I have two end users that are having a different issues but they are of similar nature. First user can not upload anything to Microsoft Share point. She gets a message that says she does not have proper permissions to upload. She does not have the same issue on Chrome or Edge. The second user is trying to download and or save a file from a couple of different websites but regardless on where she tries to save it on her computer it says she does not have proper permissions to save to "x" file location. She also does not have this issue when she is on Chrome or Edge.

For both users I have tried clearing cache and cookies, Rebooting their computers, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, deleting registry keys/user data from the computer itself. I have had no luck with resolving this issue and I can not find anything online that remotely resembles this issue.

Thank you and please advise

Each time I try to send an email it tells me to select a certificate for Authentication. Each time I do this if I select any of the options and hit okay it does not work. But if I just hit cancel it sends the message I'm not sure how to get this error message to stop popping up or just go away all together or what the issue is in the first place.

My primary email is with Comcast (aka Xfinity)

A short while ago, even though I was successfully receiving emails, I am unable to send emails from that account. I've verified my SMTP settings, and nothing has changed in any of my account configurations. The only way I am able to send or respond to emails is by using Comcast's webmail interface.

I've been happy with Thunderbird for many, many years, but am very frustrated. I'd appreciate any assistance.

I am receiving the following message: The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving message. Mail server.comcast.net responded: Message 9 expunged.

The message number does change each time I try to download my messages. Thanks for any help. Rob

Last months problem with Firefox, one process goes to 11-20% cpu usage+-, firefox does not load sites, freezes, after some time works again. Tried every solution and nothing. I have to wait or restart Firefox. I have similar problem on Android and notebook from work. You are unable to fix your browser but you complain that that MS, Google and Apple block independent browsers. Maybe the way to fix is reinstall Windows. GO TO HELL!!!

Was just updated to version 115.5.1, and I had held off posting this question until after the update, hoping the issue might be resolved... but it's as bad as ever.

Tbird abruptly became very slow to delete/display messages; not with the last update, but a couple of updates previously. I have been in the habit of working my way up the list from the oldest to the newest, and as I hit "delete" and "up arrow" to view the next email, it's a slow, laggy process. Both emails remain highlighted for a second or two, the old email continues to display, then the deleted email drops out, and shortly the new one displays, the whole process taking a bit over two seconds... to move from one email to the next, a process that used to be nearly instantaneous. No idea exactly when that changed, but it seems to be a process that's getting worse with time.

Any ideas on what I might be able to do to get my original level of performance back? For what it's worth, this is a new machine, insanely fast compared to my older one, and Tbird is the only app where I'm encountering this kind of slowness issue. Everything else is astonishingly faster by comparison... but Tbird remains laggy and slow and I've no idea where to start looking for reasons for this. Don't even know what kind of information to post here that might be useful in diagnosing the issue - - tell me what's needed and I'll do my best to get it. Thanks in advance! I *really* don't want to change email clients after all this time!

When I open firefox it opens on the "success" page it should open on my selected page Yahoo.com

this happened after I ran the "refresh firefox" option

Always when want to use the Website "Weather.com" my tab brakes down with the announcment" Der Tab ist gerade abgestürzt" which means: the tab just crashed. I do not know why this happens. Does anybody has a suggestion what I can do? I use a MacBook pro from 2015 with OS 12.7.1 and Firefox 120.0.1 Thanks so far Tobias

Hi,

I experienced at least two times recently that the browser on windows 10 looses all the opened tabs and pinned tabs too. Last time it did also that when I closed the program and it opened itself again immediately without tabs and closed itself down again. Next time I opened the program there was no opened tabs at all again. I have the latest version for windows 10.

What do you suggest me to do?

Thanks for help! Br, Balint

I think I have been scammmed I was sent an e-mail that appeared to be from cogeco.ca my provider stating that I needed to update otherwise I would no longer be able to get into my email account. I updated and now cannot get into my email I can get into everything else using firefox but not email, please help me. Thanks

Not sure the best way to describe the issue, but it seems like Firefox is not able to or doesn't clear memory when streaming Hulu for a while. It just slowly accumulates memory usage and eventually just hits a point where the tab crashes and doesn't continue until you close and reopen the site.

Is there a way to mitigate this or is it a known issue where it can't clear memory?

I have 32GBs of ram (about half occupied system wide), but Firefox appears to cap out globally between 7 and 8GBs, then Hulu freezes, forcing me to close the tab and go back to its home page.

After many years of use, the delete button has stopped working. Moving any email into the deleted folder of local folders works, but I would prefer to have the delete button back.

For the past week or so, Firefox has been resetting the tab I am using. The whole tab will suddenly go blank except for blank placeholders for buttons, frames, etc., after which a few seconds later the tab reloads. If I was watching a video, that video is still there but has been reset to the start. There does not seem to be any particular trigger (I read another thread from about a year ago in which another user described the same problem.) I have never seen this kind of random reset/reload behavior in Firefox. Let me know if there is a way to collect more information if possible. Thanks for your time.

Thunderbird opens and is permanently trying to re-open a previous tab, with the oscillating dots. It will not respond while trying to do this. How can I close this tab?

Stuck with this hourglass logo on tabs since the latest update v121.0

Now what I have noted is that this is causing the pages to load slow. Only ublock extension is installed, tried all dns settings but the result is the same. Is anyone facing the same?

These pages say to change the value and this hourglass thing will be removed

But I cannot see any option to change the value on that location

What to do now?

During move of my 2022 mails, the system crashed, and the mails disappeared. I have an older back-up, but how do I get the 2022 mails back without disturbing the later mails
