Upon sign-in to Hotmail, Firefox reports "you have tried to sign in too many times with wrong password", which is not true, and password works with chrome.

I have had this problem in the past, but now its back again. At first I just reset my password every time, then I set up the password to be auto-filled. I have had no sign-in failures for months. At one point i did figure out how to check my sign in history to see the failed attempts, and there were none. That was a long time ago, and I have since forgotten how to check this. The problem does seem to be with firefox as it does not happen with chrome.

Hi,

I configured my account using the server's IMAP service. Every time I open Thunderbird, it asks me for the password of the calendar service of that IMAP service. But it doesn't have a calendar service. Even if it has, I don't want to use it.

I looked everywhere in the settings page, but could not find a way to disable it.

Why the app keeps asking me for the calendar service's password and how to disable it?


Thanks.

On Bazzite, currently I'm running Thunderbird version 140.8.1esr.

I only have one account set up in Thunderbird, which is my iCloud email account. I followed the steps in this guide to set up my iCloud email account in Thunderbird, and it went very smooth.

No matter what I do, no matter how many times I mark all folders as read, the icon in my dock ALWAYS displays a new mail notification.

I've removed and re-added my account twice, and have uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird from the Bazaar store. iCloud on the web also does not show that I have any new messages.

Menu: Message>attachment>delete all

When delete all attachments for a message, when delete all attachments, auto move to the next message.

This behavior is annoying, usually I first delete all attachments and then reply but message position is in the next message.

This behavior is for example for version 140.7.1esr and 140.8.1esr.

102.15.1 work fine.

I don't plan to use any provided AI chatbot. I want to use models that I have downloaded and tested myself and which run on my PC. So please add the possibility to connect through major LLM APIs, the same way other tools way simpler than Firefox already allow to do.

I would like to know how I can control the timing of compacting the mailboxes under Linux and Windows. The reason why I ask is that every time compacting needs to be done, the prompt to do so comes up as soon as the Thunderbird interface finishes loading but before all of the mailboxes are finished updating,which can take several minutes. If I accept the compacting, it inevitably returns an error that it could not run because the mailboxes are still updating. Or I can cancel until I go through this the next time.

It would seem like a simple matter to either give the user a way to delay the compacting process, or have Thunderbird not initiate it until it is safe to do so to begin with.

I have tried to research this but have not found any answers.

Currently my Thunderbird 'Sent' mailbox is only holding emails back to the beginning of 2025. However on previous PC's my Sent mail went farther back, but not I think to the beginning of when I bought the PC. I do backup my PC with some regularity but I am wondering whether there is a limit to how far back Thunderbird saves messages. I've been using Thunderbird for about 20 years and wonder whether I can retrieve some of my great emails :)

I noted, that credit cards autofill works, but on ~50% of websites it fails. I can see the autofill dropdown, but if I select any card, no fields are filled. Manual filling works. One of examples: https://ipn.paymentus.com, but there are many. Again, on some websites it works just fine.

Another issue - I cannot edit cards. Settings->Payment methods->Manage, then select a card, press "Edit" and nothing happens.

Context: version 148.0 (64-bit), Canonical snap build (crap, I cannot DISABLE snap build and totally switch to deb!!!)

P.S. I really miss feature to add "aliases" for cards...

Subject: Request for Custom Provider Support or Grok Integration in Firefox AI Chatbot Sidebar

Detailed Description: I am exploring the new AI Chatbot sidebar feature in Firefox (Ubuntu build). As a practitioner in the deep learning field, I am particularly interested in the flexibility of the Web-view container used for these AI integrations.

Currently, the feature appears to be a curated list of providers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini). I would like to request the addition of Grok (by xAI), or more importantly, a Generic Provider Framework that allows users to manually configure custom endpoints.

Technical Specifics & Implementation Questions:

   Manifest Configuration: Is the sidebar AI provider list controlled via a remote settings push, or is there a local about:config or JSON manifest (e.g., within the browser resources) that can be modified to include Grok's web URL?
   Context Injection: How does the current sidebar handle DOM context for features like "Summarize this page"? If I were to manually add Grok via a side-loading method, what are the required API hooks for it to achieve parity with the built-in providers?
   User Agent & Authentication: Are there specific CORS policies or User-Agent strings enforced within the sidebar's iframe/browser-view that would prevent Grok’s X-auth or real-time streaming (SSE) from functioning correctly?

Use Case: Integrating Grok’s real-time information retrieval directly into the browser’s native sidebar would significantly optimize research workflows involving live data, which is a key differentiator from the currently supported models.
