find the email causing Thunderbird to stop seeing downloadable emails?

I setup and new email account for my website on NO-IP. I have two other accounts that were setup on earlier versions of Thunderbird that allowed manual configurations.

I started to add the account but got some warnings and quit. So I started over and now this latest update never gets to the manual update options. I get to the page, shown in the attached file, which never does anything. I can only press the Esc key and exit.

So I manually added the outgoing server, thinking that might work, but it did not. Any ideas how I can get the new email address working?

A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version, or create a new profile for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires setting up your accounts, calendars and add-ons again.

THIS NEEDS AN OPTION TO CONTINUE USING OLD PROFILE. YOU JUST MADE THUNDERBIRD USELESS TO ME. DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CREARE A NEW PROFILE. SHOULD NOT NEED TO. CAN NOT START IT AFTER MANY YEARS OF USE. PREFERRED OLD VERSION OF ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. JAY

eMClient generates nice, colorful, easily identified icons in the email list. For example, an email from Redfin is a bright, big, red R. From Bark, a blue dog. From Zillow, the Zillow symbol.

This is a great feature when visually searching the Inbox.

Is there a means to have Thunderbird do this?

I have had an issue for quite some time now where I cannot set any details on my email addresses from the Account Settings screen on my Thunderbird install.

This has been an issue for quite some time I believe. The significance of the issue is that I cannot change SMTP servers because not only is the setting blank but when I select another SMTP it returns to default every time.

128.9.0esr (64-bit)

Please help! I am having to use a secondary email address for some of my clients because I cannot set up an SMTP server for them.

I have long had an ESR version (140.1.1) on my Win11, for which I had selected all the defaults from the installer around a year ago.

I followed [instructions] to migrate to the Release version (141.0).

I imported the same profile as that exported by the ESR version.

ISSUE: Now I have 2 separate installations of Thunderbird as shown in Windows "Apps" panel, the old and the new one. Both are 64 bit. Each holds its' own versions of my folders and synchronizes separately.

QUESTION: What's the best way to resolve this? I only want the Release version, but fear a process (that I imagine on my own) which will damage one or both. Such is my luck with these matters.

Thanks in advance, AL

My ISP (Sonic.net) is good at sending spam to the Graymail folder. But from there it is two steps to delete messages: to Trash, and then delete for real. Is it possible to create a TBird filter to send graymail straight to Trash? Using TB 128.11.0 64-bit on Windows 11.

got a new PC, trying to add my email accounts to thunderbird. everything is working except for my hotmail account. I have tried reinstalling, changing settings etc. I removed my account from thunderbird on the old PC tried adding it to the new pc and I just keep getting this error "Exchange auth error" I cannot change the 02uthentic type as i cant add the outlook account. I have no problems adding it back to the thunderbird on the old pc. I have changed my password 4 times thinking it was the problem but nothing. this is what i get everytime.

I have signed into the web and made sure the "imap is on to allow other apps, programs etc" still get nothing. I downloaded the thunderbird app to my phone to try and i have no problem adding my hotmail account. it's only on this new pc with thunderbird, both tunderbirds are the same build# 140.2.0 on both new and old pc.

any help would be awesome, thank you
