Since somewhere last autumn, when I download any file from any website, the browser vanishes without any warning on the moment I navigate to the destination folder.

I maintain 2 websites (Joomla), and last week both required uploading a few files in Phoca Download to make them available to members. Now also on this upload the browser was completely gone when I navigated to the folder where I kept the fles.

I use Firefox since about 1995. I looked in about:Crash (first time ever), there were to reports, both unsubmitted: 69990c58-1a5c-40a3-9141-666607416103 6/22/2020, 1:23 AM e6f0688e-73e4-4c19-8e0a-01ec3c28e996 2/22/2019, 4:09 PM I have submitted them both now.

Thunderbird not checking for new messages at startup is a minor nuisance and not critical. I use Thunderbird 68.10.0 in Linux Ubuntu. After reviewing the various suggestions in https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1270066 the unexpected behavior still persists.

I'd like to humbly suggest that the various suggestions in https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1270066 are all guesses on the perspective individual circumstances. After trying those suggestions, I might as well try stomping twice & doing a twirly (Now I'm being silly), but it would be guess work with no results.

What is needed is a clear understanding of the inner workings that causes this and to RECOGNIZE IT AS A BUG. It maybe a minor nuisance rather than a critical priority, but it seems that this symptom is widespread. It's a minor BUG.

Thunderbird is suddenly unable to send outgoing emails through Suddenlink. "An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: Service not available."

Since I cannot find a way to send this message to the Thunderbird crew, I am hoping that whoever receives this at Firefox will forward it to the appropriate person. Thunderbird suddenly produces the following error message for every outgoing email I try to send. The message is: "An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: Service not available." All incoming emails come through with absolutely no issues. The outgoing emails are the problem. I'm assuming this outgoing email issue is due to a bug in the latest version of Thunderbird and can be fixed quickly. My Thunderbird updated a day or two ago and the client worked fine until this afternoon. Thank you. Laurie Selwyn (LNBG@suddenlink.net)

After update from 68 to 78.8 my Firefox do not load web pages. It still loads local files (file://) and LAN sites (http://192.168.x.y/). But on attempt to load something like Google it shows just empty page and Network console shows zero bytes download (see image attached). I tried to reinstall it, removed ~/.mozilla, network.dns.disablePrefetch=true, network.dns.disableIPv6=true. Nothing of that helped. Chromium on the same machine works fine.

I noticed ever since I updated to FF ver 85 I started seeing screen tearing when scrolling. This is most noticeable when scrolling through a list of videos or pictures. This only happens on Fire Fox. I do not experience this problem on Chrome. I have already disabled Hardware Acceleration. Made no difference. I'm currently on FF version 86.

Anything else I can try to resolve this issue?

So, I had a little message at the bottom of the browser that said Firefox was running a little slow and that I could fix that problem by clicking the "Refresh Firefox" link. I did, and now I"m finding that I have to input my passwords again and in my search engine, now I'm getting a lot of Russian links for my searches. There is a lot of questionable sites and actions going on now. Did I just open a can of worms by hitting the "Refresh" link?

I am new to Thunderbird. I created an email list. When I send using this list, I get one notification from postmaster@outlook.com that there is an undeliverable email sent to someone who's not on the list.

It states: "mtaproxy103.free.mail.ir2.yahoo.com rejected your message to the following email addresses:

mdexc@yahoo.co.uk Your message couldn't be delivered. When Office 365 tried to send the message, the external email server returned the error below. This is probably due to a problem or policy setting on the recipient's email system."

I'm at a loss. I've deleted the list and created a new one but get the same results. I don't have Office 365. It was offered on the computer when I first purchased it, but I deleted the bloatware. I tried to send an email to the mysterious mdexc@yahoo.co.uk but it is inactive. Any assistance would be appreciate. Thanks.

Recently, I think it was yesterday when I updated FireFox developer to 88.0b2 (64bit) on my OS Windows 10 Pro (x64) 22H2 19042.870.

Firstly I noticed "take screenshot" option dissapeared from "3 dots" on the URL bar. Secondly, the "paste" (right click or CTRL + V) stopped working.

I cannot paste text neither from my Notepad or some Text Editor as usuall to some input field or textarea on some Website.

I can copy text from some input field of an Website, but cannot paste the text inside it from a Windows Explorer or whatever.

What is that wrong with FireFox stable/unstable versions?

I've had problems on "normal" FireFox, now I got them either on "developer". I really like this browser, but more and more it seems I would need to switch to some other just because.

Bear with me there's a bit of a story.

One of the apps I most use is MightyText. It allows me to send texts from my desktop computer's web browser. When FireFox automatically updated to the newest version, something didn't work right and MightyText stopped being able to connect.

My workaround was to use System Restore to go back in time so to speak. But FireFox is pretty aggressive with their updates, and eventually that stopped being a work around.

I tried to install an older version of FireFox manually but I couldn't ever get my profile to work right.

So, I've landed somewhere where FireFox has updated to the latest version, AND MightyText works just fine.

But now the problem is I cannot use any of my add-ons. Actually, I can re-fresh FireFox, and start it without any add ons. I can add all my add ons and everything works great, but if I restart my computer, FireFox will not connect to the internet (the wheel just spins) until I refresh again and wipe out all the add-ons. After doing so, all my tabs are restored, all my saved passwords, etc--and I can add back the add-ons and they will work until FireFox Crashes or I restart the computer, but then FF won't connect to the internet and around and around we go.

What's up?

My Thunderbird program stopped downloading messages, last Saturday. It has done this 3 or 4 times in the last couple years...usually, I mess with it, taking out or changing password, deleting messages (I had 60,000) and sometimes it just starts working again on it's own. I wondered if it was too many messages,may have corrupted the program. It did it, on the update before last, but I got it going again, this has been the longest I couldn't get it working.

It says, contacting server, logging in, then says it can't log into the server, try again later. Is there a way, I can save my messages/profile, uninstall Thunderbird, and reinstall it? I have message all the way back to 2012, some very dear to me, that I don't want to lose...
