I am using Thunderbird 115.12.1 (64 bit) on Windows 10 with the email account set up as POP3 for the Gmail account

I have a subfolder under an Inbox (Gmail account) that is no longer showing up. If I search for an email address from a sender that was in the folder, I get a list of emails showing the dates and subject, but if I click on the email, the tab that opens is blank.

My PC crashed, but I can't say for sure when the folder disappeared, other than I know it was there 4 days ago. It the the only subfolder that is missing.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Google search no longer works on Firefox. Other browsers have no problems. Changing the default search engine on Firefox works (eg Bing), BUT. It can now find Google Maps, but Google Maps cannot find a location, because it uses a Google search. I tried the fix in about:config, but it had no effect.

I've been having this reoccurring firefox bug every couple of months where randomly all audio from the application stops working is no longer available in the volume mixer of windows 11 (see example screenshot with twitch tab in background playing)

In the past, I was able to fix this issue by simply restarting the audisrv service and everything would work normally but now nothing I do seems to work. I've tried:

- Resetting - Uninstall/reinstall - Disabled all extensions - New profile

I do not have this issue on firefox dev or firefox nightly. If anyone has any ideas on how I could resolve or better diagnose this issue it would be much appreciated! TIA

Firefox hangs for 5 seconds between every type of download between the "Ok" of the "Save As.." dialog and the actual download of the file.

Any ideas how to resolve the issue or troubleshooting tips?

I'm currently using Firefox 108.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Thanks!

Having used Thunderbird for some time, I installed it on a new PC, and found that virtually all my emails on a particular account seem to have been deleted, despite the app being set up to retain them. I checked on the webmail (BT) and they have gone. The account is set up as IMAP - as is another account on the same server, which seems OK. BT won't engage with me on this as they "don't support third party apps" I assume that 3 years worth of important client history is gone for ever? Can anyone suggest what I did wrong, or is this a software failure?

I tried to Connect Dropbox to my desktop, but the page would not load.

Chrome has no problem loading the page.

Could someone please let me know if they have the same problem

Firstly, I have a brain injury. I am easily overwhelmed by information and am slow to understand - especially anything to do with I.T.

Recently, I began successfully accessing the internet / Firefox via my Wifi Repeater. As of two or three days ago. I keep being asked to "log in to access the Internet", but even after I do it (successfully, as far as my repeater is concerned) I'm no further forward; I keep being asked to log in.

Thanks to my repeater I have a strong signal when in my garden office. But after a month, Firefox has suddenly stopped allowing me to use it. I am back at Square 1, before I purchased the thing.

I need need to work from my office. Please help resume my Repeater's access.

Kind regards,

Sean

Hello,

I'm not able to upload files to certain websites using Firefox on Android.

When selecting a file for the phone's file manager, the file upload simply not starting.

However, Firefox on iOS doesn't have that issue.

Firefox version used is the latest one and it is the one from Google Play.

Tried another browser and it works great.

Subject: Account Settings -> Server Settings Occurrence: after update to 52.1.0 (32 bit)

My default setting was unchecked 'Automatically download new messages' and checked 'Fetch headers only'. After automatic update to 52.1.0 I could no longer download full emails from my email server by clicking on 'Download the rest of the message' hyperlink. However option 'Get selected messages' works and is active (available) from the start. I know this bug (inactive 'Get selected messages' after opening of Thunderbird) was on the Mozilla's back burner since ancient times :).

Setting opposite to default: checked 'Automatically download new messages' and unchecked 'Fetch headers only' loads emails without the problem but is potentially unsafe.

I shutdown Thunderbird and restarted and it now prompts me to create a new account and all my email boxes are missing. The files are still in C:\Users\masud\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default and I have tried creating a new profile and transferring over some of the main files to the new profile, but this gives the same problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled TB and still no luck. My Address book is accessible though.

When sending emails - I receive the message box: Log-in failed (In Danish Log-in mislykkedes). See first image file. Further, Log-in to the server asmtp.telia.dk failed (but written in Danish). I am a Telia customer, and the outgoing server name is correct. I click the button in the middle; "Type in new password" - next file picture comes up, named "SMTP-server password is required". I type in the, correct, password for my e-mail account at Telia. - Tried both variations of clicking the box to ask the password manager to keep the password - and not clicking it. - And click OK. No difference. Then it returns back to the first image file again - and so it goes into circles again, again and again! In Settings, Security, saved password menu - both the in-going and the outgoing servers are correct - see third picture, and when I want to see the passwords they are equal and correct. I also attach a screen shot of my SMTP settings. I have tried to disable and enable the firewall and my antivirus program, but no difference. I use Bullguard 18.0.346.2 version. I can send e-mails from other devices from the same e-mail account and server, but not from Thunderbird, so it must be a local problem here. I use Windows 10 home, version 1709. My Thunderbird is 52.6.0 (32-bit). I had the same issue for a few days ago, but only once, first time for about 2 years usage of Thunderbird, but typing in the password in the second image, solved the problem and it has been running for a couple of days until now when in runs in circles. So, what is wrong - and what to do? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

After upgrading my Thunderbird install to version 60.2.1 on my Xubuntu 18.04 machine, I cannot access my mail anymore, because there seems to be a problem with passwords.

Symptoms:

- When starting Thunderbird, I get an "Enter your password" box for each of my accounts even though I had my passwords saved.

- When I go to Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords, the list is empty.

- When I try to enter a password and save it, it does not actually get saved and Thunderbird will ask again soon after.

- The following line is logged to console a whole bunch of times:

JavaScript error: jar:file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/omni.ja!/components/crypto-SDR.js, line 179: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Couldn't decrypt string

Other findings:

- Downgrading Thunderbird to 52.7.0 fixes the problem. The old saved passwords just reappear again and Thunderbird has no problem logging in.

- Starting Thunderbird 60.2.1 on a Windows 10 box with exactly the same profile folder works fine. It can read the passwords and access my mail accounts.

Can you please tell me what to do to fix this, so I don't need to keep using an old version of Thunderbird just to access my mail?

Thanks,

I've been using Thunderbird for a long time on this computer now and it has always worked like a charm. However, since the latest update I am unable to view my emails as the main window is mostly invisible.

When I start Thunderbird, I can see how it builds the window quickly, displaying one component after another but immediately removing them again afterwards. After this process is over, the window is completely invisible and I only see a small, blue loading circle in the top left of the screen. Clicking on the Thunderbird icon in the taskbar has no effect. Sometimes single, seemingly random elements of the GUI remain visible (like for example single rows of my inbox or the "File" button in the menu bar) but disappear as soon as I point my cursor at them. It is hard to make screenshots of this phenomenon, I would probably have to provide a screen recording from when I start Thunderbird to properly showcase what the problem is. Interestingly I am sometimes able to click onto the menubar options (File, View, ...) and use the context menu, through this I was able to open my address book which functions without any problems.

I feel like the program itself is starting and working as intended, however, the GUI isn't displayed correctly. As I haven't changed any settings in the last days I don't know what causes the problem. Google searches regarding the latest Thunderbird version and known GUI bugs didn't yield any results either.

I use Windows 10 and should be on the latest version of Thunderbird. Any help is very much appreciated!

Similar to the issue described in this thread (https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1240674), I am unable to open Firefox - it simply refuses to open. I've tried multiple times, the option key, and re-installing. Nothing seems to work, which suggests something about my user settings is the issue, but a) I am not keen on deleting this if possible and b) I won't delete my user settings unless that is necessary. Like the attached thread, I am happy to attach crash reports, but without the ability to even open Firefox properly it's not obvious how I do this - force-quitting it just sends a report to Apple.

Any help much appreciated - I'd quite like Firefox working again.

My laptop is a MacBook Pro 13 2020 (Intel) running macOS Monterey (12.7.4). I installed the version of Firefox available for download as of writing (v127.0 based on Finder).

I recently changed my google account/ gmail password. Since then I cannot send gmail via thunderbird. (I can send others hotmail etc) I can receive mail. I can send gmail via the gmail web browser. Sent gmail mail then shows in thunderbird.

I get the following message when sending email in thunderbird: Login to server smtp.googlemail.com with username sjagutpal@gmail.com failed. Enter new password I enter my new password. Fails again.

Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.googlemail.com. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'

note: IMAP server settings is OAuth2.

please help ?

Many Thanks...

I read through the previous discussion on this issue since I am suffering from the same issue of links not working as expected. I regularly need to forward messages which include links and none of the suggestions mentioned worked for me, and I do not recall this being a problem in the past.

I currently run Thunderbird 115.11.0 on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon & have been using Thunderbird as my primary Email package for many years across multiple computers.

The work around is to to copy any email that is to be forwarded to the Drafts folder. Links are preserved and the message can then be edited as required and sent complete with the embedded links.

Hope this helps others who have the same problem.

I can't SEND on Thunderbird as of Update to Version 115.12.1 on 6/19. I was able to SEND on June 18th and left town for a week and when I came back could not Send. That could be a coincidence. Have Windows 11, with Defender Firewall and Security virus protection. I have TB version 115.12.2 up to date. I have checked with Spectrum for the correct configuration and currently I have as Description: SMTP Server (on top line); Server Name: Mail.brighthouse.com and Port 465, No Authentication and SSL/TLS. My User Name: e-mail address ends in @tampabay.rr.com and that is the same as shown on incoming server.

My husband just downloaded TB program on his Windows 8.1 which is my old computer that I've been running TB on for 15 years without a hitch!! ''''And he also cannot SEND.'''' It's very frustrating - we've tried changing server settings since Spectrum uses not only Brighthouse (which is the one they say covers the Tampabay.rr.com address) but they also use Mobil.charter.net and also TWC.com. I've tried changing them up but nothing works. I've tried changing Ports and anything I could change I did, but nothing works. I did get a couple of error msgs but they didn't help. Brighthouse timed out and another msg was saying that the email address I was sending as had to match the email address of the authentication and that didn't make sense as I have only had one address & (typed correctly in all places). I have called Spectrum more than once and asked for an upper level, however, they were no help at all saying they have no resp. for 3rd party etc. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP SOLVE THIS MYSTERY. Thank you!

I cannot get my emails to print out. This is a new problem as it has worked in the past. The printer is working OK both for photocopies and to print out documents on the computer. It accepts the instruction to print but the paper just feeds through the printer with nothing on it. Help!

Thunderbird crashes regularly. I have determined that it might be due to RAM. When Quickbooks is open, Thunderbird will crash almost all the time. If I close QB, it is fine. I have an HP desktop w/ 8GB ram. What I don't understand is that it started doing this recently, but never used to crash. Is TB using more ram now since the latest releases? Any insight would be appreciated.
