I had a Firefox update I believe last Friday 16th August. This resulted in a disastrous event whereby an error message displayed: error message 129. I finally managed to open a version of Firefox but I had lost all my bookmarks and open tabs. I also had to sign in to all existing websites which I had previously automatically had access to. The strange thing was that the version of Firefox that I had opened was from 2022 sometime because of the data that appeared. I am totally devastated by the loss of my bookmarks. :( What can you do to help?

Dear support, I got an e-mail from Microsoft, that they're not gonna allow regular password authentification coming September and I've had trouble connecting one of my two hotmail.com-accounts for months now (the apparently common problem where it claims that the password is incorrect - which it isn't). I thought, it's a perfect opportunity to fix both these issued by getting the OAuth2 thing to work. I'm on Windows 11 using TB 115.12.2 I can't get it to work : ( I did all the steps in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202 except that I couldn't select OAuth2 for my former smpt outgoing server (sorry if I'm using these words wrong, I really have no expertise in this area) "smtp-mail.outlook.com" - it's not in the dropdown menu. I tried forcing it in over the confid editor (which worked, I mean, I could open the pop-up again and it would have the OAuth2 selected), but no mails. I tried to instead just put in that office365 server that is given in all the examples (since I don't know how anything works, I thought I'd give it a try). There I could regularly select the OAuth2, but it still didn't work. I should get some pop-up or browser-thing or something to do this fun verification thing but I don't and I really don't know what to do.. I tried resetting everthing back to it's former state but now my main hotmail-account also has the wrong-password-problem... : (( Do you have any good ideas? Thank you in advance and have a good day Charlie

Thunderbird did an automatic update late today and since then have been unable to send emails. Incoming emails appear to be working.
I am using a Gmail IMAP account
The error message is - " Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username stevematulick@gmail.com failed. "
When I then select cancel then get a further Error message -
"Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'. "

Old messages in the Inbox are listed twice, including those that have been read. New incoming messages are not duplicated, messages where I've deleted the duplicates are not again duped. Messages that get filtered to or moved to folders are not duped. Old messages that are in folders are not duped.
I have several email accounts in TB, and I only see this on my most active- of course! I have compacted all folders many times and rebuilt the Global Database with no effect. I tried opening in Troubleshooting mode and they are still duplicated. It is a POP account.

As noted by others about recently-prior versions of Firefox, version 129 ALSO fails to play videos (on Amazon Prime) at HD even though other browsers, Chrome and Edge as examples, work perfectly well. This problem MAY have started with a fairly recent version of Firefox (like 127 or 128). See the post right here by another user, earlier Firefox version, with the EXACT same problem:

Hi
I hope someone can provide me with some advice.
I have used Thunderbird since its birth and have always found it reliable. However the latest release seems to be having problems with moving emails.
Example 1 - I moved an email from my Inbox to a special folder. The email was present in full before the move. Only the header appeared to be copied. I could not undo this and attempting repair on both inbox and other folder failed, as did exit and re-start. The result is that this email is lost.
Example 2 - I went to do a bulk move from the search window (something I have done hundreds of times before without incident). As usual CTRL A, Move to <new folder>, emails greyed out but nothing happens. Exit, return, repeat - same result.
At other times, both these type of operations work fine. But it is unpredictable.
Relatedly, I observe that on start-up the Inbox initially shows as <no messages> and takes several seconds to populate. Also, my auto-filing Rules are also working inconsistently.
These two points, and the two examples, are new issues for me since 128 release. I am using Windows 10 Pro on an HP Envy 17" laptop.
Any suggestions welcome as I am now concerned about losing emails!
Best wishes Roland

Hi, helping my 80 year old father to try Thunderbird because he has a massive amount of emails and folders/labels (literally thousands of folders/labels!!!) and Outlook can't handle it unless you Archive stuff which is annoying and cumbersome.
His email account is with Google Gmail.
So far, Thunderbird is handling attempting to fully sync with his Gmail account much better than Outlook.
However, after downloading thousands of emails into a large portion of the thousands of folders & sub-folders, Thunderbird stopped doing that.
If I click on an individual folder, it instantly starts downloading them, and I only have to click on each folder quickly and then Thunderbird will eventually downloading all the emails into all the folders I have clicked on.
However, my Dad has THOUSANDS of folders so even clicking on each one quickly would take a very....long....time.
I have researched this a bunch and I've verified the following:
Account Settings --> Synchronization & Storage --> Message Synchronizing --> Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer = ON
Account Settings --> Synchronization & Storage --> Disk Space --> Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age = ON
I have also done the following:
Settings --> General --> very bottom right of list Config Editor --> mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new = changed to "true"
No luck so far.
If someone wants to switch to Thunderbird and has a huge number of folders, and wants to download all emails so that any email will show up in a search, there must be a better way to get Thunderbird to download them all in an automated way, no?

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?

Hy ! The version of TB y run is 128.1.0esr (32 bits) under Windows 10. I am a user since 2005. Under "disk space in "local folders", I have (translated) " never delete messages"
While seaching old messages, I just discovered that, although theses messages appear in the list of messages of local folders, there is a lot of theses local folders where, when I click on a message in the list, a window opens whith an empty content.
This does not occur the same way for all the folders : for example, in one of them, the messages dated 2005 do not open (they appear in an empty window), while messages dated 2006 and earlier open as usual. Other example, in another folder, containing messages dated 2008 to 2010, not any opens in another way than an empty window.
I have tried to ask my question in the mozilla forum the 15 th august, but no answer. That is why I try on this site. I have translated here the question I posted on the mozilla forum in French, my native langage, and I hope it will be understandable ...
==> Do you have an idea of why this happens and what I should do see again the content of these precious old messages ( my genealogy and others)
Best regards, GV, Cannes, France

Hello, I just installed the new Thunderbird 128 nebulla to try it.
All my messages are looking fine except for one, which is displayed as HTML code (see 1st screenshot). In Outlook or in Yahoo mail (also see screenshot from yahoo mail how it should look like), it works fine so I don't understand. I haven't done any special settings in Thunderbird.
I also tried to change the 3 choices from the menu "body" inside this email (as show on my 3rd screenshot) (original HTML, simple HTML and simple TEXT) but this does not change anything.
The 1st screenshot shows the exact way it is displayed on my Thunderbird. The 2nd shows the correct display in yahooMail.
Thank you merci.

When I click the button to “repair a folder”, some e-mails have disappeared.
The inbox file is too heavy and cannot be opened as a text file.
I moved the defaults file to an external HDD and saved it over the defaults file on my computer. I could not restore them.
Is there any other way to recover my email?

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.
