When inserting several larger images (JPEG, 1.4 MB, 1770x2440 px, 300 dpi) directly into the message body (i.e. not as an attachment), Thunderbird crashed and the draft of the written message was not saved.

Is there a limit to the maximum size or format of an image that can be inserted directly into the body of the message?

I am using THB release 140.6.0esr/32-bit

• OS: Debian (trixie)
• Firefox version: 149.0b3

Firefox suddenly crashes without any displayed error. Attempt to troubleshoot it in "safe mode" doesn't help (it also suddenly crashes.

• When I had redirected following output: "Exiting due to channel error."
• after restart, I launched "about:crashes", but there were no entries

Hello -- I'm hoping someone will be able to help!

I'm running Thunderbird 140.9.1esr (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.6466) with an Intel Core i7 processor.

Thunderbird suddenly started crashing repeatedly since yesterday. It ran long enough for me to install version 140.9.1esr, but still crashes repeatedly within a couple minutes of running the application, even if I don't do anything such as trying to reply to a message.

Please see below what I get in the Windows Event Viewer, pretty much the same for each crash. I have also pasted the contents of the following file (the others mentioned above don't exist).

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppHang_thunderbird.exe_5d8d3f9d863d0b28eacbd2a393cdc3d04ef559_c250478b_deffcb88-26f8-4204-bffd-7e6fd5a2ea88

I've gone to Troubleshooting Information, I've "cleared startup cache", I've tired "Troubleshoot Mode" and still Thunderbird crashes. There's nothing in Crash Reports.

Any help would be truly appreciated!

Best regards,

Miles Montelius

I'm trying to use Booking.com to pay online for a holiday and Firefox keeps crashing as soon as I press confirm payment. Have tried several times using 2 different cards. What can I do?

Last time the Fire Fox updates I noticed a weird change with the browser's behavior. the browser keeps crashing just anywhere I go! I keep losing my tabs and got kicked out of the browser losing the webpages where I was! Please fix this problem and for now at the moment I would be ok if I could go back to the last old version before that happen? I appreciate your help guys!

I get the message: We're Sorry Firfox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows. To help us diagnose and fix this problem, you can send us a crash report. I sent the crash report multiple times.

I added a screenshot of my MacBook Air info.

Firefox crashes but I have never seen the crash reporter on my 6.18.10-200.fc43.x86_64 Fedora 43 system with budgie-desktop 10.9.3

Is the crash reporter discontinued?

I keep getting crashes in Android tablet with the current version. Crash reports keep mentioning something to do with Java. This has been a consistent problem for the last few versions. What gives?????

Every time I open Thunderbird, I get the attached pop-up which I can't delete except when I use control alt delete. It always comes back. How can I permanently delete it? Thanks, Mark

I have never deleted so many emails at one time, around 500. Did I exceed the limits of Thunderbird? I cannot log on. Cannot see new emails. I have been on emailsrvr.com and did verify my passwords. Thank You

Good morning

Since this morning (05/03/2026) Thunderbird freezes within a minute or two of opening the program.

Everything in the program freezes up. I cannot even close it.

I am running Version 140.8.0esr on a Windows 10 PC.

Initially I was getting a pop up warning message that ask me to confirm if I wanted to send an email with attachments of over 20 MB. There were 3 or 4 such messages. I had not tried to send such emails.

I checked the Outbox in Local folders for old messages, but it was empty. I also checked the Unsent messages files in Local Folders in the Profile folder. I deleted the Unsent Messages.msf file to no effect. I renamed and replaced the Unsent messages file. Also no change.

I checked for crash logs but there are none.

I have run out of ideas as to what to try next. Does anyone have any advice?

I was attempting to use the Pinetools.com photo editing site on Firefox for Android, and it sent Firefox into a crash loop - I had to uninstall and reinstall. I was able to replicate this one more time. Here's exactly how it went down:

• went to https://pinetools.com/add-noise-image
• uploaded and filtered the photo
• "right"/long-clicked it to open the edit in a new tab, which immediately sent Firefox into a crash loop
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox when it became clear that closing the app wasn't solving the problem
• replicated the above steps, to the same result
• uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox again.

I have uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and reinstalled them both times - is there any chance I could have put my device/info at risk?

I've got constant crashes jn last update Firefox 148.0.2 (Desktop). Often it happens when Google Meets launched in browser and i started switch between tabs or another applications. In Widows logs i found this error: Имя сбойного приложения: firefox.exe, версия: 0.0.0.0, метка времени: 0x00000000 Имя сбойного модуля: unknown, версия: 0.0.0.0, метка времени: 0x00000000 Код исключения: 0xc00000fd Смещение ошибки: 0x00007ffce9d07286 Идентификатор сбойного процесса: 0x0x3F64 Время запуска сбойного приложения: 0x0x1DCB6A7BAE6121F Путь сбойного приложения: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Путь сбойного модуля: unknown Идентификатор отчета: 1a851f87-1b94-4270-8d86-a6850200a62b Полное имя сбойного пакета: Код приложения, связанного со сбойным пакетом:

I want to be able to switch a large chunk of my email archive "off" so it doesn't automatically load when Thunderbird launches (and consequently is invisible to search), but then bring it back online whenever I need to search deeply.

My Local Folders weigh in at 15 Gb. When Thunderbird launches, which currently takes a few minutes, Task Manager shows it takes up 1.8 Gb of memory, which I assume includes Thunderbird code plus an index it builds of all the messages in my folders. Not only does Thunderbird slow to a crawl and sometimes freeze up and crash, but this memory load appears to be slowing down my computer as a whole.

I can remove archives from the picture manually now: I can close Thunderbird, use File Manager to move the folders I want to be invisible to a location outside of Thunderbird's ken, and relaunch Thunderbird. And then reverse the process the next time I need to perform a deeper archive search. The fly in the ointment is that moving all those tens of thousands of EML files takes time and increases the possibility of file damage each time. It seems like moving the river to fill a bucket.

Another less than ideal solution now is to maintain two copies of Thunderbird, one for current and recent mail and another dedicated to archive folders. We'd have to perform a search in both Thunderbirds to be sure we'd found all instances of something.

I'd like to be able to simply toggle a local folder's visibility within the Thunderbird user interface.

Ideally, Thunderbird would be able to remove a folder from memory when I toggled it to invisible, increasing response time on the fly. But even if I had to reboot Thunderbird to get new visibility settings to affect its RAM footprint, being able to easily toggle folder visibility would still be a huge boon.

In the user interface, I imagine Toggle Folder Visibility added to the Tools menu. This function would display a checkbox next to each local folder showing its visibility status: checked for visible (the default), unchecked for hidden. It would be necessary to click Save for Thunderbird to act on changed visibility requests. Subsequently, hidden folders would be shown dimmed in the folder tree and their contents invisible. Searches would skip over them automatically.

Your thoughts?

I had an issue where my browser disappeared. Here are specifics for my installation.

Name Firefox Version 142.0.1 Build ID 20250827004350 Distribution ID raspberrypios User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0 OS Linux 6.12.62+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.12.62-1+rpt1~bookworm (2026-01-19)

I relaunched and then restored previous session. After that, I searched open tabs, but when I selected a tab that was reported to be opened,  it was not restored. I went to troubleshooting mode and it worked fine suggesting some issue with an extension.  What, if any logs could I capture to help debug? thanks
