When I play a video in firefox android, the sound does not play from my bluetooth devices, only from the phone speakers. If I play the same video from another browser, the sound is in my bluetooth devices. The bluetooth works perfectly with all other apps. Thx for your help !

I need to move about 50-100 emails from one profile to another.

I am using the current Thunderbird and using POP3 on a PC running Windows 10.

I lost thousands of emails (not sure why) but after a few days was able to set up the profile from a backup to recover them.

Now I need to get the emails that came in and were sent during the week it took me to set up the backup profile.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling settings on its own.

Specifically 2 settings on the general tab keep enabling themselves in the "browsing" section, "Recommend extensions as you browse" and "Recommend features as you browse"

I have disabled these settings dozens of times now, and every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling these 2 settings on its own.

Just now I updated to v128.0 and these 2 settings turned themselves on again.

Why is Firefox not respecting my settings? Why is Firefox allowed to modify my settings without my permission?

I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox already. I don't use profiles and am not signed into the browser, so no settings are getting carried over that way.

I use k-9 email on android phone and tbird on desk top.

I have messages on K9 I need to read on desktop but the don't appear on tbird client even though they are clearly visible on k-9

I tried to forward it but even tho k9 appears to send it is not delivered when I look in tBird

I need attachement.

First, here's how I process incoming email, which first goes to my Gmail address. I delete about half of my messages unread, and about one-quarter more after reading/scanning them. The remainder are then downloaded after I open TB on my Windows PC and select Get Mail (F5).

'Until about Aug. 20, everything worked as planned, even though TB was also downloading some of my Sent messages.

But since then, with no setup changes made by me, TB also includes ALL the messages that I previously deleted at the Gmail site. So I must delete them again, a tedious, annoying process. Experimenting, I overcame the problem by permanently deleting the trashed messages at Gmail before launching TB. It also amount to double deleting, but it is much faster that way.

WHAT MUST I DO to restore the previous functionality of this process?

I'm not a techie, but began using Eudora over 25 years ago, so PLEASE don't replies with guesses.

Recently a pop-up asks me to enter a password to receive/send messages in my Thunderbird emails. Each time I enter the password, the pop-up message comes back w/in seconds asking me to retry or enter new password or cancel. It seems there is difficulty logging in as imap-mail.outlook.com has failed to connect. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can correct this issue? In simple terms please with step-by-step directions. Thank you kindly!!!

Very recently, when I click on "write" to do a new email I get the normal form but the body of the email is totally weird - paragraphs of some sort of "code" that looks like this:

- PK?????!ߤ�lZ? ????[Content_Types].xml �??(�?���n�0?E���?��Ub袪*?�>�-R�??{?V��Ǽ��??QU?� l"%3��3Vƃ�ښl ?�w%�?=���^i7+���-d?&�0�A�6�l4��?L6?0#�Ò�S O����?X��*��V$z�3?��?3����?��%p)O�???^�??���5}

I need to delete this stuff before writing the email. What do I need to do to get rid of this? Thanks

Hi-my question is simple, why is Thunderbird locked to me past 08/07/2024. I have answered lots of security questions but still can't access my emails. Arthur Sutton

I seem to have a problem with Firefox's builtin PDF viewer. Instead of black text on a white or gray background or something else sensible, I get black text floating over my desktop background in the part of the Firefox window that's showing a PDF. PDFs display fine in an external viewer, but that's just passing the buck, isn't it? Is there a way to fix this on Firefox?

I suspect hardware acceleration is the issue, but everything else seems fine, so I don't want to just blanket disable hardware acceleration. How can acceleration for PDFs alone be disabled?

Under Thunderbird v128.1.1esr the passwords of accounts couldn't be saved via password manager. The list of saved passwords is empty. But if I run Thunderbird in debug mode the list is shown correctly. What can I do to not been prompted everytime for passwords ?

I not really sure what is going on but about 2 days ago I started having an issue where I have no sound within Firefox. I have tried using youtube, ign, other video sites etc. This affects my primary speakers which are set as my default audio device. When I use my headphones, I do have sound.

When I use any other application whether it is steam and the advertisements built into it for game trailers etc, GoG and i'm running a game, running another third party app for games, I have sound on all devices with no issues.

I have checked to see if my settings are mirrored for each device and cannot find any differences. When running youtube in Microsoft Edge and Firefox, my settings are the same but only Edge gets sound. I have tried doing all of this with and without addons installed for Firefox. I have also disabled VPN, tried PC restarts and a fresh install of Firefox.

This is a continuing problem that showed up on version 127, maybe 128, and continued through 129, and now to 130.0.

Attempts using Firefox to play movies at HD (highest 6GB data resolution) fail. Using, for example, the Edge browser works fine. This problem showed up as noted in the first sentence of this post. Manually changing an obscure "about:config" variable from 1 to 0 did not fix the problem.

I just updated to 130.0, immediately tried to play a movie at highest resolution, it failed. Changed the obscure variable from the value it had, 0, to 1 and it failed still. Changed it back to 0 and it failed.

Thunderbird periodically request to compact my emails. I generally do the compact when requested. The last time I did a compact the emails in my inbox were still listed in the message list header pane but when I tried to go back and read them, they were either blank or a whole bunch of alphanumeric characters were displayed. The emails in my send file were not affected and none of the emails in my other various folders were affected. Searching around on this forum I found that selecting the inbox folder and then properties->repair may be the answer, but it just wiped out the recent inbox emails. The emails that had come in after the compact process. All new emails that come in are readable and I can see them in the message pane. I hope you can help. Thank you

I am using windows 10 Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎8/‎24/‎2020 OS build 19045.4780 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

I quit working for a company and my email account with them was closed. However, I like to keep the emails around just to have some history.So I am trying to disable the account without wiping it out of my thunderbird. Following advice from another question, I turned off checkboxes in my server settings (shown in image).However, regardless of this, whenever I open thunderbird and various other times besides, it pops up this demand for my password for that account (second image, note the banner at the top). How can I REALLY TRULY deactivate the account so that thunderbird will never again try to read anything from it?

Good day,

In random emails, I have a problem like in the picture. It means that the email content is corrupted, the subject and the rest of the data match. For other colleagues in the same mailbox, the email content displays correctly.

Do you have any ideas for this problem?
