what it says on the tin. went data purging with ol reliable WinDirStat and found this absolute behemoth of a file in the profiles directory for firefox. its especially weird considering the entire Firefox directory itself is only 1.5GB with this menace taking 1.3 of it. I cant imagine that bookmarks, search history, passwords, the works takes up any more than about 300mb. so im wondering if im just stuck in the early days of data or if the file really is just that girthy.

Hello all,

I am currently testing the new VPN feature in Firefox. I Is noticed that Firefox always starts with this integrated VPN being off. I searched but I didn't find any way to have it always on when launching VPN. Is that possible?

Thanks!

I'm using Thunderbird 149.02 to make a local copy of all folders, messages and attachments on my yahoo mail account. I don't yet see an obvious way to issue a command to Thunderbird to accomplish this.

I'm using export.imap.mail.yahoo.com as the IMAP server as some of the folders have >10000 messages (none have >100000 messages, and there is no significant real-time email arriving to the account while I do this procedure.)

In settings/offline settings I have "automatically follow detected online state" and "download messages for offline use when going offline [yes].

In account settings/synchronization & storage I have Disk space: Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age"; "to recover disk space, old messages can be permanently deleted..." I have "Don't delete any messages" and "Always keep starred messages"

With these settings, I've tried (from the main menu) File -> Offline > Download/Sync now, then "Download and/or sync..." I have selected Mail Messages, and the Select button takes me to a table where I have selected the main account folder and all sub-folders.

With these settings, Thunderbird appears to go through some of the folders and downloads messages from, them, and after a while says there are no new messages (I don't have the specific text, but it ceases interacting with the server". If I repeat the Download/Sync now procedure, it appears to download more messages, will continue for a while, then stop in the same way.

When I compare the size of Thunderbird's local account folder, it appears to grow after each of these iterations, but is (after half dozen cycles through this) has only reached about 2/3 of the total stoage size reported by Yahoo. While I understand the storage mechanisms would differ significantly between yahoo and Thunderbird, I don't believe I've found a single sure-fire way to accomplish what I set out to do in the first place (which is get a complete copy, through IMAP, of all emails, folders and attachments.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Dave

Hallo ich brauche Unterstützung,

Wie/Wo kann ich diesen Ordner Spam' in meinem Thunderbird Account '[edited]@t-online.de IMAP' entfernen/löschen? Die Pfadangabe 'imap://juergen.plenske%40t-online.de@secureimap.t-online.de/INBOX/Junk' des ersten Ordners ist falsch. Der INBOX-Ordner auf t-online heist 'Spam' und funktioniert als zweiter Ordner (unterhalb) korrekt.

Vielen dank für eine Lösung dieses Problems.

I subscribe to MarketSurge, a stock data platform. It has run reliably on Firefox until last week. When I enter a stock symbol it brings up this error, and does not give the requested stock data from the MarketSurge live data platform. "[Autosuggest API Error] Failed to load info for symbol 'TTMI' ".

Has anyone seen that error before? Does it suggest a conflict within Firefox?

I have tried many things to troubleshoot and find the cause within Firefox, its settings and variations, and with Win 10. Nothing resolved. However, executing the Marketsurge platform in Chrome does not have a problem.

Background & Details: 1) Win 10 pc. with current updates. Firefox browser with current updates. 2)Firefox cache, history, and browsing deleted. Standard protection setting off. 3)Vpn off.

I would be deeply grateful for any insights re:Firefox that might be causing this problem, which did not exist prior to last week.

Thank you very much.

Earlier in the year I installed Thunderbird onto a new PC having previously used an older version on an older PC. When visiting a web site (and clicking on an email hyperlink there) my previous version used to automatically launch Thunderbird but the new version doesn't do that any more (i.e. clicking email hyperlinks doesn't do anything at all)

I'm running on Windows 10 and using Thunderbird version 150.0.2. I this likely to be due to some setting in Thunderbird? Or is it maybe something I need to configure in Windows?

hello dear Please can you review my addons (extensions) for three days to activate my eyes, but no epidemics

Après avoir téléchargé la toute dernière version, 18.5.00, firefox ne fonctionne plus. Le message apparait à chaque recherche d'un site : l'onglet a planté. Que faire ? Merci

While submitting online forms for opting out of data brokers getting the following error: Invalid Turnstile captcha response. Using Windows 10 and latest Firefox, tried putting Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode which runs without extensions and searched for online solutions, but no help.

I received an email that said my account would be closed in 7 days unless I signed in.

I leave my Mozilla tabs permanently open and use them every day. I tried to sign in as instructed and got an "unknown error" about 3 times. Then I was sent to a page talking about Windows 10. I have the extension; that's not a problem for me.

Closing Mozilla and possibly losing all those open tabs would be a BIG problem. Evidently I'm signed in now. I hope everything is OK with my Mozilla account.

после обновления в панели инструментов появилась вкладка профили и она мне даром не нужна но хуже всего что теперь файрфокс каждый раз перед запуском заставляет выбирать профиль и ни какие настройки не помогают! что только не пробовал все бесполезно -- вечно выскакиевает это окно с выбором профиля! какой [edited] мог такое придумать??? и как избавится от эт ого [edited]!!! мне нужен обычный браузер каким он был до версии 150 без [edited] вкладок и [edited] ИИ

For some reason since reinstalling my Thunderbird every time I try to sen e-mail I get the error "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <SantoshS1@vbeyond.com>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied. Please check the message recipient "SantoshS1@vbeyond.com" and try again.

They are perfectly valid addresses, as they are generated using Reply. This did not happen before I was forced to reinstall from scratch. I suspect it may be some sort of issue with my account configuration in Thunderbird, as I had to recreate that.

Dear Firefox.

I've now got 2 VPNs. One's called Proxy VeePN (that's how it spells it!) and the other one's your new one.

Proxy VeePN lets me use Pandora Music. Your one doesn't. Pandora can tell I'm in England on your one, it can't with Proxy VeePN (it thinks I'm in Switzerland, pretty sure.)

Why doesn't your one work with Pandora? I haven't tried it with anything else yet but then I really only use a VPN for Pandora Music anyway. Sometimes there's a couple of American games I play, but mainly Pandora. Why is it Proxy VeePN works with Pandora and yours doesn't?

Yours respectfully,

Chris, Windows 10 user cos I can't afford to buy a new computer that works with Windows 11 (I know there's a registry hack but I don't think this one's fast enough anyway, was designed for XP and tends to die a death with 10, let alone 11! Too slow. The computer, not its owner!)

Yours puzzledly,

Chris.

Hello. I have a problem with the chat.deepseek.com website - every time I launch the browser, the language settings are reset from the system (or Russian) language set manually to English. Interestingly, this problem only occurs in Firefox, while other browsers work as expected. Additionally, the test profile created again also works properly. What I have done: 1. Reinstalled the browser, but it did not help 2. Deleted the folders responsible for Local Storage in the profile folder - didn't help 3. Cleared the cookies - helped until the first restart, then it was the same. History is enabled, and cookies are not cleared when the browser is closed. How can I solve this issue without deleting my profile? I don't want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and website settings. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I can receive outlook e-mail but I cannot send from Thunderbird. I am asked for a password for the specific Microsoft server. I enter my Microsoft account password but this does not work. Security setting is STARTTLS withNormal Password authentification. My other Thunderbird non-MS e-mails are problem free.

Searches using the provided Amazon search feature found in settings will always have "tag=admarketus-20" in the url. Example: https://www.amazon.com/s?tag=admarketus-20&ref=pd_sl_ [bunch of letters and numbers] &mfadid=adm&k= [search query] Now, if this were an affiliate tag for Mozilla specifically, I would understand, but googling the "admarketus-20" tag turns up posts showing that users on various other browsers (Vivaldi, Opera, Chrome) also reporting seeing this tag popping up in their searches too. I wondered if this was due to malware, but I did a fresh Firefox installation on a newly installed Win10 machine and it happens there too. Who/what is this tag for?

I've been using Thunderbird for about two months now and I just realized that Thunderbird (150.0.1) seems to be unable (or unwilling) to use some of the fonts that are on the computer (Windows 10, plenty of RAM and disk space).

Let me explain that I don't send a lot of emails, and most of the ones I do send are just a few lines so I had not had any reason to bother with the font -- the default font was fine -- until today...

Today my experience with fonts in Thunderbird was extremely disappointing. It started when I was composing an email and I copied/pasted some text from a web page into the email. Rather than treating the pasted text as simply text to have in the default font, Thunderbird put it in some strange font and size. This might have been Thunderbird's attempt to use the font from the website but neither the font nor the size resembled the text that I had copied/pasted. That was when I noticed that Thunderbird does not let you choose the actual size but only offers the choice to make text larger or smaller. Making the text smaller was sufficient for that particular time.

As I finished the email, I tried to sign my usual signature. Thunderbird lets you choose the font but once I had chosen the font that I routinely use for my signature, I discovered that Thunderbird totally ignores the choice that it just let you make. Instead of displaying the signature in the chosen font, it displayed my signature in a plain sanserif font.

I could live with a limited choice of fonts -- I have used another program where the only choices were serif and sanserif -- but I cannot understand why Thunderbird would offer a font choice menu that includes all my installed fonts when it actually only honors three choices. The only fonts reliably used seem to be some generic sanserif font that Tunderbird calls Helvetica/Ariel, a generic serif font that it calls Times and another serif font it calls Courier.

The dropdown menu lets me choose any of the fonts I have installed, some of them display properly while composing the email, others don't. If I send the email to another of my email addresses, Thunderbird displays the text the same way -- some fonts are correct and some fonts get replaced with one of Thunderbird's generic fonts.

I'd really like to have all my fonts available -- but that doesn't seem to be possible with Thunderbird so I guess I need to figure out which fonts Thunderbird is willing to use.
