The 23.2 GB I had in my old profile did update to the new profile on a new Windows 11 computer. I copied and pasted from Profile to Roaming. The copy and paste worked as described, but when I open Thunderbird it doesn't go to the update profile. I'm attaching a screen copy of my new Thunderbird app data. All the 4/24/2022 files were updated today, some marked "default" and some marked " default release. The file which has my big profile data from the old computer is: "euvmgbhx.default-release" 23.2 GB. I'm not a technical person, but have spent years restoring my Thunderbird profile data using the old procedures. Can anyone help?

G'day,

The attached image is my task manager which shows as being resource hungry for Firefox.....Firefox(9) @ approx 500MB.

This was taken immediately after desktop was rebooted.... nothing else started up....no other users having previous access....ie immediately after reboot

Are the nine sessions normal?

Firefox response time is also slow.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

suddenly on Thursday afternoon (4/21/22), Thunderbird could no longer retrieve mail on one of my gmail accounts. I could still send, however. when I clicked 'get messages' I got a popup: One account. All of Google. Sign in with your Google Account but it won't let me sign in-- just keeps asking for my email or phone number but enter it and it asks the same question again. at the same time, I could get mail on my other 2 gmails but couldn't send from them. a few times when I tried to send mail, I got a message about my settings. I hadn't changed any settings, they are the same for all of my 3 gmail addresses. the other two emails that couldn't send, suddenly resolved on its own today and I can send emails on them again. I have full function with gmail (on browser, phone, laptop) just not with Thunderbird on my desktop. Was there an update on Thursday that did this to me? Have you been hearing from others with this problem? Did Google do something? thanks

I can't open a particular site i watch in private. I refreshed browser; I gave permissions off and then on or enhanced tracking off then on and neither nor changed anything. The website help desk that i tried opening verified password asked which browser and still it wouldn't open when putting correct information password and user name in. Any suggestions? I didn't do anything different and thought it was the website but i'm member and nothing's changed on their end.

How many tabs that is allowed to send to another device?

I'm trying to move my tabs from my laptop to my PC but it only send 105 tabs while I want to send all the 213 tabs. Even after sending the first 105 tabs, I'm unable to send anymore tabs.

Is there a way to send more than that?

Hi. I was running into issues with my bookmarks menu bar not showing up. I tried hiding it and re-showing it. Didn't work. I restarted my computer. Still the same. So I uninstalled Firefox. After re-installing it, I tried to log in to my Firefox account to sync everything, but the sign in button just turns into a spinning wheel and above my profile picture and email address, it says "working...". It is just stuck like that. I've tried quitting out and doing it again. Still the same. I restarted my computer as well. Still the same. How can I fix this?

A) I got a new printer, but Thunderbird, when asked to print an email, sends it to the old printer address, where there is no printer now, so it hangs in the queue. How do I reset the default target printer for thunderbird? [ the Thunderbird help response was obscure and unhelpful. Something about prefs, which I could not find] {My other programs send print to the new printer successfully, so the system knows the default printer}

For background, system: Windows 10 64 bit

B) The Thunderbird mentions junk folder somewhere, but my installation does not show me a junk folder icon to look for things that might have gone to a junk folder. {One organization's email to me always disappears. I cannot see any list of whom I might have identified as Junk, and no idea how to remove them from junk, nor indeed to verify that it is going to junk} [ my futile attempt to follow obscure instuctions and "drag the junk icon to the task bar" did not succeed, either because that is out of date, or I did not get right where and what was the desired -task bar-]

hellllllllllp  !

How do I completely turn off BLOGS & NEWS FEEDS (B&NFs). This function somehow became active in my TB; I made no known changes to cause this function to become active. I want the Inbox Screen to always look like #1 Screen Shot Image.

When I open a link to a web page in an email message, I get the message: "You already have a subscription for this feed". This may be preceded by the message "Verifying the Link", then get the "You already ..." message the next time time the link is clicked on. In both cases the link is prevented from opening and B&NFs has been inserted into the left hand panel on my Inbox Page . This is seen in #2 Screen Shot Image.

In the left hand panel on the Inbox screen I right click B&NFs>select Settings>and get #3 Screen Shot Image. Then select Account Actions>Remove Account>[and remove the account]. see #4 Screen Shot Image.

When I return to the Inbox, B&NFs is removed and the screen again looks like #1 Screen Shot. But if I click again on a link in an email, the denial sequence repeats. And even the link from the Mozilla Support suggestion “This does not solve my problem” generates the "You already have a subscription for this feed" message. So I cannot say problem is not solved and have to again enter my request for help on the TB request for help form.

Why does T-Bird want us to change our account permission(s), so as to allow T-Bird to access our Google email account(s)? This will allow T-Bird to read, compose, send and permanently delete all of our email from Gmail! By clicking Allow, we would allow the T-Bird app and Google to use their information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. Deny_______ Allow________ Why should we allow T-Bird to permanently delete all our email from Google’s server, and with what justification would T-Bird delete our email messages?

Hi, I check my storage for large folders and I came across folder inside Firefox profile called "cert-revocations" and its size is more than 400MB, can I delete it safely? What cons of deleting this folder? and why Firefox doesn't clean this folder periodically?

Thunderbird on Windows 10. New problem. Every time when sending an email from Hotmail a window appears asking for my Hotmail password. Enter password and email sends. Please where and how can I enter the password once to prevent this happening every time?

In Thunderbird 91.7.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 calendar event snoozing does not work properly.

When a notification appears with more than one event in it, snoozing a single event causes the entire notification box to disappear with all events. The non-chosen events are not snoozed, which is good, so the notification reappears in a few minutes. But it's an annoyance and it used to work properly.

Thunderbird sends email and CC: very well, just recently it will not send Bcc: of the same email.

I continue to receive this message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.mail.yahoo.com for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Every time I close Firefox, whether normally or using Allt-F4, there is a short pause (1 - 2 seconds) then around 20 - 30 seconds of intense disk activity which locks everything else on my PC (Win 10 pro 64). If I hard shut down the pc (ie, switch off the power) there is no adverse effect on firefox after restart, so whatever it's doing is apparently unnecessary anyway. How do I cure this, it's irritating me intensely - enough to seriously consider using another browser
