Ron Goldthorpe <[email]@gmail.com> Attachments 12:33 (2 minutes ago) to no-reply

I put in my Plus net Password and press enter and then it takes me to the next screen see Capture 1 I then put in my Google Internet Password and then press enter and it then takes me to Capture 2 and then I am completely lost I have used Thunderbird in my Spain Apartment and also at home in England for several years and it has never taken me to Google and never come up with another Language Fortunately I have logged into Google Mail and managed to add my Plusnet EMail to this otherwise I would not be able to read your reply without logging into a very Basic Plusnet Webmail

It is the first time I have ever used Google Mail it is not bad but I prefer Thunderbird if I can get it working again

Yours Sincerely Ron Goldthorpe

PS when you reply can you please tell me how to find it in your system

Hello,

In the past, FF downloaded documents without opening them in the browser. This is two weeks now that whenever I download a document, FF is now opening the document in the browser without asking me.

I welcome if someone could tell me what I can do to stop FF from opening the documents.

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

Firefox wasn't working well on a seldom-used laptop, and the update to 100.0.1 didn't go quite right, so I deleted the old version and (using the odious Edge) tried downloading a fresh copy of the software.

But then I get a message from "7-ZIP" that reads "Can not create temp folder archive"

I'm stuck. Advice?

I think I have a corrupt profile in Thunderbird. I would like to totally wipe the installation from my computer and start over.

When I uninstall using the built-in installer in Windows apps, some of the features are removed, but apparently not all, because when I re-download and reinstall, my old emails pop right back up. That tells me that info. about that installation is still lurking on my computer somewhere. I want a completely fresh installation that requires me to recreate my Thunderbird profile, etc. and requires me to re-link Thunderbird to my G-mail account.

Is there a way to accomplish this erasure?

Thanks a mil.

Hi

Someone please help.

I was running Thunderbird ver. 38.x.x on my Win 7 PC. All was good and never had any problems.

Recently I made the mistake to update to latest ver. 102.x.x.

This caused several issues and was not really what I was expecting. Therefore I decided to go back again.

Now I am running ver. 52.9.1. which is more or less like ver. 38. However I have one issue.

I have several IMAP mails accounts. 2 of these mail accounts are from an old mail server provider which is no longer in use. However I had access to all these older mails, which are located on my PC.

Since I did the upgrade and came back down I can no access thes older mails. When I open the account inbox, Thunderbird tries to connect to the mail server, which no longer exists.

How can I have Thunderbird to open these mails, which I assume are still located on my PC?

PS: I have even tried to install ver. 38, (same issue)

Thanks for help. :-)

I am running on Linux OpenSuse 15.4. I upgraded to Thunderbird 102.2.2 a few days ago, using OpenSuse's YAST Software Manager. I manage 3 email accounts in Thunderbird. The first 2 work fine, but the 3rd will no longer let me see the email bodies of any of the emails in its Inbox or Sent folders. No matter which email item I click on in the lists, the body pane in the lower right of the display remains blank. I have not touched the settings of that account and it worked fine before the upgrade. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is a very bizarre problem. Basically I can't install any Firefox addon neither on my desktop OR may laptop. I noticed this issue just couple of days ago. When I try to install any addon normally, from a link, it tells me that the addon can't be installed because the file is corrupt. Tried several addons, all same problem. On my desktop AND on my laptop. On my desktop I'm running ver. 103, but on my laptop I still had ver. 102.1, so there is no Firefox update issue. When I try to install addon from xpi file, it tells me that I have no permission to open that file and that's it. I tried to take ownership of that file but it didn't solve the issue I tried to disable my AV program, but it didn't do anything. On my laptop, I tried to refresh FF, no help. I tried to start FF in safe mode, same problem. I created new profile, same issue. Eventually, I totally uninstalled FF, removing program itself, removing Appdata folder and even registry entry. Installed fresh copy of FF, same problem exists. Then, I noticed one thing. When I tried to sync fresh FF installation on my laptop, it synced everything, EXCEPT for addons. So, something is preventing me doing anything regarding addons. Themes install just fine. I've struggling with this problem since yesterday and at this point I totally ran out of any fresh ideas how to solve this issue, thus posting here. I'll appreciate any fresh idea as what to do next. Thanks
