I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04 and now the address book crashes when I attempt to use it to create an email; thunderbird freezes and give me the window stating 'not responding' and if want to force quit or wait. I end up having to force quit. But I use my address book's saved lists for a number of emails, and now this is not working. How can I fix it? I would need detailed steps, as I am not anything but a general user. Thanks.

Whilest using the Android Firefox app, suddenly all Videos except normal GIFs stopped playing and are instead eternally loading or showing a blank screen. This is the case for Youtube, Vimeo, Imgur and all other Platforms I found so far. By using the beta version of the app in the "about:config" menu I changed the setting "media.mediasource.vp9.enabled" to "true" which fixed it for Youtube, but other Videos on other sites are still not working. I also tried disabling all addons and doing a complete clean reinstall of the app, but this too had no effect.

Any ideas on how to fix are appreciated :) Thanks in advance

Hi, Up to previous version (TB 101), I could send emails to any group from my MacOSX contact list which appeared in send field and I used this all the time to select mailing lists. Now the send to a group fills automatically like before, but sending fails with message "groupname <grouname> is not a valid address" Maybe, if it cannot be fixed soon, and the new address book does not feature MacOSX group sending I wsih to get back to previous version of TB where it worked fine. I attach screen captures, my version of TB is in french language Thank you

After changing my password I get the following error message: "Server imap.pt.lu has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem" Thunderbird is running well on my mobile, so why not on my PC? I have tried these things: Internet connection is working (as you can see from this mail) I have checked server settings, they seem okay. I have deinstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. All to no avail. Can you help me?

I had to add Javascript because one of my accounts need Javascript to open. After installing Javascript and allowing for all to be 'true', I still get this message when I try to open a 'show blocked content' in my email.

"The address wasn’t understood

Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (javascript) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

   You might need to install other software to open this address."

I never had any problem before installing Javascript. Thanks for any solutions.

Google search hangs until I clear cookies which fixes it, then hangs again soon after. I've tried clearing cache as well. I've also gone through my extensions and gotten rid of anything that could cause issues. I disabled duckduckgo (see attached pic of my current extensions). I'm also updated to the latest version (see pic). It's also happening on my desktop and my laptop pc's. I do IT work and computer repair professionally and I'm out of things to try here! Can you help me with this issue?

My installation was updated as of 11/17 to ver 102.5 but the update message completed on 11/19 since I have automatic background installation set for my option.

I currently am not able to download any messages from my provider to the any of the 3 inboxes set up under the installation. The get messages button does not do anything. My provider has a POP server and I am unable to send any mail outbound either; the message is that the SMTP server is unavailable or not accepting connections at this time.

Tech Support from the provider denies any server problems and in fact, in using a web browser connection to the mail server, all the incoming mail is visible and can be accessed.

Any ideas on what fixes I can make to restore the ability to see current mail in TBird??

Passwords are correct, connection info is correct. My emails work fine on my phone. I have uninstalled the program but it had no effect. I am using version: 102.0.2 (64-bit)

I recently swapped to Firefox (113.0) from Chrome.

I'm trying to open my employer's website (https://www.accenture.com/us-en) but it doesn't load on Firefox.

It's not an internet issue as I can open up Edge and it will load instantly. Firefox gives the "this page is slowing down Firefox" message

I tried turning off my extensions (I have uBlock) without it making a difference.
