TB frequently freezes when writing a reply. There are no reports in crash reports. It shows this image, and says reporting to Microsoft when I click close. Version 140.4.0esr (64-bit)

How can I fix the problem?

Crash report IDs: bp-31e9bb18-9b55-45a8-85fb-5e8340251103 | bp-c7eef78f-d94c-4949-923e-533ed0251031 | bp-6eb06859-ca6b-4046-97bc-000b90251022

A bit over a month ago, I was away from home for several weeks. When I came back, a browser that worked perfectly before became near unusable with constant and random crashes. Sometimes they occur even with no user input. I have tried troubleshooting mode, I have removed all extensions, I have tried all the fixes I found on Google, I have reinstalled the browser, I have updated all the drivers, I have done MemTest86 which was passed with flying colours and I have even installed a firefox fork (waterfox) to try and fix this all to no avail. I have no clue where to go from here, as it feels very bizarre. All help is much appreciated.

Hi, I’m using a iPad Mini 6 with the latest OS and a up to date version of Firefox. When logging into and trying to use Instagram the browser becomes completely unusable and locks the iPad and sometimes it’s so bad it restarts itself. I was wondering if it’s a known issue and being looked at? It’s been happening for quite a few months now ever since the video autoplay options where implemented.

Thanks for any help in advance :)

(PS: all other third party browsers work as intended on my iPad)

I clicked on the Google icon and got a screen that said "Gak, that site just crashed" Has been happening periodically with other links. If I restart the computer the problem disappears so I can ask you for help Thanks

I am getting sick and tired of Thunderbird freezing while writing an email, screen graying out, and having to close the program and lose the material without it having been saved in any way. This has been happening for two or three weeks.

My Firefox keeps crashing several times daily.

Here are reports of the latest:

bp-11b5db38-0184-4ac0-a332-b10390251107 bp-73e35a70-a845-43db-a298-690d90251107 bp-c96ea9c5-c651-46e8-bc42-ad7830251107

Right after typing my email address and pressing "Continue", Thunderbird crashes. I wanted to give it a try after many years of not using it, but then it crashes right at the start.

Here's the crash report:

Hi

I am using the latest TB build, 144.0.1and have only the British dictionary as an extension, no themes.

Occasionally TB will hang when launched and the Windows event viewer will show this....(added image)_

The friendly xml log within the event viewer...

AppName thunderbird.exe

 AppVersion 144.0.1.0 
 ProcessId 0x6234 
 StartTime 0x1dc51956edcf231 
 TerminationTime 5 
 ExeFileName C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe 
 ReportId f3ad169f-c629-4357-85ae-7db29d0541f1 
 PackageFullName  
 PackageRelativeAppId  

HangType Cross-process

as noted, this only happens when the email client is launched and will not happen each time. I have tried without the dictionary, as it is so random it can take a while to occur, but that does not seem to make a difference.

I am using Windows 11 25h2

Thanks

Upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 a couple months ago. Since then, TB freezes nearly every time I am composing an email. "Help About" says TB is up to date. Remedies? Or do I have to wait for a new version?

Hi

Thunderbird is crashing with error message: expected value at line 1 column 1

Error message in crash dialog box: " Thunderbird Crash Reporter Thunderbird had a problem and crashed. Unfortunately, the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash. Details expected value at line 1 column 1 Restart Thunderbird | Quit Thunderbird "

troubleshooting so far:

• How often? periodically (sometime within minutes of loading, sometime hours).
• uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled Thunderbird (using winget)
• created a NEW profile (have to re-download mail / folders ... taking day(s?) ... since when I walk away and come back hoping download has finished but it has crashed) ... not sure when it will get caught up ( main mail file is huge (20+GB) )
• tried: accessibility.force_disabled changed from 0 to 1 (found suggestion in a google search)
• tried: troubleshoot mode (even though I don't use any add-ons)
• I use multiple mail accounts (although currently I'm only using main one, trying to isolate problems)

Thanks for help.

Confused. Version 144.0.1 | Released October 16, 2025 Says 32 bit. I thought I downloaded 64 bit.

Problem: Freezes when I click anywhere on TBird desktop

How do I address the freezing problem?

Thanks Robert

I was trying to change the time emails are kept on the server so I went into "Account Settings" and now Thunderbird is locked onto this page. I get a "Mozilla Thunderbird not responding" message when I try and click on anything and I can't get out of this page nor access my Inbox. I've tried starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode which didn't work. I then uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Thunderbird but when it starts it goes straight back to the frozen "Account Settings" page. I've checked my profile and there is a new profile that was created with today's date. There is also a profile from June 2025. If the old profile contains all my emails and folders up to yesterday, that would be OK.

Hi -- I'm getting quite a few page crashes that seem mostly tied to YouTube, although not exclusively. I only recently swapped over to Firefox from Chrome because I was having similar crashing issues with that browser as well. This is after a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro and a number of different benchmark tests (no known issues with CPU, GPU, or RAM).

Since there are so many reports that all seem different, could someone help troubleshoot? I really can't tell if it's a browser problem, maybe something with my MOBO or PSU or other hardware.
