Question about Thunderbird 115.4.1 and Gmail. In the "All Mail" folder... I delete messages - but only to see them still there the next day. I tried empty trash as well as compact folder and expunge - but I clearly am doing something wrong. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and help me?! I also tried both moving to trash folder in different directory as well as "delete immediately" in Account settings.

I have used Thunderbird for a long time to get away from all the bells and whistles that bloat other programs and now threatens the same for thunderbird! All I want is to be able to receive, store, and print e-mails or critical parts of them. Thunderbird has now got to the point I can only see a part of the email at the bottom of the screen. If try to select a portion of it, it downloads or prints all of it with a complete page of useless data about the source! Fortunately I can use Fineprint to clean it up, but that shouldn't be necessary. I contribute occasionally since I value your efforts, but I am beginning too question continued use that isn't any better than all the others.

I can't access my online account from Firefox. I get the following message:

Our online banking system is currently unavailable. Please try again later. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

I can't watch YouTube videos because it says I'm using ad blockers (I disabled the ad blockers in Firefox that I didn't know had been activated, but it still won't let me watch anything but my channel.)

I can access my online account from Safari with no problems or messages.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I have reinstalled fresh firefox for like the 5th time now. It continues to not load web site pages completely. One other example, I log in to yahoo mail the page loads. I then click on the mail icon to go to the mail and NOTHING happens.

This is getting old. It only happens with firefox and not MS Edge.

How can I set Thunderbird 115.4.2 (64-bit) to have html composition after a normal click on "+New"?

My copy of Thunderbird 115.4.2 (64-bit) DOES NOT offer in settings-> Composition a "Compose in HTML" choice. (It does have an HTML Style setting.)

I can only compose in HTML by ditzing around with special "hold shift" when clicking on the +New button.

I have used Firefox on many systems - MacOS, Linux, Winblows and mainly Android Cellphone.

"about:config" on a Cellphone has never worked, never worked consistently, or mainly been confused with Desktop Firefox :P

Hello?!? The future is mobile not stationary desktops  :P But I digress. Please dont misunderstand me - I love FF - but when I want "about:config" on A Cellphone - I WANT IT to actually work on a freaking cellphone  :P

Is the software config too much for International Mozilla to understand? Or has Mozilla had way to much input from everyone on the planet thus watering down an otherwise great browser?

Kind of rhetorical - I know it will never be fixed in favor of locking in a dieing desktop setup  :P
