Email not read flag is resetting when compressing inbox and other folders

When I let thunderbird compress the inbox and other folders, the not read flags on all new emails get reset as if I have read all of the new emails. Compressing the inbox and other folders should have no effect on the flags showing a message has not yet been read. That only makes sense. The not read flags getting reset started happening several versions before 145.

I'm simply trying to email someone using the email link on their site.

The link is a mailto link which requires an email application (which I don't have). All I want is to copy the link to the clipboard.

Firefox lets me right click the link and copy the email address, but this doesn't allow me to provide the required Subject specified by the site's author.

I could have sworn Firefox used to have this feature. Netscape and IE certainly always had it back in the day.

Yahoo Mail settings. When I use Yahoo Mail with Thunderbird for Android, the folder structure is displayed in English. I want everything to be shown in German. Everything works correctly with Gmail; this is only a problem with Yahoo Mail. I've set everything to German in my Yahoo account, but it's still displayed in English in the app.

What can I do?

After the latest auto update all of my history, tabs/windows, and bookmarks were deleted and I can't recover them. I have tried importing bookmarks and it does not allow me to upload an old data file and I can't restore my previous session. I tried checking both profiles but neither had my information saved and now when I open the about:profiles says "Another copy of Firefox has made changes to profiles. You must restart Firefox before making more changes."

I'm scared to try anything else because I don't want to mess anything up further but I really need my tabs and history back.

I restarted my computer and then reopened firefox and it had updated and I noticed my bookmarks were gone but my windows/tabs were open, so I tried to choose a file on the bookmark backup and nothing was happening so I restarted and after that all my history and tabs were gone and I couldn't restore them.

I have my FF preferences setting as "Strict". But somehow Facebook people were able to hack into my FF account, and obtain my password for FB and other passwords? This comes directly from my Firefox preference page Red Warming Box includes & states on Sept 30, 2025 Facebook Hacked & Gained access to my account. Not a person, it states Facebook did it. And to change my FB password ASAP. So I go to my FB account go through their lame motions and they say they will not allow me to do so because I haven't used my account very long and they don't know if it is me trying to change my password. My question is what do I do now and how to prevent any social media outlet of simply hacking into my Mozilla account or my Firefox accounts? Please help. Seems like their should be a law against this type of intrusion gathering save password and etc.

I cannot set up my icloud email in Thunderbird.

Error implies that the password is incorrect but i know it's correct, i am able to sign in to webmail using it just to prove a point.

"Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password"

I have verified server info on apple support and verified username and password is what i use on all other devices. Username and password also works on MS outlook.

When I play YouTube videos in Firefox, the video stutters and drops frames, even at 480p. Audio keeps playing normally. This does not happen in Chrome on the same computer. The issue started about a week ago. I’m using Firefox on Windows 11 on a laptop. Restarting Firefox did not fix it.

I recently went back from Thunderbird daily to the release channel when I set up my new PC.

1. On opening an email - The Subject display in Daily Version is Bold and according to the font as set in Thunderbird Settings. Just Perfect. It is not the same in the Release Channel. Looks not so nice.

2. In Release Channel -- under settings If I choose to display the "Name Only" under Message List for address display format. It ignores

3. Release channel is ver 146.0.1 .. If I go back to Thunderbird daily .. will I be able to use the same profile used for the Release channel?

With my thanks in advance

Hi, I need help with an issue related to how my website https://forganica.com/ loads in Firefox. The site works fine on Chrome and mobile browsers, but in Firefox some elements are not rendering correctly and the layout shifts on scroll. Is there a recommended way to debug layout or CSS rendering issues specifically in Firefox? And is there any Firefox-specific setting or developer tool I should check to understand why my site behaves differently?

Recently, Firefox updated and ask me to setup a profile, which I have not yet done since importing my data from google chrome in 2025. After skipping the setup, Firefox then deleted all my data and it has since been irecoverable. I have already checked the box last update that specifically said to not ask me again for setting up my profile. After the recent update, the question popped up again and now I cannot recover my original profile, all my browsing history, all my browser-saved data, and all my cookies and logins
