My windows 10 PC died. I copied the the profiles folder from the old appdata/roaming/Thunderbird to the new Win11 PC, but TB does not pick it up, asking to create a new account "John Doe". Any ideas? Best, K.

When trying to access many popular websites with Firefox on my Fedora 43 installation, I am greeted with a security warning page with the SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER error. For most of these websites I can simply accept and continue, but HSTS-only sites will not permit this.

Affected websites include but are not limited to (based on exceptions in the certificates section of Firefox settings):

• github.io (many subdomains)
• purdue.edu (many subdomains)
• iu.edu
• ebay.com
• cbsnews.com
• iwm.org.uk
• home.cern
• celestrak.org

Any help in resolving this is appreciated.

Hi!

I can't get messages from my Thunderbird account. When I click "Get messages" nothing happens and it usually says "Done" on the bottom left corner. I have to use my domain's webmail account to get my e-mail and it only allows me to read it and delete junk.

I really would love to have my Thunderbird account working again as soon as possible.

Thanks so much, Nancy Pedersen

My Thunderbird was not finding messages that I could see were there.

I followed the advice here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database.

I deleted the (large) global-messages-db.sqlite (I have been using Thunderbird for a long time - and I am monthly contributor).

The rebuild gets to a certain point and then stops (as indicated by Tools Activity Manager). Always at the same point. I guess there is a bad message in there somewhere. But now I am worse off than before.

I tried rebuilding several times. I have also compacted the account folders of the account that stopped and then tried rebuilding.

I have many years of messages in there and I need a functioning search. What can I do?

Tuesday Oct. 7, our ISP converted to a new e-mail program. I could NOT log in/on I called our ISP's help desk. The 'technician' could not help me log in to our Thunderbird POP 3 account. He had me, WITHOUT asking if I had essential - legal - medical-etc. e-mails in the IN BOX or in folders! He NEVER warned/cautioned all ?would? be lost - GONE.

I URGENTLY need to recover all TB POP3 IN BOX & e-mails in folders. I need to access legal messages today, if possible.

If Mozilla does not have a recovery program, what do I do? I am not seeking to recover ' deleted messages (unless his having me change from the POP3 account to a 'new' IMAP account is the same as ' "delete" '.

Any & all prompt responses APPRECIATED! Remain WELL & Be SAFE!

My bookmarks on my laptop has lost 90% of my bookmarks. I try to sync with my PC but nothing happens and the laptop remains the same. I've tried closing the browser and logout and login again but nothing changes. I've turn of the laptop and turning on still nothing. How can I be log in and see a different layout, it doesn't make any sense. The only thing I have change on this laptop is down loaded a new version of CClean. Which I have already done the day before on my PC. I've attached a copy of both screens 743 is from my PC and the other 534 is from my laptop.

Hello...I'm currently having a problem with Yahoo Mail having too many messages in the account, and as a result, I cannot receive new mail in my Yahoo account. It was suggested to use Thunderbird to download everything from my Yahoo Mail account. I've downloaded Thunderbird, set up the server parameters as instructed, and it appears to have downloaded (synchronized) everything just as it appears in my Yahoo Mail account, via iMap. I would like to currently (temporarily) stop Thunderbird from downloading and synchronizing with my Yahoo Mail account so that I can sort through and delete/save/organize what's been downloaded into Thunderbird, and delete everything in my Yahoo Mail account so that I can resume receiving new mail messages in my Yahoo Mail account. I like the Thunderbird app so far and am considering using it as a one stop app for all of my online email accounts...Yahoo, Gmail, etc. I apologize for taking up time and space for this question, as I'm presuming it's something pretty simple to do, but for some reason, I'm just not seeing how to do this in Thunderbird Settings. Can someone please guide me on how to do this? I used iMap to download/synchronize my Yahoo Mail with Thunderbird. Thanks in advance!!

I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.

However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

I always have two windows of Firefox open, one for each monitor. Up until recently Firefox would always restore both windows exactly as they were before I right clicked the Firefox icon in the taskbar and clicked "close all windows". This week however my browser will only restore one of the two windows I had open, and I have to restore the other one manually which is annoying. Can anyone help me bring back the old behavior so it restores both my windows every time?

I keep having issues with Firefox, and many times I have to switch to another browser to get things done. Getting support from other accounts I usually have to change browsers to be able to communicate with them. It makes me sad as I have been using Firefox for a LONG time, but it looks like I will be migrating over to Brave or Chrome..... sigh.....

Dear Firefox Team,

It has re-occurred to my Firefox Browser of the latest version of 115.28 with some websites which I have recently visited however which have appeared 8 grids of blank or white pages again under "Recent Activity" as attached with the image for your technical troubleshooting suggestion.

Those 8 grids of Recent Activity in the older version of Firefox browsers used to have shown colorful graphics or images representative of the recent websites I visited in the recent past.

May I know what I am supposed to do to recover those graphics or images?

Kindly offer any suggestion or solution?

Thank you for your kind attention.

Mr. Topaz Chiu
