since the last redevelopment of Mozilla Firefox I am having trouble exiting both my private and non private browser. I want to uninstall Firefox and re install it to see if that gets rid of the gremlins.

Hi,

Just checking if the Tools> Export is the correct way to download emails from Thunderbird. Not sure if the available articles on this topic are updated.

Thank you in advance!

Since the latest update to 106.0.2 "check for updates" runs non-stop until I disconnect from my vpn (ExpressVPN for Windows 7). I can reconnect my vpy but after a short while I cannot open other tabs or windows. I get the message "server not found".

What is going on? You have a fix for this?

I have used FF for years but his might make me switch.

hello! hope you are doing well, I recently got this problem where the bookmark bar does not appear on my browser even though it is on the "always show" option, it appears when I first open the browser, but once I enter any site, it disappears again, even on new tabs, and when I try different options for the BM, it makes it appear for one use only. I tried looking for solutions on the internet but to no avail. can you help me fix it? thank you in advance!

i troubleshooted everything , I did a refresh , things got worse Amazon just isnt loading Other quirks after the refresh like opening a window instead of a tab ( yes my settings show tab) It causes other websites to run slow i turned off my ghostery , ran in trouble shoot mode, amazon works fine in chrome ( which i downloaded just to check , please don't make me go to chrome )

I've been with firefox since netscape 1

Last night I was able to access www.wattpad.com with no problem and have in fact been receiving notices from them all day. However, when I tried to access the website this morning and this evening I get an Error 404 message. I can bring up the page on Chrome, but Chrome is not my preferred browser. I have received the same error on two different computers.

Hello: I just install FF 106, and was given a choice of several different browser colors. I did choose one, but really do not like it.HOE can i return the browser?? looked through all settings could not find a way to reverse back. Think i will be more careful next time:) thanks very much Allen

I have noticed that my browser saves certain data that was filled into forms on websites such as contact info, or 2FA codes. Of course, the all options for Logins and Passwords as well as Forms and Autofill are turned off. So I wonder, what causes this behavior? I would maybe think these are some cookies, but after clearing them and deleting all site data this still happens. For 2FA codes this is harmless. but I'm concerned Firefox may do this for passwords too. Anyway, why would I need to save info of TOTP?

Note: Example is for SimpleLogin.

Hi forum,

I use Firefox 104.0 (64-bit) in Ubuntu. I use Firefox to connect to my gmail and my professional services which requires two factor authentication. For each of these services I check "Don't ask me again on this device". But each time I restart my laptop, I have to enter again my TFA. I guess this is a configuration problem, but I can't find which one is it: I don't know browse in private mode, so it should be something else. Any ideas? Kind regards

Dear all, I have a couple of calendars on the disk as network calendars (file:///...ics) with offline support, and I just realized that I cannot delete any event. These calendars are not read-only, I can see the option delete, both with right-click on the event and double-click to edit the event, but after pressing delete, the event remains on the calendar. Just pressing the delete button on the keyboard after selecting the event has the same behaviour. If I try shift the events from one calendar to the other, they do appear in the new calendar, but they do not disappear from the old. I have restarted Thunderbird, and also tried this on another computer with the same results. Both szstems are Windows 11, Th underbird 115.10.1 I would be very grateful for any suggestions

Hey everyone,

I've been encountering a persistent error with Firefox, and I'm hoping someone here might have a solution. Whenever I try to open Firefox, I keep getting an error message that says "Secure Connection Failed" for certain websites. It's really frustrating because it's preventing me from accessing important sites. I've tried clearing my cache and cookies, but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, how did you resolve it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

After I installed Thunderbird on this Win 10 machine thunderbird stayed in junk mail learning mode for about a year and a half I tried the put it back in learn mode but it never finished this tome either. Dave

My mouse cursor is suddenly extremely slow whenever firefox has focus. Instead of crossing the entire screen with a small hand movement, I get maybe 1/10th of the width of the screen with the same movement.

I am attempting to use Thunderbird to migrate user "archives" from personal Gmail accounts to new Google Workspace branded accounts.

The situation is:

For many years, users were using a "hybrid" account for their work emails, so they could lean on Gmail's large storage on free accounts. They would use a personal Gmail account, collect emails, and "Send As" from them. They are now moved into a new Google Workspace environment.

Users' personal email accounts could have a 50/50 split of work/personal email, and some have up to 10+ years and 50,000+ work emails.

I have set up their source and destination email accounts in Thunderbird, and am using Incoming/Outgoing Search filters to identify their work emails (as there is a unique domain) and copy only those emails to their new work-only GW accounts. It is going into basically Archive>Inbox and Archive>Sent filters on the target end, and will not be mixed with current mail.

The problem is the Copy function is breaking... a LOT. The first account I did worked flawlessly, but the second account would break when trying to copy mail. Even just 3,000 of them, or 1,500 of them. I can't tell if it's breaking because of sync interruptions, or because of mail-name-length-exceeding, or whatever reason.

I am hoping there is a way to "keep copying no matter what" and auto-skip issues. Or if not, some way to put the client in the best condition to copy thousands/ten-thousands of emails from source to destination properly. The length of upload-sync time is not concerning. Just that the copy goes properly. (So for instance, is there a way to pause syncing and allow the copy to occur "local-only" first, in case the constant processing is breaking it.)

Whatever is needed.

This is what I think:

The release notes reiterate that the version is only available as a direct download. One can only assume that if 102.1.0, for example, is already installed, that there must be some preferred procedure for using the download to update the existing installation.

Unfortunately there is no mention of any such procedure. There is no README. There is no INSTALL file. There is an executable called updater but running it yields:

Usage: updater patch-dir install-dir apply-to-dir [wait-pid [callback-working-dir callback-path args...]]

which is far from explanatory.

Since these updates are obviously generated by some sort of build script, it would seem to be a simple matter to add or clarify the update procedure. Once done, the work would not need to be repeated.

I would urge the developers to remember that not everyone who uses Thunderbird is a mozilla developer. The users lack many of the skills and background that are second nature to the developers. Without a bit more clarity, the average user cannot benefit from all the developer's hard work unless they can actually install the updates.

Thank you

When I click on a link, a whole new copy of the browser seems to open from the right side of the screen. This is disconcerting to say the least. More importantly I find it hard to go back and forth between windows to get something done.

This just started when I downloaded/installed a recent new version of Firefox. (Version 104.0.1)

How do I get rid of this "feature"? I mush prefer opening screens in the same browser copy.

You can see the context menu in the photo, I would want to hide the pin tabs button so I could stop clicking it on accident. Pinned aren't a feature I use nor find useful anyway.

Hello, I was using a website that has a list editor with a delete button. Everytime I clicked the delete button, the website would ask me to confirm with an alert. There was a checkbox below from Firefox that that sounded like it would make the website stop asking me to confirm every single time, so I clicked it. Now, the delete button just doesn't work! I think Firefox is just blocking the button from doing anything at all. I need that to start working again but I don't know how to find where that setting might be stored. Firefox doesn't show individual cookies and I'm afraid to delete all the website's cookies.

Is there a direct solution to this problem? Thanks.

FYI the website is justinguitar.com, and the list editor is part of the Practice tool.
