I'm getting a lot of crashes lately. I've restarted my phone, force closed Firefox and deleted the cache. Didn't fix it unfortunately. Firefox Android Mobile 134.0.2 (Build #2016068999)

Here is the error: 95dfeae4-16a9-45bd-8474-02ede37eb9dc java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

I have a new Macbook M4, and installed Thunderbird 128.6.1esr as default email application.

If a new message comes in, suddenly a white square appears in the upper left of the desktop, and Thunderbird becomes nonresponsive. If I close it, it won't reopen. If I click the white square, a truncated Thunderbird menu appears at the top. See screenshot.

Also, the white square overlays all other running applications, so that anything full screen has the red and yellow close/minimize buttons hidden.

This happens whether Thunderbird is the only application running or if others are running.

It is driving me mad. Any insights how to fix it?

エラーメッセージ「Thunderbirdは起動していますが応答しません。新しいウィンドウを開くには、既存のThunderbirdプロセスを終了させなければなりません。」　が出て起動できなりました。ネットを参考に・システムの再起動やトラブルシューティングモード起動など試してみましたが、同じ結果でした。 これまでThunderbirdを利用させてもらって、大変助かっており皆様には感謝いたしております。今回は初めてのトラブルでほとほと困っております。 どなたか対処方法や参考になるサイトなどがありましたら、お教え願いますでしょうか。よろしくお願いいたします。

I've always experience occasional TB crashes. According to my log history there was 1 in July, 3 in Aug, 2 in Sep, 2 in Oct, and 6 in Nov. I never really paid attention since the reboot was quick. But now in December I am losing work and it is a major problem. I've had 30 crashes in Dec and 21 in the past week. I have only 3 add ons and they have not changed, and a Copernic connector. I disable the Copernic connector and it didn't help. I have the same 140.6 on my Surface Go with the same add ons, except for Copernic and it runs fine. On both PCs I use Malewarebytes and WinDef. I have put exclusions for them in their setups. Even with MBAM completely disabled I've still had crashes.

I cleared the Cache and no help. I've even had occasional crashes in Troubleshooting mode. Here are my last 5 crash IDs

Interestingly I’m also experiencing crashes with Firefox, especially ChatGPT. I cleared the ChatGPT history and that helped but did not solve the problem. I cleared the Firefox cache and in troubleshoot mode still have issues.

Otherwise my win11 PC seems to be working fine. I’ve run chkdsk and all is ok. Also scannow is ok.

Is my next step a profile rebuild?

Since a few weeks I have been encountering an issue where tabs in Firefox would frequently crash. I do have various add-ons installed, however I haven't installed any new ones around the time the issue has been occurring. I've been unable to track down which add-on or if any add-on might be causing this.

Trying to search for this issue all I could come up with is that it might be an issue of a faulty CPU. I have an i9-13900KF which has been known to be part of the Intel generation with serious flaws. However I already installed a BIOS update and applied Intel's recommended settings to undervolt the CPU to prevent any issues. This was well before the Firefox tab crashing issue happened. So I'm not sure if it can really be the issue of a faulty CPU, but I've also had issues of other programs randomly crashing recently (like Discord or Steam).

The tab crash can occur on any website, for example Youtube, Duckduckgo, Protonmail, etc. The crash reason always is either "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ" or just "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION". The crash also most of the time (but not always) occurs when loading the page itself or a video / live stream on it. But not when browsing an already loaded page (for example this forum post page I'm writing right now).

Here are some of the crash reports I've submitted:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/60309ae8-8cad-43ac-8b9b-172b10250815 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/fecef0ab-d874-4cb5-990b-e49650250815

Rather rare "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION": https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/114b26fa-4e10-442c-bbd5-406630250812

Could someone help me narrow down this issue? Can it really be a faulty CPU and I need to trade mine in?

Hello,

I use Thunderbird 128.5.2esr with xubuntu 24.04.

All of a sudden (I haven't changed anything) thunderbird hangs completely after a few minutes running. The process does not react at all, I have to kill it. Thunderbird process is then stuck on 100% load.

Already testet (with no success):

• Troubleshooting Mode with deactivated Addons
• Disabled Global Indexing (with deleting global-messages-db.sqlite file)
• Waiting for 20min (in case thread/process is running a long time)
• Reboot OS

I have no idea what the issue is. Does anyone have ideas? Thx, Hugo

When I press a hotkey that involves Ctrl (ie. opening a new Tab via Ctrl+T or closing one via Ctrl+W) Ctrl sometimes remains stuck until I press it again. This will cause issues ie. when I open a new tab and try to type a new address (or search term), and Ctrl causes new hotkeys to be executed.

I've even tried launching firefox with a new profile, and on safe mode (firefox --safe-mode -p <something-else-than-usual>), so no bookmarks, cookies or extensions should be causing this, and it will still happen sometimes. The annoying part is that this seems to be an issue with performance. It happens less-often with the empty profile and safe mode, but it still happens, especially if I had just opened a new page some tab, causing the most minute thing for firefox to process.

The problem is probably not the computer specs either (below my specs). Indeed, from what I can tell, firefox does not even seem to function particularily slow in any case. Just this ctrl being stuck seems to happen.

I have also tried disabling hardware-acceleration (and explicitly enabling it), no effect.

Other interesting facts I've discovered: - This for sure does not happen in other programs and - This does not happen with the Ctrl for all the keybinds within firefox. For example, Ctrl+A (for select all) does not trigger this

(I have no idea why it's reporting that I'm using Sway, I'm most certainly only using labwc, maybe labwc just reports sway for some programs for compatibility) I've installed firefox from pacman, and my current version is firefox 134.0.1-1

I'm not sure what else I could share at this point

Hello, I'm using Thunderbird version 140.2.1esr (64-bit). I want to create a new account with a different email address. In the first dialog, I'm asked for my "Full Name" and "Email Address." After that, I only have the option to click "Continue." Thunderbird then crashes, and even after several minutes, it doesn't continue. I've attached a screenshot. Creating multiple accounts is actually quite common for me; I've done it several times in the past with previous versions of Thunderbird without any problems. Thank you for your support. Regards, Jürgen

Hey, I've been experiencing my YouTube and Twitch tabs crashing almost every 20-40 minutes and it's been kind of annoying.

Does anyone know if the crashes are because of my drivers or Windows not being up to date? Never had this issue with Opera before.

I’ve observed a consistent issue across several Android devices using Firefox (latest stable version). When trying to launch or interact with certain modded APK-based games—especially those with unpacked resources or modified DEX structures—Firefox either freezes or crashes unexpectedly.

Interestingly, this behavior doesn’t occur on other browsers like Chrome or Samsung Internet. In fact, some third-party websites seem to handle these APKs with stable performance, suggesting it's not an issue with the APKs themselves but possibly how Firefox handles local server callbacks, file-based intents, or memory allocation under WebView.

I’m wondering if this could be tied to Firefox’s stricter security sandboxing, CSP enforcement, or service worker management?

Are there any logs, flags, or debugging routes I can use to isolate the problem further?

Hi - I'm trying to install Thunderbird on my mac to get away from a google workspace account. I've downloaded it a couple times and it crashes immediately after the login screen. Same thing in Troubleshoot mode. It's a work computer so it might have something installed preventing the desktop app from working. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'm using Win 11 and ver 140.3.1esr (64 bit)

Thunderbird works perfectly except for just one thing. Every time I write any email it freezes after about 2 minutes. If it's a short email, it gets sent. If it's longer, before I can get to the end, the program freezes, and I have to use Task Manager to stop it. No problem receiving and reading emails. This started about a month ago.

I use Bitdefender, but it still happens with that off. Windows is up to date. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.

Hello,

I have today encountered a reproducible issue with Firefox 145.0.2 (64-bit) on my system (CachyOS Linux). Whenever I press the "Print" button in the printing dialog for a PDF file, the browser freezes and no longer reacts to anything. I had to kill the process manually and try again. I have then downloaded the PDF and opened a different application to print it - that worked fine. Is this a known issue with Firefox? Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I already tried resetting the printer settings in the browser, but that did not change anything.

Thanks, Stefan

I already reported this and still nothing changed

can't flip the camera bottom left. and it keeps crashing while talking to people

Actual results:

the camera flip option in the bottom left not working!! it just shows my rear camera

Thunderbird is freezing when I try to type a message into the new message window. It takes maybe 100 characters or so, then just freezes and requires ctrl-alt-del and end task to get out of it. This began with auto-installation of 140.0.1 as described below, and is 100% reproducible.

Environment: Windows 11 home 64 bit (specifically 2025-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems )

Running Thunderbird 140.0.1: Thunderbird 140.1.1esr was auto installed on July 10, 2025. Version history says that the install failed, but version showed as 140.0.1esr. This is when the problem began. On July 18th, I downloaded the release version of Thunderbird and installed that (140.0.1 - no esr). This did not resolve the problem. Troubleshooting info now shows 140.0.1 - no esr as the current version, but the update history does not show that upgrade/downgrade in the list, so I'm not sure it happened.

Things I have tried: Windows safe mode Thunderbird safe mode Clear caches Removed several mail accounts from Thunderbird

Below is system info from Thunderbird troubleshooting page.

Hello! I used Thunderbird on a MacBook Pro with MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. No problems for years up to version 139.x. Now, starting with version 140.x, high CPU load and crash when exiting the Thunderbird. App Error also occurs with a completely new MacOS 10.15.7. Installation only with Thunderbird 141.0 and empty profile.

Does anyone have any tips?

I would like to continue using Thunderbird without any changes.

Best regards, Robert, Austria.
