This issue shows up randomly, affecting a random number of messages. Issue is that one message will take over other messages following. Message notification will look normal in the inbox, but click on the message following X message, and the X message is what will appear. The subject line at the very top of the page will be from Y, but the rest of the information following will be from X. Two, three or more messages may be affected. Deleting X will make no difference. This time, four messages were affected.

Hi! Recently, in my laptop, Firefox started freezing at every single startup; after force shutdown and restart, though, it works flawlessly each time, and for the whole duration of the session at the computer. Can anyone please suggest a solution?

My laptop set-up is practically identical to that of my PC, but the latter doesn't exhibit the same malfunction.

I've tried anything I could, including reinstalling the browser, removing all of my bookmarks (about 10,000) and addressing extensions (Decentraleyes, Default Bookmark Folder, Disable Tab Detach, Flagfox, I don't care about cookies, Keepa, Notifier for Gmail, Privacy Badger, To Google Translate, uBlock Origin, Undo Close Tab, Video DownloadHelper and Youtube's Annotations No More), but not even safe mode improved the situation in the least. Windows Defender also hasn't detected any malware and my web surfing habits are as safe as it gets.

The only deeper data I could gather is that the problem manifests with a progressive, rapid surge in CPU and RAM usage; the former, for example, is saturated to its total 16 GB in a matter of about 20 seconds.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 7586 with Windows 11 64 bit; Firefox version is the latest, 100.0, and, by the way, none of the recent updates has improved the situation.

Thanks to anyone who might come up with an educated guess!

I use gmail for both personal and work (business) account. I have both accounts logged in and open on Chrome and Firefox. On the Firefox browser every 5 to 10 minutes the web page shows error 001, and the page wont reload. Only fix is to restart Firefox. However, at the same time the same accounts are not having problems via the Chrome browser.

I have no add-ons or extensions enabled on the Firefox browser. I have already done a Firefox reset, that did not fix the problem. I have done a uninstall and re-install of Firefox, that also did not fix the problem.

I tried different mouses, but it's purely firefox.

My Thunderbird email works perfectly when the PC is connected to a network by WiFi or cable.

Hi! Upgrading to version 100 has made Firefox completely unusable for me. Every time I open it, the "Password required" popup appears, which is normal. However, whether I enter my primary password or click "Cancel", the popup goes to the background and I cannot close it, nor click on anything in the app. In fact, I cannot even close the app except from the upper menu bar (I'm on OSX). See the attached screenshot to get an idea. Please help!!!

I just switched over to Thunderbird after seeing so many people saying it's the gold standard and I am having nothing but headaches with it so far. Hopefully it's just my computer illiteracy that's the problem. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

The first I'm facing is that emails I open (and even respond to) keep automatically marking themselves as unread. It generally happens several seconds after I click on the message.

Another issue is that some messages I click on won't mark as read automatically, unless I click on another email, then back onto the one I want to respond to a second time, at which point it will finally mark itself as read (and occasionally go unread several seconds later).

A third issue is that when I switch from one email account to another, rather than keeping all unread emails open showing, it will switch to show all emails and it will automatically open a random unread email, which I'll then have to manually set back to unread before responding to the email I want to respond to. It also means I have to change the emails shown to all unread again, as well as having to change the date (I like to have newest emails at the top - Thunderbird insists on having them at the bottom). I already have the pin selected, so in theory it should keep settings from one account to the next, but it doesn't.

A fourth issue is that I'm using Conversations so show my replies in the thread in the inbox a la Gmail. Half of the time my replies show and half of the time they don't, so I have to manually check in the sent folder to see if they've actually been replied to.

Pleeeeease help anyone thank you!!!

I woke up yesterday and found Windows telling me I needed to restart my PC to install two new monthly updates: KB5013942 (Windows 10) and KB5013624 (.NET) and the related servicing stack.

[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/t.../may-10-2022-kb5013942-os-builds-19042-1706-19043-1706-and-19044-1706-60b51119-85be-4a34-9e21-8954f6749504]

But after I did, I suddenly found that Thunderbird no longer had the ability to send e-mails -- only receive. The paper airplane icon was greyed out.

After checking some other things, I ran the usual uninstall and the ability to send e-mails was back . . . but it's gone again this morning, and the updates seem to be back. And of course Microsoft doesn't have this as a reported issue yet, either. I hope the problem can be fixed soon -- before my update pause ends.

UPDATE: To clarify the paragraph immediately above . . . this morning, the two Windows updates I'd uninstalled were back -- so, after inputting this question, I re-uninstalled them and re-booted the PC . . . but this time it didn't help. I'm STILL not able to send anything from Thunderbird. For everyone else's sake, I hope I'm the only one who has this problem. But for purposes of getting attention to the issue and getting it FIXED, I hope it's appearing on more and more screens. . . .

I am running Firefox 99.0.1. Lately (probably since the last update) when browsing the web, Firefox will lockup and not be responsive to clicks on hyper links. The issue goes away when I close Firefox and re-open, but after clicking on 3 or four links, it locks up again. MS Edge does not have this problem with the same websites. I did notice in Task Manager that Firefox is opening up 10 processes. Can anyone give some suggestions?
