I have been running Thunderbird for many years, currently on a Windows 10 PC, and always been pleased with its performance. Using it to monitor 5 email accounts, each on a separate folder. Recently I noticed that on three of the accounts extra folders are appearing named inbox-1, inbox-2, inbox-3... then inbox-5 appeared today. There is also inbox.msf.compact-backup and a couple of nstmp folders. They contain copies of all emails in the main inbox over differing periods but going back to 2016 when it was first loaded.

I assume this is something to do with compacting but why has it started it doing now and how do I get rid of these folders which are, presumably, duplicating all my messages and taking up disk space.

Regards,

   Tad O~

I use a program called Beat Buddy Manager Online (https://bbmo.singularsound.com/) Currently, it does not work in my preferred browser (Firefox).

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

Thanks,

Hello,

today I have installed new OS and new Firefox.

Because I was syncing everything I thought after login everything will be same as before.

Before reinstaling OS I didnt export anything from Firefox. Now I have no bookmarks, no history, add-ons.

I do keep Lockwise on my iPhone and it connected somehow with my desktop browser so I have passwords in my browser now (thank god for that - otherwise I have no clue how they got there).

Is there a way I can restore Firefox (bookmarks and add-ons) to how it was yesterday?

I dont have firefox install elsewhere, just on my desktop.

Thanks a lot for help

I've been using Android/google messages on web (messages.google.com/web) for years with Firefox with no issues. Starting today, the page will show the logo for about 10-20 seconds, then loads a blank page. I've tried unpairing, restarting my computer and phone, and restarting firefox. Was there a new update or something that might explain this? Any other thoughts?

If a new email in HTML format with downloadable content, it takes over 10 seconds to display the new email. I see the downloading bar at the bottom while waiting. It started to happen about one or two weeks ago and it has been consistent. Once the new email is displayed, going back to the email displays it instantly. I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same. I updated TB to 128.4.2esr earlier today and it has not made any difference.

thunderbird version 2024 - toolbar customization: missing: "delete" and "junk"


Dear ,

we send a note as i handle average day, some 1000 emails in thunderbird.

for handling this , we use thunderbird last 10 years, where as the mail toolbar is:

previous - next - (delete ) - (junk )

In all versions up to 2023 , we would install above 4 (four ) settings on one line after each other.

In the new version from 2024 , the settings between: ( ) , are no longer in the main possibilies, but

we must use these settings on the line under; which takes far more time than all on one line.

Is it possible to have the ( ) settings, in the next new version , back again , like before ??

Nice greetings,

rony meskens

Occasionally some of my contacts said they were not receiving my emails. Therefore I sent an email to myself and it did not arrive. When I checked my sent box my email was there but the sent address consisted of the first part of my own address, followed by a completely different address, which I traced to a Spanish email provider: @d4.com.mx

It looks like my sent emails are sometimes being re-directed to someone else's address. How can this happen and more important how can it be stopped?

I like using Firefox but it is increasingly becoming incompatible with more and more websites. There is nothing wrong with the websites, I can login using Google Chrome just fine. Firefox simply won't allow me to login to certain websites that I was able to access using Firefox before. Anyone know why this is happening?
