Running 98.02, Windows 10. Firefox keeps opening without all my tabs and other personalized information. Just a single tab or maybe 2 that have nothing to do with me. If I go to about:profiles, one of the profiles listed will (so far) have my lost information. When I recovered the first time, I quickly created a profile if the current, good configuration. However, now when the problem recurs and I go back to that profile I created, Firefox is once again a single tab of a URL I've never seen. I'm afraid I will lose everything!

BTW the first symptom was that when I clicked on a link in email (Outlook 2021), the link opened in a new Firefox window, not a new tab of the current window. This, despite telling Firefox not to do that in Settings and checking about:configuration to make sure it would not occur.

Hi

Is it possible to use some managment tool in corporate network of Thunderbird Clients? We have clients in our company deployed with one version when reinstalling workstations. As Thunderbird can be set so that it does not download the update, it is still in a state where at least it asks and the user clicks on it. The question is that is it possible to do this in some software or update center??? The point ist we dont have the control over the clients updates. We wont to release these updates for the whole company when we agree not when the users do so by accident. What often happens to us, the versions are then different and we would like to have it under control.

Imagine we replace 100 workstations a year. The version is the same. Time will pass and in 3 months it will be a mess. Is there any way to keep it in order ??? Tips on how to keep one version in a large network and then do a massive update on 100+ workstations.

This mess of various versions then causes a problem for users with different views and unnecessary problems in managing clients for administrators in our company. When we know that version 80 is good and then that 85 is good again or does not cause any problem in our environment after the tests. Then we will deploy it for everyone.

Thank you for your help Lubomir

Apparently since version 91, I have an issue with Virtual Folders.

Current version is 91.3.0

In my "Sent" virtual folder, messages sent by Gmail do not appear in the overview list.

I tried to clarify the issue: - the messages sent through my Gmail accounts do not appear in the summary list, but they appear in the detailed folders - this problem concerns all my Gmail accounts and no other accounts (laposte.net, me.com). - this problem only concerns the SENT virtual folder, not the other virtual folders - I can make all the messages sent to reappear correctly, by going to the properties of the virtual folder, then "choose" and ticking the right folders. But when I quit Thunderbird and come back, the messages no longer appear (and the checkmarks for those folders have disappeared). - I arrive at the same result by deleting in the data of Thunderbird the folder "smart mailboxes" and the file "VirtualFolders.dat": at the first launch everything works, at the second one again, the unified view for the Gmail accounts is lost (and Gmail mailboxes do not appear in the VirtualFolders.dat file, section Sent ". They appear in all other sections.) - I deleted and recreated one of my Gmail accounts, without success.

Thanks in advance for your help. Jean-Pierre

Whenever I configure in Thunderbird, OAuh2.0 with google, I get the pop up with prefilled account name as soon as starting up or synchronizing, but as soon as I click anything or type anything in the google box, the prefilled name disappears.

Refilling it does not work either, the page / box, just reloads and the (pre)filled name is gone. Logging in at the same time in a web-browser and staying logged in, does not work either. Switching on or off my VPN does not work either, (this has caused major problems in the past, to access my accounts anyway).

Only using "normal password" and the setting "allow unsecured apps" in Google, works as work around However Google is ending the support for this option in a month or so.

I have seen multiple (old) posts about this, but not found the one where my issue of a reloading page without prefilled name occurs..

Please advice, yeah stop using google hehe, no but seriously... wtf.

Win10 Thunderbird 91.8.1 64 bits

I know I asked this before but sorry i forgot the answer plus i am on a difference machine is there a way to remove it from the bottom right of the status bar. Thanks

When I type in the main firefox pane I sometimes get the search bar popping, cf the discussions 4 years ago. No idea why, I haven't added any addons. Maddening. It's not doing it now or i couldn't have sent this.

Hello,

My remote server supports POP only and the disk space is filling up. So, I wanted Thunderbird to download all emails from all times to the local disk.

But it is downloading only few days and not all mails. Tools >> Account settings >>Synchronization & Storage option is not available to me.

Is there any add-on to do the job or some way to activate the Synchronization & Storage option?

Is there any kind soul to help me out?

In anticipation, Thanks, Gaurab

hoi medewerkers van Thunderbird willen jullie er voor zorgen dat je mailtje op kan verzenden op dat datum op de mail box van Mozilla Thunderbird dus kan de verzenden plannen AUB willen jullie daar voor zorgen en het regelen dat het net zo kan als in gelogd ben bij Gmail als je in de bijlage kijkt kan je zien wat ik bedoel de bijlage staat hier boven of hier onder en wat ik ook wil bij de mail box van Mozilla al je op de bijlage klikt kan je het nog beter zien

Thunderbird WIndows - auto-installed update 91.8.1 this morning, Apr.28th.

Incoming emails stopped showing up in the inboxes in all three accounts I have set up.

Can I unroll the update? 91.8.0 was working fine. I use Thunderbird for work - need a solution urgently.

Thanks in advance! Cyril

<tools> <Clear recent history> asks whether I want to delete Browsing history cookies cache

I have 7800 entries in cache. Are these "scratch" or "temporary" files or are these files I have kept in folders over a few decades? I want to keep the messages that I put in folders.

Is Browsing history just links to Firefox I clicked on inside messages?

I receive emails addressed to many different eddresses which have been sent to me via a remailer. The To: function still shows the original eddress. I want any emails originally addressed to two specific eddresses to be forwarded to another eddress, one that will be read on an iPad. Is this possible?

Why is this Thunderbird version so confusing? Doesn't print, can't reply, etc w/o having this whole bunch of tech headers at beginning. What happened to the regular email, print, text, reply features.

Left Outlook due to it's craziness and deciding what to put as spam and in archive vs myself so again thought I'd try Thunderbird as it was a good email program. Now I see why it isn't listed any longer as a good free email program. I have 2 email programs I pay for - Protonmail VPN and Mailfence Entry level. Still learning how to have more than1 email address to use.

Thunderbird used to be very simple, user friendly, and quick. Now it's a mess even when trying to just reply to someeone's email. I get all these 'headers' first and when I select print, I get all this header garbage which wastes tons of paper. Can't find a way around it.

Please help or I'm going to have to dump thunderbird until it gets itself fixed!

Recently pdf files I download are getting saved in my Downloads folder automatically. They are also opened in Adobe Reader as specified in settings. I don't know what version this started with but it didn't always happen. I don't want these files filling up my Downloads folder so how can I prevent this?

Hi I sent an email with responses to questions changed to red text. However, when it arrived, all text was back to black. - Even shows black in my sent folder, which is when I realised there was an issue.

How do I solve this?

Windows 10 21H1 TB 91.8.1 32-bit

I love TB, but this is an issue, as is not being able to send images within an email - they always disappear when email sent. I have learnt to get round this by always pasting image into a Word doc & then attaching that, but it's a bit long winded

Any suggestions gratefully received Thanks

When I send an e-mail from my virgin.net account it is sent again from a g-mail account, so the recipient gets it twice. I can't see anything in settings that can explain this.
