I have my settings to confirm deletion in message view, but not from notifications. I've had to re-set them several times over the past month or so because it keeps changing back to confirm deletion from notifications. I think it's happening when I need to restart my phone, but it does it at random too. How do I fix that?

Hi,

I really love thunderbird and want to move away from Outlook.

I am experiencing a delay in Push emails compared to my Outlook app. I am committed to get emails as soon as they are received by the server. For example I've observed recent emails 10min later in Thunderburd than Outlook to my Inbox.

I have my Inbox set to "Enable Push". Is there anything I can do to improve the speed of delivery vs Outlook? Both apps have same settings for Background data, and 'Allow background app usage'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Turning off the "Automatically delete browsing history" feature often doesn't allow you to delete "Recently visited tabs." It seems that tab history generated from manually closed bookmarks can't be deleted through this feature either。Hope it can be fixed

Passkeys are broken on pixel 10 pro xl android 16 March update?

I asked AI and this is what it gave me.

Failed Handshake: Recent reports regarding Firefox Mobile version 148.0.1 suggest a regression where the browser fails to trigger the system-level pop-up for passkeys. Instead of showing you the "Use fingerprint/PIN" prompt, it either hangs indefinitely or defaults to a "Passkey required" screen that you cannot bypass. ​System Conflict: There are indications that the March 2026 Android security update may have changed how third-party browsers request "Nearby Bluetooth" permissions for passkeys, which Firefox has not yet fully adapted to.

I'm using a Pixel 10 Pro XL updated to the latest March software update and made sure Firefox mobile was up to date on the Play Store.

I like very much Thunderbird very much, but I had to move recently to use an Android device, that is my main computer now. I normally work with four email accounts, and I sometimes need to move emails across different accounts. I found out that it is not working on the mobile app. Are there any plans to include this functionality in Thunderbird? Thank you very much.

Every Time the Search Engine is Switched After a Query Has Already Been Searched, a New Tab Opens

Hello! I appreciate many niceties of the 148 update, but i'm having an issue resulting in many more tabs on Android mobile than I usually generate. When I search something and then want to sesrch the same query again using a different search engine (by selecting a different search engine from the tab bar menu) a new tab opens, leaving the query via the previous search engine open, and the current query of the current search engine in a new tab with focus. I'm aware that this behavior can be modified on desktop, but there is no such setting for android.

I would really love for this behavior to be reverted or optional, as it's made it so I need to clear out many tabs of duplicate queries (on different sesrch engines) and it makes me avoid using the built-in search engine switcher to prevent generating more tabs :( (which sucks because I have like 10+ custom searches and they're very useful!)

The primary issue I keep running into is that when I consume media within the browser, say browsing reddit or watching movies, the cache seems to fill up quickly to around about 500mb, and the crap hits the fan. Webpages don't load, error messages show up, tabs stop responding and become unusable, videos become irretrievable or buffer continuously, it sucks. I have it set to clear my cache when I quit from the menu but that doesn't work. So every time the app starts having an aneurysm I go into settings, force quit, and clear the cache. Firefox is the only browser I use, but because of this I'm no longer committed to it, I will happily trade it for something better when it comes along. I expect nothing to change.

When you leave the app, the page often reloads. This does not occur in Chromium-based browsers (such as Chrome or Brave). And compared to Chromium-based browsers, it's slower and uses more memory, making it difficult to use.
