On my workstation the Thunderbird e-mail data is saved in the C:\Users\[My Name]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird... directory.

The data consumes considerable hard drive space and I would like to create a directory on my F: drive (that has 100+GB of data free) to "off-drive" the data. If it's even possible, how do I configure Thunderbird to use this different data directory on a different drive??

BTW, I tried to do this by copying the data/profile in the above C: drive directory to my F: drive. I changed the "Local Directory" setting in the "Message Storage" pane on the "Server Settings" window in the "Account Settings" appropriately. I even changed the path in the profiles.ini file in the default C: directory. This process didn't work and resulted in Thunderbird demanding that I create a new account. All returned to normal when I copied the Thunderbird data to its original location.

Windows 10 pc can not start,I have gone through automatic repair and diagnostics steps,but am now on advamced options and think I need to Reset it.This will lose Firefox.When I install it again will I be able to sign into my Firefox account to retrieve bookmarks and passwords?I am very nervous about this,don't even know how to install Firefox,as someone gave me the computer and it was already in there. I am a tech dinosaur!Thank you in advance for any help.Lesley

I use Protonmail - a web-based email app. They do not provide spellchecking, but say that the Firefox spellchecker should work in their email composer (it used to work so for me!) but, despite having Settings/General/Spellchecker ticked, and a dictionary (GB) selected (and, I see, the spellchecker working in this dialogue box) it is not working in the Protonmail composer.

Help!!

I have a bunch of email subfolders showing up in Thunderbird which have nothing in them. Their names appear in italic, greyed-out. No matter how many times I delete them, when I reopen Thunderbird they've just reappeared in their previous location. This includes three in the Deleted folder.

I'm using IMAP and the phantom folders are not there in my provider's webmail interface, so it must be a local problem.

I know from internet search that lots of people have had this. Solutions elsewhere that I've already tried and that didn't work:

- unsubscribing from the folders: they appear in the subscribed list but without any checkbox next to them - deleting the .msf, panacea, etc. files: the folders reappear just the same after doing this

Has anyone found a fix that works? This is my work email account and the clutter in my folder pane is really unhelpful!

How to save attachments from several eMails at the same time. Looking to save all attachments from tens of messages without the need of doing it one message by one. Is there a way to do this?

On my computer Firefox ask for the master password every time at startup. On other computers in my family, Firefox only ask for the Master Password when accessing a site with a password. I tried : - to disable than reenable Master Password - start in SafeMode without success. How can I solve my issue ? Thanks in advance for your help

I have multiple email addresses. I save and move all emails to one email address. When I reply, the "FROM" address always defaults to that email address in which I am saving the emails. So for example, if someone emails me at email1@email.com and I save that email in email2@email.com, then later respond to that email, it uses email2@email.com as the "FROM" email.

Shouldn't it reply using the ORIGINAL email address?

Windows 10 (64 bit) Thunderbird 60.0b7 (64 bit) Just had an automatic Thunderbird email update. There was an "Option" to insure that my sent email was received at the required location. You would send a "ping" informing you, - Email received - Email "not" received When it comes to very important email's, this tool was a great asset. Why was this very important (secure) "Option" removed? Thanks

I am getting multiple pop-ups from Mozilla. When I close them they continually pop up again. They are warning me of a 'system Alert' about infection or virus. click on them they are trying to sell me Norton anti virus products. I have Mcafee and its showing no problems. How can I get rid of these annoyances? Thank You

I'm running Firefox 100.0 (64 bit) on windows 10 pro 21H2. I've been using Firefox to access Flightradar24 to view real time flight across the globe. All of a sudden today the map doesn't appear any more . I think they use Google maps and overlay their info.

The maps show properly in MS EDGE and Google Chrome.

I've attached a screen shot of what I get.

Thanks

I want to forward several emails in one email with one heading to a recipient -rather than forward several emails with different headings to a recipient. They are several parts of one topic and I want to group them and not have many individual emails that can get separated.

Can this be done. If so, how.

I'm using 128.0.3 (64-bit) for Windows, on Windows 10.

1. I open Firefox normal window. It has some pinned tabs. 2. I open an additional private window 3. I close the normal Firefox window. Only the private window remains 4. I close also the private window 5. I restart Firefox normal window. The pinned tabs have disappeared.

Thank you. Adrian

I don't see a new email notification in the taskbar when I receive new email. I do have the Thunderbird icon in the taskbar but it never changes when I receive new email.

Is there a way to see a notification in the taskbar when a new and/or unread email is received? (New user here.)

Windows 10 with Creators update (64 bit) + Thunderbird 52.0.1 (32 bit) at May 1, 2017. Also tried it on a Windows 7 PC (32 bit) and there are no taskbar notifications on that system either.

I have spent a lot of time trying to find info on the net regarding this issue. Have searched through Thunderbird and Windows settings changing taskbar and notifications settings as previously suggested for this question. Nothing has worked on either PC.

Google provides a different key to differentiate installed copies of Google Chrome (standard or "Google Chrome for Work") in this file:

"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Info.plist"

Google Chrome:
<key>KSBrandID</key>
<string>GGRM</string>

Google Chrome for Work:
<key>KSBrandID</key>
<string>GGRO</string>

Is there such an identifier on Firefox vs Firefox ESR?

Thanks, Don

Hi I have used Outlook Express for years and I know how to configure "everything" I need within the settings pages because their settings pages are all "logical" with everything out in the open.

However, Thunderbird "hides" their settings behind buttons and confusing screens.

There are many tutorials that explain how to set up Thunderbird from the beginning, and show how to set up a new email account. But I have not been able to find a tutorial on how to change my email account password "after" I have been using Thunderbird for awhile.

I also see no way to change the incoming and outgoing servers. For example, I have changed from one hosting company to another hosting company and I need to use the new mail servers from the new hosting company and I do not see any tutorials anyplace that cover ongoing or day-to-day activities with Thunderbird.

Can you please change your settings screens to make Thunderbird easier for new people to find these normal and necessary items?

Also can you please point me to a tutorial that shows me how to change my email account password and change my incoming and outgoing servers?

Thanks so much!

Dear Firefox Team, good morning.

I hope you are doing well and that you are all healthy.

Guys... while looking for a way to measure the performance of our site, we came across the Core Web Vitals (CWV) some time ago. These are Google KPIs for measuring the user experience on a page (https://web.dev/vitals/#core-web-vitals). Unfortunately, some of the KPIs (like the Largest Contentful Paint or Cumulative Layout Shift) are currently only accessible using Chrome and it's preformance API. That's a pity, because there are also many people using Firefox who visit our site... and it would be interesting to have such KPIs as well.

In an article by Cloudflare (https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/web-analytics/understanding-web-analytics/core-web-vitals/) we recently learned that Firefox is also planning to expose the metrics used in the CWV... only the "coming soon" from the article is a bit vague. That's why I'm contacting you to get some more information on that topic. Do you perhaps know whether the topic is planned and will be tackled this year?

Thank you for your attention. Best regards, Carlos

Hey all,

Last night I made the mistake of clicking a sketchy link on twitter thinking what it was some meme site( the person who tweeted is someone I know personally so I thought it was safe) once I clicked on it, I wasn’t redirected to the site so I thought it was weird then once I learned that he deleted it because it was compromised. I got scared and I was running scans through Microsoft defender. After the full scan it said that it detected Trojan:HTML/Phish!pz and the affected files where C:\Users\….\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\cq0glqqq.default-release\cache2\entries. I deleted my cache a few hours later than I should.

So I reached out to a friend and they told me that it was probably was a false flag and I didn’t need to delete my cache. But I’m nervous that it’s an actual threat and I should do more to ensure my computer is completely safe. Also probably a lot of grammar mistakes I haven’t slept since I got this information.
