Note: I have copied previous versions of the Firefox profiles files to my active profiles folder, but this does not bring back the lost tabs.

I just recently installed the VPN on Firefox. It hadn't shown up because of my privacy settings. It works fine except for the United States connection. When I choose the other countries, it works fine, but when I choose United States, it still shows Japan (where I live). It still shows Japan, but it does have an effect. It changes it to Tokyo, where I don't live. So, the vpn is having some effect, but it is just not connecting to the United States. Why is that?

On two different Windows machines, current Firefox (153.0.1), the alt-d shortcut stops working: it does nothing until I restart Firefox. Then it works again for a while. I've tried about:keyboard and it's not reset there. I tried all combinations: Clear, Reset, setting it to alt-d explicitly. None of those worked. But when I set it to alt-a, that worked--but then resetting back to alt-d again didn't work. That shortcut is muscle memory at this point, so it's quite distressing. Not sure what diagnostics might be available to help here, happy to try anything.

Full disclosure: Both machines are Windows 10 but since that's stable, I find it hard to believe that's related.

Hello. I have been unable to send email from one of several POP accounts on Thunderbird (v 115.18.0). I believe this occurred after Network Solutions changed the SMTP server for that email account. I am able to send email from my Gmail IMAP account setup on the same Thunderbird program on my PC. I have tried all the port and authentication settings for SLS/TLS and STARTTLS, changed/updated passwords, etc. I do not get any error messages, just never receive the test email I send to my other accounts. I updated the SMTP server on my iPhone mail app to the new NetSol SMTP and it works on that platform. I just cannot get it to work on Thunderbird on my PC. NetSol support said to delete account and start over which is not possible as it is my business email account. Also, the inbox is too large to back-up to an external drive. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. John

I always train the junk filter by marking mails that are erroneously sent to the spam folder as "Not Junk". They are transferred back to the Inbox as one would expect, but after a few minutes some (not all, but most) are again moved from the Inbox to the Spam folder. This happens repeatedly every time I mark these legitimate mails from addresses that should not arouse suspicion anyway, such as theguardian.com (an address that is in my address book, so should be whitelisted anyway) or Arri.com, just to name two current examples. Why is Thunderbird overriding my "Not Junk" flag? How can I train the junk filter if Thunderbird ignores this? Is there something in the Settings I'm missing?

I use a number of add-ons to help me out. Unfortunately, the following add-ons aren't working right now: Quicktext, Send Later, TbSync (where and how do I integrate it into Thunderbird?). When sending an email, I have to go through “File” > “Send”—there’s no button for it. The VBA call to send a generated email truncates the string, so the attachment isn’t included.

I’m sure some add-ons will be updated. But this is hitting me hard right now.

My recollection is that prior to a recent automatic update to Thunderbird 140.12.1esr (64-bit) when I had a message composition window open, there were "SEND" button and possibly a "SEND LATER" button (to the left of the addressee and cc addresses in addition to the keyboard shortcuts (CTRL ENTER and CTRL SHIFT ENTER).

Following the update, there is no longer anything to the left of the addressee information. I have checked the toolbar menus, and there do not appear to be any button options. I can still send messages, but the lack of the buttons is a hindrance.

I tried the Toolbar fixes in this forum and got the menu to show up, thank you. (Any menu in Compose mode had disappeared. Actually, both Firefox and Thunderbird icons on desktop and Taskbar had disappeared as well, and I had to reinstate shortcuts. This may or may not be pertinent.)

But when I try to add "Send" to the menu, using customize, the "Send" icon is nowhere to be found as an option, so I cannot add it to the Toolbar in Composition mode. "Send" is grayed out in all bold textmenus. If I use Ctrl-Enter, message does get sent. Using Windows 10, still. Perhaps this is an upgrade issue?

I recently switched from Debian to Fedora Workstation. Everything works fine, even better under Fedora, except Firefox. There is this quirk, where whenever I wake up my system from suspension, and I try to search something, Firefox just shows a loading sign as if it was loading the page, but I see via the inspect tool that it isn't even sending any HTTPS requests to the server. I know this problem specifically affects Firefox, because other programs that require an internet connection, such as fetching mail via Thunderbird or installing packages via DNF work completely fine. In order to get Firefox to actually work, I have to completely close and reopen the application, forcing me to lose unsaved work in some cases. I've tried everything, from restarting my machine to waiting to see if it will be patched in a future update, but nothing has gotten better. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

Good Day.

I have encountered a problem recently with on particular forum site.

When I attempt to login I receive an error after pressing the submit button. 

The form displays this error "The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again."

I have been using the site regulary for several years and have never had this problem

The following is what I am using:

    Firefox ver 153.0.1 64 bit
    Windows 10 and/or Windows 10 (yes this is happening on all 3 of my PCs)

The forum site is using phpBB Forum Software. I do not know the version. As stated above they have been using this software for several years.

In trouble shooting this issue I have discovered that if I do the following in the specified order I can login and create and respond to posts and Private Messages. But as soon as I log out I receive the invalid form message until I do the following steps again.

            1) Clear all cookies, temporary cache, site settings, browsing and download history, site settings
               and saved form info.
            2) Shutdown Firefox 
            3) Navigate to my profile with Windows Explorer 
            4) Delete the file cookies.sqlite

I must do this each and every time I access the site.

I am at a loss as to what to do about this. Does Firefox have any error logs or console logs? If so how can I enable them to see if I can get a better idea of what is happening?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
