Since April 5th I have lost spell check in the message pane of the emails I type on outlook.live.com It still works in the subject line, but not the message area.

Windows 10 pro 22H2 updated to end of March, when spell check was still working well. Firefox 137.1 English Canada Language selected (has worked well for years)

I go to outlook.live.com to read and answer my @hotmail.com emails.

When right clicking on a misspelled word in the message area I get only these options, Firefox does not give me the usual options.

I am currently having other problems on that site, clearing outlook.live.com cookies does not clear the problems.

The subject says it all. I am expecting to see a link to page(s) that describe how to create an account and supply the necessary details. I managed to create an account for outlook, but can't repeat the process for AOL/verizon for what eve reason,

Can I use Thunderbird to build an incremental local backup/archive of all messages transiting (incoming/outgoing) a webmail account ?

Any idea how to achieve this ?

My problem is:

• A POP3 account will miss all folders except the Inbox. (It's a pity that POP4 has not gained traction yet.)
• An IMAP account creates a mirror, not a backup. Remote deletions in the webmail account must not delete messages from my backup and vice versa.

detailed requirements:

• one-way sync only, since a local backup/archive must be built, not a mirror (two-way synchronization):
• Remote deletions must not cause local deletions (otherwise it would be a mirror, not an archive/backup).
• Local move/delete operations must not be reflected back to the mail server.
• Read‐only access to the mail server: no moves, deletes or flags remotely.
• All messages in all folders must be included in the backup: Inbox, Sent, custom folders, etc. Since POP3 can only back up the Inbox, I will probably have to settle for IMAP to include all folders.
• No duplicates: Messages must not be stored locally more than once.
• Messages must be stored as full offline copies locally (not just headers).

After Windows crashed, I installed a new system and logged into Firefox using my account. But all my history, passwords, bookmarks were erased. I also went to my phone and everything was gone. I didn't erase anything myself. Is there any way to restore the previous state of the account? Are there any backups on the Firefox Sync server?

I am converting my 32-bit TBird v115.18 to the latest 64-bit version that runs on Windows 7. I know how to do the update but I want to make sure that my 32-bit data will open properly after the conversion. I know that if I download emails from my 64-bit PC and try to open them in the 32-bit PC, some of them get corrupted. I would like to make that does not happen from 32 to 64 bit.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. Since calendar category colorization is not very visible ...

... I created separate calendars for every category. This is semantically wrong but has a nice look – events are fully colored by category:

I now regret this choice and want to correct it:

I need to move >1000 calendar events from calendar "medical" to my "home" calendar and (at one go) assign the category "medical":

from [calendar: "medical" / category: none] --> to [calendar: "home" / category: "medical"]

How can I do this ?

After Firefox requested to be updated, I lost all of my bookmarks. I tried to go in and "restore" them but there are no backups to restore from. How do I get my bookmarks back?

At one time my Thunderbird account had a button at the top that said Tools. I could go in there and hit something like "delete all emails marked as spam" and all emails with a red mark would be deleted. That button is no longer there. I have over 4000 emails, most of which are tagged to delete, but I can't figure out how to delete them all at once, and I don't have time to delete them individually. Help please!

Youtube is suddenly not showing a full page. After scrolling down a short way, it stops and the last two rows are blank (see attachment). I let it sit for 30 minutes hoping it would load, but nothing change d. I tried another browser and it works fine. I cleared cookies and cache, but that did nothing. Thanks.

Hi:

C:\Users\DonB\AppData\Roaming\Betterbird\Profiles\yssi9i86.default\Mail\outlook.office365.com

Above is my account (new since MS changed the server name. I use Help->Tools->Import to import my account data from Account: pop.outlook.com, all I get is an Inbox loading messages from the newer server name.

HELP!! Thanks, Don

I am working on a shopify POD store. I have printify up and running. They have a placeit extension that you can access the entire library of placeit mockups within your printify product. For some reason it does not seem to work within Firefox. I can get it to work within chrome, but not firefox. Feel free to contact me and help me figure it out. The pop up allows me to enter credentials, but not connect and download to printify.

i'm trying to help NetBSD by maintaining rust for a number of NetBSD targets. As part of that, I use rust and verify that its "major packages" still build, firefox among them. Recently I found (ref. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/143904) that by default, firefox would no longer build natively on NetBSD/i386 (really i586 / i686, in 32-bit mode). I found a workaround, namely to turn off address-space layout randomization, but this indicates we are already balancing too close to the border of the 3GB per-process data segment size for comfort. A hint given there was that I could try to turn off LTO (link-time optimization), since it reportedly gives at best modest gains for considerable cost in terms of build time and VM space requirements during the build.

So... This is my first encounter with the firefox configure machinery which is different from most other similar things, and I appear to be unable to find a way to instruct the configure machinery to build without LTO. The configure script accepts `--disable-lto` (no, that is not present in the `--help` output), but evidently this option does not do what it implies: I still see rustc threads during the build which set their name to a string containing "lto".

So... "Help!"

Gmail, Calendar, YouTube either timeout, or they render in an unusable state that looks like the html engine is broken. However, bringing up firefox in troubleshooting mode is fine. Earlier today I did update Java. Otherwise no difference. Other browsers are also fine. Firefox is my default browser so this is a bit unworkable.

For now, I will use Firefox troubleshooting mode...

Thanks David

I was forced to erase my PC because it was infected with malware. I saved my Tbird profile to my HDD before erasing. I pasted the saved profile to %Appdata% >Thunderbird, copying 1,777 items. When I brought up Tbird, I got the Account Setup window, so I don't think the profile was actually there. What did I do wrong?
