When I search "translate" into the address bar the first option is www.translate.com instead of just searching it on google (which is what I normally do). This happened after I searched the term and a little pop-up asked if I meant to go to the website instead. I accidentally clicked yes and do not know how to change it back. I would like to be able to type "translate" and have the google results show up first. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

the newest update to version 97.0 was run automatically. Afterwards the new print preview appears although I have it disabeled in about:config (print.tab_modal.enabled --> false). I cannot get rid of it. It is very annoying as I cannot print my labels with that menu and always have to click once more to do so. Does anyone has a fix for this?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Good afternoon -

When I try to send a desktop shortcut or anything else to my Thunderbird Client I see this error message. Tried about 5 fixes on YouTube, none of them worked. How can I get this simple functionality back?

Thunderbird is my default Mail Client. Microsoft Office 2021 is resident, but Outlook is uninstalled.

I'm surprised that this has not been addressed before.

Many thanks for your prompt assistance in helping me resolve this! Keep up the good work.

When I put the pointer arrow on a tab to open it the tab background turns black and the type is white. It used to be the opposite and I want to change it back to white background black type. How do I do that? I do not like this change at all. This happened right after your new Firefox update also.

I have 2 questions after the upgrade ( If that is what they call it). #1. Getting all my apps re-setup , I noticed that some were not showing up on the bar to the right of my search bar. #2. When I open FF it only opens with a half page on the left. This next jusy a polite general question. After the uproar about fvd suspension, why did FF feel the need to do it again? What I mean is why did they wipe out All my apps and deleted other programs I had BOUGHT and now having trouble getting downloaded again when they were working perfectly before 100? Are these programs also considered "Dangerous". Sorry. Could you give me an approved FF alternative to FVD and I don't mean this piece of garbage that is on your web page. You wanna throw something against the screen every time you look at it.; UGLY!!!!

TB v91.7.0

I download an extension from the Mozilla download site; I have tried 3 different ones so far. I select "Install Addon from file...". The result is ALWAYS "This addon cannot be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

What am I missing?

Sending of password for user johndoe@gmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted.

This error suddenly started. The answer at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1309075 *** might be the solution but the Options panel seems to have gone and the online instructions in Thunderbird Help also lead to an outdated layout. More updated instructions would be appreciated and especially if written for a very old senile fool. I see that I set the password for my mail over a decade ago and I didn't know what I was doing then 8-) I can still read my email via Chrome.

• • • If you viewed the password in Saved Passwords, it indicates you're using 'normal password' authentication instead of the preferred OAuth2. First, check that cookies are enabled in TB Options/Privacy or Privacy & Security (TB 78), set the authentication to OAuth2 in Server Settings for the incoming and also in Outgoing Server (SMTP), then delete the passwords in Saved Passwords, restart TB, enter the current working account password in the OAuth browser window when prompted.

hi, I am still getting my Gmail through IMAP, but I have been used to downloading them via POP3 the recent years. Is this no longer possible? I am geeting password errors since this week.

Why do I want to use POP3? It is downloading all emails since my last session into a dedicated folder on my server, so that I can store them locally. With IMAP I have to browse through the emails manually and copy them over to my local folder. This is tiresome because I have to check, which emails are missing on my local copy since my last download.

Thanks a lot.

As so many others here.... *shake fist at Google* ...

I did the switch to OAUTH2 for both POP and SMTP. I deleted the passwords, dumped the cookie cache, accept cookies from sites (always on 3rd party; keep until I close thunderbird), added an exception for https://accounts.google.com , then closed and started a fresh session of Thunderbird (currently on version 91.9.1 - the latest in my Ubuntu repos).

When I start Thunderbird, it asks for the user/password and then it downloads new messages. Great.

Except every few minutes, it asks me to re-authenticate for /every/ gmail account. Grrr....

Per the below comment, it seems that Thunderbird is supposed to save the password... but it doesn't. I still have passwords for all the non-google accounts, but I dumped all the gmail passwords per the many many instructions I've found. There's also nothing from google in the cookies (however, I've gone to other sites like the Thunderbird addons and those cookies do show up in the list). https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1375538#answer-1501083

I found someone saying that web servers might be a problem, I have no webservers installed on this system and nothing is listening to ports 80 or 443.

How do I get gmail to stop pestering me every few minutes for my user/pass and force Thunderbird to save the OAUTH2 token?

Thanks!

I use Mail Merge frequently. I would like to be able to use and if then else statement in the TO field to select the recipient based on a conditional. I have done this in the past, and had found a reference for doing it but I can no longer find that reference. So if anyone can point me to a site that describes how to to use conditionals in Thunderbird I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

More a suggestion than a question.

I had problem to change my "sound", but finally installed a .wma sound and it works fine.

Now a suggestion: change the menu to change the sound with only a .wav sound, instead of the current BIG list. For the fun, I found the http:\\www.soundrangers.com who produced sound of the background themes installed from Windows. It's still open.

Currently using 101.0 (64 bit) on Windows 10.

It's quite annoying to try to type a capital F using Shift F but end up with developer mode.

I tried in privacy mode and this still occcurs, so I think it's not something my add-ons do.

Is there any way to disable this feature?

In Settings/Applications, have "JNLP file" set to "Use Java(TM) Web Launcher (default)". This is used in Oracle's Agile to view documents. In previous versions of Firefox when selected, the file would open using Java to display the document from Agile. As of Firefox 97, now only "Save File" or "Cancel" options are offered. What happened that this functionality has been removed?

I use TB 13, believe it or not. Why? B/c I despise change -- it's streamlined, efficient, perfect. Now the pure evil known as Gmail is blocking me from downloading my messages. I hear I need to upgrade to at least TB 68 to use OAuth and surmount this problem. When I got my new comp I tried to get the new TB but it seemed so unorganized/complicated and as if it didn't function like TB13 -- the absolutely crucial and most important key function being: No need to be online to do anything. I can write a new message, save it, send it later. I can download messages when I feel like it. Read them offline. Reply to them offline. Connect when I want to and send the messages. Is this still possible with TB 68+? Create folders, again offline. I do not want to depend on being online for absolutely anything, except to send and receive messages. Can someone tell me if this is still possible using new versions of TB?

Hello. I just closed by accident my main window so I restored it, but it apparently lost all the container data and restored all non-pinned tabs to the default container.

Is it normal, is it a bug or is it a yet-to-be feature?

It feels like a bug because pinned tabs (which were not present/open in the secondary window that stayed open when I accidentally closed the main one) where duly opened in their respective containers.

I remember sites with related terms not always being grouped up not too long ago. The change isn't bad but would like to know how to disable it. The main issue being ever since this change was implemented, it breaks some functionality. It keeps you from being able to look through the rest of your history until you delete the group. Either it prevents you from continuing to scroll down. Or when you do keep scrolling, it keeps looping the sites already shown.

Does TB add the ‘junk’ and ‘nonjunk’ keywords to email on IMAP servers (which support keywords) when determining email as junk (or not) and moving it to the spam folder (or not) whatever that happens to be named?

Hi

Just moving from Eudora to TBird because of recent Google login requirement change so I am an old stubborn Eudora user (obviously ;-) ).

Anyway - I would like to have the new message 'write' button open a new tab, not a new window. I did figure out how to open new incoming messages in a Tab so at least I got that right.

Is there any way to change the setting for opening a new outgoing message window/tab?

Thanks for your help. Hope this is not too annoying of a question
