I logged into my computer this morning and opened up Firefox, went to a online account to login and clicked on passwords from the sidebar and when it opened up it stated that I had no passwords saved and my profile had also been disconnected. I reconnected with my profile and all of my passwords are missing. Where are they?

All of a sudden (after a recent update I suppose) every time I start to type anything in the "search" in the middle of my "home" screen, the curser jumps to the address space in the toolbar. I hate that! I want to continue to use search in the middle of the screen as I have for years since I started using browsers. I've tried looking at the setting for "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar" and it is set to "false" as was recommended in another post some years ago. What do I have to do to revert back to the way it was before this change was forced on me?

Hello Thunderbird Community Help!

After reviewing and implementing all the suggestions on the Mozilla/Thunderbird support pages and on the internet, I still cannot send emails from my office365 mail account from Thunderbird. I was able to send/receive email messages until about 4-5 days ago. From several different accounts on my laptop. And from two different laptops: one using Windows 10 and the other 11. Now, both will receive emails to their inboxes but neither will send a message.

I have the various set-up parameters set as recommended for SMTP using Oauth2, see below and the attached photo:

Outgoing (SMTP): Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Security: STARTTLS Authentication: OAuth2 Username: Your full Office 365 email address

I have deleted the stored password hundreds of times. I have deactivated MFA with Microsoft. I have deleted the e-mail profile in question many times, and have re-created it using automated and/or manual configurations. And I have deleted stored passwords.

I keep getting this message:

"Login to server smtp.office365.com with username [my.email.address] failed." With three button choices: "Retry" "Enter New Password" "Cancel"

No luck with Retry or Enter New Password. They both result in a brief, failed re-attempt to send the email message, and a return to the previous message and choices.

Pressing "Cancel" results in this message: "Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) . Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'."

Additionally I've reset my MS password several times. And MS seemingly is uninterested in having TBird/me login to my office365 account. I just get this response repeated over and over:

"Login to server smtp.office365.com with username [my.email.address] failed." With three button choices: "Retry" "Enter New Password" "Cancel".

I've spent a LOT of time over the past few days and over the weekend looking for a solution, but nothing so far has worked and I'm at my wit's end!!

Any help that you folks far more experienced with TBird can give me to get things working again would be GREATLY appreciated.

Best regards...

I sent another help request on this subject but that too seems to have gone AWOL so I am trying again.

My passwords are being randomly wiped from my PC yet again but this time, although they are still on my Google Pixel 7 phone, Sync is not working for passwords. Strangely however, tabs are being synced.

I have tried every suggestion that I have found but syncing is just not happening.

To re-cap:- Passwords are not being synced from phone to PC Tabs are being synced between phone and PC.

Any suggestions?

Moderator note: This question has been edited to add a link to the previous question.

I made a folder and saved emails in that folder. A few days later they were all gone, empty folder. I followed suggestions on here, did the repair, erased password and replaced it, did the subscribe, and now even the folder is gone. I spent hours trying to research this and repair it and now I have nothing.

Hi there,

if I enter an appointment in my Google-calendar in Thunderbird, it is visible in Google but not in Thunderbird. The problem appeared a few days ago. Newest update is installed.

Where is the catch?

Thanks Stefan

Connection to pop.mail.yahoo.com times out and no emails are downloaded. A new windows appears from https://login.yahoo.com/ that I have never seen before asking for username and password but this returns a "something went wrong" error. Is there an update, or a setting change, that resolves this problem?

Thanks

Frank

Since an update to 148.0 Thunderbird no longer retains the log in details for my various google calendars. Every morning I get a blank diary and need to delete all the calendar details then renew them by adding them in again. It's never done it before (over many years!) so what's going on?

I right click on an Archive subfolder, select Rename and enter the new name. It shows under the new name but is empty containing no messages or subfolders. When I restart Thunderbird it reappears under its old name with all messages and subfolders in place.

Up until a few days ago I was able to preview yahoo mail attachments (e.g. PDFs) before downloading them. I don't know what may have changed, but I don't recall doing anything on my end. Any suggestions or advice on what settings I should consider changing greatly appreciated. M

Hello everyone. This is more of a review, because it is impossible to get help from these forums, effective help (judging by the AI-based answers) And it is impossible to write a review or suggest an idea, since the site does not open, which is ideas. Maybe because I'm from Russia. About six months ago, very serious problems started with the browser. I have Windows 11, a completely modern computer, and Kaspersky anti-virus. And the problem arose like this, from time to time, the browser began to multiply images in the tab, i.e., a random part of the image in the browser appeared instead of another element. And gradually the whole tab turned out to be in the form of a puzzle. This was accompanied by an actual system freeze, treated by logging back into the Windows profile, or rebooting, in the worst case. Simply put, the browser began to produce completely incomprehensible errors. And if it didn't bother me too much at first, I logged back in and that's it, in recent weeks the error has started to occur even during active browser use (it usually started after half an hour of inactivity) In recent weeks, the puzzle in the tab has appeared quite insanely often. By the way, there are no messages on this topic on the Web at all. And it's impossible to take a screenshot of the error, as the system was barely working at the time. As a result, I just reinstalled the browser, once again losing a huge number of open tabs (there are, of course, more than a thousand in the log, but there is no option to Open them) The ways to save sessions from the forum do not work at all, the extension of the Tab session manager did not work

And the review, in fact, was once a beautiful Fox, now it's not even a competitor to chrome. Which allows you to save data and restore it without unnecessary problems. I have installed Mozilla Firefox again, but all data will now be backed up in Chrome. Mozilla Firefox is just for surfing the Net. I would like the developers to think at least a little about user convenience. By making it convenient to work with data backup and recovery. And to make it work at all. By the way, the topics that AI advised me to read in the Firebox problem solving search rarely have more than 52% positive reviews. Is the browser really so poorly made, by modern standards, that almost half of users can't figure it out? And even tech support itself gives out standard tips that can't help.

This is my last message here, there's no point in answering.

I forwarded an email from a different email client to my Thunderbird email client and when I opened that email the left margin was gone. I tried selecting the text and clicking on the right index and nothing happened.

This type thing has happened before when I forward something that comes to my TB account, but usually highlighting the text I add, and clicking on the right index, will move it over a bit.

I would like to know why this is happening, and if I can prevent it or solve it when it does. It looks so unprofessional and sloppy when there is no left margin.

Thanks, NM

Hi! I got white line on the top of any pages. I see it for two my pc in firefox. Another browser has not it. How can i remove this bug? Please look the screenshot.

I've recently come across the issue stated in the title. I've turned the setting off and on again, tried with the setting on and off, and it keeps automatically swapping to the new tab 95% of the time. There are a couple times that it wont swap but it more than certainly happens on the 2nd try. I believe this started happening after update 148 was installed.

Hi there! After transferring Thunderbird from my old to my new computer, the calender does not show any appointment. Even it I set a new one this is not shown. But all appointments still exist because if I search for them the are shown in a list. Is there anyone who has an idea what went wrong? Thank you for any help! Norbert from Berlin

I have installed Windows 11 to replace Windows 10 but my bookmarks in Firefox have disappeared, is there a way to retrieve my bookmarks that always appeared each time I opened Firefox?
