Thunderbird kept crashing, so I tried reinstalling. When I did, I was told to agree to an upgrade. I did. But now, it can't configure my account, and I've lost everything. Using a Windows 11 PC desktop. Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago when trying to send messages ended up crashing Thunderbird if I used the enter key.

Hello,

I use a Powershell script to manually install a Firefox update.

Starting with version 128.10.xx and higher, Update.exe expects different parameters, but I'm not sure what the parameter names mean (see screenshot).

Can someone explain to me what I need to pass for “arg-version” and “wich-invocation”? All other parameters were already present in the previous version of Update.exe, and I understand those, but unfortunately I don't know exactly what I need to pass for these two.

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Hi Folks,

I want to seek opinion on how to manage the virus detected in emails (or its attachments) through Kaspersky Anti Virus.

I have large no of emails in TB stored in mbox format. Around 30GB in Inbox and another 5GB in Sent, etc. I also use Kaspersky Internet Security which has anti-virus also active.

Now my anti virus detects some infected emails. How to clean the infected virus emails / attachments.

Question: 1) When using mbox file on TB, is Kaspersky capable to delete ONLY a single specific infected file from the entire mbox data without any corruption of mail data? 2) If not, how to setup the anti-virus to automatically clean, disinfect and delete/quanrantine individual mail. ?

3) Is MailDir a better way to save emails in profile and use anti-virus. There is a warning on Maildir saying its still not settled and may have bugs. Is that true even today ?

Thanks & Regards, Tejas

First, why does the "recently closed tabs" doesn't work if you close an entire firefox window?

second, why isn't there a place to search through your tab groups?

I just accidentally closed a firefox window with a lot of tabs, including unnamed tab groups.

This is a pain for all browsers, but firefox took it a step further.

There is a "recently closed tab" page which is really convenient, until you need it most when you accidentally close multiple ones. On top of that, I lost multiple unnamed group tabs.

Am I missing something, or is the experience still subpar? I've been a power user of firefox for years now, and I get why I get clowned by chrome users ngl.

Good afternoon!

Thanks for the great customer!

We have several computers on a local network without internet access. There is a problem in Thunderbird 143 - files are downloading slowly. POP3 and IMAP are the same. From several tens of seconds to one and a half minutes, 11 files from the letter were downloaded, totaling 20 MB. There is such a feature - if you disconnect the network adapter, the problem practically disappears. There was no such problem in the Thunderbird 115 version. The Em client and Mailbird clients were also installed for the experiment - they also do not have such a problem.

The mailbox is small and contains 20-30 almost empty emails.

Tell me, please, what can be done about it?

Sincerely, Yaroslav.

look, i have no idea if this is a bug, but i have been dealing with this for over a month now. i even have tried to use what was suggested, still does it. it all started AFTER i used mozilla sync, now for some reason it forces me out of my accounts every time i try to restart my browser, forces me to log back into them, then does it again if i close out mozilla at any point after to make sure it isn't about to sign me out another time.

it's getting frustrating because i am tired of losing my history, my bookmarks, and my extensions. this is also reaching a point i am considering changing web browsers because it won't fix after trying the suggestion given before of deleting the files.

As stated, when I close browsers usually some random group of tabs, usually at the starting left side, will be moved to the end of tabs. I need to go in and manually select them and send them to the start or manually move them. Sometimes another group that was to the right of the starting tabs shows up in front of those moved to the end. I have 4 working windows with multiple tabs open. When all are closed, say as to reboot, the last one I was in usually is the one effected. Happens probably 7 or 8 times out of 10 closings.

Earlier today there was a one second power outage in my area that obviously turned off my work pc. While helping customers I saw that it was throwing error codes while restarting. After getting it fixed by power cycling the pc. When I would open Firefox it would start loading tabs but when I clicked on anything it would freeze then crash. I tried to power cycle the pc again to no avail. Everything else along with other browsers worked fine. I then uninstalled and reinstalled and it would get to the end of the install and would pop up with hmm for some reason, we could not install Firefox. I have updated all drivers along with windows and nothing has worked. The weird thing is that it makes a desktop short cut that I can open with a get started tab but when clicking on anything it freezes and crashes. I also uninstalled the old Firefox folder to make sure nothing was conflicting and it still doesn't work.

I was signed out from my Firefox-Account on my PC for no apparent reason. I reset my Firefox Sync Password today and when I checked my saved passwords they were empty.
