The problem occurs when a site refers users to a Google sign-in page. You enter your email, click the "Next" button, and nothing happens. This has been happening for at least the last 60 days. I see many complaints of this issue across various forums on the web. Additionally, within the same time frame, I've noted excessive 'clocking' and delayed screen response when accessing many sites via Firefox. Recently, I've had to resort to using Edge due to the number of sign-in issues and there's never an issue. Respectfully, please do not respond with, "Clear your cache" and other common suggestions. They don't work, I've already done it. This is a Firefox issue that needs correcting.

It's very odd. Normally moving an email, say from the Inbox to the relevant year's archive, takes "no time at all".

Which is true for all the mailboxes shown on the attached screenshot, EXCEPT for the four at the bottom. Moving even one message from Inbox to Yiddish can take ten seconds or longer (with the dreaded "Not Responding" occasionally). Moving something in the opposite direction is also screwy, only from those four.

I had thought that it was because they're rather large. This first started when there were just Yiddish and MSW, and I split off most of the earlier years into the archives shown. To no avail.

It's only an annoyance, but I'm puzzled about how such a thing could happen.

Also very slow tagging or untagging a message just in those mailboxes.

I am using Firefox on Linux Ubuntu 26.04. I normally work with multiple tabs. Then I quit Firefox with all tabs open at the point of quitting. Some times on the rare occasion there can be a forced quit due to some issues. In my settings I have configured it not to open the previous tabs. In fact I want a blank page. But whenever I reopen Firefox, it opens those tabs and tries to reload which is annoying. Some of these pages take a long time to reload, and why would I want to look at tabs which I already have read. Or if it crashes due to some website on a tab why reopen something that crashed in the place ? Can you fix this. Thanks.

I was having trouble with Thunderbird outgoing mail. I changed some settings and it still didn't work. I tried to log in to Thunderbird and now cannot log in at all. I have 25 years worth of email in this account!

My Dell Precision Laptop from 2019 runs a frequently updated Ubuntu 24.04. About one or two weeks ago, after one of the latest Firefox updates, i noticed that video streaming produces rectangular flickering in rapid sweeps. ( Also fast scrolling large text websites produces similar flickering, I think I would have noticed it before...) . If you detected it once, you see it always again... :-( First I fiddled around with the nvidia settings because the driver was also recently updated, without much success. Playing locally stored videos, e.g. with VLC media player, still works fine, so the nvidia driver is not the problem i think. Yesterday I installed Chromium and the video performance is fine! As good as with firefox some weeks ago! So it must be one of the latest updates, that causes the problem. Generally I like firefox more than chromium. I like the control you have, e.g. via Add ons.. So I hope that the firefox performance will increase again... Thank you for firefox! Florian Mengedoht

Cannot send or receive email all of sudden in Thunderbird. When I the click the messages icon, nothing happens, and I get "Could not connect to server mail.twc.com; the connection was refused". When trying to send a m,message I get "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." No settings were changed and everything was fine when I put the computer to sleep. This happens on both a Win 7 and 11 machine Email is a Time Warner (now Spectrum) Road Runner account (twc.com). Spent an hour with Spectrum, and they say this is a third party (Thunderbird) issue. A friend has the same setup, and is having the same problems that started at the same time. Win 11 version 150.02 Win 7 115.18.0 (latest available for win 7)

Appreciate any help....

156.0.1 RSS subscriptions function normally Clicking on "Manage Subscriptions" button in "Account Settings - RSS" does nothing. Running in Troubleshooting Mode doesn't help.

After several hours of trying to figure out why a folder didn't show certain messages, I realised that I had selected a Custom View a few days ago and it still applied quietly when I selected that folder. This is not the first time I fall for it. Is there a way TB would show that a Custom View filtered out some of the messages? Eg the Custom View button could be depressed, or the background in the messages pane would be different, or something. As it is now, I think I won't use the feature again and save myself hours of scratching my head in the future.

When I try to backup my browser by going to settings, accounts/sync, press "Turn on backup", select a file, then press "Turn on backup" it gives me the error "We couldn't access your backup folder. Try picking a new location". I've tried on both librewolf (my default browser) and default firefox. I've tried many different directories, including ~/bkp/librewolf, ~, ~/.config/librewolf/librewolf/ke7g2g68.default-default/sessionstore-backups, ~/.config/mozilla/firefox/67ggi7is.default-release-1790353084599 ~/.config/mozilla/firefox/97cgns5q.default-release, ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/67ggi7is.default-release-1790353084599, etc. All of them give the same error. I've heard that I'm not supposed to run browsers with sudo privileges so I haven't done that. I've never intentionally backed up my files as far as I can remember, so I don't know if this is a recent thing or not, sorry.

Hallo Kundenservice, ich mein Betriebssytem Windows 10 Pro neu Installiert. Bevor ich das gemacht habe ich das Profil das dort unter User\AppData\Roming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles gespeichert warkomplett auf einen USB-Stick gespeichert. Nun habe ich Probleme dieses Profil wiederherzustellen. Ich habe zwar ein Konto bei Ihnen, und aus den ganzen Anleitungen zur Wiederherstellung von Profilen werde ich leider nicht schlau, wie ich ein gespeichertes Profil wiederherstellen kann. Können Sie mir wenn möglich eine schritt für Schrittanleitung geben wie diese Problem beheben kann? Für eine schnelle Rückmeldung wäre ich dankbar.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
