Running Windows 10 but with extra year of security updates. Several web sites were running very slow or not loading at all. So I tried doing system restore - only went back 3 days but afterward said it had some problems, and link to Firefox did not work. So I did system recovery back to time from which I had just done restore. But I had no link to Firefox so had to download it new. But now I have none of my previous tabs, links, saved passwords,,etc. I'm hoping my previous Firefox is still on my PC and there is a way I can run it.

Hi I am Unable to send e-mails (only receive) after adding a 3rd account to my thunderbird, a microsoft e-mail (the other 2 are gmx and my old work e-mail). This is my private laptop. I tried tons of troubleshootings incl. deleting passwords, triple checking all settings (they are all correct), but I always get a pop up with "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username ... failed" when trying to send an e-mail. When I click on enter new password it just tries to send the e-mail again, which fails, so unable to enter anything.

On my Firefox homepage I had four rows of bookmark shortcuts. I recently decided to switch some of them out but I made a mistake and chose Dismiss. Now my homepage only has three rows of shortcuts even though in the options it still says four and there doesn't seem to be a way to re-add them or bring them back. How do I restore the slots that were dismissed?

Clean Reinstalling Firefox has repeatedly failed on me - auto-updates cause problems with slow grinding FF + unresponsive websites

I suppose this is a kind of support question, of sorts, but in my opinion this also has to be treated as a complaint, in a sense.

About one and a half months ago, Firefox became unresponsive, that is, it became awfully slow. I experienced just about every issue with the browser that was mentioned in the following support pages and support issues (posted by others) and I read all of those :

Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors#w_the-problem-only-happens-with-certain-websites

firefox is extremely slow or fails to load sites

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1550371

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

Secure connection and security warning error pages in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/secure-connection-failed-firefox-did-not-connect

An oddball situation had occurred in which I couldn't for the likes of me go to my librarything.com homepage at each restart of the previous Firefox session, which also causes lagging when the session wants to connect to the other (normally unproblematic) website session tabs, and I also get multiple connection errors + insecure connection notifications for some of these websites. (sometimes refreshing a page does not help, sometimes it does)

I got bored reading all those support pages and trying out the solutions, because nothing seemed to help. In the long run, I decided to de-install the whole browser after backing up bookmarks, speeddial settings, passwords and the whole profile. Simultaneously, I also tested the connectivity to these websites in another browser (Brave) and this did not present me with any problem.

So I did the following :

1) deleted the whole cache and closed the browser 2) uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller (which has an option to remove all remnant files / folders/ registry items on the Hard Drive) 3) made sure to remove all cached leftovers from HD by using multiple cleanup tools in succession : 1) Wise Disk Cleaner followed by 2) Bleachbit followed by 3) CCleaner

Went to the mozilla website, downloaded and installed the last version of FF. Next, imported bookmarks, speeddial settings and passwords. Next, reinstalled the Firefox extensions I used before (without any lag until one and a half months ago). I also did NOT copy the stored profile but decided on starting afresh with a new profile.

Everything worked lightning fast and efficiently until a few days ago, when I received an automatic update of Firefox - 151.0.3 - and all of a sudden, the same problems are reoccurring. And again, I can't connect to an unproblematic website like librarything.com, whereas before the update I was able to without any problem !!!

What the hell is going on with these auto-updates ???

I have a desktop that is windows 10. I use Mozilla for four email accounts, 3 of my accounts work fine. My problem is with TWC. Emails sent/forward and cant save drafts often fail. When I sign into spectrum webmail, my Mozilla TWC account works again for a while. This started about 2 weeks ago. I'm using version firefox version 151.0.2. I've eliminated Spectrum as being the issue and all my settings are correct. Thoughts?

As of today, this was the situation (image 1). I had to do a manual update.

Also, when I first visited here today, I was not logged in. I 'd like to stay logged in. Then, I couldn't have been here for more than 15 seconds, and this appeared. How can a session be expired when there was no session? Is this part of the reason I don't stay logged in?

I received a spam message this morning that had a "Disposition-Notification-To" (aka Read Receipt) line that had MY email address on it. I honestly don't know why a spammer would do this - but that's not the issue. I have Read Receipts disabled, but Thunderbird generated an email (to me) and sent it to my mail host. This seems like a bug. Even if the Read Receipt has my email address on it (making it mostly harmless), Thunderbird shouldn't have generated the message. Or am I missing something? Thanks.

In event creation in Calendar the options for repeat pattern are daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or yearly. There is an option to create a custom pattern, but if I enter every 28 days, because I want the event to recur every four weeks, it is over-ridden by the option above which is the repeat pattern, daily, weekly etc and the event appears daily. There appears to be no way to create an event that occurs repeatedly every four weeks (28days)?

Can anyone help please?

Hello,

Everything working just fine last night. Wake up and Thunderbird will not retrieve emails.

Remembered this old message I got so I went through and deleted my second email address, didn't help.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo

Checked all settings compared to Yahoo, still won't download messages. I can even send a message with my current settings no problem, and it does login, just won't retrieve emails. Gives me a connection timeout.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello, I have six calendars: five are hosted by one provider, Runbox.com, via SabreDAV, and one is hosted by a different provider, Apple iCloud Calendar. I am periodically seeing the error shown below on multiple calendars during automatic sync.

I have saved a two-day event history from the error console and can provide it on request, along with any other troubleshooting information that may be helpful.

I am technical by nature, but my programming experience was primarily with mainframes rather than personal computers. Could someone kindly help me troubleshoot this ongoing issue?

Thanks in advance.
