I was using firefox sync across multiple devices, but at some point in the past few months, i got locked out on one device due to too many wrong tries (i THINK. something went wrong anyway), and now, i am logged on on only 1 computer, and none of my passwords (even the one currently saved in my password manager, 1password) work when trying to log into other devices. using the QR scan from firefox/pair page on my ph doesn't work either. so, now i'm afraid of getting logged out from my main computer and then losing access to years worth of bookmarks & folders & plug-ins etc. unfortunately, when i went to try & add a back up email for my account, it was too late...it kept asking me to log in to do so, and my password isn't recognized anymore (or i maybe inadvertently changed w/ a typo inserted?). i was thinking about just trying to download all my bookmarks, deleting my current account, and creating a new one...but then i need the log in to delete the account. i want to keep the same email for the user name, since it's my main email.

i am at a loss as to how i can get around this impasse.

After the update to Thunderbird 115.2.3, Thunderbird downloaded and deleted messages I had left on the server. I use Earthlink as my email server. I should have realized what happened when I suddenly had over 2500 sets of duplicate emails.

It appears that my Thunderbird is now set up for POP, although it had been IMAP for years. This is the second (or third) time his has happened in the last 6 months.

Three questions: 1) Can I change back to IMAP from POP without losing more 2) Is there a way to restore any of these emails to the server? 3) How can I prevent this in the future; once I update and restart, it is too late to prevent something like this as the damage is done.

Thank you.

Hello

Since the latest update, I find that deleting an email or moving an email to another folder can cause the screen to scroll down about 40 emails.

This is random - about 50% of the time.

Would anyone else be experiencing this or have any ideas for solving? It's not the end of the world but it is irritating!

Thanks! Elaine

OS = Windows 7 Pro. Web-browser = Firefox. Both worked very well for many years on desktop PC and laptop. Recently desktop PC repeatedly reported "Windows Explorer has stopped" whenever Firefox was started. Today I updated Firefox on my laptop after several weeks of non-use. "Windows Explorer has stopped" appeared immediately Firefox started - error never seen before on the laptop. Could the most recent update to Firefox be the cause of this fault?

Having used Thunderbird for some time, I installed it on a new PC, and found that virtually all my emails on a particular account seem to have been deleted, despite the app being set up to retain them. I checked on the webmail (BT) and they have gone. The account is set up as IMAP - as is another account on the same server, which seems OK. BT won't engage with me on this as they "don't support third party apps" I assume that 3 years worth of important client history is gone for ever? Can anyone suggest what I did wrong, or is this a software failure?

Through several iterations of upgrades to TB 64-bit on Windows Pro 64-bit, after setting up Microsoft and Gmail client accounts successfully, when I have proceeded to add my only iCloud account (@iCloud.com / @me.com) I have found that none of the existing iCloud.com email folders are presented in TB. Recently, without any TB upgrade, the number of email folders presented has spontaneously reduced further. Logging in to iCloud.com email online reveals both the original folders and the extra ones I have had to create via TB to be able to save messages, so communication from TB back to iCloud.com is clearly working, but the full list of folders in my iCloud account is not being reflected back to TB. Can anyone help me with this? I didn't have any problem in this way using MS Outlook as an email client; only in TB. Furthermore, this problem has not occurred with any of my other MS or Gmail domain email accounts. I wonder if this is a protocol or port discrepancy of some kind? If so, it's really not apparent. TIA, SamSun

Hi, Ive got FF version 115.2.1esr 64bit- Macbook Pro High Sierra.. I was watching amazon shows and movies until last night, started to get the message from Amazon, "Video Unavailable- We're experiencing a problem playing this video, for assistance, etc..." I pulled up Chrome and the movies are playing just fine there. I put FF in 'safe mode' and the video is playing, so what does this tell me? If I can play the movie in safe mode why not in regular mode? Keep in mind that I was watching other movies earlier in the day and nothing changed during the day, I didnt download anything new, just business as usual. So what do I do now if the vid plays in safe mode and not the regular mode?

Thanks very much for any help.
