A couple of weeks ago the scroll wheel on my Logitech mouse stopped working with Firefox. It works fine on all other applications on my computer but will not work on any web page or any Firefox menu. I am not using XMBC. I updated to Firefox 119.0.1 this morning and it didn't make any difference.

I check 7 different email accounts. Now when I check them and click on an email the whole section will go to the top or the bottom, Then I need to scroll down or scroll up to get back to the new emails. And different email accounts do different things. I use Windows 11 - 64 bit. I've really liked Thunderbird over the years, have contributed so I hope these flaws gets fixed. It's just so problematic to use it now. I don't have the time to spend hours searching through threads to find if it's even fixable.

I have a client that is responsible for sending emails to all members of a board of directors on a timely manner. All members are on Gmail. The client is also on Gmail. She has created a list in Outlook to send a monthly document. Sends it to the list. Google refuses to execute and does not notify until a day or so later. Error msg says the bulk mailing rule offended.(Rule says it comes into effect when 2500 emails sent but balks at a list of 40...go figure) The solution I am looking for would send to the list members one at a time 10 seconds apart sidestepping the Google Bulk email bulk mailing rule. Is there a way to script and call from an email list?

I use dark mode (Windows 10 Pro, Thunderbird 115.4.2 (64-bit)). Fresh installation, fresh profile. When I reply to some emails, the reply text is not visible. The examples I saw were with a light (white?) background, but I'm not sure if it also happens with other backgrounds. But it's not all white backgrounds either, some emails with a light background I can reply to just fine.

The reply area can be dark with a dark grey font (slightly different color), or it can be white with a white font. In both cases, obviously the text I type is not readable.

Any idea how to fix this?

Where can I get the bug fix for email jumping in the preview window? I understand that the fix has been created and tested. I downloaded what I think is the daily build, but, When I attempt to install it, I am told that I require windows 10. This is getting very aggravating. What took an hour before the upgrade now takes at least three hours for reading my email.

Firefox browser problem. When dragging the mouse over text on a webpage to select text I want to copy, some of the selected text and an area of webpage adjacent to the text I'm trying to select is blocked by a box that automatically appears. Sometimes it whites-out a box-shape but usually it's blacks-out. This blocks that part of the page and some of the text I'm trying to select while I'm dragging my mouse and I can't see the mouse while I'm trying to select text within that box. What did I do to cause this and can I change something to make it stop? This is only when using Firefox and I didn't have this issue until October 2023.

Hi, I noticed about a week ago that when I would have Firefox windows open on more than 3 of my displays, the newest window, when maximized, would appear with white bars. This does not occur when Windowed or when troubleshoot mode is on. I have attached a photo of the error (suggestions omitted for my own privacy). Bugged window does not respond in this state and cursor does not blink etc. Other Firefox windows work fine. I'm running a custom color scheme, Dark Reader for Firefox, and AdBlock for Firefox. Issue does not occur with Chrome or Edge, which have the same, if not more extensions loaded. Glitch presented itself near the beginning of November.

Please help!

I'll check on this every once in a while, and am willing to run tests.

Firefox for Android is constantly hanging on my Xiaomi MI9 (Android 11). Let's say I open the Firefox, browsing some time, then open another tab and it's hanging. I had to force stop it and restart. This is happening every day multiple times per day. I also noticed that "Share" menu doesn't load anything, neither my devices nor applications, if the Firefox is about to start hanging. If I open any link in a new tab after I see that I cannot share the current page - it will be hanging. It also often starts hanging when I click the URL bar, when I try to copy the URL of the current page. I cannot willingly reproduce the issue. Sometimes it just works great no matter how much I was browsing and how many apps I switched. Sometimes it starts hanging very close after loading the browser. The very usual pattern is the following: I open the browser, start searching something, like "flight tickets", go to some site, and then open any link from this site in a new tab. And it starts hanging. This happens let's say 5-10 times per day. Sometimes it happens every time repeatedly, one after another. But sometimes not. I'm using latest version of Firefox from Play store.

I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks now. When I go to certain websites (that work on Every other browser I use) I get the following error:


Network Protocol Error

An error occurred during a connection to www.diamondtoolstore.com.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the network protocol was detected.

   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.


It happens with Lowes & Home Depot - two sites I use every day for work. Now I have to use Chrome or Microsoft Edge -YUCK. I went to your help page and tried everything I could find that may help with this issue and nothing has helped. I see that there are a LOT of other people having the problem as well...Can you please fix it.

When writing an email if I use the 'Insert>image' menu route the whole thunderbird app freezes (using win10, fully updated). However, if I manually copy and paste to insert an image via the clipboard, it seems to take OK. So have a workaround now, but worry the program route is failing. Am I missing a setting somewhere (I must say I have experienced glitches* since updating to the newest supernova version - 115 - and wishing I'd just stayed with the older previous version a while longer.

  • Other glitch is the system is endlessly demanding passwords for my hotmail accounts when checking email (not so for the yahoo or gmail accounts). Very frustrating and time consuming.

Thanks for any advice Ken Dutton
