Thunderbird won't allow me to send messages after I upgraded from 31.8 to 78.14.0. The Send button is not enabled, though I do have an internet connection and have been able to receive messages. I'm pretty sure I gave the upgrade the correct email password (the same one I gave it yesterday when I installed 31.8, and which worked). Is there a way to troubleshoot or fix the problem?

New E-Mail Format, How does one go back to the old format with one tab (the latest email) with no other tabs?

Hi Everyone: This is the first time I've ever gone to a "community" to ask for help. Please bear with me. I'm pretty simple minded and I am not a computer person. I was very happy with the old format. I would start an email, with another person or persons, and if the general topic was the same (such as a project I was working on with 1-2 people) I would use the "reply" or "reply all" to continue this string of e-mails. The recent changes now bring up different "tabs" at the top of the screen. This is very confusing and shows a series of emails that are generally not relevant to what needs to be addressed. It also does not always show who the current email is actually coming from. My question is: How can I go back to the old format. I found it simpler, easy to use, and more succinct.

Old closed tab randomly reloads - multiple devices

Many, many months ago I did mundane search and opened a webpage in a new tab, as per normal. Nothing particularly stood out about this search and when I was done, I closed the tab. I didn't do anything different. I didn't save a bookmark or change any settings. I just looked at the webpage and then closed it when I was done. (It was a web article on some random tech site, if that matters)

Anyway, now whenever I open up my Firefox browser there seems to be a random chance that this previously closed tab will open on loading. And when I say random chance, I'd say about 1 in 5 chance. It doesn't always happen.

Just to be clear: I do have the browser set to restore my previous sessions. This is a setting I want to have on. However, this tab was not part of my previous session as I specifically closed it - and continue to close it every time it opens itself. Also, my Homepage is set to default and nothing else.

Not only that, but there are two very peculiar details about this case that make it very, very strange: 1. When I originally opened (and closed) this tab, I was using normal Firefox. I have since switched to Firefox Nightly. All of my other tabs that I like to keep open had to be searched and loaded up manually, one by one, after I did the switch. This one tab, however, is just showing up on its own. 2. Opening Firefox on a separate devices (second desktop PC, laptop, android phone) will occasionally load up this tab.

I do have my browsers set to sync, which is what I'm assuming is why it's following me around. But I don't understand why nor how to stop this specific page from loading after I keep closing it time and time again. Plus, why aren't any of my old tabs from my old Firefox browser following this same behavior after moving to Nightly? - I've closed hundreds, if not thousands of tabs. Why is this one following me around?

[SOLVED] tb115 I widened the message list too far right edge. Lost the right pane. How to restore?

I was exploring this new 115 of Thunderbird and ended up wiping the message viewer off the screen.

To start with, I have my TBird 115 as it came "out of the box." Three columns, Inbox folder tree on the left, Cards List in the center, and message pane in the right side.

I messed everything up when I widened the Cards list to the right edge of the window, where the <---> arrowhead disappeared and all there is to the right side is the window resize arrow from my Linux system and that awful slim Jim scroll bar.

I recovered my message pane using F8 key; it is below my short list of email in the Cards View. See the attached screenshot.

I would like to return things back to as they were with the three columns as described above. I forgot, too, where I turned on Classic View. There is a checked box in Settings somewhere. Or is it a menu? I need some help, please.

May I suggest a limit somewhere short of the right-side edge of the window and short of the scroll bar to only widen the message pane "so far," such that one can recover from pushing it that far, using the same means to return it with the double arrow.

Can't load Firefox account web page (accounts.firefox.com) to log in; it always quickly crashes the tab

I have installed the antiX-23 (latest version) Linux operating system on my Acer Travelmate 4050 laptop (it came out in 2003, so very old). It comes with Firefox ESR version 102.14.0esr (32-bit). Despite the laptop having only an Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz processor and the maximum 2GB of RAM and a swap file of 1GB, everything—including the browser—works very well except that when I go to the Firefox account log-in web page, accounts.firefox.com, the page quickly crashes at the very beginning of starting to load. Funny thing is that when I ran the operating system live from the USB installation stick and ran the browser, the Firefox account log-in page worked fine. Is there an alternative Firefox page or other way to log in so that I can sync the browser with my other devices?

HI, I have switched from Windows to Linux but I do not know how to migrate Thunderbird. I have done it before from Windows to Windows. I saved my Thunderbird folder expecting to paste it into my new OS but I cannot figure out where to paste it. Clicking on "open directory" in "troubleshooting information" does nothing. I installed Thunderbird on the new OS. I pasted the folder in the home directory and renamed it .thunderbird, but the app still does not find my data. I am using elementary OS. I am new to Linux. Step by Step instructions help a lot. Thank you for your help!

Scrolling in Firefox is causing any webpage to scroll many lines at once with a single click, and it seems to be exclusively happening to Firefox, as every other application scrolls normally. I have tried searching here and elsewhere for a solution, and I have tried to change about:config settings based on the recommendations I could find to no avail. I have also tried to refresh Firefox and have used Troubleshoot Mode, but those too have not worked. I have no clue as to what could have caused this, as I have not been messing with any settings prior to this.
