macOS. Firefox is running. I enter: open -a Firefox --args -private-window "https://apple.com" (in Terminal or Automator) which I believe should open apple.com in a new private window, but although the focus change to the already open Firefox window, a new private window does not open. It does work (apple.com opens in a new private window) if Firefox is not already running, but I thought the -private-window argument is supposed to open a new private window whether Firefox is already running or not. What have I got wrong?

I've been using Outlook 2010 for a long time. One feature it has that has been extremely useful is being able to open and close individual pst files. This allows me, for example, to have an archive on NAS of old emails. I only open the archive if I'm looking for something specific (File --> Open --> Open Outlook Data File), and then close the archive. The archive is large, and opening it every time Outlook starts is a waste of time.

I don't initially see how, in Thunderbird 91.8.1, to do something similar.

Any help would be appreciated.

As you can see in the title, Firefox crashes immediately opening, though sometimes it works for a few seconds. I have figured out that it works when I create a windows profile without any association to my Microsoft account, it does actually work, but as soon as I add the Microsoft account to the profile, it crashes. This also happens with Opera GX, but not Chrome.

I can no longer choose where downloads go. I have tried "always ask" but I am getting no where. One post said open the three bars on the right an look for option. NO luck.

Thank you.

Thunderbird Ver 91.8.1. on Win 10. How to delete an email account please? The "Account Actions" box does not seem to exist in this version; I wondered how to delete an email account? I've tried everything I can think of. Thanks a lot HR

I am using TB under Ubuntu 22.04 ONLY because Gnome Evolution is requiring OAuth2 for IMAPX accounts that don't provide such authorization. TB and Outlook 365 (under Win 10) don't have that problem.

TB has a major, major problem in that it will not keep constant font, font-size, and line-spacing when I write or reply to emails. Why can't TB hold an exact font size (e.g., Arial 11). and line spacing (single) when I compose or reply to emails. I have seven (7) email accounts and I should not have to worry about having to set properties for each.

I use Google Workspace as my e-mail provider, and Thunderbird (PoP3 -- there is a good reason why I use PoP and not IMAP) as my e-mail client. This has worked very well for a long time. Yesterday (4/12/22) updated TB from 91.7.0 to 91.8.0. Previously, I would enter my Google Workspace password (only, once per session) to download mail, and my gmail password (only, once per session) to send mail (using Google's SMTP server). After the update, I was asked for both username and password to log into the Google Workspace account, and every time I sent an e-mail I had to provide both username and password for the gmail account. Fortunately, I had set a restore point before the TB update and was able to restore my system to its normal operation. Can you please help me with what is going on, and how to get back to normal operation under the new update? Thank you!

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19044 build 19044 (21H2)

This is a THUNDERBIRD Problem. When the same message is sent from the same from/to accounts using Outlook 365, Version 2203 (Build 15028.20228 Click-to-Run) the problem does not occur.

Wish to add extra email address - Errors - Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong config, username or password. Click on IMAP Did not work Click on POP3 Did not work

Double checked - Name, email address and password by coping them and then pasting them in the boxes. I have one email working from the same supplier. incoming Host outlook.office365.com POP3 Port 995 outgoing Host smtp.office365.com Port 587 IMAP Port 993

I appreciate that Thunderbird has client-side adaptive Junk filtering. I believe the target audience for this is primarily those who don't filter their own mail. Unfortunately for those of us who do filter our mail, this feature takes priority over other filtering.

Specifically, I'm using Sieve (IMAP/Dovecot) on the server to control filtering, but as soon as mail hits the Thunderbird client it's re-processed. I don't mind if my filters ultimately don't filter some mail item, where it ends-up in the Inbox. Then Thunderbird adaptive filtering may help "adaptively" to flag something that gets through.

Can we do something in Thunderbird to only allow adaptive processing on the top-level Inbox?

As an admin I have just created scripts that will forward mail to me when another user manually moves mail to Junk. This email is dropped into a specific folder under my Inbox so that I can process it with new rules, bans, or even to let the user know that they should simply unsubscribe from that specific list. But most of it is indeed Junk. I don't need adaptive processing to identify it as such, and I don't want my email account profile to adapt to someone else's Junk.

I can set a header for Thunderbird if it would only use that as a "do not use adaptive filtering on this item".

Is there a developer API into this process? Anything else to hook into it to get more control over it?

OR, do I and every other user that uses this server need to turn off Thunderbird adaptive filtering? :(

Thanks.

I am trying to use a new HP Spectre laptop which will be my all purpose home computer. I selected Firefox Browser as the default browser but I don't believe it has ever come up as my browser. It is loaded among many other apps (?). I used to call them programs (?). I get Edge, Chrome, Bing, and others, none of which I want or ask for. They just seem to appear randomly.

Which Mozilla version is the latest which includes ((update options )) I still use windows 7 32 bit My system is not compatible for 10 The new version makes trouble with window 7, so I uninstalled It goes crashing when opens I read many topics using old version does not solve the problem For me it solves When I install new version ( 90 or newer ) it shows black screen when opens But with old versions, it does not show --- Now I tried 75 it contains option but the update still runs though I have chosen Check for updates but let you choose to install them

Thunderbird usually performs very well for me. Although sometimes a new email is received showing a weird timestamp that is obviously incorrect. As an example, right now the time of day at my location is 1:18 EST. So far, my received emails today have times ranging from 5:03 am to 1:16 pm. Except for one. It shows today's date but 5:31 pm. A time in the future. If I look at that same email on my iPhone, it displays a more acceptable time of 9:19 am.

This started occurring about 2 months ago and happens about once a week. All from spam. So this is no big deal but I'm curious why. Does anyone have an explanation? Thanks, Reeka

Hi, Please bear with me, I understand very little! In 2012 the business I work for was taken over by a new boss. The previous one set me up with a new email address which he set to be used with my gmail account.

My new boss wants to move clients but my email account is not included in the addresses she wants to move. Her email addresses are showing up on Eclipse. My email address/account isn't there. The previous boss was using Thunderbird. Is my email account there? Or does it need added to Eclipse?

I have no idea how to access or log in to Thunderbird to see if my address is there?

How do I find out who is hosting my email account?

I have no idea if I have explained this properly. I access my work email through my personal gmail (POP, IMAP???) but have no idea where it really "lives"!
