I frequently have difficulty when I need to make plain-test copies of web pages. These are pages that only allow "Select All" to select parts of pages, so that important parts of the pages cannot be selected, or so that a large number of select-and-copy cycles are required to copy the information on a webpage. The Firefox extensions that I have tried like the old "right to click" do not seem to help much. With old versions of Windows, I would use print-to-file for a generic plain-text printer, but that does not provide a readable file on Win 10.

I frequently find these problems on web pages with survey questions. This web page is a very simple example where multiple cycles of select-and-copy are required: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop/form People who have accounts on Meetup.com should see an egregious example on this page: https://www.meetup.com/account/interests/

Thanks for any help, Lloyd

Latest version of Thunderbird installed. Today, all attachments come in as winmail.dat files. I have removed and reinstalled LookOut (fix version), twice. Restarted TB and computer. No luck. PDF viewer is not compatible with my version of Thunderbird. Cannot open any file. I use this program exclusively. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. P.S. This seems to be a recurring issue.

I've been using Thunderbird for years, always storing message on my machine. My local profile folder is now 2.3GB with 14,191 files in 688 folders. I suspect there is a lot of "orphaned" junk there. Most suspicious are hundreds of folders and files in subfolders named Cache and Cache.Trash, all dated in 2017. There is a cache2 folder that appears to be current.

I also have several other folders/files with dates (modified) back in 2017 and 2018, apparently no longer in use. I'm migrating to a new machine and would like to avoid junk if it's really junk. Is there a "cleanup" tool, or any guidance on how to identify and delete orphans?

Or... is there a way to "export" all and then "import" on a new machine. I've seen the migrate video, but it just tells how to copy/paste everything.

I need to forward the source information from emails I am receiving. Specifically these are spam emails that appear to be sent to me by me but of course I do not send myself spam. My email provider says I need to send him the source information from these emails but the only way I have found to do this is to open the source material and either 1) save it as a pdf or 2) cut and paste the source material into a new email message to my email provider. Both of these are tedious. In the old days I could expand the email header to reveal the source information and then forward the entire email with header (source info) visible but this option no longer seems available. Can you please help me? Much appreciated. --Harriet

A few versions of Thunderbird back, I could easily change the order of Local Folders by pressing down with the left mouse button and sliding the folder to the desired positions.

Now I can no longer do this.

Re-ordering local folders alphabetically would be helpful too.

Suggestions, please.

Ive collected an insane amount of pages in collections on my android phone. After syncing this and opening Firefox on a PC which does not understand collections I've lost all these links. Is this by design? I had such a nice recipe for potato asparagus salad which now is lost forever.

Sometimes when I open up firefox and try to navigate to a page, the browser refuses to load the page I want, instead it hangs on loading something else- contile-images.services.mozilla.org. It will sometimes do this for as long as several minutes before proceeding to the webpage I actually want to view. How do I fix this?

Hello! Thanks for your help with my situation.

I want to leave google so am trying Firefox. I like it except that I can't see all the tabs that I need to use at once. There is a slider function so I can only see 14 tabs. Then there are little arrows pointing left and right so I can have access to the other pages.

Is there a way that I can see all of the tabs I have open at once?

If I not, I may need to use another search engine.

Thanks for your time! Sincerely, Kathryn

I've tried seeing if anyone has had this issue but i'm not finding a thread.

TL;DR. Gmail authentication screen pops up but does not allow authentication. It deletes your email input and prompts for your email again.


FULL EXPLANATION: Thunderbird 101.0b4 and my gmail account was previsiously configured and working properly. My Gmail 2FA/MFA was in place before I set up my gmail in Thunderbird again.

I am not sure at what point it stopped working. I don't remember what possible change could have triggered this on my end. Nor do I know if it happened with it specific upgrade to Thunderbird.

For the last few weeks, I occasionally open Thunderbird to access my gmail and it attempts to fetch my email from google but it's unable to authenticate. A Gmail authentication screen pops up but does not allow authentication. I input my email address I hit enter. It deletes my email input and prompts for my email again. It gives no error message and does not change screens. It does not prompt for the password. Nothing.

I'm not seeing any security issues presented with Google. So I'm not sure what's blocking this.

Somewhen before or with 91.2.1, the default action when opening an existing email became "Edit draft message." (W10 19043, synching to GMail) That setting is nonintuitive and just wrong. A default should NEVER be an action that commits to an irreversable behavior path. Please fix.

This extremely bad design "feature" has apparently been around quite a while and generates exactly the problems returned by a search here on "delete attachments Thunderbird." I first noticed the behavior just about the time GMail introduced two-factor authentication. Maybe no connection there, but ...
