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.

I WAS ON A SITE AND IT BROUGHT UP THE COOKIE PAGE FOR FIREFOX TO PROTECT ME FROM PEOPLE OR COMPANIES FROM TRACKING MY BROWSING AND I COULD NOT GET BACK TO MY PURCHASE PAGE APP ACOOUNT I WAS ON. SO WHAT HAPPEN & WHY DID THIS COME UP?

After installing upgrade to 139.0.2, POP downloads failed. Last was on 6/19/2025 at 8:19PM. I deleted both saved passwords.. Went to AOL and generated a new APP password but there was no way to upgrade to it. I sent a test message to myself [ smtp] and AOL logged me in and TB generated the saved password oauth://login.aol.com (mail-w).

However even with shutdown TB and restart, there was no request for a POP password [ such as the new AOL APP generated one. What should I do? Is this a bug? I can read and use AOL mail on my browser [EDGE]. LKint@verizon.net

I am running Firefox on Linux. Desktop environment is KDE. Compositor is Wayland. I have a 11th Gen Intel Tiger lake Core i3 with integrated Intel UHD Graphics GPU. I do not have a eGPU or any other GPU apart from the integrated Intel UHD Graphics GPU. Intel drivers are installed and are being used. Please see the details given below from about:support for more details. What I have observed that Hardware acceleration, specifically WEBRENDER_COMPOSITOR, WEBRENDER_SHADER_CACHE and WEBRENDER_DCOMP_PRESENT are disabled. The details are given below.

I have enabled the force hardware acceleration too by setting the property media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled to true. But still the above three hardware acceleration are still not available.

How can I get these enabled?

I'm still unable to fix ongoing e-mail Download into my Thunderbird from my yahoo.com acc on My Desktop or Laptop. I've re-set Password on both Yahoo & Thunderbird ...

On checking my Thunderbird e-mail I get these error messages:

Mozilla Thunderbird ESR Authentication failure while connecting to server pop.mail.yahoo.com

Mozilla Thunderbird ESR Thunderbird Connection to server pop.mail.yahoo.com timed out

I've had Thunderbird for well over 10 yrs in US & now in the UK, no problem. The only recent changes I've done is to change my Yahoo.com Password & updated it on Thunderbird. Once that was done Thunderbird failed to download my messages to my Inbox.

Hi there,

I've recently had a problem with a couple of client PCs where their Thunderbird profile folder has grown to fill the entire hard drive. In both cases, the relevant account folder in the profile's ImapMail dir had grown to over 300Gb. This account takes up 45Gb on the server (where I'm running Dovecot with maildir storage). In another case on both PCs, an 18Gb account had grown to over 90Gb.

Both client PCs are running up-to-date Thunderbird (139.0.2 64bit), one under Windows 10 and one under Windows 11. Both had auto-compact set, with the minimum saving reduced to 100Mb. Both problematic accounts are shared accounts that use a deeply-nested folder structure. In both cases, I was forced to delete and then recreate the these accounts in Thunderbird.

I'm an experienced sysadmin who is also running the mail server, so I am able to provide any extra info needed. Additionally, I accept that these are large email accounts; I'm in the process of setting up an email archive system for the client using Piler. I have read many other reports of outsize Thunderbird data folders; these are usually referring to less than 20Gb. The problems we're having seem to be an order of magnitude larger!

Thanks in advance, P.

I can get to the "stored passwords" box, but the email I need to change the password for isn't listed there. I have tried to send and receive messages but nothing makes a "enter your password" box pop up. All I get when it tries to retrieve messages from Gmail is a box to give my email, (just that, not a password) and then an error message that it won't work and there is no more information. I'm using Linux. I've had both this particular email address (as well as others) and Thunderbird for years, perhaps two decades, and I can't figure out what to do now. I was going to change all my email passwords for security reasons, but there's no way I can do that until I can get Thunderbird working with POP access again. Thank you.

I have a thunderbird account with access from three different computers. I have two issues with the account: after more or less a week the last thirtish emails trasfer automatically to trash, so I usually retransfer them to the inbox manually. BUT this week they have been permanently deleted. Not by me, the emails just disappeared... they are not in the trash. Nor in the spam folder, nor archive. I understand I cannot recover the last emails, but I would like to know why the emails are transferring to the trash automatically in the first place. I tried looking at the settings but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Please let me know, thanks!

Trying to download updates from Intel.com and as soon as I click the download button, Firefox just locks up and won't allow me to do anything. I have to basically shut down firfox through task manager to get the browser to work again. I have 139.04 which is the latest update for Firefox

A message to Mozilla if this is a bug how about fixing the problems that some people are having instead of consintration on implementing AI into Firefox as I want a browser that doesn't and isn't link to AI as many other people do as well as some if not most of us are sick to ther back teeth with everything having AI installed with in the programs.

Hi there,

Every time I try to use my emails on Thunderbird, it says it is not connected to the server.

Could you help with this, please?

My emails are: m.ragab@arabic-englishlanguageservices.co.uk info@arabic-englishlanguageservices.co.uk

Hi. For a long time, I've noticed that emails I send from home are sent, but those I try to send with the same settings do not get sent when connected to the Internet in 4 out of 4 cafes. My ISP, Zen, hasn't been able to explain why. I've tested whether Google VPN blocks it somehow, and it doesn't. I normally use Thunderbird. Today, I found that, in the same cafe, messages I tried to send using Thunderbird failed to send, whereas there was no problem with GMail, Proton Mail or Outlook. Any suggestions?

I wonder if there is a way to make Tasks in some online calendar to allow syncing? I like the way thunderbird can show its tasks on calendar view, it's great, but it would be perfect if i could sync such tasks to online calendar. I know that probably there were providers for google/outlook (not updated to 139 yet), but I am a bit afraid of them because of full access permissions.

thanks a lot in advance! Thomas
