Hi there. I just now rebooted my Mac system after a crash. Thunderbird was the first application that I opened. However, even before opening Thunderbird, it automatically opened my Chrome web browser with an appeal to "help keep Thunderbird alive." (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/115.0/appeal/) Unfortunately, what this did to me was to lose my ability to restore all my previously open windows and tabs from my pre-crash Chrome session. I was able to recover a few from "recently closed" in the History tab. But dozens upon dozens of other, older windows and tabs are now completely irrecoverable. This, as you can imagine, is not a happy thing.

When I open Thunderbird, I want to open Thunderbird. *NOT* my web browser. I've had occasional, similar issues in the past from other products, but I never expected to run into such behavior from a Mozilla product. Please change your practices so that this doesn't happen again. Thank you kindly.

On all windows in Firefox, both normal and private, I get what looks like brushstrokes over the text. Generally they disappear when I move the cursor, but they also appear and disappear without mouse moves. I have the same extensions running on other PC's but don't get this happening, only on this newly-built PC. Using Windows 11 version 22H2, Firefox ESR 115.4.0 64-bit. In the sample the brushstroke shows about 80 % down the page. It disappeared after about 30 seconds, and other appeared later. While writing this, the same kind of thing was happening on this page. Extensions Ecosia and Ghostery.

'Recently updated to TB Ver 115.2.2 and certain older emails won't open(13:20-15:04)? Newer email do open(16:09)...? Total of 7 emails can't be viewed...? Peculiar that the attached screenshot shows 15:04 email time stamp, but the header shows 09:06?

When I'm composing a longish email message, I often suspend that task temporarily, to work on some other task. [See uploaded image of screenshot]

I'm guessing that each entry within the draft message holds the content of the message at the time it was suspended.

Is that the case?

Thanks for your help. SweetTasha (Phil)

Dear Mozilla

I wrote to you earlier today about a problem i am having with themes.I change themes quite frequently and have a lot of them on my list. After opening and closing the browser once or twice the list of themes no longer shows what each theme looks like. I reset Firefox and the image of each theme reappears. It's quite tedious as i said to have to do this once or twice a day. Is this problem occurring because i have too many themes on the list?. I have turned off all other extensions and the same problem keeps happening. I don't know what to do.

/edit: Please put a space after periods as there were unintended links.

When I compose a Twitter reply (desktop) text becomes garbled. If I hit 'Enter' message disappears. It I hit 'Shift' and Enter, cursor returns to beginning of sentence. Apostrophes don't render, at times.

It's as if a 1978 version of a word processor, you can type, but nothing else

Other posts, other websites work beautifully. v119.0, but has done this on every version, every configuration

Attached is me pasting ' issues with Twitter on Firefox ' into compose No idea

Thanks in advance

Now I have another question -- how does one get rid of a pc shot dead to eradicate Firefox?

Anyone? Huh, No? Then I guess I am 100% correct in shooting the damned thing and going off the grid to never deal with Mozilla again. Hope you all get fire-ants in your pants!

My folders have disappeared. They are there when I first open TBird, but immediately vanish. I have checked ALL in view, but if I uncheck then recheck, nothing changes.

just happened today....only the AARP website is not using my browser Zoom setting of 120% it is using browser Zoom setting of 160% which is too large....I reset it on each page but it wont stay at my browser Zoom setting of 120% this happened a year or so ago....cant remember the solution

Firefox starts but when I type into the search box nothing happens. My RoboForm link does not work and neither do the bookmarks. I have had to resort to using Edge to get onto the internet. Jim Klein

I downloaded the new Thunderbird version today and my mail folders are gone. Clicking on the mail icon does nothing. I've checked view-all folders. Nothing. It's automatically downloading email, but I can't see what it's downloaded. Luckily, I can still get into my address book. Also, luckily, I have web access to my six accounts, but I have to check each separately. Help!

After the update I see the three windows, (folders, messages and content) but they are empty. When I select all folders in view I can see my folders, but the messages and content windows remain empty. It does receive messages as I see the number of messages increase. Has the update changed the view settings or is it more serious? I don't dare to change my profile as I have thousands of messages in hunders of folders that I like to keep. I am using windows 10.
