I’m currently facing a very frustrating issue with Firefox. I have been using Firefox for many years, and it is my favorite and most comfortable web browser for my day-to-day work. I rely on it heavily as all my bookmarks and other important details are saved there.

However, over the past few weeks, Firefox has been crashing more than 10 times a day. I have already tried all the troubleshooting steps available in the forums and through AI support, but none of them have resolved the issue. I also tried installing and using the Firefox Beta version, but the problem still persists.

In our environment, other users and devices are not experiencing this issue, so it does not appear to be related to internal firewall or antivirus restrictions.

Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue? I am attaching the error screen that appears after the crash along with the crash report for you

Since the up date my yahoo and AOL account want me to enter the password. When i do it is not accepted. It is correct since i tried it on a friends computer. I tried to use forgot password and it says I should enable java script and turn off ad blockers. I cannot do this in Firefox nor do I think it will help.

Believe my T-bird account has somehow been corrupted. Takes forever to load on PC and always puts new emails in Trash folder. Often does not accept correct password. If I save / backup PROFILE, uninstall T-Bird and delete any Thunderbird folders on PC, if I restore per backup, will I be restoring the corrupted app. Don't want to loose email addresses, thousands of emails and email folder structure. Will a restore work? Thank you. Greg D

PS Version of T-Bird on laptop still puts all new email in Trash, but loads much more quickly, etc.

Hi!

I'm losing my mind by the fact that you can't hold to scroll or click to toggle scroll with MMB in Thunderbird, instead it opens a new tab which is completely useless to me since I share inbox and mail reader in one screen.

Is there any way to fix or change this?

If not I'd really like to request this as an option or feature.

Normally, I can right click and tell Thunderbird that this is NOT junk, however, when I do this, these emails go back into the inbox and virtually instantly return to junk.

This is from anyone's email address that arrives from one particular website: @legacydigitalagency.com

I haven't come across this issue since I started using Thunderbird 20+ years ago.

I am using Firefox on Windows 11, in the process of switching from Chrome.

I run Cockpit (https://cockpit-project.org/) on web servers that I manage, and when I log into it on Firefox the screen flickers constantly, making it unusable.

There is no issue with any other web sites I have visited, and I can still use Cockpit when in Chrome. So ay suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with Cockpit and Firefox?

Good afternoon.

When I receive emails such as password resets, or email verifications, etc., they always contain a line such as "click the link to verify your email", and they never display correctly like they do in other email programs, and I have to literally copy and paste the link in a web browser manually.

Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

I have used Thunderbird for many years and and have loved it. However, recently my "Local Folders Inbox" have been extremely slow (deleting emails, reviewing an email, etc.). I have tried every suggestion that I have found without any change: reducing emails in the folder (down to about 75 remaining), compacting and repairing the folder, deleting and rebuilding all of the msf files and global database, disabling all addons, empty trash and junk, clear the cache, disable hardware acceleration, exclusion in antivirus, etc. It has become very frustrating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

For 2 years have been trying to get Thunderbird to access my mail from The Messaging Co. My old Win 10 laptop has no problem. My new win 11 laptop won't. I have configured the servers over and over but everytime I try to access Thunderbird I get "could not connect to mail server: the connection was refused". Who is refusing the connection? And why? I have re-downloaded Thunderbird several times but the problem persists. I am using Firefox. And using the in and out servers as per my win 10 laptop.

In our organization we have moved from an on-premise mail server to M365. We've also added our new EWS-based accounts to Thunderbird. Since there are a large number of users with a significant amount of older mails they want to have access to, they have been asking how they could upload them to EWS now.

From the looks of it, using TB one can either drag and drop messages from the local folders to EWS. Would message copy/move from the local folders be faster if the EWS account was setup over IMAP, instead of over EWS? If so, we could setup another account corresponding to the same EWS identity, but over IMAP, just for the purposes of transferring messages faster.

Thanks in advance for any information provided.

I got a new computer, and after installing Thunderbird, it took forever to get it set up with the information from my old computer. Now, the unified folders aren't working. All of my mail is going into each account's inbox. There's no option to choose anything on the unified inbox, only the same thing as the other inboxes have. Help, please!

This happens each time I open up T-Bird. Somtimes it is Yahoo.mail, sometimes it prompts to log onto aol.mail.com.

How can this be stopped?

desktop Win11 pro Thunderbird 148.0 (64-bit)

Created new yahoo mail IMAP (PKCE) account using Thunderbird account creation. All seemed to work well. However, new account does not receive mail from "some" other IMAP and POP accounts in testing, including from TB Pro. Strangely, mail sent from oldest POP accounts works. Mail from newer POP gmail and TBPro accounts is not received. TB 149.0b1 Windows 11

So I have a couple of accounts that do this and not on others (Same domain and server) When the messages come through they are doubled like they are on a thread, but the same exact message. All settings in Thunderbird and the server email config are the same for all addresses,. I have three out of ten that do this for some odd reason.

On my PC - Initial problem was T-bird took forever to load and virtually all new msgs went to TRASH and I had to move to IN-Box. Per help from David - Saved off profile, and reinstalled thunderbird from thunderbird.net. No change. Then UNINSTALLED T-Bird (profile still intact). Now just attempts to open "Looking up imap.comcast.net", but won't open/connect and to close the app I must use WIN Task Master. Can't get to any msgs, etc. Also, in the past when I was able to open, the banner or bar at the top of the page had hundreds of email icons. I sometime have over 1000 emails in my in-box!! I have years worth of emails in folders on T-Bird which I don't want to loose. Help. Thank you. I have a "working" version (with the "trash" and slow loading issue per above) on my laptop, so I can access suggestions on that version of T-Bird. You could also send any suggestions to x@gmail.com

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to na.nikken.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.

The site is ok when I open on another window and even on Google which I don't like.
