Hello,

I have TB 140.3.1esr (64-bit) running on Windows 11. everything works as expected, I love it!

I can't find anywhere that allows me to change the folder's (on the left) font type/style; right now it's all bold style. I was able to change the size but not the type/style.

Does anyone know how to do that, please?

Thank you

I've been reading how to move my emails to a new computer. There are two users on the old computer, both with Thunderbird. When moving the email profile to the new computer, does it pick up both users, or does this need to be done separately for each individual Thunderbird email account? If so, I assume I need to set up both users on the new computer before starting the Thunderbird move. Also, how can I be absolutely sure I'm dealing with a recent enough email version on the old computer? My Thunderbird updates frequently but the new one seems to be slightly off.

PLEASE put the format options back into the email task bar! My formatting needs to be done on a message by message basis. It is time consuming and counterproductive to have to go to settings each time. No matter what I tried in settings, I was not able to get Formatting back into the message task bar. At minimum, I need font, size, list and color options back in the message task bar. PLEASE HELP!

When I discover that I have already bookmarked a URL, I want to easily discover in which of my folder(s) I have saved the bookmark. In some cases, the hosting site morphs the bookmarked URL with a redirect, so I am unable to discover the containing folder by browsing to the URL. Sigh. I would also like to discover situations where I have already bookmarked a single URL in several different folders.

I have downloaded the JSON for my bookmarks file and parsed the JSON. I now know that I have 7388 URLs bookmarked which are saved across 111 folders.

I am having trouble discovering the parent/child relationships between the various folders in which the bookmarks are saved. I have several situations where child folders have the same names and can be identified only when the child's parent folder is known.

Undated Firefox documentation at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../BookmarkTreeNode#parentid] suggests that each node in the bookmark tree should have a parentid and an index. I see an index but I do not see a parentid. I do see a GUID field. I have seen comments suggesting that parentid has been replaced by GUID.

But the values I see (GUID=FqNNI0k91ZjW, for example) do not make sense and have no connection to the ID fields (ID=2658, for example).

Can anyone help me make sense of the GUID values I am seeing? Are GUIDs now being hashed for some reason?

I have been using Thunderbird for a few months and changed my Google Password(even though Im not quite sure if the error wasnt already occuring before that), but now when I go on Thunderbird it gives me a popup window that says "Enter credentials for name@gmail.com on imap.gmail.com". Theres a field for the email-adress, but when I click "Next" theres the following error: "400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know."

These are the things I tried: Entering the old or new Password. Checked if the config is set to OAuth2 in both incoming and outgoing servers and enabled on Gmail-Account. Deleted and tried to (unsuccessfully) reregister my Thunderbird-Account. The same error pops up when it checks my password after the configuration.

I dont know if the password change is actually the cause, since I think I remember the error message appearing earlier today, before I changed the password, but Im not sure. Also, I have another account linked to my Thunderbird, with no changed credentials, and while there is no similar error message, thunderbird suddenly also has problems connecting to it and asks to retry a few times (3-4) before actually connecting everytime I open it.

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.

Im experiencing crashes in and out of troubleshoot mode, often several in a row. The drivers on my device have no futher updates and Im unsure what to do. Here are the last 3 Report IDs bp-5693aaa5-ae91-4248-b2f6-df48b0251006 bp-9b709932-2dc8-4889-b985-8d53f0251004 bp-b61474f8-d4cd-4299-9566-f2ac10250930

I would rather not redownload google chrome. Please help, thanks.

I suddenly cannot send e-mails, as an alert appears that says I have to change my message in that what I am sending might be a scam or questionable, which it never is. Also, all of my new e-mails are going to "Archive" and always has gone into my InBox directly, until now. What is going on, and how can I change it?

Hi, Unfortunately, I am a non-tech person and I am trying to install Thunderbird emails on my Mac Book. I have a thunderbird account which I normally access on desktop, however that will soon be obsolete so want to access them from my Mac Book, but I am really struggling to access and download everything. Please help a damsel in distress

Dear Thunderbird Support Team,

I am reaching out for assistance with opening .tmp files that originate from Mozilla Thunderbird. These files are approximately 650MB in size and contain copies of my text messages, which I would like to recover.

Unfortunately, I no longer have Mozilla Thunderbird installed, and the .tmp files do not open in any other text editor. I would appreciate any guidance or help in retrieving the contents of these files, as it is crucial for me to access these messages.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

cannot search a site in the US when I'm in Mx. I DO NOT want the MX site. I want the US site and somthing keeps preventing me from doing so. I posted this previously and got answers that make no sense to me. Dont refer me to articles, they make no sense and those directions never work anyway. How can I get a real person to chat or talk to me to fix this or do I just need to use a different search engine?

how do i block my location? Nothing seems to work. I want to search a site in another country but keep being directed to the site in the country I am in. I dont want to look at that site. I want the site in different country but keep being bounced to the current country site. I getting pissed

Hi I have a firefox account which I use on 2 macs and a PC as well as an android phone. For the past few months non of my book marks, passwords etc are being synced across the system and I have now completely different book marks on different devises. I have synced each computer multiple times without effect. This used to work perfectly before I changed my password a few months back. It is now reaching a point that firefox is no longer usable for me?? Thanks for your help

I am attempting to set up Thunderbird on my desktop. I sign in and only very old email load. I am not sure how to proceed. Outlook is online only now, I need Thunderbird so that I can scan to email.
