My Thunderbird(115.8.0) and Windows 11 just don't get along. My Thunderbird has a Menu button in the top right that's just there for it does nothing when I click or right click so I guess no add-ons, calendar, etc. If I hover over it I see "Display the Thunderbird Menu" and that's it. When I open the program it doesn't go to my inbox, it goes to a page that I have to click on "Read Messages" to get to my inbox and in prior versions and I had Windows 10 this never happened. When I go to buttons on the left and click on "Help" and then "About Thunderbird" to check on updates I always get "Unable to check for updates due to internal error" and oh yeah now in Thunderbird I can't copy and paste, I can highlight but when I right click....nothing.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and even tried removing hidden folders, but as of now nothing has worked. I don't know what to think and I'm truly at a loss and it sure looks like I have to find another email program because right now Thunderbird just ain't working. I've been using this program I believe for over 20 years with really zero problems but my luck has apparently run out. Sorry for the mini series. lol

I use the Android beta version of Firefox to open the website as shown in the picture. I've turned on the option Ask me when opening links with external apps in settings. When I clicked the Open APP button in the upper right corner, there was no pop-up window asking me whether to open Quark Browser as expected, but it was downloaded directly. However, when I visit some other websites such as Zhihu, the correct pop-up window appears. What is the problem?

I am encountering a repeated problem making online reservations in another country through Firefox, in which I select the correct date in the displayed calendar, submit the reservation request, and then receive a confirmation for the day following the one I requested. It has now occurred multiple times in the last few months, involving reservations made at hotels, restaurants, and libraries through a variety of platforms (third-party consolidators, directly through the business's own site, etc). I thought at first it might have to do with the time zones--I made the first batch of reservations in the evening US time when it was already the following day in Europe, but it is now happening with reservations made at a time when the dates match. When I contact the businesses, they see no sign of error on their end. I feel like I am losing my mind.

I receive gmail using Thunderbird version 115.7.0

When I open an email from another gmail account with image attachment, it only shows the file name. Example 'image.jpg' but not download or open option for the file.

Problem solved when I changed Message Body from 'Original HTML' to 'Plain Text'.

It's this normal? Is it a problem caused by the sender? Or it there a better way I can handle this at my end?

Is there a way to rename things in the Passwords list? I'm not concerned about MY password or sign-in, but what appears in the list. A name such as "login.live.com" tells me nothing about what site that sign-in will take me to. I'd like to be able to rename it with something that gives me a hint.

I have a fairly long list of saved logins, and visually scan the list at times to get to a supplier or service I need.

I'm using a desktop, Windows 10.

Thanks.

Dear Mozilla Team,

using Thunderbird I encountered a new problem regarding my Microsoft live.com account. I've had problems logging in, I'm asked for a new password. I've seen that this here seems to be the problem (and solution): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

I've then tried to follow the directions given in the article. However, I cannot change my outgoing smtp settings to Oauth2 (it only gives the options "password, normal", "password, encrypted", "Kerberos", "NTLM" and "No Authentification").

Now, I am not asked for new login data, but my mails do not appear either. It appears, that there is now no successful connection to the server (it keeps getting stuck contacting the host and sending login data; see image attached - in german).

Is there any fix to this?

Most of my email message filters do not run automatically but will run correctly manually. I am running Thunderbird 115.8.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10. I have 65 filters defined.

I have tried repairing the folders. I have even deleted the old folders and created a new folder. I deleted and recreated all of the .msf files. I have insured that the filer criteria is defined correctly (i.e. multiple condition are "match any", "contains", etc). These efforts have not corrected the problem.

This problem has been around for quite some time. Is there a plan to correct the problem or provide a newer version of message filters that works correctly.

Below is a copy of one of the Filter Log entries of an automatic filter failure. I have included the log entry of the filer being run manually following the failure entry. I have included a screenshot of the pertinent rule:

Hi,

Since about two days ago firefox on both my PC and laptop has been trying to connect to a random website called ponf.linkedin.com that I have no idea where it came out of.

I have no clue why this was but I reset both browsers on both devices + reinstalled windows 11 on my main PC and it only continues happening on my PC now, i've managed to replicate the behaviour by resetting the browser and everytime that happens firefox attempts to connect to this website even though bitdefender blocks it and nothing comes up, no popup or anything as if its just in the shadows.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be and what I should do? any help is appreciated thanks.

My Firefox browser is broken, I can open Firefox but I can not do anything it will not respond, clicking anywhere prompts a "Firefox is not responding" error message, I was able to "refresh" Firefox once with zero results, I have tried uninstalling Firefox yet it will not uninstall the uninstallation window comes up yet no matter how long it sits open nothing happens, I have tried reinstalling Firefox with no results, the installation freezes just before completing and says "Firefox could not be installed". I have been using Firefox as my primary browser for a long time but I am unable to use it in any way now. All other browsers are working fine no issues but I do prefer Firefox and would like to continue to do so. What do you suggest?

I'm a new Thunderbird user with v115.7.0 on Windows 11, using a mailbox.org account.

Under Account Settings/Copies and Folders/Message Archives/Keep message archives in: I am using the Other setting to point to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive. Under Archive Options I am using Single Folder and "Keep existing folder structure of archived messages". The example in the options window shows an Archives folder with an Inbox subfolder. However, this doesn't happen.

Messages archived from my Inbox go to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive/ Messages archived from Inbox/Subfolder go to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive/Subfolder Messages archived from my Sent items go to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive/Sent

So of the above, only Sent items go to the correct folder. For anything from the Inbox, the Inbox folder itself is not replicated as per the example on the options page. Can this be corrected?
