Search in Thunderbird has never worked reliably for me. I've deleted and rebuilt GloDa, and am now monitoring indexing progress in the Activity Manager.

After recently enabling indexing for a couple of additional folders, every time I start Thunderbird it seems to index a few emails (maybe 20 or 30 or so) then hangs, and the indexing progress stops.

My total number of messages in my entire Thunderbird profile, across every folder in all of the few email addresses I have, is a couple of thousand emails. We're not talking anything crazy here.

There are gigabytes of RAM available and hundreds of gigaabytes of free storage space on the local volume.

Any ideas?

Co żeście spieprzyli w tej przeglądarce? Claude AI zawiesza całą przeglądarkę. Od kilku wersji coś jest fundamentalnie zchrzanione bo nawet Pikvm nie serwuje obrazu. Do tego popsuliście coś z profilami, że nie można wrócić do starej wersji przeglądarki. Cała masa błędów. Na siłę próbujecie udaremnić działanie wtyczek blokujących szpiegowanie użytkowników?

I am running Thunderbird 140.9.1esr on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

For a long time now, Thunderbird often runs at high CPU (80-100% of one core), for several minutes at a time (5-10 minutes). This seems to happen many times every day, with no apparent cause from my end. (I just got back from Lunch, and the fan on my laptop was going crazy because of the high CPU.)

What can we do to identify and fix this issue?

Hey there since a week when I brows with Firefox on Windows desktop the RAM uses jumped from around 60% spiked to 92-95% RAM and that changed just come a long a week ago. If change brows like Chrome different story, back down at 65. So you can also see a massive number on Firefox system running.

Question: Whats the reason for the change? What happend?

Best, Janosch

Thunderbird causes my machine to 'hang' from time to time,

1. often for up to a second and usually a number of times in quick succession on each ocasion. Sometimes this happens frequently - say every 5 or 10 minutes - sometimes only after an hour or more since the past occurrance.

2. My machine hangs completely - nothing will work, mouse, keyboard, sound, other apps etc. If I happen to be typing (into any app - including Thunderbird - when this happens, input ceases, the cursor freezes and - if the problem persists for a second or two, Windows reports "[app] is not responding"

3. I cannot be certain, but I believe the problem occurs whilst messages are being retrieved.

This is a very serious problem as it means that I can never leave TB running as the problems it causes are not acceptable.

4. This means I cannot deal with incoming messages without periodically re-starting TB - which is an utter PIA.

I am running Win 11 Professional on a 2-year old machine with 64 Gb of memory. I have run TB in Troubleshoot mode, I have confirmed that the problem occurs regardless or whatever other apps are running (or none) and I have proven conclusively that no other app causes any kind of similar problem.

Looking forward yto hearing if others have had the same issue and what can be done about it.

Anyone else had problems the last two weeks with performance? I'm on a macbook (Tahoe 26.3.1) and in the last two weeks tabs are constantly crashing or freezing. I have never had this before. It's doing my head in and I'm about to make the painful move over to Chrome if nobody has any ideas how to fix it?! I don't want to do that as all my bookmarks etc are set up on Firefox...

bold text On brand new DELL Alien-ware laptop with Windows 11 Firefox sometimes takes 30 seconds to open, Also once it is closed it cannot immediately open again. Error message shows Firefox is already opened and asks me to close it.

In the task manager under Apps running I see Firefox(12) when only the home page is open. Are those 12 hidden tabs or 12 parallel applications?

Have I made some errors in the Setup?

I am running an iMac Catalina 10.15.7. Since Firefox just updated itself my system keeps crashing so bad that I have to do a hard shut down. Yesterday I had to do this over a dozen times to get through my session. Firefox was the last browser compatible with my Mac. Is this no longer the case?

I am having severe problems downloading and syncing my emails with TB 142.0. I opened TB this morning, for example, and it took more than 20 minutes for it to download my emails. When I go to the next email, it takes a couple of minutes to load it. I have had some issues with slow syncing before, but this is very bad. I note that the emails work fine on my phone. Also, this happens on my main Gmail hosted account, but also on my other Siteground hosted accounts. TB seems to be lost in some kind of loop when syncing.

For some time now, TB (147.0.1 (64-bit)) has been VERY slow loading, the first thing in the morning. If I close it and re-open, it opens at the normal--and desirable!--speed. Any thoughts? Regards, Dave

During most attempts to move emails to folders in Thunderbird, the operation does not occur for five to ten seconds. Often, I will see a "systems busy" circle during the operation. This has been going on for weeks...

It's a big time waster. I can't do anything else in Thunderbird until the "Move" has been completed.

Good afternoon!

We use Thunderbird for our business across several computers. However, on the main computer, we've suddenly received blank tabs at the top of the page, as if an open email thread is there. There are about ten or so of these blank open tabs, and you cannot exit them. The X button doesn't work on them, nor does Ctrl + W.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software, and we've tried a shutting everything down and restarting the computer, but nothing seems to get rid of the tabs.

Is this an issue others have experienced and, if so, what's the best remedy for it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’ve been using Thunderbird on Android for emails, and I’ve noticed that notifications sometimes get delayed when I’m gaming on my phone. During longer gaming sessions, emails don’t show up right away and only appear after I exit the game or switch apps.

I’m guessing it might be related to background app restrictions or battery optimization, but I’m not completely sure. I’ve also noticed something similar while playing heavier or modded versions of Stick War: Legacy (https://stickwarmods.com/), where the game tends to keep the phone more “locked into performance mode,” and background apps (like email clients) seem to get deprioritized. In those cases, notifications also feel delayed until I minimize or close the game, which makes me think it’s more about Android’s background process management during sustained gaming sessions rather than the email app itself.

Has anyone else experienced delayed notifications with Thunderbird Android while gaming? Any tips on keeping notifications timely without affecting game performance would be really helpful.

I have a Postfix/Dovecot server that hosts 10 of my domains from one IP.

When you open Thunderbird, it checks the domains you have preset. I have two. This happens immediately, especially if there is no new mail on the server. Everything works fine.

If you have other domain mailboxes open, and I have eight more, and you click the inbox on each one, Thunderbird stalls at the fifth mailbox, regardless of the inboxes' selected order.

tail -f /var/log/mail.log - confirms this.

I have reset or modified everything I can think of. My server is not throttling Dovecot.

This must be something internal to Thunderbird, possibly related to only using a specific mail server IP for all domains.

Google AI suggests assigning a unique local IP alias to each domain on my server so Thunderbird thinks it’s talking to 10 different machines. This seems extreme.

Any solutions?
