My browser isn't working when I try to search on Google, but an auto-connection does work. I've checked everything out but I can't seem to find the answer.

I don't know what happened because the browser was working fine earlier this morning and I didn't do anything to compromise it. I didn't go to settings and change anything. I suspect someone may have 'hacked in,' if that is still even a 'thing.' I think this because when I try to shut off my internet temporarily someone turns it back on and I usually have to 'fight' with whoever that is to get my internet to go off. I tried to ask google a question I wanted the answer to. That question was, how long does the flu last (because I have it or covid.) I also asked how long does covid last. What happened was that spinning thing where it was continually searching but never going to the site. Can you help, please? Thanks in advance if you can.

Somehow, for some pdf files, the font looks very weird as in the following image. When I open the same website with other browsers like Brave it looks normal. It also becomes normal when I download it and open it with pdf reader. So this is basically a font issue. Any solution?

Thunderbird, new installation, with 5 email accounts. Only one is of any size (7+ GB), but it is only sync'ing 6 months of messages, so the amount on disk is not huge. The 4 others are all below 1 gb. After just a week or 2, I am getting the "compact folders" alert, and it offers to recover 51.9 GB of disk space! This worries me, because I had just about 25 gb of disk space free when I installed Thunderbird, so it can't possibly recover that much space. The Thunderbird folder in AppData/Roaming is only 1.74 gigs. Where is it getting 50+gb from? I'm afraid to run this maintenance task.

Hi, I've used Thunderbird before but not recently, and am looking forward to having it again. After a number of years using webmail for multiple accounts I started using the Seamonkey version, but did not know my local archived email was not backed up and I lost several years of archived email when my last computer crashed. I tried reading the FAQs but for whatever reason I can't figure it out on my own. How do I find the path for local profile stuff -- probably also need to check this on another family member's computer as well! Thank you.

I'd be happy and grateful to you and your tips. I use Win11 and Thunderbird Ver. 115.5.1 . My problem started months ago. The attached image shows the typical message I receive: the sender does not show, my name always appears instead (Francesco Tamburrano). Moreover when there is a link, clicking on it does not act (does not transfer to the address shown). I am ready to provide further info and examples of received messages. This problem is only with Thunderbird. I am obliged to use another mail....but I love Thunderbird, I really like it! Best regards to the reader!

Why is when I leave multiple windows open with multiple open in the windows, the next I go to look for the window it's closed. Sometimes it happens when Windows updates, sometimes it doesn't.

Why I'm asking this question here is ridiculous! I never get an answer. Anybody else had a issue with this? Is there a Browser that doesn't do this, I'm fed with FireFox!!
