Dear Firefox.

I've now got 2 VPNs. One's called Proxy VeePN (that's how it spells it!) and the other one's your new one.

Proxy VeePN lets me use Pandora Music. Your one doesn't. Pandora can tell I'm in England on your one, it can't with Proxy VeePN (it thinks I'm in Switzerland, pretty sure.)

Why doesn't your one work with Pandora? I haven't tried it with anything else yet but then I really only use a VPN for Pandora Music anyway. Sometimes there's a couple of American games I play, but mainly Pandora. Why is it Proxy VeePN works with Pandora and yours doesn't?

Yours respectfully,

Chris, Windows 10 user cos I can't afford to buy a new computer that works with Windows 11 (I know there's a registry hack but I don't think this one's fast enough anyway, was designed for XP and tends to die a death with 10, let alone 11! Too slow. The computer, not its owner!)

Yours puzzledly,

Chris.

Mailboxes Catastrophically Deleted If Thunderbird Opened In Offline Mode After Profile Location Change

06 May 2026 USA Just to inform users:

All mailboxes and all mail in profile are catastrophically and irretrievably deleted when I: 1. Change the location of the profile folder. 2. Make appropriate change in profiles.ini reflecting the location change. 3. Launch Thunderbird in Offline Mode (launching in OFFLINE mode is the fatal event). 4. Mailboxes will appear during this one launched session

    but

5. If Thunderbird is closed while still OFFLINE, then a re-launch of Thunderbird in any state will reveal

     that all mailboxes and all mail have been deleted.

All mailboxes, and of course, all mail in the profile are catastrophically and irretrievably deleted. I was lucky that I made a backup before changing profile location.

The deletion of mail and mailboxes occur at the close of Thunderbird's OFFLINE state. An examination of the profile folder indicates the destruction has occurred upon closing of Thunderbird in OFFLINE state.

It is not the re-launch of Thunderbird that causes the catastrophic deletion. The deletion occurred when Thunderbird was closed in its OFFLINE state.

To successfully change the profile location I must: 1. Make the change to profile location. 2. Make the appropriate change to profiles.ini 3. BE SURE to make the FIRST LAUNCH of Thunderbird in ONLINE mode--ONLINE only. 4. Once 1,2,3 are done, then Thunderbird does not corrupt the profile folder.

Conditions that MIGHT make my configuration uniquely affected: 1. I use Proton Mail Bridge in conjunction with Thunderbird. 2. My Profile folder is on a network share that is letter-mapped in Windows. 3. I have about 10 email addresses in Thunderbird that are Outlook IMAP, Gmail IMAP, and of course, Proton Mail.

I've been using Thunderbird a couple of years in this configuration with no problems. I just decided to rename my profile. So, this is my first discovery of the problem.

First of all, I thank the great volunteers that have structured this great browser- Mozilla Firefox despite the persecutions from the giant Microsoft. I love Mozilla Firefox and I support it. I am of those who wrote petitions against Microsoft for undue negative manipulation of Mozilla Firefox. My petitions went to the European Union, Federal Trade Center, Independent Press Organization etc. The issue of my complaint about Mozilla Firefox is the non-functionality of Mozilla Firefox's Bookmark and History: The bookmark and History has had problem for a long-time. Most people who use Firefox admire the Bookmark and History. Once you open your computer window, on the left of the window, there is a list of your bookmark and you do not struggle to search for your favorite bookmark as in Microsoft Edge or Google It is there on your left. It is the gold standard of structuring a browser. No browser can compete with Mozilla Firefox in this respect. This is the reason Mozilla Firefox remains one of the best browsers ever. If it is Microsoft or any other group, they would have rushed to mend this defect. I know that Mozilla is made up of volunteers. Could any of the engineering volunteers see what I am saying?

After the latest update to Firefox for iOS, I can't open pages with an untrusted SSL certificate. It's a blank page. There's no threat prompt that I can accept to proceed (as before). I use Firefox for iOS primarily to log in to Ubiquiti devices on the local network (address: 192.168.x.x). Everything worked fine until recently. Now it doesn't. I cleared the browser cache, disabled security, and that didn't help. I uninstalled and reinstalled the browser, and that didn't help either. Other iOS browsers (e.g., Brave and Safari) work fine—the untrusted certificate prompt appears, and after accepting the threat, the login screen appears. Please help.

As a die-hard fan of Mozilla products for many years, I genuinely want to say thank you to the Thunderbird team for keeping such an amazing open-source project alive and improving it continuously. Thunderbird is still one of the most trusted and powerful email clients ever made, and many of us truly love using it every single day.

But from the bottom of my heart, there is one feature I strongly feel Thunderbird now urgently needs.

Please give Thunderbird a complete Mozilla Account–based sync system, just like Firefox.

Today, whenever we shift to a new computer, we still have to manually:

  • reinstall extensions
  • reconfigure settings
  • restore filters
  • restore signatures
  • adjust preferences again
  • rebuild our personalized setup

For long-time Thunderbird users, this takes a lot of time and effort.

Firefox already gives us such a beautiful and worry-free experience:

  • Install Firefox
  • Login with Mozilla Account
  • Everything comes back automatically

And honestly… that experience feels magical.

As Thunderbird users, we dream of the same simplicity:

  • Install Thunderbird
  • Login with Mozilla Account
  • Extensions auto-install
  • Settings sync automatically
  • Filters & signatures restore instantly
  • Everything feels exactly like our old computer

No stress. No manual setup. No fear of migration.

This is not just a “feature request.” For many loyal Mozilla users, this would be one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements Thunderbird could ever receive.

The Thunderbird team has already discussed this idea publicly for years, which gives users hope that someday it may finally happen.

Please make Thunderbird truly cloud-connected and worry-free for the next generation of users.

Many of us are not just users of Mozilla products — we are emotionally connected to them. ❤
