I have recently migrated to Firefox from Chrome.

I cannot paste images (screenshots) directly into my Outlook emails.

I can insert a picture file but this is way less convenient than taking a screenshot via the Snipping Tool and pasting directly into my emails.

I cannot find any setting or configuration that would enable this functionality.

This functionality sure worked in that other browser.

I have been a Thunderbird user forever. LOVE it !!! I used to have 2 email accounts underneath Thunderbird: TWC mail and Gmail. Every account worked great sending/receiving up until Feb 12. Then my TWC mail stopped replicating. Gmail account still works. Called TWC and was informed that I had to update my Master Password for my Spectrum Account. Worked with Tech Support to get me all re-established. Went into Thunderbird and still couldn't replicate. Found an answer dated 1/26/25 by teknikal at 10:44 on this Forum which sounded like exactly my problem. Called Spectrum every day trying to find the Server Engineer who could help me reset my password to no avail. Then i investigated updating my new password in the saved password of the account setting. There was only a saved password for TWC for SMTP which I updated and was able to successfully send and email from TWC to Gmail under Thunderbird. But I still can not receive emails and there is NO saved password for IMAP. So I did further reading and found my only alternative was to delete TWC from Thunderbird and re-add the account. Which I tried to do. But the configuration that replicated was mobile.charter.net which I manually changed to mail.twc.com but Thunderbird keeps telling me it can't find the server. I just got off the phone with Spectrum and my config is accurate: smtp mail.twc.com 587 starttls normal password chrismcm@twcny.rr.com imap mail.twc.com 993 starttls normal password chrismcm@twcny.rr.com Why isn't Thunderbird configuring my mail server so that I can send and receive emails ??? And now have I lost all my mail and folders since I deleted my account only to re-add it ??? I'm ready for the looney bin because I have been at this for DAYS !!! Please HELP !!! Thank you.

Is there a way to customize keyboard shortcuts through about:? If there is, it should be explained here, or if it's explained somewhere else, there should be a link here to that page. There are some utilities that are supposed to do that. One of them worked through Tools > Options, which doesn't exist anymore. I can't figure out how to use it. Another add-on lets you add shortcuts, but doesn't let you delete an exiting shortcut. I want to remove the keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+Shift+A. I have no idea how to do it.

Hi there,

Is there a way to change the keyboard shortcut for the Bookmarks Library back to Ctrl-Shift-B?

I tried the old solution offered here (config.js / config-prefs.js), but it no longer seems to work in FF 131: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318541

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Windows Live Mail finally stopped working for me. I tied both gmail desktop notifications and Outlook and kept having the same problem: I'd get a pop-up for 3 seconds saying I had an email in another account and then it would disappear. There was no record of it in "Notifications" like there was for WLM.....so, if I didn't see it pop up, I'd never know.....which takes away the main purpose of having it.

So, I decided to try Thunderbird and get the same problem. A very brief pop-up saying I got an email and then it vanished....with no record. So, if I was in the kitchen or bathroom, I'd never know about it.

Any suggestions?

My screen has been zoomed so I only see half of the email or image. Support at yahoo said that this is a Firefox issue. I would like to"unzoom" so I can see the full screen ar one time.

I have a folder on my desktop labelled "Local Folders", which contains the emails I have put into seperate folders. My Thunderbird start page does not show those folders in the Folder Pane on the left. It only shows folders like inbox, trash etc. Can anyone help?

Running on a Samsung Galaxy S21, Android 14, One UI version 6.1. Android security patch Jan 1, 2025.

I've tried both the most recent stable version of the Android Thunderbird app as well as the beta version, both from the play store. Both successfully import from the desktop app using the QR code. At least the process seems to complete without any glitches and my two mailboxes show up on my phone.

I'm connecting to servers at Pair networks, which works from the Thunderbird desktop (Max OS, Sequoia 15.3). I have two mailboxes, both routed to the "unified" view.

I'm pretty sure the mail servers are running IMAP, but there's always room for doubt.

I'm assuming that the little circle of arrows in the menu for the unified view does a manual sync, although I reconfigured the polling for 15 minutes and waited significantly longer than that and still nothing.

I can send e-mails from my gmail account and they arrive at the desktop app in short order but don't get to the Android app. I'm assuming here that both the desktop and Android programs will get all emails...

I am running BitDefender on my phone, although I've tried disabling that and still nothing when doing a manual sync.

It doesn't appear that I can send e-mail from my phone either. Messages just sit there in the outbox, even after clicking "send messages" on from the three-dot menu drop-down. I can send e-mail from the desktop client.

I have the app running on my laptop all this time.

I'm at my wit's end, any suggestions?

Thanks, Erick

Dear Sir We had recently installed fire fox, trying to import outlook data for same POP account with same password, but firefox showing importing data folders also created, but no progress seems. can you suggest some solutions.

These instructions don't seem to agree with how its done. Thinking they are for an older version. Enabling calendars in Thunderbird is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out:

Open Thunderbird: Launch the Thunderbird application on your computer.

Access the Calendar Tab: Click on the calendar icon in the top-right corner of the Thunderbird window to switch to the Calendar view.

Create a New Calendar:

Right-click in the calendar list on the left side of the screen.

Select New Calendar from the context menu.

Choose whether you want to create the calendar on your computer (local calendar) or on the network (online calendar).

Set Up the Calendar:

If you choose On my computer, enter a name for your calendar, select a color, and click Create Calendar.

If you choose On the Network, enter your username and the calendar URL. Thunderbird supports various calendar URLs, including Google Calendar.

If you want to sync your Google Calendar with Thunderbird, you’ll need to install the Provider for Google Calendar add-on. Here’s how:

Install the Add-on:

Go to the Thunderbird menu (≡) and select Add-ons.

Search for Provider for Google Calendar and install it.

Configure the Add-on:

After installation, go back to the Calendar view.

Right-click in the calendar list and select New Calendar.

Choose On the Network and follow the prompts to connect your Google Calendar.

That should get your calendars up and running in Thunderbird! If you run into any issues, feel free to ask for more help.

Hallo Support, ich hatte eine ältere Version, leider ist diese durch Remote-Hilfe von Microsoft zur XBox verloren gegangen. Kann ich einen Link bekommen, so dass ich diese Version wieder installieren kann da ich mit der aktuellen Version dies nicht ereichen kann. Mir freundlichen Grüßen Wolfgang Fischer Mail-Adresse awfisch@t-online.de

For the 3rd time in the past 10 months, I cannot receive or send emails through Thunderbird on my laptop. Again, a pop-up states IP address is temporarily blacklisted and another states cannot login to imap.comcast. This always happens after a Thunderbird automatic update. (Last auto-update was Jan. 22, 2025. Haven't been able to access Thunderbird email since then. Have checked settings and all are set as required. Have reset modem and router. Have deleted all junk emails. Know it's not a Comcast issue as I am getting my Comcast emails on my cell phone via my BlueMail email app. (But cannot work on emailed documents on my cell phone.) The other 2 times this happened, email began loading after 10 days of no activity. No rhyme or reason. Have checked the box for a status update but reports come through via email... which is currently not accessible via Thunderbird. Why does this continue to happen? Please help!

Something changed a few weeks ago (about November 30) and since then Thunderbird will not allow me access to any new emails, nor to be able to send new emails.

Instead, I get a large pop-up window which basically says "Enter credentials: Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account <my email typed here> This will allow Mozilla Thunderbird Email to: Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail".

I don't want anyone to permamently delete any of my emails, nor do I want anyone sending emails from my email account (etc, etc).

SO I click deny, and the pop-up goes away - that is until I try to use Thunderbird and it pops up again.

I've been using Thunderbird for many years and never had this problem before. Do the Thunderbird or Mozilla techs know anything about this and how do I fix it, or is it a new policy (which means I will no longer be using Thunderbird)?

I have searched here some time in December but nothing suggested by other users worked for me.

How do I report an issue with the way NVDA and Thunderbird interact? When I tab, I can't out of a link, and the focus does not move. If I tab to a link in a message then arrow down, I am where I expect, but then if I go to the top of the message, the tab focus remains where it was when I last hit the tab key. This is not standard behavior, but everyone else I've talked to seems to think it's behaving normally and has no tips for me on how to fix it.

I clicked on all your links to donate and there was never any link for me to click and put my information. Why would anyone ask for donations and have no direct link and make it so difficult to find that one just gives up on donating? Baffles the mind. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/donate/ has no link to pay.
