In chrome, typing "wow" in the adress-bar automatically suggests wowhead.com/cata (yes.. I'm a wow gamer, sue me) and goes to that page as soon as I hit enter.. firefox doesn't/can't. Same goes for all other "most visited" pages to various sites.

Another example (still using the wowhead site as an example) I start typing "assa" and chrome immediatedly suggest "https://www.wowhead.com/cata/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/dps-bis-gear-pve" and will go to that page as soon as I hit enter, again, firefox can't/won't. Sure.. I can hit "tab", but that's an added key-press I really don't feel is nesseceary.

Is there a way to "fix" this?

With version 128, now when I open Thunderbird, I get a notification alert and sound for every new email. If I have 20 new emails, I get 20 notification alerts and sounds. Very annoying. The previous version would have one notification saying I have 20 unread emails. Much better.

Outlook is used on one PC with POP3 data retrieval. Messages are only deleted by the email service provider if they are deleted in Outlook.

Thunderbird is also used to access the same accounts with IMAP access to the online accounts. All of the messages online have been downloaded by Thunderbird.

I am comparing the .pst Outlook files, and the various Thunderbird data files stored by the PC.

The Thunderbird data files are much larger than the Outlook files. For example, the largest Outlook .pst file is 2G. But there is a Thunderbird data file that is 8G.

Any reason or problem or cleanup suggestion regarding 20G of Outlook .pst data that appears as 30G of Thunderbird locally stored downloaded IMAP data?

Hi. I am using Thunderbird 128.2.1esr(64-bit), most recent update. Recently (about 1-2 months ago approx) some of my emails have started having an attachment that does not belong with it. For example, I just received an email that I know for a fact was not sent with an attachment, however in my inbox it shows that the email has an attachment. It is always the same attachment and is always the same file name, and is a file I received about two years ago. (The fie that gets attached is a legitimate one from a trusted source. It is a pdf file, and is always the same one when it gets attached to incoming emails). I can open the attachment everytime when it shows up, so it is acting like it belongs with the specific email, even though I know it is not supposed to be there. I also noticed that when this happens there is no text in the email message, just the attachment. This happens at random times and does not seem to have any specific pattern. I use a gmail account & am connected by imap. If I go directly to my google inbox the specific email shows as normal, meaning the attachment is not with it, and the text of the email shows up. How can I fix this? I have tried compacting my folders however that has not helped. I have scanned for any malware and the scans show no issues. I do not know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Rich

For the past week or two, TB only downloads 3 or 4 (never more than 4) messages at a time from my Gmail. Now, instead of just starting TB and it downloading all new messages, I have to click Get Messages multiple times to retrieve everything. I have seen similar questions here and the answers have all been variations of blaming the user. So: a) I have not changed any settings. b) It used to download all available messages, whether when TB started up or when I clicked Get Messages. c) Just now on starting TB, it took 6 clicks to retrieve 20 message. They are all text, no attachments, so the total size would be in KB, not MB. d) Using Speedtest, my connection speed is over 300 MB/second so it isn't a connection speed limit on my side. And I doubt it is a speed limitation on Gmail's side.

With all of that in mind, I would appreciate any suggestions of what could be causing the problem and what the fix might be.

After a power outage I now get this message on all three of my computers but only on some accounts:

"An error occurred while sending mail, The mail server responded: <1234@roadrunner.com> sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings, AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

I know what that means but I'm very confused because I use and have always used ONE <default> smpte for all my accounts and never had a problem until now. Thunderbird even gives the user a choice of whether to use one default account or separate smpte password statements for each account. I still can't send when I try to enter separate urls and/or passwords for each account. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks, Joe

Greetings,

After having been "On th' Net", for approx. 6 hours earlier today, with No Issues,......About an hour ago, (And No,.... I didn't recieve a Firefox Update today, to the best of my knowledge, although today has been very chaotic & stressful),....I tried to open a PDF, of which I view on the Firefox Browser, & I got a "Couldn't load XPCOM."

I then "Right Clicked" the Firefox icon & tried to open Firefox as an Administrator, & I got the same message.

I then "Right Clicked" the Firefox icon, & sought the "Refresh Button", But there is none.

The "Installed Browser" for Windows 10, is how I've managed to get to this Forum, of which I do not trust.

My Email is via YAHOO/Frontier, & since I, for the moment, cannot access My email, of which, I'm thinking that to see any replies to this situation that I'm in, that I will have to use YAHOO, so as to access Frontier.

I've seen where situations like this have been occurring, & the most recent that I saw is this:

cor-el Moderator Top 10 Contributor 1/12/23, 1:08 AM more options An error message about XPCOM missing or about platform version usually happens because of a failed Firefox update that left you with a mixture of old and updated files in the Firefox program folder. This can happen in case security software was keeping a handle of some of the files in the Firefox program folder preventing Firefox from replacing all the files. You need to do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder to ensure that all files are replaced. You may have to disable security software temporarily in case the problem persists.

You can find the full installer of the current Firefox release (108.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:

Will I be able to save All of My Favorites? I have several years of Favorites there & many of them are critically needed. I realize that the Add Ons/Themes/Settings will have to be re-installed/adjusted, but I'm good with that.

Again,... Keeping My Favorites is critical, & "If" they would be deleted, then is there any Possibility of Tech/Engineering accessing My Firefox Folder & saving them?

Regards

Hi there-

On my current Dell laptop (Windows 11) I have had a recurring issue with Firefox wherein any time two sounds play at the same time (say, a Youtube video is playing in the background and I have a sound play in a browser game) it makes one of the audio channels cut out for about a second. This issue only happens with Firefox, and I previously fixed this by changing the bitrate in my audio output settings. However, after an update, this issue has returned, and the bitrate settings I was using that were able to fix this issue now doesn't allow me to play audio on Firefox at all. So now I have no way to avoid the strange bug that causes audio to cut out.

I would love some advice- is this on Firefox's end, or my computer's? Is there a driver I could install or something to avoid this bug? What causes it?

Cheers, Noa

Email was fine until around 1. Now all of a sudden it won't send outgoing email. It just sits there and spins. This happened last week for few hours, but that was just before the latest thunderbird update. It's annoying.

I noticed after a forced Microsoft Windows 10 update, AND whilst using CC Cleaner to clean out the cache, I was no longer prompted to close Firefox. I never opened Microsoft Edge and was not asked to close it to complete the CC Cleaner process. I don't want Mircosoft Edge and I especially don't like the feeling that Firefox must use Edge to operate. What can I do to clear this up.

Hallo Team, bisher hatte ich mit Thunderbird keine Probleme, aber kommt wie aus den nichts immer die Meldung. Anmeldung auf den Server imap.arcor.de mit dem Benutzernamen "f.heben" fehlgeschlagen.

I am new to Thunderbird having just installed version 128.2.1esr. I am trying to build distribution lists, what you refer to as mailing lists. Your support document says to open the Address Book then Select File>New>Mailing List. When I try to do this after selecting File>New Mailing List does not come up as an option. Is there another way to build my lists? Thanks

ATT/Yahoo is my homepage. When reading an article on the ATT(Currently)/Yahoo homepage, there is a comments section at the end of each article. When trying to access the comments section, it disappears when clicked on. On other homepages (MSN, eg), it works fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello I was listening to a song from amazon music premium like usual but today the website updated and somehow it said the browser didn't support high quality songs... It didn't show it, but it seems it never supported hq music, is there a way to play it on the best quality or is it a limitation on firefox's part? How can I fix it if it's just an error?

"Browser does not support HD quality"
