Thunderbird Version 140.7.1esr, Build ID 20260123195141 User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 OS Linux 6.1.0-33-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.133-1 (2025-04-10) OS Theme Xfce / Adwaita Application Binary /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin

Having a problem with an ATT POP account. TB stopped getting mail. After a minute and a half or so (wish it would time-out faster), I get a pop-up box in the top right of the screen that states: "Connection to server inbound.att.net timed out" and then quickly goes away.

Deleted passwords and cannot see where to create them again, as it never prompts me for new ones.

Thanks.

Windows 10 became unavailable, but I have a copy of the drive it was on. I had tried to install Linux Mint as dual boot and couldn't get to Windows any more. Installed Linux Mint 22 on that drive, wiping out everything that was on it. Now I really want to get all of my locally saved items from the copy of the old drive onto TB in LM22. The profile folders are there, I just don't know what to do with them. FYI, all of my other data files were on other hard drives, so only the OS and apps were on the boot drive.

I need to have a telecon from the provider meet.goto.com using Firefox on my PC running Linux Mint mint-001-1.0 147.0.1 (64 bit) but I get an error message browser not supported. What can I do? Thanks

After tinkering with about:config (shouldn't have...) the background of every page that does not specify a body background color turns the color of my theme background color.

Using the firefox color pipette says its white, but it clearly isn't.

The theme i have is dark, making any page that expects the background to be white unreadable (without DevTools -> Body -> background-color: white)

I haven't been able to find the config that fixes it.

(Sorry, there is no calendar topic ... but this is about converting calendar event to email message...)

I just discovered (because I needed it for the first time) the nice and useful "Convert to ... message" feature for calendar events.

The converted event does not, however, include the date and time of the event nor the location, arguably the most important information about a calendar event. The calendar it is located in would also be handy, for those of us maintaining multiple calendars. Currently, it places the event title in the subject line, and the description in the message.

Anyone know if this is configurable? I looked in settings and didn't see anything.

Most useful would be a default template, which users could customize, perhaps per-calendar. All that I can see that is customizable about this is the sending email address, which can be set in the calendar properties.

Another issue is that this feature is not available from the event detail popup. In that case, I would think it would be not only available, but prominent. The event detail view is where I would expect most features relating to an event to be located, yet only the "Edit" button is present.

Thanks! Erik. - daily user and lover of Thunderbird!

What is the function of File / Empty Trash? Will it empty trash in all mail accounts or only the selected? If I select Blogs & News feeds will File / Empty Trash empty read posts there as well? Empty Trash is a bit unclear.

I often hit ^T (control-T) in firefox without meaning to, because I use that chord in other applications a lot. In firefox it opens a new tab, which is almost never what I want. I'd like to suppress that keyboard shortcut. I tried doing it using vimium (unmap <c-t>) but that has no effect.

Thank you, Silvio

Hi Mozilla,

i stumbled upon an extension called 'unhook' which allows to hide a wide selection of content from my view on youtube. This is amazing! Now I can watch my favourite channels without annoying stuff on every side. I would really appreciate to have something of this kind as a native feature in Firefox. So please consider this a suggestion right away or point me towards the place where I can suggest this feature correctly - if there is such.

Thanks a lot for Firefox!

After many years of using Firefox and then trying other browsers I decided to stick with Firefox now, and immediately I encounter a persistent flaw.

Mainly I browse on chess.com, I mention this because there the thing occurs and I can imagine it is quite a 'complicated' website. Stick with me. I administrate clubs and play chess there so open pages regularly, in new tabs, still generally only three simultaneously.

Every 1 in 5 times the page just gets stuck loading. Only parts appear and the little refresh icon up there doesn't show because the X stays (the one to stop loading the page). This is quite annoying. Simply by refreshing it immediately loads properly. But it is ridiculous to keep having to press F5 every couple of minutes before one can get on. As I also used Beta channel on my win11 machine I figured maybe it's that but after several updates it persisted. Now I am using the Normal channel and a Linux Mint OS and exactly the same keeps happening. I have tried a dozen remedies. Like adding an exception to the enhanced tracking in Firefox and several others and nothing fixed this. Does anyone knows how this happens?

And will Mozilla fix this? Or is it completely at the bottom of priorities because it is site specific?

Thanks for any replies (OS most recent Linux Mint Cinnamon. browser version mint-001 1.0 firefox 147.2) (Happened on Windows 11, Firefox Beta as well)

I am unable to sign in to my yahoo mail account. It gives me a fault that "something went wrong, please try another device". I can use brave as my browser and sign in with no problem but not with firefox. Any idea why?

The latest versions of Firefox (and Tor) are still fixed and work successfully in Windows 7, and this is still relevant.

After all, the Firefox team can also release updated versions, right?
