Hi, I would like to know how to remove the sender's email address from the "from"/"correspondents" field. So i.e. instead of "GOG.COM <newsletters@something.com>" I want to see just "GOG.COM" like it was in the previous version (this appeared today after auto-updating to Thunderbird nebula or whatever it's called now).

This change make it much less readable and cluttered and I really, really don't like it.

This must have been posted about before but I couldn't find anything. And in fact I asked here over a year ago and no one replied. Odd if I'm the only one with this issue.

For a year and few months now, I think since the recipient dropdown started showing grey on some listed entries and white for others, thunderbird seems to be often selecting contacts based on some weird criteria that doesn't work well at all.

For example if I type in Julie, yes I see Julie down the suggested list at position 3 or 4, but positions 1 2 3 seem to be completely random selections from my contacts. Since this change happened I've been trying to be super careful with trusting the position 1 offering, which used to almost always be what I was after, but yesterday I sent and email to the wrong person because I didn't check.

If this is supposed to be some great new feature of tbird (which in itself is great), can someone tell me how to turn if off?

When I open Thunderbird (Mozilla), my files are not current. In other words, the most recent emails, probably since the last time I used Thunderbird, in my file folders are missing. I have tried changing the server settings but I think they are correct. Please be patient with me, I am unfamiliar with all the terminology, etc. Also, when I first enter Thunderbird, it does not recognize my password. A window opens with the message "Login to server imap.postoffice.net with username john.fn@usa.net failed." That message also appears when I click on Get Messages. Thanks for any help.

Hallo,

seit neustem werden ich nach einem Benutzername und Passwort gefragt wenn ich die Passwörter der einzelnen E-Mail-Konten abfragen möchte. Ich habe aber keinen Benutzername oder Passwort vergeben. Wie komme ich denn jetzt an die Passwörter. Bisher wurde ich nur gefragt ob ich mir sicher bin das mir die Passwörter angezeigt werden sollen. Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe

Hello, I have an issue with installing other extensions. Every time I have been trying lately it keeps prompting me to check my internet connection. I have checked it, it is fine, going strong, supporting constant gaming with no lags or spikes, I have no VPN active when trying to install. Are extensions no longer supported by newest mozilla version or something? It is the only browser with this issue and I will switch the main browser if I cannot get extensions to make life easier.

Hello,

My Firefox keeps crashing when i try using GMail in Private Browsing. That is, 5 out of 10 times the browser crashes or becomes unusable.

I took my time to study it and this is what i know:

I can use the Private Browsing on other sites and it will work very well. Even on gmail.com, the Private Browsing works only when i don't type username or password of the GMail account. That is, the Private Browsing won't freeze when i choose a Google account from the highlighted accounts saved on the browser.

However, the browser freezes when i try typing a user name or password. I've tried typing the username very fast but the browser froze at the password section.

When the browser freezes, it isn't limited to the Private Browsing mode alone but the entire browser. I will be forced to shut down the browser via Task Manager. I'm using Firefox v131.0.2 (64-bit) which is the latest version as at this writing.

But i've also experienced this same issue with previous versions of Firefox, but it seems like the issue keeps getting worse with each update.

Back then, the browser freezes once in a while but now it freezes several times in a single day, which can be very very frustrating and super annoying (on blue days).

Please, I need a solution. It's just too much.

Hi..any help is appreciated. Recently having this issue when using Firefox browser, cannot sign into youtube account and anything related to Google. Received a message stated "We've detected a problem with your cookie settings." I had tried clear data, uninstall and reinstalled firefox but issue still there. Anyone having this issue or any solution to help?

Thanks Jeff

I only opened 5 pages (fixed tabs), and only enabled two plug-ins, Proxy SwitchyOmega and AdGuard AdBlocker. The browser was always open, and the pages were static, and nothing was playing. The strange thing is that it didn't take up much memory at the beginning, but it took up more and more memory over time. Today the system got stuck and couldn't respond (it might be that the system used virtual memory).

I used the browser's task manager, which showed that the Shared Web Process memory of several pages was very high, some as high as 4G, and the GPU memory was also higher than before.

I think this is very strange. Why does the memory usage increase exponentially after the webpage has been there for a while?

My settings and usage habits have basically not changed. I didn't have this problem before, but it has appeared in the past six months. I have updated many versions, but the problem still exists. I have always used Firefox. If it continues like this, I will be very disappointed and have to make changes.

Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) no longer allows Firefox. When I try to execute the login function on the PG&E.com website, it says Firefox browser not supported. I was told to use Chrome Mask, but I couldn't get this to work either. Maybe I don't know how to use Chrome Mask. Would somebody try to install Chrome Mask and log into pg&e.com, click on the login box and put in some fake username and password. Then tell me if they could make it work.

I use google search engine. Google is blocking my email account and wants personal identifying info to unblock. One solution recommended is to have my mail data transferred elsewhere. I want to use Thunderbird for my mail. On Thunderbird's download page for Windows 7, an error 404 comes up. Where is the download page? Thanks.

The Messaging Co says that after changing my password with them I need to "make sure you update your password in any email application you are using". does that mean in Thunderbird? I can't remember any Thunderbird password, only Firefox. And I can't access anywhere where I can change it without having the original. Any ideas please. And does it mean that the password has to be the same for both Messaging Co and Thunderbird. Thanks

I like to keep important emails. I've created a bunch of folders to put them in but it says my mailbox is full. I don't have any new emails. So do we have a limit of how many emails we can keep even if they're in folders? Thanks

I am having problems signing into Mozilla Firefox with my password. How do you reset my password? I cannot get in my accounts without sign in to Firefox.

Thank you,

I have difficulty with a number of sites when trying to login. An example - yesterday I was unable to login to my account on STARZ immediately after changing my password. I switched to Chrome and I was able to complete the process. On STARZ it just acted like I had not entered my username and password. On vistana.com, when I initially put in the URL, I see a message box flash, then I get a blank window. Again, it works fine with Chrome.

Ideas? Ways to track what is going on? Any ideas appreciated! I would like to continue using Firefox, but it is very frustrating to have these login issues.

TIA, Ken

I need to revert to the prior version - my Firefox updated automatically and now there's a bunch of stuff that make using it very hard for me.

Background - I have a TBI that limits my ability to process input. This new version has dropdowns on tabs that are useless and extraneous and make it hard for me to find what I need. I want the old version back so I don't get confused.

I got one response to my prior inquiry with some words and stuff that didn't make sense and when I tried to follow the "directions" what the response said would happen didn't. I tried to restart the search for how to fix this so I can function but it's been ignored for 5 days now.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GO BACK TO THE PRIOR VERSION which was working just fine PLEASE???

As the subject states: Since installing Thunderbird - 128.3.1esr (64-bit) - the app constantly crashes when running but not actively in use on Win11 Pro 23H222631.4317. Crashes do NOT appear to happen when using the app, tho it has crashed when removing duplicates from "local folders" top level, or conduction a "compress". Quite a few of my crash reports have been submitted.

Any ideas as to why?

I am trying to use my Gmail account on Thunderbird for Android app, and Google blocked the OAuth client that it uses for authentication since it is currently not yet allowlisted for use on accounts protected by Advanced Protection Program unless the desktop app.

Technically I could disable it temporarily until the app gets into stable release or use the desktop app, but I'll chime in Mozilla Connect instead on that.
