TB has been working well for a long time - but it seems since updating to v128.1.0esr I can no longer send emails from my Gmail accounts. I can send emails with my Yahoo email account however. So the issue is specific to Gmail. Incoming mail works - only sending emails is the issue (SMTP).

I've attached files of the outgoing warning messages and TB SMTP settings. FYI - I have three Gmail accounts and one Yahoo account. When I press the "Enter New Password" button in the "Login to account Gmail Account failed" dialog box, nothing happens - the screen quickly blinks.

What's interesting, is the failed email is saved in the Drafts folder with Gmail online. In other words, if I login to Gmail via a web browser, the message is saved in the Drafts folder and I can send it from the web browser Gmail account - but not from TB. Any help would be appreciated. I did make $$ Donation to TB awhile back.

I am running Linux Mint 19 and when I tried to activate the container extension some options were not selectable and a msg appeared at the top of my settings: "Your browser is being managed by your organization" I am a home user and never had anything to do with any corporate PC. The policy it lists is: disableappupdate true. Everything I see in the help database for this pblm pertains to Windows. As I said above I am running linux mint.

what is going on here???

Hi folks I can't login to my Corel.com account on Firefox but I can with Chrome. Can anyone figure out how I can overcome this with Firefox?

Since the auto-update to version 128.0.3 (64-bit) two weeks ago, my Firefox crashes as soon as I switch over to a different programme. I am on Windows 10. Whenever I try to re-open the programme, I get the error message that Firefox is already running and if I want to restart or quit. Can you please deploy a fix for this? Thank you.

Twitch, Youtube Live, Netflix, Kick... it seems any live streaming platform cannot play. I am running Linux Mint 21.3, Kernel 5.15.0. They work on a different browsers, they all also work on Firefox my laptop, which is also on the same OS and Kernel.

I have tried everything: installed ffmpeg, installed unrestricted ubuntu codecs, refreshed firefox (twice), uninstalled/reinstalled firefox, ive tried without extensions, yet nothing.

Cant for the life of me figure it out, im not sure if its my PC or Firefox on this machine.

It was barely noticable, but SERVER NAME in Server Settings was the same for both accounts. These were Yahoo IMAP accounts. Each account had its own folder in Users / ....... / ImapMail, but both accounts were pointing to one folder. Corrected this in the SERVER NAME field in Server Settings (see image)

"SHOULD" solve the issue .......... particulary it is THE ONLY item I can find that was not normal.

When I try to open Thunderbird, a message pops up that says the application had a problem and crashed. It also says that the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for the crash. It then says "Details: The application did not identify itself."

What do I do to fix this?

Thank you.

Firefox locking up today 07/31/2024 - won't compose send email in Yahoo/AT&T; only loads half a page of AOL News. Yes, I've done a restart. Chrome seems not to have this issue.

After 129.0 update, Hulu streaming quit working. I have other streaming services that still work fine. I tried it on older version of Firefox 115.14.0esr (64bit) (old pc Win 8.1) and it works fine there. Can I go back to an older version of Firefox or is this a known issue with update?

This is the issue, Hulu website loads and allows you to log in. When you try to stream a show, it plays a commercial then freezes.

I use the latest Thunderbird on the latest (Sonoma) MacOS. Whichever filelink service I try to add (in Settings > Composition > Attachments) that service appears with an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle (and I am unable to send links to large files). I thought that for Dropbox and for Box that might have been as a result of the limited file sizes allowed to be sent using my free accounts. However, for Thunderbird Send, WebDAV and *cloud after clicking "Add to Thunderbird" and then clicking "Add" to provide permissions I also get the same exclamation mark error indication. (refer image 1)

Perhaps the problem is related to selecting "Create link for Send service instance" (refer image 2) - I can't make the selection stick - when I close the tab and reopen it, that option is unselected.

What am I doing wrong or not doing? Help appreciated.

On several site there's a greyed out box top right, which disables anything it covers, can't be got rid of, and makes using Firefox for these sites impossible. Help, please?? Thank you! (I'm having to use Chrome...)

OK, this is really complicated, and involves trying to rescue an old Eudora account to Thunderbird. If anyone wants the whole gory story, please ask and I'll tell all. ( I used Eudora Mailbox Cleaner and Eudora Rescue.) But the simple question is: is it possible to import a Thunderbird profile created on a Mac into a Thunderbird program on a PC? Thanks for any help.

For some while I've had a Windows 10 desktop and a Windows 10 laptop. I used to keep my mail using Thunderbird in sync on these two machines by just copying the profiles from one to the other. Just recently the laptop stopped working so I got another, which came with Windows 11. I duly installed Thunderbird on that and copied the profiles from my desktop to it, and it happily worked. However when I copied the profiles back from the laptop to the desktop Thunderbird said something like "you've started an old version of Thunderbird with new profiles - you'll have to set it all up again." Is that true? Is there a version of Thunderbird for Windows 10 which will acccept the profiles from the Windows 11 version? Is there some routine that will convert the Windows 11 format profiles etc to the format used by the Windows 10 version? When I look at Apps & features in Settings on Windows 10 it says that Thunderbird is "Mozilla Thunderbird (x86 en-GB) 115.13.0" Help About on Thunderbird on Windows 11 says it is 128.0.1csr (64-bit) Thank you Regards Alan Sandell

Two days ago my Thunderbird installation stopped being able to access my Gmail account. Everything was working fine up until then. Now I get a notice to allow Thunderbird to access Gmail, I click 'Allow' and it fails to authenticate. Collecting mail from my other non-Gmail accounts is unaffected and works fine.

I see these permission approvals are triggering email alerts to my backup Gmail account for this one re: "A new sign-in on Windows" and I am consistently clicking "Yes it was me'" with no effect. I have not done anything to block this activity, and I have no problem logging into this Gmail account from any web browser using the same credentials I am using with Thunderbird ... and which were already in place when this started happening 2 days ago.

I checked in Thunderbird Settings > Privacy & Security and cookies are being accepted, and I can see the cookies in the list.

I have tried deleting the saved (unchanged) password, removing the cookies, and even removing the account and setting it up again, with no joy.

When re-setting up the account this morning, the account creation does not complete and I am receiving this notice: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." (see attached screenshot)

The username and password were (a) unchanged from 3 days ago when this worked fine and (2) confirmed as I can log in to that Gmail account just fine with any web browser using the same credentials, even with incognito browser.

Thinking maybe the Thunderbird auto-detected configuration is incorrect, I changed the IMAP Connection Secutiry setting for the account from SSL/TLS to STARTTLS where it took about 2 minutes on the Checking Password stage and ultimately failed with the same error message.

TIA for any assistance with being able to use Thunderbird once again to work with this Gmail account.

Strangely, I can't figure out how to add to someone else's post if it doesn't already have replies so I'm having to start my own thread. Anyway...

Thunderbird on my system is 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and a day or two ago it updated itself to version 115.10.1. Since then it's been slow at sending emails, receiving emails, applying filters and pretty much everything else. Is this being worked on? I saw a couple of similar reports from other people here but like I said, I can't add a reply to them.

And if it's not known about or being worked on, is there some way I can roll back an update?

Good day. i have the 115.13.0 (64-bit) version of Thunderbird installed on a Windows 10 computer. It keeps crashing whenever i try to save an attachment from an email or include an attachment to an email. Basically, whenever the dialog box opens to save an attachment or select a file to attach, Thunderbird crashes.

i had a similar issue with Firefox. That problem went away when i uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions). However the problem with Thunderbird persists.

Here are the last six Crash Reports IDs: bp-53c587b1-27a7-4db5-8e2b-225040240806 8/6/2024, 2:00 PM bp-903b1358-8fd4-43fe-af2c-088d20240806 8/6/2024, 1:52 PM bp-392b62dd-6b13-4df0-b0e5-2b6dc0240803 8/2/2024, 6:32 PM bp-1ab3a2d4-4335-40a7-a2f4-e54a80240726 7/26/2024, 11:55 AM bp-f5a69dc1-ca42-4bd3-b8a4-4e2820240715 7/14/2024, 7:24 PM bp-2c81780c-352e-4c95-820f-e73080240713 7/12/2024, 6:29 PM

Please advise

Hi all,

I see lots of posts about emails disappearing but none exactly fit my situation.

I find messages disappearing especially when I move them to another folder. My config is TB115.10.1 Been using TB for countless years as an excellent app. After update 115 it has turned into a real mess for me. Always been POP accounts. Gmail is the server. All mail left on the server unless I delete it. I create a new POP account every year to keep track of emails by year. Have lots of folders to place the inbox messages.

For about a week now, when I mark as read and move a message to a folder. Say Paid" or "Cars", the message is no longer visible or selectable. I have read/unread/folder size turned on under my Inbox. So I know the missing messages are there in the folder but I cannot see them or select them. Some of the folders contents have completely disappeared. This a disaster for me. Has just started happening but was working fine before this TB update. Never happened before.

I will appreciate someones kind help.

Hello everyone, I have stored several e-mail addresses for most of my contacts (private address, business address, etc.) and now I want to create mailing lists that use different addresses of those contacts for different uses. But even if I add a specific address of a contact in a mailing list the address is altered to the address that ist marked as standard for this contact on saving the mailing list. So all mailing lists end up with the same addresses for the same contacts instead of different ones. Is that a intended behavour? Or in other words: mailing lists can solely contain addresses marked as 'standard'. It is not possible to use a 'alternative' e-mail address in a mailing list. I hope there is a way to achieve this which I haven't found so far. Kind regards, Peter

This [previous question] previous question is archived, but it exactly describes and explains the problem: when only pinned tabs are open when Firefox closes, then on startup - when restoring the previous session is enabled - the previous session is restored and a new tab is created. This is annoying, so I "fixed" it:

https://gist.github.com/adeilt/6ed372f4d8a7c54f9df49a3ca1adc4b2

That's a gist of an html file that will automatically close the tab it's in. It does involve using about:config, so use appropriate caution. Just set that to be your "homepage" in the Firefox settings and the new tab will likely disappear before you even notice it. You can tweak the delay if it's not fast enough or you want to savor the impending doom of the offending tab.  :)
