Fox version 150.0 is consuming all available system RAM after the latest update. What's going on? I've been using this browser for years, and this is the first time I've encountered such problems! The tips in optimization guide aren't helping!

I've been using TB for years. Lately I can be browsing the Inbox when the contents will disappear and I get a message saying something like no messages found. After about 30 seconds the Inbox is displayed again.

TB never used to do this and it is similar to Firefox refreshing the screen which it also never used to do this.

Also how do I get from the Beta version to the standard version?

When creating a new email and entering a recipient address, Thunderbird automatically suggests addresses after typing a few characters. However, in my case the auto-complete suggestions take about 10 seconds to appear after I start typing.

I am using Thunderbird version 149.0.1. My settings under Settings → Composition → Addressing are as follows:

☑ Local Address Books ☐ LDAP Server ☑ Automatically add outgoing recipients to: Collected Addresses Initial Directory for Address Book: Last Used Directory

I would like to understand what kind of search Thunderbird performs when auto-completing email addresses.

Also, if anyone has experienced the same issue, how did you resolve it?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

During most attempts to move emails to folders in Thunderbird, the operation does not occur for five to ten seconds. Often, I will see a "systems busy" circle during the operation. This has been going on for weeks...

It's a big time waster. I can't do anything else in Thunderbird until the "Move" has been completed.

時間がかかり鈍い作業 ・メールのダウンロードに時間がかかる ・ダウンロードされ受信箱に入ったメールを読もうとすると、初めて開ける場合、クリックした時点での反応が鈍く開くまでに時間がかかる ・添付資料の削除に時間がかかる ・受信箱からフォルダーへの移動

これまでと同じ ・一度フォルダーに分類されたメールは、これまで通りサクサクと開いたり削除したりできる

My problem may not be from the same cause, but I'm experiencing the same issue. Ever since my MacBook M3 Max updated to Tahoe, Firefox has been draining my battery incredibly fast. Before Tahoe, I could count on 8-9 hours of constant work with mixed use of higher processing work. Now, I'm lucky to get 4 hours of light browsing. Before I totally blame Apple, has anyone else experienced a recent shift?

Hello on my Samsung S24 synchronisation of email became very slow for a few days. I trier to réinstall TB but it did'nt change anything. Do you please have any idea where could be the bug and the way to fix it ?

Since the latest update, the uploading of new emails from the server can take minutes to hours. I know the emails are on the server, because I can see them by logging onto my email client on my iPad. Why has Thunderbird suddenly become very frustrating to use? An example which just happened - I was required to enter a 6 digit code to be able to confirm my account before I could submit this question. I waited, and waited and waited to see this code in my Inbox. Finally I went to my iPad to get the code, so I could submit this question. It was there as I expected, but not in my Thunderbird Inbox for another 10 minutes. This is happening far too often, so I am contemplating finding another email program which is not so frustrating.

Once I delete a message, T-bird (147.0.4 on W11 Pro) begins compacting, and then I'm stuck until it's done. This is new behavior. Previously the system compacted occasionally, but now it's every single time I delete something from the inbox (which happens frequently during the day, of course, sigh).

Anyway, many thanks in advance for help/guidance and if it matters, I'm one of those who contributes monetarily for use versus freeloading. Also, no, we don't believe updating to the latest version is productive for our situation so I hope this is not the solutuion. -- Regards,

My email is very slow since I moved it to my new Dell laptop, sending, reading new messages, deleting and moving, NOT old messages. It was also slow on my old tower PC, but not this slow. I might leave Thunderbird if this continues. Not worth my time. Thank you!

Dlaczego FIREFOX spowalnia i często karty się samoczynnie przeładowują? Nie zdążysz jednego artykułu przeczytać i się wszystko odświeża, cały czas się odświeża. Na konkurencyjnych przeglądarkach MICROSOFT EDGE i AVG SECURE BROWSTER cały czas działające odświeżanie nie występuje !!!!!

Hello everyone. Thanks for all your support.

A few weeks ago I started noticing a pop up window was occurring every (approx) 5 minutes in Thunderbird suggesting that I run a compact to save 992MB. I assumed this would stop happening after a few weeks and a few updates from Mozilla, but the problem has remained, so I'm coming here to ask about it.

Context: I'm on Windows 11. I have multiple email accounts that my Thunderbird reaches out to. At least one of the accounts is retired so reaching out to its historical server fails.

Reproducing: For me to reproduce it, I run the compact. Quit Thunderbird. Start Thunderbird. It reports 992MB can be freed. I let it compact. The main inbox disappears and reappears. I wait a few seconds and restart Thunderbird. It again tells me that it can save 992MB by running a compact.

What I've tried: I've tried repair on the inbox folder of the account I'm typically in. That didn't help. I have many other folders across many accounts and not tried to repair any other folders. I've searched the Mozilla help system.

Logs: It seems to me that a compact is probably failing but I don't know where to look for evidence of the failure.

henn typing website keeps going to about blank/ crashes all time/ locks up unable to open sites like home depot/autozone xtra slow respondes. must be time to use something else firefox has gotten unusable

Whenever I start Thunderbird, I get messages such as that some mailboxes cannot be compacted and some filtering cannot be done "because another operation is in progress". Why is this? How can I prevent it? It is a nuisance having to go and chase down and correct the filtering that has not taken place.
