I have no idea what is happening... But after restarting, clearing my cache, making sure I have data and it is working for other apps... Still no results.

No matter what, whether I try to type in a URL, click on a link in the google app, or refresh a page I already have open, the app doesn't even attempt to load a page or throw up an error. Just a blank background, no loading bar, no error messages, and no redirects...

Cannot send email after upgrade from TB 102.15 to 115.2

I have 2 mail accounts synced to TB. Both are hotmail accounts. I can send emails from 1 but not the other after updating TB from 102.15 to 115.2. Everything else seems to work. I've changed no settings and they seem correct as far as I can tell. When I try to send mail from the problem account, a blank browser pop-up comes for a few seconds (authentication?) then disappears; then, the "sending" bubble comes up and then times out giving this error message: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com timed out. Try again." What is a solution for this? Thanks in advance.

Sometimes when I click full-screen on a video, the app view disappears, and I am back out on the home screen. I still hear the video, and can switch back to Firefox and try full-screen again. It usually (maybe always) works the second time.

When it happens, I can briefly see the video go full-screen and rotate to landscape. When the view has disappeared the screen rotates back to portrait. Whenever a video stays in portrait mode when going full-screen, the problem does not occur.

Even when closing firefox, I can still hear the video. So I think it is related to this issue: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1420245]

What I have tried:

  • Switching versions of firefox, they all have the same issue; Firefox, Firefox Nightly, and Fennec.
  • Clearing cache and disabling add-ons has not worked, but seemed to make it happen less frequently for a while (not sure).
  • I tried activating automatic screen rotation, but this made the problem worse. It would then not work the second time and firefox would only display part of the website in the top right corner of the screen. Closing it and re-opening it multiple times did not work. I had to turn auto-rotate back off.
  • I'm using the KISS launcher. Tried switching to various other launchers, but it made no difference.

I have Thunderbird 115.0b2 installed and using unified folders. When I delete a message from my inbox or even any of my local folders, the deleted message does not move to my Trash folder. Basically, the email is gone. I looked through all the various TB settings and cannot find any that would cause this action. I really want the deleted emails to go into the Trash folder in case I make an error deleting the wrong email one day. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you, Steve

I'm having an issue with Firefox on Android. On certain websites (e.g., Yahoo News, Calscape.org, Google search results--with Goggle Search Fixer add-on enabled), I can scroll down the page without issue, but scrolling slowly back up toward the top of the page with downward drags of my finger is only responsive half of the time. That is, I can only scroll back up with every-other downward swipe/drag of my finger. This odd behavior does not happen with other mobile browsers (I'm on Android 13 and using a Galaxy A53 5G). Any suggestions?

For a few weeks now, Firefox has been often freezing a webpage for 5-10 seconds during browsing. It mostly happens when going back to the previous page, but also when clicking a link or doing a google search. For those 10 seconds, you can't do anything on the page; no clicking other links or selecting text.

I've already tried: - troubleshoot mode; it still happens when all extensions are turned off - turning on/off hardware acceleration - creating new places databes - updating to the newest version

Not sure when it started but nearly every attempt to play Youtube videos results in the video freezing after about 1/2 second while audio continues, then the video jumps forward randomly before freezing again. Have reloaded, restarted, cleared history, cookies, etc, and nothing helps. Mean time Chrome plays the videos flawlessly. This is a recent problem with FF and needs fixing badly as it will just not go away.

I am using Firefox Nightly 119.0a1 (2023-09-04) on macOS 12.6.8 on an Intel 15' MBP.

When clicking on a link from an external app (eg. WhatsApp, Teams, etc.) with Firefox not running in the background, Firefox will open up but will not open the link. I have to go back to the app and click the link again for it to work.

This has been an issue for me for a while now and it only happens with Firefox as other browsers will work as expected.

This problem began suddenly yesterday. Thunderbird is set to download messages automatically. When I opened it up yesterday, 8/27/2023, it said "downloading 1 of 50". I waited and it just stopped, no error message and no mail came in. Repeated attempts resulted in the same outcome. I reset TB, reset the PC with the same result. I turned the computer off overnight hoping for a better tomorrow and the same thing is happening now, except that it says "downloading 1 of 193". The last e-mail messages appear to have been downloaded on 8/26/2023, in the afternoon. No settings were changed prior to this problem popping up. I don't know whether TB did some sort of automatic update and I'm not sure how I would discover that anyway. An outgoing test message from this account to another account did arrive, although slowly. I'm running TB 102.14.0 (32-bit) on an up-to-date Windows 10. Does this problem sound familiar, and is there a simple fix? The mail is on the server and on my phone as well. I use POP and have not had any problems receiving mail on both my iPhone and my PC. Thanks.

My Firefox is having some problems relating to audio.

If I open a YouTube video, the image will play but there's no sound, on Twitter also, and so on. On YouTube Music the player won't even start, giving the error "An error occurred. Please try again later." I noticed that the stereo icon that shows up in the tab, which allow you to mute the tab, won't show up when I'm playing a video on YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, and so on.

Only Firefox has no sound, it's not muted in the Volume Mixer, neither in the app volume settings in Windows. I've followed everything suggested here here and here.

I think the problems may have started after I reinstalled my graphic card driver, but I'm not sure since I don't use this computer very often. I have a Windows 10 and my graphic card is a Nvidia GT 630, and the driver version is 474.44.

Hi Community, i wanted to ask wether it normal that Thunderbird 115 needs 60 seconds to load the interface? When it starts it shows my personalised theme and an empty space for a whole minute. (i measured it)

Directly after installation everything was fine. But now i have set up my acconts and rearranged some buttons. Is there maybe a problem with Exchange synchronisation on startup? Both of my accounts are provided by Exchange servers.

Hi. Around the last few days of July the videos on Youtube started freezing like when they stop playing to load, except it never stops loading and continue the video. When I skip ahead it plays for a few seconds and then stops again. I tried playing videos on other sites, and the same thing happens. The Youtube app works perfectly, and so does the Netflix app and the Chrome app - so I know it's a problem particular to the Firefox app. I removed most of my add-ons to test and it didn't help (the only ones I didn't remove are the uBlock Origin and the Search by Image ones). Also tried uninstalling and installing the app again, but no dice. Any idea how I can fix that?
