First noticed when listening to music on YouTube while playing a game: After a few songs, video would stop, shortly followed by audio (Every few minutes it might play less than a second of audio). Somewhere along the line any interaction with YT itself or even the tab stop working. All other tabs work fine.

Firefox doesn't ever crash, and I can't see anything weird when using a process viewer (I'm not too familiar with Linux diagnostic tools).

So far I've tried:

  • Updating Firefox
  • Disabling Extensions
  • Clearing cache
  • Uninstall Firefox
  • Multiple Proton games through Steam
  • Game running through Wine
  • Updated OS

I've tested with Chrome, which had no issues.

I don't recall messing with anything at the time (I did change some settings in firefox, but I think that was a few days before the issue started).

When I select emails to delete (move to Trash) Thunderbird deletes them BUT THEN automatically selects the next email in the list. If I don't notice that, and deselect it, that email gets deleted with the next batch. I've lost several emails this way. So, how do I get Thunderbird to stop selecting the next email after it deletes the ones that I selected. Nothing should be selected after an email is deleted. I don't see anything in the settings menu to do this. If this is a default feature, it's pretty dangerous and should be changed.

I have moved my entire hard disk to a new computer and upgraded to Windows 11. My professional consult did it actually, I don' know how. But he moved the disk to the new computer and cloned its content to the new hard disk. In my address book all folders are empty, all. When creating a new mail, the addresses are all there so I can send emails to the people I want, even to groups. When creating a new sending list I can do so by typing the desired persons and their addresses will show. So all contacts are somewhere on the computer. But the folders are empty, so I can't drag and drop contacts to create a sending list. I can create new contacts and place them in any of the folders, but that will probably f-k up things. I'd be glad if it is possible to restore my address book. I realized that there are quit a lot of contacts that are obsolete, which I want to delete. I'm not native English speaking so forgive me if I got some terminology wrong.

I do not know why but since yesterday I don't have the Orange Box in my Thunderbird home page to create a new message. I have to go into account and click on new message ( with a pen icon ). How do I get the orange box back. I have the orange area in the other pages like addresses, calendar, and the like, but not for new messages. How could I get it back because I installed a new copy of Thunderbird but it did not work. Thank you.

So I recently reinstalled windows and noticed that if I select the option that asks me each time where a file should be saved before downloading it, the browser appears to begin downloading the file (I can see the .part file in the default folder) but the window that actually allows me to browse for a location in windows explorer never shows up and thus, I am not able to actually download the file. However, if I select the "pick a folder and everything will download to that folder" option, it downloads just fine. I'm wondering if there was a way to reinstall firefox but keep all if not most of my settings and tabs etc.

I want to install Thunderbird on my new computer (Windows 11) from my old (Windows 10). But I cannot open the downloaded version of Thunderbird - it keeps saying there is no profile. Of course there is no profile before I have installed it! I de-installed and re-installed the Thunderbird program, but it keeps saying the same thing. How can I open Thunderbird to install the profile?

Heya,

I am the maintainer of the British Dictionary.

For one year that I have been working in the "shadows" on my version of US+Canada+Australian, to be released on 1-JAN-2026.

Can I add your list of proper names (~5000 words) to my dictionaries and release the dictionaries as LGPL?

It seems as thought the Thunderbird "Archive" folder is actually reflecting my Gmail "All Mail" folder (which includes mail w/o regard to labels). However, is the Archive folder duplicating these emails on my PC, i.e. is there a copy of each Inbox email, etc? This would double the size it takes up on my PC. Or is it simply acting like the "All Mail" folder online - reflecting all emails.
