Hello,

Thunderbird keeps crashing. That is about all that I can tell you. It started this morning (/when I got to work I fist noticed it). I have not used any add ons. I have been submitting crash reports. Crash data avaiable on request. I uninstalled and re installed, same result; crashes immediately on start up.

Please assist.

Thank you

This morning I saw that images were not downloading within my GMAIL messages. Believing that something was wrong with my connection, I decided to give both my computers a restart. This concerns my Windows 10 64-Bit, on which I had both Edge and Firefox opened, both with multi-tabs. In Firefox I had my Google account open with other tabs. After shutting down both computers I left my apartment. The Windows 10 restarted on its own; but both browsers lost their tabs even though I set each to reopen the previous session. With Edge and function keys I was able to restore my previous session; but not with Firefox. about:sessionrestore was not available. The Profile folder did not show a backup for these lost tabs. I hate hunting for them in History because I am working on multiple projects and don't have time for this wasteful activity, which is why I set Startup to Open Previous Windows And Tabs. What option did I miss?

Now, we have more wasted time. I reopened as many tabs as I remembered opened during the session I could not restore. Now, the only tabs that reopened since are the ones I opened that have posts about restoring sessions. The tabs I reopened are lost even though I checked off Open Previous Windows And Tabs. This browser is performing worse as of today for some reason I am not aware. What changed? From what I see here, there was no MS Windows update that might have occurred when I shut down and lost the tabs. Could I have disrupted the tabs by using the right hand, top corner "X" to shut out of Firefox?

This is getting more and more whacked up! It seems that every time I reopen a tab within the Library, it opens it in the same tab, overlaying the previous tab I opened.

My Android Firefox app suddenly changed the language for the menus. I now can't read the settings options. Can you describe how to change the menu back to English?

I am using Thunderbird 102.12.0 (but the problem may have started before the update) I have had this problem intermittently in the past but it only affected 1-2 emails but today it seems to be most of the emails in my inbox. It seems that multiple emails are being combined into one email so when I look at my inbox it will tell me who it is from and the title, but when I click on it the sender and title may disappear (or may not) and the email is multiple lines of text & code (not necessarily the body of that email it can be 1 or multiple other emails in there all mixed up with or without different sender details). I can view the emails with no problem on my iphone and using webmail so it seems to just be a Thunderbird problem. If I look at the email on my phone or web browser I can see it perfectly and forward it to myself and then it seems to be ok. All help appreciated! Thank you Jean

I've been a Thunderbird user for years. I have no idea what they changed recently, but it's incredibly, incredibly SLOW, almost to the point of unusability. Even something as simple as deleting emails.

I usually do these in chunks -- select multiples and delete. We're not talking about hundreds of emails at at time here, just maybe 5-15. Select them all, hit delete, and it should take just a couple of seconds to delete the messages. It did, in the past. But lately, it's taking so long that I could leave and make a sandwich, and when I come back, maybe it will be done. Maybe it will still be working, though, or maybe it will have locked up because it was taking so long.

It's pretty difficult to get work done at this rate.

I am running a Mac Mini M1, on the latest OS, after upgrading my TB I have just had 2 force quit because of TB. As you will see it is using over 40 GB of memory, normally between 500 - 600 MB

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks

TB has been extremely finicky the past few days with send and receive. The biggest issue is that the Get Messages / Get All New Messages stops responding altogether - it works fine, and then suddenly nothing except (sometimes) the word "null" next to the online icon at the bottom left, and a pulsating blue progress bar in the Activity Manager area, that disappears after a moment.

A few times I have been able to "fix" it by going to Server Settings and changing Connection Security to None temporarily, but this doesn't work every time.

Another "solution" is to change the password on the mail server, which prompts TB to demand the PW. This is not a good solution, as the password must then be changed on any/every other device that connects to the mail server, and then the problem repeats after some period.

Other times, and per a suggestion on another thread with a similar subject line, clicking on the "go offline" icon at the bottom, generates a prompt to download emails before going offline, and this seems to cause a demand for password, which allows emails to be downloaded, but this also seems like a band-aid. What is going on here? Windows 10 64 Bit TB 102.11.0 (64-bit)

Netzero says I am located in Phoenix, Az. I am in Tucson, Arizona. It won't let me change it. I have tried numerous times but to no avail. What is the solution to this? I am going crazy trying to rectify this on my own.

Version 115.8.1 (64) I block messages by domain (domain.com), rather than whole addresses, because spammers are constantly changing their whole address (nutjob@domain.com). The filters don't always catch them when they arrive, and then they sit in the folder, indefinitely. The "Manually Run" and "Periodically, every 10 minutes" options are both selected. The "Periodically..." option does not appear to be working (as I expect it to), so I eventually will go and hit the "Run Now" button to get rid of unwanted mail. I can also quickly delete them using the "Run Filters On Folder" option in the "Tools" menu. It would be great if the filtering worked automatically. Thanks

After the last update, my Tbird no longer functions as it used to. Problems:

1. I can't find the button to begin a new email. I have to go to the account CuriousQuestor@centurylink.net, then click on the 'Write a new message' link to open a new email.

2. My files disappeared. I had 100 or more files that I used to keep information for quick referral. They included copies of correspondence, URL links, important things like coded passwords and even recipes. They used to be listed on the side, and now I can't figure out any way to get them back.

3. The new version of adding a color tag sucks. It used to take just a click of a button. Now I have to click on 'more' then click on the color tag. I use tagging very frequently to help sort out the importance of emails. Can you move it back on the next update, please?

4. I CAN'T FIND THE *_)(^%$&()!!! BUTTON TO CHECK FOR NEW EMAILS! Where did you put it???

5. Is there a way we can refuse the latest update, if we're happy with the version we already have?

Thanks for taking the time to help. Overall, you guys really do a great job - and should be commended more for your work. Today was just the day I "hit the brick wall" ! Thanks again.  ;D

I have noticed an issue with lists (bullet & numbered) for a while now and thought it was about time I checked to see if it can be sorted!

If I start a new message and there is no text and then I press the Bullet button then this is OK.

However, if I.....

• Start with a blank message
• Type a line of text
• Hit Return twice
• Press the Bullet button - this moves the cursor up to previous line
• Press the Bullet Button - this moves the cursor up to the end of text on previous line
• Press the Bullet button - this put a bullet symbol at start of the line of text

This makes it very frustrating trying to add a bulleted list in the middle of a message.

I saw a previous thread when the OP was having the same problem and his solution seemed to be connected with his HTML signature, but I don't have a signature set up.

This is version 115.9.0 (32-bit) running on Windows 10.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Playback of videos on the invideo.io site is not supported. Also the Tiktok account page for uploading videos says Firefox is not supported. Both sites recommend Chrome or Edge instead. I'm using the latest version on my laptop. Firefox is my default browser so would like these sites to work.

I have both Gmail and Aol accounts on my installation, 115.9.0. My aol account is behaving funny. If I choose to display only unread emails, the screen goes blank and no messages show. I then click on sent message, click back on incoming and the messages reappear in the "all" messages display. The Gmail account is just fine, I can click between "All" and "Unread only" with no issues. Can't figure out what's going on.

Good morning, On 20/07 I noticed that Thunderbird duplicated all the defects. The option to remove duplicates does not work - no duplicates found. How can I fix this?

You have recently released version Thunderbird 128.1.1 in which you have changed the Compact View so that it is effectively no longer a Compact View, because the spaces have been increased between the Folders in the sidebar folder pane. I have been using Thunderbird for a couple of months and really liked the Compact View but now it has been spoiled. I don't understand why it was necessary to change this, and would be grateful if you would please revert the Compact View to how it appeared in version 115

Kind regards

Hello: Passwords from CSV file: "firefox logins.csv" does NOT show up in the "Import Browser Data" box? I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows7 and firefox (Firefox Setup 115.14.0esr.exe). I'm unable to import my "Passwords from CSV file" because it is not included in the "Import Browser Data" box (see Attachments (pics). Note: I do not use the Browser in this picture only firefox. How than can I import this .csv file? Regards -mdc

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 supply software that uses TB to send emails with an attachment (via MAPI - an invoice) I have a number of customers for whom this has stopped working. I tested all of these with the usual fixes. The app has full access to the folder containing the file. The app is set as administrator and is inside the firewall. I have set default mail app to TB. TB is set to check as default on startup. Yet windows keeps saying we need to define a default email client. One customer solved the problem by buying a new PC. I have another customer who has this problem on a new PC. There may be a common denominator in Microsoft Office which on loaded onto the PC's. If that is the problem then that is Microsoft denying access to TB? Has anyone had this problem and can suggest a fix I would be grateful.
