When asked to re-enter the appropriate password I enter the never ending merry-go-round......I have 6 addresses. Whilst it is possible to access then via their specific accounts held with Microsoft this is time consuming,hence the preference of Thunderbirdb which up until now has been trouble free for approx 15 years. This unnecessary development makes me wonder why I only need a user naame aand password to access via Microsoft. I have tried every method kindly provided by other users to no avail. Can anyone provide the correct server setting for both IMAP and SMTP? As I have said these 'new' authentification/s are in my opinion tantamount to using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. I hope my explantion makes sense? Surely I cannot be alone?

Firefox is displaying menus IN CONTENT (not the Firefox hamburger) as hamburgers when they are supposed to be full text menus. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome display these menus IN THE CONTENT correctly. Firefox is turning them into burgers.

This is happening with a website I own. It started when I changed ONE side menu on ONE web page to a hamberger. Firefox then began displaying ALL menus on ALL pages as drop-down burgers. The other two browsers did not engage in this stupidity.

These three images are the same page at the same time.

Hi,

For the past couple of months, FF has been running insanely slow. It takes several minutes for webpages to load. My full-fibre broadband is up to speed, I've cleared the cache numerous times, I've disabled most of my extensions, I'm running the latest version, and I only have 5-6 tabs open max.

When things are really slow, the task manager shows that FF is using huge amounts of memory, with more FF processes showing that I have tabs open.

According to a thread last year, Malwarebytes Browserguard was slowing FF down. Is this still the case? If so, what non-slowing alternative do you recommend? I don't want to turn it off until I have another one installed.

Thanks!

I don't like the new layout of Shortcuts. The "Add Shortcut" slot always disappears whenever I clear my history or have "remember history" disabled in settings so I can't add more pins if I wanted to.

How can I get the old, previous layout back?

When I try to open some old messages in my inbox, they no longer open correctly, but appear as computer code connected with emails from other messages. The same messages open correctly in my phone and in my backup Gmail inbox so are not lost, but I am concerned that my laptop may be infected, though a Norton 360 scan shows no issues. Can anyone explain what is going on and whether I should be worried?

Firefox is slow switching between youtube tabs and loading them oftentimes. Not using vpn. Use DOH tried different DNS. I tried to clean all data, no addons, even reinstall firefox. Only 80% ram is used from 16GB. I have 3200mhz ram and i5 9600 KF and samsung 860 there should be no problem. I used to have 3000 tabs even open in 2016 in chrome running off page file and there was never performance problems lol! Firefox sucks on youtube even it might be not its fault. I tried performance settings auto/vs no hw accelration too. I am WIndows 11 desktop 23H2...

Any idea why this crap is so slow. I tried disable tracking that helped bit with slow UI but not with tabs and performance issues!

Hello, I love Thunderbird, but my new Macbook Air keyboard does not have an insert key (for overwriting). Is there any facility within Thunderbird for Mac for me to toggle this mode? (For instance, Word for Mac has the overwrite toggle in its bottom menu bar)? For deleting characters forward, I must use fn + backspace, but an insert or overwrite mode would so useful for general editing. Regardless, many thanks, Nick

I have several email accounts, and use the Unified Folders view.

Up until the latest release (128.2.3esr), when I pressed the "a" key, it would archive the highlighted message and highlight the next one down.

Since this release, it sometimes still does this, but regularly shows a message saying there aren't any messages, even though there are still some in my inboxes. No amount of clicking on anything makes any difference, I can click on an individual inbox or the "Inbox" node at the top, and still get the same message.

If I restart TB, it shows the messages fine.

Anyone know what's going on? Whilst restarting isn't the end of the world, it's annoying to have to do it multiple times a day.

On Win11 with all latest updates if that makes any difference.

Thanks

I have 3 gmail accounts and every day lately Thunderbird does not connect and retrieve mail like it has done for years. There is no indication of a problem. But after hours of no mail, I manually use a browser and log in to gmail and read the mail. To make it work, I need to delete the oauth passwords and reauthorize google. What has changed in Thunderbird or gmail in the last few weeks?

I've written to google, I've written to firefox. They've had me try a bunch of stuff and nothing is working. Can anyone help me????
