Hello,

i have a problem with Rightmove.co.uk webpages. On the webpage where you can see house plans, I zoom into the plan, and the plan just cannot be moved anymore and zoomed as well. I entered Firefox in troubleshooting mode without any extensions enabled and the same issue happened still. I tested the Brave and Chrome, no problems there. I tested Firefox latest version and also the ESR version, both had the same issue. One of the webpage links is below that just freezes, but the same issue happens with all sites when you want to see house plans. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/125021075#/floorplan?activePlan=1&channel=RES_BUY Please help me.

Thank you. itaavo

After the most recent update of Thunderbird (this morning), I keep getting a failed login message for my old ISP. It used to only do this once and I would X out of that message and it would only repeat when I restarted the program. Now it keeps trying to log on to my old ISP (using my old email address and log-on credentials) and flashes me a "failed login" message about every 5 minutes or so. I considered deleting that account in Thunderbird, but I am not a tech wizard and was afraid I would lose all of my old messages. Can anyone suggest a remedy?

I am new user to TB.

when I teach TB how to identify those messages as "Junk" and directly move to Local Folders\Junk Folders when incoming messages, it is good method. However those messages could not display their full images at Junk Folder. Then I told TB as "NOT Junk" and move back to Local Folders/Inbox, then those images could come back.

My ideas is to reduce no. of messages and focus to do the primary inbox messages at first priority, and then check secondary messages (ad/promotions/ less important/sales etc) in Junk folder, it is inconvenient if they could not display their full images.

My questions is how to display these messages with full images at Junk Folders, but they are still Junk status, do not need to move back to Inbox ??

photo 1 => ebay with full images at Local Folders\Inbox photo 2 => ebay without full images at Local Folders\Junk


many thanks

I was using an Outlook account on my T.Bird for quite some time. Suddenly to send email i had to re-enter the password every time I logged on. i got so sick of doing so, i removed the account (fatal mistake) and now cannot add it. the settings are correct -as confirmed by Microsoft tech help. The password is also correct. To make sure, I changed my Microsoft password, i can log in to webmail but still no go with T/Bird. An error message advises the either the user name or password are incorrect, which by virtue of them being accepted in web mail is not true. the Microsoft techie spent 30 minutes working on this with me. We tried both IMAP (my preferred protocol) and POP but got nowhere. Finally it was suggested I contact Thunderbird help. So....... HELP!!!! Please !!!

I had this problem before and ended up losing everything and had to put in all the emails I had in Thunderbird. I had lost my addressbooks, folders, etc.

It happened again. This time I might be able to explain it better. My computer crashed and restarted which it has done lately. So this time when I clicked my Thunderbird it says an upgrade may lose all by contacts, etc. I tried to get a screenshot or picture of the message but is it gone. It says I have Thunderbird 91.13.1. However I know I had downloaded 102 or whatever was the latest about 3 weeks ago when all this happened. I did back up (hope I did it right.) I did not backup this past week, but if I can at least preserve what I had I would be happy.

Please understand I am really not a geek or computer savvy, so potentially losing all this stuff is stressing me. Please help me understand what I should do and if I understand this.

1.) It appears my Thunderbird somehow reverted to the old version. Should I download the new version first?

2.) I looked at importing but it does not give me the option of going to where I have my backup. It just gives me the choice of Outlook, Becky and SeaMonkey, Mork .mab (for addresses). If I download 102 first will I be able to get to my backup file I made?

Thank you kindly for your answers. I am just afraid of having to start over again and having to sift through and sort emails like I did last time.

I have included photos of what I have now.

Lost accounts/can't import after an optional update

OS: Windows 11 - 21H2 Thunderbird version: Base 91.10.0 but auto updated to 92.x.x (something) Profile directory size > 7GB Screenshot: attached

I [stupidly] installed an optional update KB5017383 overnight and when clicked on Thunderbird in the morning I had 'lost' all my account. I know they're still there but can't get to them.

I tried to import from the Profiles directory on the affected machine which resulted in an error. I updated Thunderbird to the latest release (102.3.2) with the same result.

All my emails were imported from an older computer (Windows 10; Thunderbird 91.10.0 32 bit; last email - June 26, 2022) which I still have (and can access). It is NOT connected to the internet at this point. I copied the profiles directory from that machine to a USB drive. When I tried the Import - same issue. I uninstalled the KB5017383 update but I still get the same error.

I can't use the zip file option due to the size of accounts/messages. Since the older profile accounts/messages from the Windows 10 PC (and still works), I suspect there is something wrong with the Import function or conflict with a Windows 11 update or a McAfee update.

How do I rectify the import function? I've used the import capability without issue.

Suggestions?

I have a Win10, HP laptop, that is about 4.5 years old now, and its C: drive crashed hard yesterday. I replaced the drive with a SSD, and now I am rebuilding everything from backups. Fortunately, I have a NAS and I am quite anal about backups, so, I did not lose anything yet.

My question is how to reconstruct Thunderbird on the new SSD such that I lose as little as possible? I've never rebuilt Thunderbird. Please help?

A pointer to an article or help would suffice. Thanks in advance.

Can't connect with the just downloaded version 66.0.4 to virtually any site - not to Google, not to NYT, not even to Mozilla - Firefox won't accept ANY certificate! Following errors appear (examples): "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to addons.cdn.mozilla.net because this web site requires a secure connection. What can you do about it? addons.cdn.mozilla.net has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

Or: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.nytimes.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. What can you do about it? The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

The explanation is as follows: Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue. Web sites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust www.nytimes.com because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

No problems whatever with other browsers. I'm sending this with Safari.

It seems like on the newest release the domain name is removed from the username email address when trying to login to an existing email account.

The result is that sending the login information hangs forever and eventually says the server already exists.

What we now have to do to fix the situation when adding an existing mailbox (that we never had to do in the past) is let Thunderbird detect the server settings and then manually configure the USERNAME to include the domain name of the email address and then BAM... instant login like normal. :)

Not sure if this is a new FEATURE or a BUG... seems subjective depending on who has to manually setup hundreds existing email boxes all day. lol

I used this tablet for many years and got lots of bookmarks on my browser, but recently its antenna stopped working. I did some research and found out you can export the bookmarks from firefox even if you cant connect to the internet to use the sync functionality. I rooted the phone, copied the browser.db file from firefox and exported the bookmarks table with SQLite Browser. I read on some verry old (6-8 Years ago) threads on this forum that they imported the bookmarks.csv they got from the db in excel, then modified it in some sense and then exported it to a html file to import that in firefox. I did everything to where i have the whole table in excel, only need to know what i need to modify in it.

Hello, I use Firefox 105 on my PC. I have embedded various YouTube videos on my website. I've had the following problem for a few days: I can see my videos on both my smartphone and tablet without going to YouTube. On my PC (Win 10 Pro Vers. 21H2) the display wheel "rolls" without opening the video (... "an error has occurred, try again later"). But if I click on: "Watch on YouTube" plays the video via YouTube correctly. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Is there a wrong setting in the Firefox browser?

I tried to load the following page and it does not load correctly: https://www.riu.com/pt/hotel/aruba/palmbeach/hotel-riu-palace-aruba/index.jsp When I load the page almost nothing shows up (see attached). I have tried the specific address, and also what Google and DuckDuckGo search returned, same result time, although the search returned the English page version. Also, the page loads correctly in Edge, Opera and Chrome. It also works fine using Firefox for Android. Seems to be just on Windows.

Firefox 105.0.3 Windows 10 Dell G5 5587

This is the second time in a week I have filed a report about a page not working. Last time it was a very specific page on a specific site, this time it is a the top level of a fairly generic website. I've been a Firefox user almost since day 1, on windows, unix/linux, and android, and I have not had this much trouble before. And yes I understand this is a volunteer effort, so if there is anything I can do to help get this working let me know.

Hi, I have a problem with add new account.

1. I fill in all the fields correctly. 2. I hit the "done" (Gotowe) button. 3. The "password checking" (Sprawdzanie hasła...) message is displayed all the time. 4. Nothing happens. All the time waiting for the password to be checked.

In the thunderbird I have already added 2 other addresses from this domain premium-wood: kontakt@premium-wood and sklep@premium-wood. I did not encounter any problem while adding these two addresses. The password for the account is definitely correct. I can log in via a browser without any problems.

What could be the cause of this situation?

Sorry for my simple english ;)

Unable to change text color in current email within Thunderbird V102.3.2

I used to be able to do this on my older system. Have a new Mac now, color changes to text and/or background in the email itself no longer works. I attempt to change colors while writing a new email, or replying to an existing email, using the normal UI controls, the color icons on the tool bar for the window pertaining to the email which I’m writing, but the colors in the text area don’t change when I continue typing in the email window.

Changing color for ALL emails is not what I’m trying to do. I want to be able to change the text color of the current email when replying to someone else’s email, to make it easy to differentiate my responses embedded in their questions, etc.

Running TB V 102.3.2 (64-bit) on Mac OS Monterey V 12.6.

Looked at prior solutions on this msg board. There is no options menu under Tools, etc., guessing that is the Windows UI config. Or anything else on the Tools menu that looks helpful.

Unable to find any Display settings area.

The only config parameters that look potentially helpful are when I select Settings from the Thunderbird menu, then look at HTML Style. Not able to get my desired results though.

Use reader’s default colors is not selected. When I DO select that option, only black text is allowed.

I was able to change the default background color for ALL emails, and once I was able to change the text color for ALL emails, but couldn’t change it again. Had to select restore defaults to get a black text color again, and after that was only able to change the background color.

Again, changing color for ALL emails is not what I want. I want to be able to change the text color of the current email when replying to someone else’s email, to make it easy to differentiate my responses embedded in their questions, etc.

I created new emails every time — settings changes only seem to apply to new emails, not to existing, in-progress emails (I can understand how the app coding would work that way).

I tried two HTML settings: Automatic Both HTML and Plain Text

Changed back to Automatic since that’s the default.

Thanks for your help.
