I cannot use Thunderbird to work at all with Yahoo, though it does work with yahoo. FWIW, Yahoo does work with Firefox.

Thunderbird used to work, maybe several weeks ago. When I tried to set it up again, it kept asking me to enter my pin, and it said I could reset my pin under sign in options, but there is no place I could find sign in options.

I deleted my yahoo account from Thunderbird, then tried to add a new account for Yahoo.

Bookmarks won't stay open

I've always kept my bookmarks open on the left side as I reference them frequently. Now they close when Firefox closes. I find this to be very irritating.

Clicking a link in Thunderbird opens blank tab/window in Firefox, but not in Chromium

I dual boot two Linux OSes (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Pop!OS). They both share the same ~/.mozilla/firefox and ~/.thunderbird directories. In Pop, clicking a link in a message opens up a new tab in Firefox. Then I boot Tumbleweed, where the same versions (128 esr, 138.0 release channel) of both clients are installed. Now if I click the "get help" F1 or any https link in TB, a new window opens with "target=_top" rather than "target=_blank". So basically have to copy/paste links into a new tab manually, *but* only in the Tumbleweed instance.

I installed Chromium and set it as default browser. Guess what? Works just great! I guess I could just live with that configuration, only I'd like Firefox to be my default browser. What could I do? I tried all the steps in [guide] and would appreciate ideas or guidance from this forum.

Thanks! Alex

Hello, when opening a video on YouTube in full-screen mode, the horizontal scroll bar becomes visible if you start moving the mouse cursor or scrolling. This doesn't happen in other Chromium-based browsers, where the scroll bar is always hidden (in full-screen mode). I tried deleting all browser data, but it didn't change the situation, and I couldn't find any solutions on the forums either. This looks very unattractive and ruins the video immersion. I hope you can help me resolve this issue or release an update that fixes it.

Thank you!

I recently converted from Outlook to Thunderbird and use a Local Folder to maintain most of my emails. Everything seemed to run well for the first few days, but then I realized most emails being automatically copied by filters are showing up 2 blank messages (same subject/date/time/etc.). I get the occasional 12/31/1969 email as well. Oddly, when I run the filters manually, the process works flawlessly and have never resulted in duplicated blank messages or a 1969 email.

Any opinions on why an automatically-ran filter corrupts most emails but manual runs are fine? The behavior is bad enough I'm considering switching back to Outlook. This is such a basic function it causes me doubt in Thunderbird's ability to safely manage my emails.

Notes: - Using Proton Mail Bridge - Latest Thunderbird/latest Proton Mail Bridge with no add-ons or extensions - Repairing or compacting the associated Local Folder doesn't fix any message. The only 'fix' is to manually re-copy the affected message from my server, then delete the corrupt copies. - The filters are set to run with new email - Each filter copies the message to the Local Folder, then moves the message to the server's Trash. This two-step action is because Proton Mail Bridge does not allow third-party clients to move messages out of the server--if you do this, it orphans the email in their All Mail folder and become a mess to clean up. - After extensive research, I thought my folders were corrupt so I completely rebuilt the Local Folder structure. All messages were moved into new folders and the original folders were deleted. - Each folder is a few hundred MB, total Local Folder size is less than 7GB

Problem: I want to forward a received email to a list I have made. The list is located in my address book. First I click "forward" on the email in question, which is now waiting for addresses. Then I highlight each entry in the list I want to forward the email to. When I click "write", however, a new email appears and the email I want to forward is not included. Perhaps I should create an email containing the list first and then try to attach the email I want to forward, but that isn't obvious to me. It seems to me that in the past I could mark an email to be forwarded, then go to the address book, right click on the title of the list and then click "BCC". But this option seems to be missing. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Jack
