I switched from Windows to Linux. I have signed in and tried retrieving bookmarks, browsing history and passwords, AFTER already having formatted my computer and deleted Windows. I signed in to the same account, had syncing on, but i can't seem to get any of the stuff back. I didn't have any additional backup files with those. Is there anyway i could somehow restore it all? The bookmarks are most important to me out of those. I'd be extremely grateful for any help

I need help with a problem that has tortured me for weeks. I use debian 13 with plasmakde. I don't know why, but when I connect to a wifi after some time it doesn't work anymore ONLY with Firefox. I can perfectly use any other app which requires internet but firefox. Sometimes it gives me the error "The connection has timed out", sometimes the error "Unable to find the proxy server" (even if I selected no proxy in the network settings). I searched online but I couldn't find anything helpful, so I can only hope to find a solution in here. Thank you very much in advance!

I have Version 140.8.0esr | Released February 24, 2026, for Linux Mint (up to date)

I have a CardDAV address book on a Nextcloud instance that i want to sync to Thunderbird.

When i open Address Book and the clikc on " Create a new address book" the Account Hub modal window opens. None of the 4 options (including Add Remote Address Book" do anything, i.e. I can click as much as I like but nothing happens.

Hi,

OS: Linux Manjaro 6.18.12-1 (Cinnamon 6.6.7) Thunderbird: 147.0.1 Email: google account

Everything worked perfect till I upgraded to version 147.0.1 When after replying or writing new email, hitting the [send] button I always get this error message

"Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again."

Click [OK] and save the message or messages is dropping them in the 'Drafts' folder. Close Thunderbird and start it again. Then double click the messages in the [Drafts] folder and hit the [Send] button, will send the messages without problem.

Nothing changed to my setup, I only upgraded to 147.0.1. Another weird thing: every-time I start Thunderbird it creates a Thunderbird directory under my home.

Is one connected to the other? Has somebody an idea what's going on/wrong?

Many thanks in advance

Hallo, ich benutze immer den aktuellen Firefox unter Debian Trixie. Ich habe jetzt das Problem das sich das Fenster meines Firefox nach einiger Zeit der Untätigkeit von selbst verkleinert. Sprich, wenn ich einen Button drücken möchte dann muss ich mit dem Mauszeiger eine Zeile höher drücken als der Button liegt. Meine Treiber sind alle aktuell und ich habe früher dieses Problem noch nie gehabt. Wäre euch für eine Hilfe dankbar. mfg Schorsch

Hello All,

I noticed that while YouTube videos play with no problems (despite those videos not starting automatically if I open them in a new tab) YouTube Music does not play anything at all. If I open it on my Android Smartphone it works like a charm, but on desktop Firefox nothing.

I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit Kernel 6.17.0-19-generic Desktop Environment: Cinnamon 6.6.7

I installed the ffmpeg codec package Cleared cookies and data for YouTube I did some research on my own and enabled in about:config "media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled set to False" Enabled in settings Play DRM protected content Disabled using Hardware acceleration Also PulseAudio is installed

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me understand what's happening

I just wanted to say thank you so much for adding the new Firefox VPN toggle. I used to use the google one VPN before they shut it down, and some websites I browse have region specific things I can't use in the US.

Please keep supporting and implementing the Firefox VPN, it greatly improves my experience on Firefox.

Have to keep pressing keys periodically when streaming video in a Firefox tab to prevent the screen going dark. The Ubuntu Mate Power Management settings have all been configured to prevent the System from doing so, so I'm wondering if this has something to do with Firefox. As a caregiver for a disabled person otherwise without television access I would find this very helpful.

I am trying to setup Thunderbird using one User-ID and PWD combination, with multiple email addreses (Spectrum ISP). I have executed the Profile Manager but it seems to use the email address provided as the account access User-ID. This is not working in my scenario. I need to provide to Thunderbird User-ID and PWD credentials once, and retrieve/send email for multiple email addresses. My ISP (Spectrum) supports multiple email addresses (up-to 5) that are associated with one User-ID and PWD.

About 140.8 ESR. Use the internal spam filter or externals like Bogofilter or SpamAssasain? 2nd: RSS option (Blogs and Feeds) every so often downloads duplicate feeds - how to remove duplicates?? Last: Earlier versions Thunderbird can import Outlook Templates - anyone knows how??? Example: I want to send my mom a Mother's Day email with a nice background but the background does not have to be animated - how would I go about that? I have plenty of email templates from Outlook 95/XP - just not sure how to import and use.
