duplicate of /questions/1443841 thread.

I cannot get firefox to update. It is set up for automatic updates but they don't happen. Even if I try manual installation of updates it says the update fails. I ran it in troubleshooting mode and the problem still exists. I restarted my computer and the problem still exists. I am using a mac running on Monterey. How can I get it to auto update again? (and even though it says failed to check for or install updates, it looks like I do have the latest version of firefox)

Missing folders after upgrade to 102

Hi there, After downloading and installing the new Thunderbird 102 onto my 64 bit PC, I am using imap, I have found that although all the email accounts appear there and many folders or sub folders missing. As well as the content of some folders that appear but are just empty.

For example, on my main email they Inbox appears but is greyed out and shows none of my current emails but with the sub folders they are there and the emails are there.

So: Account - me@mydomain.com Inbox - greyed out and no content Drafts - working fine Sent - working fine Spam - working fine Sub folder A - working fine Sub folder B - working fine

It’s as if it just hasn’t subscribed to the Inbox. Although that doesn’t make sense if the sub folders are there… I can send emails fine. They appear with my footer that is set up in the account and they appear when I log into webmail and look in its inbox.

I tried, using TB, to move an email into the inbox, to try and prompt the activation of the folder but as it is greyed out in the move function as well it cannot be done. I have looked at the account settings and cannot see an issue, it still has the imap address to get the emails.

Second example

Account - Me@mydomain.net No folders :(

On several other accounts I can see the account but with no folders at all below them.

When I installed it there was nothing else running, there were no issues displayed and it was, as with every other update of TB since I started using it back at the beginning, quite fast.

I made no changes to settings after install as I wanted to look around and see what had changed. I did notice that despite it being an update and is used offline that it took quite sometime to download emails in several folders. I figured it being an update that it the locally stored msf(?) files that were already on my PC.

This is really quite frustrating and disappointing as although I can use webmail it does not have as friendly user interface and accessibility as an email client and I do not use Micro$oft products.

Is there anyone that can assist with this?

Thanks for reading this and I will also thank anyone that can help.

As said in the title, both Firefox, Firefox DE and Chrome will open and crash/close instantly on my new Lenovo Legion PC with Windows 11 installed on it. Only Edge works, and so far I've tried a lot of solutions : -Restart PC -Uninstall, delete files and fresh install both programs -The MSCONFIG thing and unchecking start programs -Every update Windows update recommended me -Entire new windows install, without any linking with my previous pc (which had the same problem two times already, both fixed by returning to a previous version of windows)

I believed it was a ram problem with my previous pc because it was old, but this one is completely new and has the same problem, while there's nothing except my microsoft account that is common to both PCs

I'm completely lost, help me please (writing this on another PC)

FIXED! Unable to log in at server - OAuth2 token not being saved for Gmail?

I am trying to move Gmail accounts from an old Outlook to Thunderbird due to new OAuth2 rules but can't get the accounts set up in Thunderbird on Windows 10: I installed a fresh copy of 31.8 and Imported emails and address books from Outlook ok. I then installed (upgraded to) 91.10 and tried to set up my existing Gmail account: I type in my gmail username and password and choose POP3 then Done and the Google Credentials window pops up. I enter my email and password and it asks to give Thunderbird access so I choose Allow. The Account Setup screen then says Checking Password and Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password... If I choose Done it just goes in the same loop. If I Configure Manually I can see all the info and pop/smtp servers are correct and using SSL/TLS and OAuth2 but when I try to Get Messages for the account it just pops up the Google Credentials window and after I put in the username/password again no email is downloaded. There is never anything stored in Saved Passwords either so presumably the OAuth2 token is not being saved? I have tried: Reinstalling Thunderbird (including deleting any leftover Thunderbird folders in Programs and User Data) New profile Ensured Cookies are all allowed Added https://accounts.google.com as specifically Allowed exception In my Google account it says Thunderbird IS allowed access (it adds another allow access entry every time I enter the Credentials) Disabled antivirus (Kaspersky) My Gmail username and password are 100% correct - I can log into webmail using them no problem. I have tried to set up 3 different Gmail accounts and all fail with same errors. Hope you can help as I am completely stuck now, thanks

How to make a full totally clean new installation of Thunderbird

Hello! I want to make a new totally clean installation of TB to get rid of the grey/italic folders issue (the folders and it's structure is correct on the IMAP server and as well display in K9 Mail on my mobile and none of the solutions posted here, such as renaming the folders etc. did work). What I did so far: - Uninstalled TB - Deleted the profiles folder in the user folder (both in "local" and "roaming") - Deleted remaining TB folders in "ProgramData" and "Program Files (x86)" - Emptied trash bin - Restarted

But... After installation the old folder incl. the grey/italic folders appear again.

Does TB store under different names the previous profiles? How do I force TB to load totally new the folder structure as it is on the server?

Any hints are mostly welcome!

Best, Wolfram

For reasons that will likely never be known Thunderbird stopped yesterday. Clicking on the icon showed the spinning icon for a second or two and then ended without the application starting. It had been running flawlessly for several years.

I checked with task manager, nothing from Thunderbird. I restarted. Same problem.

So, I found and installed the beta version which is working fine but I've lost my address book and message filters.

I can re-create the filters easily, but would prefer not to have to re-create the addresses. Is there a way to find the old address book(s) and use them?

Thanks -dmd-
