Firefox tabs keep crashing repeatedly and sporadically. I had the most recent version on my mac. I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) I restarted Firefox various times, restarted the computer, tried troublehsooting mode, uninstalled Firefox and installed 115.2.1esr . Problem continues even in troubleshooting mode.

I had Thunderbird automatically upgraded to 115. Since then I only see the new emails, all folders and emails from September 12th, 2023 have disappeared. Unfortunately, the restore command doesn't help with MozBackup either; it is executed but with no result. Please describe to me step by step how I can restore the folders and emails.

In this folder: C:\Users\kschl\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird is just an old profile. Therefore, I wanted to use a backup via MozBackup to restore all data, unfortunately this doesn't work. An initial comparison of the newly created profile also shows the folders, but they are not displayed in Thunderbird - there is an incorrect setting.

Please describe this to me step by step, including in which directory I should store the backup in the future.

Hello, once again the function of restoring recently closed windows has stopped working, it is displayed in gray and you cannot enter it I usually work on two or three windows at the same time and this function usually works, but I can't use it for the second or third time. Can I recover closed windows? I will be grateful for your help Best regards, Paweł U

Please can you stop updating Thunderbird, or at least give us poor users the option of whether to accept them? Every time you update it I like Thunderbird less.

I was guided to use Thunderbird by my computer repair man when Outlook Express became unavailable to me. Gods, I miss good old Outlook Express; I could do anything I wanted with that.

Hi,

Been using Tbird for forever.

I have a odd setup of accounts. A bunch of accounts that are each one email address. No problem.

And then one LOCAL folder for a bunch of personal email addresses (eg, xxx@mindspring and xxx@earthlink.net combined into one Tbird "account" -- and and a few more email addresses too). This setup has worked fine for years.

BUT, then I upgraded to V115.

All my history in Inbox, Sent, etc, etc. is LOST for Local.

Why? (Honestly, I don't care about THAT so much ... see next question).

How do I get that history BACK??? In those subfolders? If you need it, I can list all the subfolders I use (pretty good guess).

I have TWO profiles apparently. Not clear to me if the install chose the wrong one. Plus a profiles.ini file in the Thunderbird Library folder.

Under Crash Reports: I have an Install Time item for Sept 6 - probably when I installed V115. Useful??

Where do I start?

THANKS! I NEED HELP!!!

Joe

I can't control the FONT SIZE of the incoming emails with the new version of T'bird. Hate it!! It's ugly. Looks crowded and, as I said I can't set it so the incoming fonts are a readable size. OR the font size in the individual mail boxes... This lack of control makes it next to useless for me. I'm in my 70s and really do need the larger font sizes.

We are distributor of Firefox extension for dragon professional. ( We are self distrubutor of the extension.)

It’s ID is dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com

Now we have done some modification to the same extension, while publishing it shows error as “Duplicate add-on ID found.”

Earlier we have used same ID for the Firefox extension in the year 2018.

Currently we have opened new account with same ID “dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com” and faced the mentioned issue.

We are expected to publish our extension with the same extension id as we don’t want our existing customers get affected.

Is there any way with which extension id “dgnria_pro.firefox@nuance.com” can be deleted from backend , so that we can reuse it.

Same as the question.

The display shows some icons on the last tabs I opened but it seems only some basic website layout is loaded but all the details are gone. Like text, button borders, even the exit, fullscreen and minimize buttons. I have seen that this has been an issue for quite some time before so I am looking if there is a fix or a workaround. I have and Nvidia graphics card and drivers if that means anything. And my swap file is 20 GB and my RAM is 16 so the space shouldn't be a problem. It gets fixed when I turn off Firefox but not when I refresh tabs.

The crazy thing is that when I take a screenshot inside firefox (with firefox integrated screenshot option, like when I press right click and then take screenshot. I can see the text so it seems like it is a display problem but this only happens with firefox and not other apps.

Appreciate all the help. I will ask of ubuntu formums next if I don't find a solution here.

Thank you all for reading and answering!

Hi,

I'd like to ask if there are plans in the near future to support FIDO2/WebAuthn authentication for Firefox Accounts.

My question is motivated by the fact that right now there's no way to add a secondary MFA option as backup, and the industry-standard backup codes are very clunky to store safely and use in general.

Losing access to the MFA for an account which hosts all data (and essentially the day to day optimizations of workflows - saved data, bookmarks, etc.) and starting from scratch is a terrifying prospect (I've gone through it before), especially given that Firefox Accounts right now does not have any recovery options after that point.

It would be beneficial if one would be able to add, for instance, a pair of FIDO2 keys for this purpose, or even more broadly speaking any other WebAuthn providers (like Windows Hello). Those would not only provide a better security standard, but also better failover options.

I'm sorry if this is not the right place, but I've not found a dedicated forum for Firefox Accounts issues specifically - please direct me there if there's one.

Best regards, Artur Ciesielski

Is there a way to apply a setting of message list columns to all folders in Thunderbird?

I saw one posting that said you could do it for each account but when I tried that nothing changed. I was able to get it to work with a single folder and it's children.

I'm running Thunderbird 115.2.0 / Windows 10 64bit

I'm having an issue that's related to 115 as I didn't have this problem on 102. This is also not related to gmail, live.com, icloud or other exchange accounts, only my IMAP accounts are having this problem. I have it set to a unified folder and I display both sent and inbox in the thread. Some of the items in the inbox show twice and some, if not most of the items in the sent folder on the thread show twice as well.

I repeatedly been hacked over and over through chrome chrome and Google accounts my passwords have been robbed of me through my primary email account which had both my passwords and yes most of them were like cuz I couldn't remember so so many of them and I no longer have access to why primary account until 24 hours or 48 hours and I know that I'm putting in the right code it keeps sending this error and gives me only multiple not multiple choices on recovery and my phone has since died services since ended and I can't access that phone anymore because I do not want that carrier provider anymore and that's the delivery of laundry because information has been stolen and money has been taken out of mine unauthorized and I'm still having problems with my banking trying to prove my identity because I have to wait to have the US postal mail get the proper documents that because I can't access my primary email which was the one that is shut down I am waiting word on that from Google to Windows verified it's me which I know that her verifies me nonetheless this is going to cost me nothing but problems with Google and I regret to have to put such a bad light on Google because they have been good at a certain aspect but also I've been dealing with Google I've had nothing but hacking incidents because my information has been stolen that I have written down or I was robbed and my phone will take it and they had access to my Google accounts I just want to know how I can recover my problem email so that I can change my phone numbers which I don't have one except it takes free number and I've already used the father to make minutes on that so I basically with or without Wi-Fi

Hello! I’m a bit concerned because firefox has been functioning perfectly fine up to last week, when it started not crashing, but losing the opened sessions. I had many tabs that I would go back to after closing firefox. And then suddenly, when I opened it, there were no tabs at all. This happened again yesterday. And today again. I cannot find the option “restore previous session” like on the computer, so I go to history and manually restore the lost tabs, and of course it isn’t possible to remember everything, so lots are being lost. Could you help me? Many thanks!

When I set up a filter for junk mail, it asks "When do you want to move" I DO NOT want to move it anywhere I want it DELETED. Not move to trash where I have to "run junk filter" again or again delete it. In filter when you select DELETE it should be deleted. Otherwise what is the purpose of "JUNK" filter. Who wants to save junk?

Hi,

regarding vulnerability CVE-2023-3600 when I check advisories it says that version below 115.0.2 ESR are affected. Does that mean that only 115.x versions are affected or all versions are affected like 102.x ?

Regards
