(note. i'm very wary of posting this question here, as i've been told off, this apparently not being the right place for such matters. but this is where i get to from "Help>Submit Feedback…" in Thunderbird, and also Bugzilla leads me here. if this is not the right place, please can someone kindly tell me where is?)

102.2.2 has really messed things up for me. i can't see any emails after August 9th in any of my Saved Searches, and this is causing real problems.

i've tried deleting the global database and reindexing, but that did nothing.

Have TB 115.3.3 on Win11. I have my messages set to open as tabs. Previously, if I needed a message to open in a separate window, I would click "More" in the upper right of the message window itself, and it would open in a new window that I could then position next to another app to reference the content.

Since v115, that option in More has disappeared, and I can't figure out where it went. Is it still possible to do? Can someone please help me?

Thank you!

MacOS Catalina - Tbird, latest update, was working fine for months up until this morning. I have my primary email account set up as well as a few gmail accounts. The gmail accounts got new mail but my primary did not.

I switched to a new user account on the Mac and set up a tbird there using Imac. That works just fine, so I know my isp is working correctly.

Long and short, I restored my profile back to last night 5pm but that didn't fix. I tried restoring back to a week ago, no go. Then I restored the entire ~/Library/Thunderbird folder, no go.

Finally just created a new imac account which is reading emails now just fine but it's using up too much isp server space so I want to go back to the POP arrangement as before, using the previous profile. Are there other bits to restore to besides ~/Library/Thunderbird?

Hello, All along I have installed Firefox on my desktop pc with operating system Win. 7 and able to surf the internet etc. though I am aware that at my own risk that this is no longer supported. Recently there was a problem with my pc and I reinstalled Win 7 using the "Firefox Setup 115.4.0esr" where my Firefox account is now related to my gmail in accounts.google.com. From this NEW Firefox website all my previous bookmarks,history etc are not restored at all and instead it showed a fresh page on Bookmarks bar. Please let me know : 1). how to perform my PREVIOUS restoration of bookmarks, history etc ? I did not perform any "Sign in to Syn" because I fear that I will lose my previous bookmarks, history etc. 2). As a test only I keyed in my google accounts password in "Sign in to Syn" and was incorrect ? How can I retrieve/view my ORIGINAL password created in Firefox when I FIRST INSTALLED years ago ? 3). Does it mean that if my ORIGINAL password created can restore all my previous bookmarks, history etc if entered in "Sign in to Syn" ? 4). I DO NOT WISH TO change password because as per article read there is risk that I will lose some/all my previous bookmarks,history etc.

Thank You for your attention and early response.

Hello dear developers, engineers, and support,

For the first time in many, many years, I'm having complications with a Thunderbird mail folder, whose contents, the mails, don't get displayed any more.

I manage several e-mail adresses, and some of them have directories with quite large contents, I regularly accept the proposed compacting, and then place Thunderbird on another virtual desktop. So I suspect, it has to do with a compacting operation which got interrupted, as I shut down the computer, ignoring that the compacting may still have been taking place.

The folder itself is still visible on the left side of Thunderbird main window. This folder hosts all mail which has a certain term in the subject. The good news is when I do "Search messages" (in that folder) for that term, then all mail is displayed in the search window (altogether 5308 pieces of mail). So it is there. The main window also displays the same number of unread mail as that shown in the search window. And if I click on any mail in the search window, it gets displayed in a separate tab in the main window. So it is there, and it "really" "seems" to be "just" the display...

I went through this: https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/compacter-les-dossiers#w_complications-potentielles , as well as that: https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/compacting-folders-potential-complications

I did (in the main window) Folder (that with the failure), right click -> Properties -> Repair folder (three times), it didn't help. I did (in the main window) File -> Compact (all) folders , it didn't help.

In my /home/.../icedove/.../Mail/pop3.xxx.net folder there is a file with the name of the mail folder, it has a size of 923MB, the file with the same name with extension .msf has 3,8 MB

What should I do ?

Really thanks very much for the support you can give, and thanks anyway for all the great work on this classic programme that has accompanied me for years now.

Best regards

Ludo

Right after a Firefox update on or about 3-8-24, when I click on the network icon on the Windows 11 system tray, the network icon in the Quick Access area is no longer there. But when you click on the network icon you see some soft of video player controls if you have a video open in Firefox, and the network icon is gone! I need to have the network icon restored. And BTW, when clicking the pencil icon to add something to the quick access, there is NO network icon to be added! Its not there, in fact, the "add" is greyed out, and the option for adding "network" no longer exists. I don't really like the video player controls that show up like in the photo, and would like to be able to make that go away.

I went through all the settings and turned off anything that could even remotely be related, and still get the same results. Does Firefox have a built in VPN that I am unaware of? Is there a way to turn it off?
