I started noticing that Firefox was giving me a lot of "not responding" freezes the past couple of weeks. The past couple of days I basically cannot access Firefox at all - constant, immediate freezing. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling (multiple times), disabling hardware acceleration, running troubleshooter mode (still freezes! if it opens at all!), deleting profiles, restarting my computer, etc. I've done just about everything I can find online about this issue. Nothing has worked. I have no issues with Chrome or Edge.

Any suggestions??

Hello,

I have been unable to update Firefox past 132.0.2; every time I download an update and install/restart, all tabs automatically crash upon loading regardless of the website. I can load local pages like settings or about:config, but anything that actually uses the internet goes straight to crashing (including sites as simple as google.com). I have tried restarting in Troubleshooting mode to no avail. There are no crash reports when I pull up about:crashes, so unable to post IDs here.

It is not an internet access problem (I am [unfortunately] filling out this form from Edge), and with reversion to 132.0.2 everything moves along hunky-dory. I am also able to use the newest version of Firefox on all of my work devices, so it appears to be something in particular with my person PC. Problem occurred with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Any help would be much appreciated- I didn't mind an older version of Firefox that worked, but there have been some MFA logons that refuse to go load in v132 so it's becoming something I'm less able to ignore now. TIA

Hello fellow Thunderbirds,

I have been using Thunderbird for years and had thousands of emails in quite a few folders, with a shit-tonne of filters etc. My emails were running pretty well. I only use two addresses, but the folders help manage everything.

I just got a new computer last week. Prior to switching over to the new computer I read through the 'Export your Thunderbird Profile' help page, and the 'Move Thunderbird data to a new computer' pages. I've tried to follow all the info there (with a glitch, explained below).

I am using a Windows system and have gone from Win10 to Win11.

I have the following data:

• Mozilla Maintenance Service (in Program Files (x86) ).
• Mozilla Thunderbird (in Program Files (x86) )
• Thunderbird (In Users/Username/AppData/Local/Thunderbird) (Contains 'profile' and 'updates'

I tried to swap the above data into the same spots on the new computer, but alas, it's not working. I *may*, however, have fucked it up myself...

So... When I got the new computer, I immediately downloaded Firefox, but, alas, I entered my email's details before closing it down. It did download a few off the server, but only a day's worth (before I realised I screwed up).

As soon as I realised I'd mucked up, I uninstalled Thunderbird and deleted the files on the new computer (you know how when you download it doesn't always remove all the stuff, so I tried to do this).

I reinstalled Thunderbird, but closed it prior to loading the email addresses on (as instructed). I then transferred all the above data into the corresponding file areas on the new computer. However, everytime I try to run the program it just goes to the standard open screen (with the popup that prompts you to enter your email addresses and details into it - see image, below, in case I'm not explaining it right).

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give me as I'm desperate to get my emails running again and have access to all the saved emails which were in my system. Kindly. Larysa.

Hello, this is the basic problem:

The short version is that there is a problem with Firefox not interacting with the scrub bar and volume bar. (all other controls work fine) We know it's a Firefox thing because everything works with Brave. (or an interaction between Firefox and the OS at least, Firefox is heavily involved)

There is more detail and we have done some work on it here: CashyOS forum post

You can use the Firefox manifesto V0.2. video for an example, as it displays all the above problems for me.

I can get you guys whatever other data might be needed, but I kinda need an idea where to look to try and fix this, as all the other posts I have managed to find don't seem to have similar enough issues to work.

In the last month or 2, when I delete an email it does not show in the trash folder. I can wait from 5 minutes to even the next time I reboot my puter to finally see it it trash. Sometimes it sends it to the all mail or important folder instead of trash. And if I delete from there, it still takes tons of time to end up in the trash folder...if it even gets there. This seems to be getting worse by the day. I have clicked repair folder, no change, I have cleared Thunderbird's cache, no change. It's also now taking way too much time to load an email that contains a picture. This happens with at least 3 of these gmails. I'm at a loss here and extremely frustrated and about to change these gmails from imap to pop. win10 and TB is up to date. But it doesn't compact folders as much as it used to either. Any help appreciated

In checking my email, I clicked on one that was from "Progressive" which is a valid correspondent but upon opening, it was from United Airlines, which is also a valid correspondent for me. I closed out Thunderbird and reopened but this did not resolve the issue. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

It looks like "Link" has hijacked my credit card, it is listed as what will pay Mozilla VPN. How can I avoid this and pay you directly the way I've done from the beginning.

Asking because there was several attempted frauds on my CC the bank stopped. Original CC has been blocked and cancelled. Went to put new CC information in and find it will go to "Link". Please explain if you can.

I use Message Filters in Thunderbird extensively. Some of the grouped filters have many entries. Is there a quick way to find individual filter entries while using Thunderbird to, for example, modify or delete them? The only way I know of at the moment is to edit the the msgFilterRules.dat file as a text file.

I have 2 email accounts accessed by thunderbird, after the last update it appears that the secondary account is sending the incoming messages directly to the trash folder can you look into this or can I revert to the previous version?
