I have been using Thunderbird to access my email at optusnet.com.au mail server. Thunderbird is no longer working with this account - webmail is functioning.

Optus support say they cannot tell me how to configure Thunderbird to access optusnet.com.au email accounts after some changes. They told me to contact Thunderbird support to get correct server configuration settings.

Can you assist with this please. Regards Murray

Two websites I went to using Firefox today displayed the date as 6\18\2025. Today is 6\19\2025. One of them displayed the July 2025 calendar and would not allow me to click back to June. I have two Firefox Extensions on, UBlock Original and Chameleon. Any idea what may be causing this. I'm using a MAC.

For some reason Firefox remembered my phone number and is now trying to use it as a login when I attempt to login or register in any service. I've checked my saved passwords and autofill data, but I cannot find it, there's only usernames and passwords, and I have no saved autofill data, no phone number. Where can I look for it to remove it?

Good morning from germany,

I am a multiple year subscriber and wanted to watch game 6 before going to work (it is around 6 am over here) but the player isn´t running and it states that games can not be played, even the recap doesn´t start. Other videos are running as on youtube and other social networks. I switched a VPN from location germany to location USA to off but nothing works. I am using the newest version of mozilla firefox.

Can you give me some help what I can watch in order to watch the last two Finals games as well?

Thx guys

Hello Team, I installed thunderbird yesterday and so far its looking promising and actually I started to like it. But when on my first email draft I tried to use search and replace (Ctrl + h), I was not getting any highlighted letter on pressing 'Find Next'. When I press on 'Replace' still 'Find Next' button is highlighted and also nothing seems to be replaced. It is only when I close the Find and Replace window I see my changes. I am attaching picture for your reference. If this is not standard feature then please provide support to fix this issue.

I recently updated my browser for android on my tablet and every time I open up the browser to search I now have to open up the settings tab and click the desk top mode because the font is so small at 57 years old I cannot read it!

This is an extra step now for me to have to do each time and a pain in the rump! Please advise on how to disable this nussiance thank you!

Hello, using Windows 10 Version 22H2 (Build 19045.5965), Firefox 139.0.4, Thunderbird 139.0.2, I can drag multiple emails from Thunderbird but not drop them into Firefox (the stop symbol appears and does not let me finish the action). However, dragging and dropping single emails does work. Firefox does not understand the imap address but the drop is registered which is all that is relevant to me. Is this a bug/missing feature in Firefox or a problem with Thunderbird and Firefox on Windows? Or is there a way to do it by simply adjusting (preferrably very few) settings? Dragging and dropping multiple emails using Thunderbird and Firefox on Linux Mint works fine. Dragging and dropping multiple emails from the Windows Explorer to Firefox also works fine. In testing, the issue only arose using Thunderbird + Firefox, Chromium-based browsers also worked fine with Thunderbird. If this is the wrong forum to ask such a question because this should rather be in a bug tracker or something similar, please let me know. If this should be on the Thunderbird thread instead of Firefox, also let me know. Thank you for your help.

I'm trying to create a simple to do list. From the description, it seems that a "task" should work this way. However, when I try to create a task, I get the same options as for an event. And if I continue to fill that in, it shows up in the calendar as an event. What am I missing?

Onboarding with RSS subscriptions for a couple weeks and can't make any sense out of the folder hierarchy structure.

• UI's folder structure & the Subscription settings folder structure screenshots included.
• Folder A seems logically coherent: a "folder full of feeds". Single folder in UI. Multiple feeds (3) show up in the queue
• Folder B structure starts to become much more incoherent

   - Feed's are actually folders now. Sometimes.
       + Feed1 & Feed3 = folders. But UI 'folder' displays just the one feed, as if it was a feed.
       + Feed2 = folder, with the 'actual' feed within it. But then it displays in the exact same way as Feeds 1 and 3
   - seem to have contradictions running in both directions.
       + If they are feeds, is confusing they display with folder icon
       + Not clear why a feed-as-a-folder would display exactly the same as a feed-within-a-folder

• "feed7" situation I can't understand to be anything other than a bug.

   - Subscribed to the feed within folder C. It instead shows up in the UI in Folder B. 
       + Which bafflingly *only* includes feed7, and does not roll up or aggregate any of the feed/folders (whatever they are) within it.

Like the integration of having RSS within Thunderbird, but need some clarification. Docs (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-subscribe-news-feeds-and-blogs#w_folders-and-accounts) were not of use.

Thanks.

I suspect I am PH#€%ed. Am I eligible for a miracle?

S10+ 139.0.4 NOT set up to sync | see attached for specs

In the bookmarks toolbar, I have many folders. I had one named Reference and one named Research. A few weeks ago after a big update my bookmarks had somehow nested multiple copies nested weirdly.

I messaged for help through the Garg app store, and a developer said to please file a ticket with support. I MEANT to do it, but time got away, and I'd already cut the sync and done a lot of cleanup.

I'd removed this phone from sync (no SIM, no cellular connection for the last year, but I use it on Wifi—I carry it around a lot for note-taking when I get brain dumps from people).

I discovered two Reference folders— one in the Toolbar and one in Bookmarks. I moved the one in Bookmarks to the Toolbar, and then moved everything in it into the other Reference folder, which had more, figuring I'd go through and delete the dupes at some point.

I then deleted the empty Reference folder and got the question, "Are you sure you want to delete the selected items [you IDtenT]?"

I confidently clicked yes, not realising my stupid fat finger had clicked on the RESEARCH folder to delete.

I may be able to find some of it to sync or sneaker net from elsewhere but there were swathes of unique addresses in that damn folder. I tried to search bookmarks for the folder and then for any folder. I tried to search "Internal Storage" for any whisper, and Apps which I hardly have any read access to in the file tree without success.

I read the readme called Manage Bookmark Folders in Firefox, plus a couple of hours of additional readme reading and flailing... but I cannot find the answer to a short list of pertinent questions.

1. How does one search/find a bookmark FOLDER, a regular one, which some ahole hasn't deleted?

2. Don't the help articles mention an UNDO option when deleting individual tabs and bookmarks? Sorry, bit of a swivet, but is there an undo for folders? I found no such offering mentioned when deleting an entire folder. I'm assuming no, but... (this might be a good place to mention (while I'm headbanging my desk) that some *other* browsers contain a numeric in their deletion warning, rather than a ubiquitous "these items", whether it's an empty folder or full), hope will spring. Biat£#.

3. Third and final— is there any way for someone without access to costly forensic software to recover this data?

A lifetime of backup, backup, redundant backups is mocking me, so please don't laugh at my self-induced misery. If there's no remedy, give it to me straight.

TIA, Alex

On certain websites , the audio and video still auto play even though the option, "AutoPlay" is blocked for both audio and video.

Please see the attached screenshot which shows that auto play is blocked, it is circled in red. While the video has auto played, circled in orange with a timestamp of 17 seconds being played prior to it being manually stopped.

Please fix this issue.

Will Thunderbird Release make it any easier to migrate Thunderbird from Win10 to Linux (Ubuntu or Mint)... With 200 million PCs becoming obsolete in a few months, I would think Mozilla would have noted that many of us are going to migrate to Linux but moving Thunderbird has been a nightmare (still unsuccessful nightmare). I've followed all the directives and none seem to work... I've been using TBird since it started and have a LOT of emails I'd prefer not to lose so if I could just get my Windows profile to work on Linux it would be great... I know you're busy, but we are facing an Armageddon of sorts out here... Help! Thanks a million cheers pj

Search stopped working on my Windows 11 and Android platforms. I deleted the global database and restarted Thunderbird on Windows 11. Problem solved. Unfortunately, on Android, no joy.
