I got a new laptop and transferred Thunderbird from old to new computer. Now the font for messages in my inbox is very small. How do I increase the font for the text of messages in my inbox. Was much larger on old PC. I have been able to increase font on messages I send, but can't find anyplace to increase inbox.

I removed everything from the bookmarks menu that I don't need. Now there is a battery of separators left, consuming menu space. See attached screenshot of German Firefox version.

How to get rid of at least four of those five separators?

Also, it would be great to have all my bookmarks at the top of the menu, while all that stuff I rarely need (Show bookmark sidebar, More bookmarks, Bookmars symbol bar ...) is at the bottom. Is there an way to change that?

Until the last FF release (99), when I downloaded files from my bank for MSMoney FF would apply the action to use the MS Money import handler. Not anymore. FF will now only save the file. Even if I choose "always ask" it still just saves the file - never asks what to do with it (save or open with). Please fix this. It's worked fine for decades and now doesn't work at all. I tried adding images to show what happens but the ones that show what FF is doing and the FF settings won't upload. Only the banking download page images will upload. They just show that I pick MSMoney as the download format.

Hi there,

After a Firefox Refresh, one site I used to access everyday does not accept my user Id/password anymore. The site did not return any warning message like wrong password. It just doesn't go trough when I hit 'enter'.

The same user/pw is still working well in Chrome. I asked for help on the site I could not access, but they have no issues like mine, and his system is regularly on.

I have already cleared all my history, cookies, everything. I have installed Firefox again. Nothing.

Any idea? Thanks

I am running WikiSpecies on Ubuntu Firefox 64-bit v. 98.0.2.

I used to be able to display a collection of unused files with the used ones but showing a red color indicating that the file was unused (because noone had entered anything other than the file name).

Now, however, ALL files in a directory (e. g., see https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Craspedophorus) are shown with the same color, whether they include additional implementation details or not.

Would it be possible for you to restore the "unused" color of empty files? It is bothersome for me to open EVERY file, empty or not, in a directory just to find that most or all of them never have been implemented. Adding a special color -- or other distinctive display -- to unimplemented files would save me a great deal of time.

I am attaching a picture of a typical unimplemented file.

1. Some of my emails display BLANK content when opened; since Thunderbird updated with 91.8.0 to my Windows 11 64bit. The header displays correctly but the view screen is blank. I've tried troubleshooting in safemode and disabled any add ons, reset all the display controls and restarted with no success to resolve the problem. I've tried different view modes, Original, Simple HTML and Plain text and still get nothing showing. I've tried to copy the blank screen to clipboard to try different color modes with no luck. Not a problem of White on White text. The message is in there when I check the Message Source, but it does not display in the view. However the original mail does display correctly on my browser when viewed on my ATT email account which forwards to Thunderbird on my computer.

ODD Solution: i just noticed that when I move the email with the BLANK content to TRASH, then that content does display correctly! Then I can move that email back to my INBOX and it displays there correctly. Isn't that crazy? Ha,ha, the quirks of computers are like quarks in quantum mechanics with random results.

2. Some of my email content is displayed under the WRONG HEADER. The email content displayed under the wrong header is usually the content from the prior message. For example I get an email from CVS ok. Then my next Email is from Citibank, but that email displays the content from the prior CVS email. No solution to that as of yet. Are these BUGS in the new release 91.8.0?

When I log on to the National Savings website using Firefox ( though not when I log in with Chrome) I get the pop-up requiring me to accept or edit Cookies at every page on this particular website. It even happens when I select LOG OFF. Hence it occurs maybe six or more times whilst I am browsing the website. I complained to NS&I but they report it is not caused by their system. I therefore assume it it something within Firefox which is the problem. Can someone please advise me how to prevent these pop-ups. My operating system is Windows 10.

TB has been working for years with 2 gmail IMAP accounts and Google calendar. TB has just updated to 91.8 and the gmails and calendar stopped working. I deleted the stored passwords, started TB in troubleshooter mode and re-entered the google passwords.

Google calendar is now working but the 2 gmail accounts still don't work.

I deleted one of the accounts from TB and re created from scratch. Account creation fails with

 Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration username or password.

The other gmail account which I haven't deleted comes up with an authorisation error after entering the google password and allowing access.

I have checked that TB cookies are allowed and javascript is enabled.

I have run out of things to try.

What I don't understand is the calendar is working but gmail isn't even though they use the same Google account and password (and Oauth2).

Cant login to Gmail with OAuth2, unsupported browser error

I am using the latest Thunderbird 91.8.0.8126 and latest Firefox 99.0.1.8136. I am having the same issue as reported in these posts:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1343530 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1344530 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1350244.

I have 5 Gmail accounts that I manage for different family members. All accounts in Thunderbird access Gmail via IMAP, and are configured to login with OAuth2.

This week, Google removed Thunderbird access from 2 of the accounts, I do not know why. When I login to the accounts via the web in Firefox, Thunderbird was no longer listed under their 3rd party access. The other 3 accounts are fine.

1 of the accounts does not have 2FA enabled. I was able to re-login with Thunderbird when prompted, and I was presented with a window to grant Thunderbird access, which worked, no problem. So Thunderbird's browser was clearly recognized.

But the other account does have 2FA enabled, and that is where the problem lies. Thunderbird prompts for login, and the username and password are accepted, but when I enter the 2FA verification code, Thunderbird presents a window saying "Your browser is not supported anymore. Please update to a more recent one." (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1677845). There is no option presented to grant access to Thunderbird. Yet, the verification did work, because my primary email receives notification that the account was logged in from a new device.

For the record, the failing 2FA account is managed by Family Link (the other non-2FA account is not). According to https://support.google.com/mail/thread/127545584/, such accounts cannot login to email clients. But that has never been a problem before, and 1 of the other still-working accounts in Thunderbird is also managed by Family Link and works just fine, so that can't be the culprit.

Also, I do have AVG installed with Email Shield enabled, but disabling that makes no difference.

Thunderbird's UserAgent is "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/91.8.0". And yes, cookies are enabled in both Thunderbird and Firefox.

Is there a way to get Thunderbird to use Firefox properly for Gmail login, instead of its own integrated browser?

Hi,

I have my Thunderbird 91.8.0 (64-bit) (Fedora 35) setup to use PGP aliases- This worked well quite some weeks. Since a short time (like one week or so) I do encounter a problem:

First when trying to use an alias, thunderbird told me there was no key for encrytion found. So I checked my settings and the profile directory for the .json file containing the alias rules. It was there as expected. Trying to fix the problem I did copy the file, rename it an change the mail.openpgp.alias_rules_file value to the new name. Now it would find the file again but tell me the corresponding public PGP key is missing.

I checked using the Thunderbird integrated OpenPGP Key Manager and indeed the public key for the alias was missing. So I did try to import this key again after downloading and saving it (from https://keys.openpgp.org/) but this always throws an error which doesn't tell a reason (see picture).

Btw: I also checked the pubring.gpg file with grep and it seems like the desired key is in there (I'm not very experienced in using grep but the output was somethig like "found occurence in binary file" for: grep XXXX (name of the owner of the key) ~/.thunderbird/NNNNxrez.default-release/pubring.gpg)

Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it? Maybe there is just a format problem when trying to import from https://keys.openpgp.org/ https://keys.openpgp.org/] ? Cause I did test it with another key from there with the same result...

Would appreciate any help or tip what to try!

Cheers!

I'm running Firefox 99.0.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. Recently (I think since I updated to Ubuntu 22.04 about a week ago), Firefox has been refusing to show me file upload dialogs. When I click a button that's supposed to give me one, nothing happens.

This has been happening with: - The "attach files" button in Gmail - A file upload button on Gradescope (website for managing homework assignments) - File -> Open File... and Ctrl+O.

Dragging and dropping a file onto an email in Gmail does attach the file -- it's just that the button doesn't work.

I've tried restarting, and I've tried running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode -- so far nothing has fixed the problem. What else should I do?

I've contacted them, but the solutions they're telling me to do have had no success. I've already disabled other extensions to see if that was the problem, but it wasn't. I cleared cache and cookies, and I've also removed the autofill option as well. My firefox is up to date.
