I didn't know where to write this - I just wanted to say how deligtful it was to find how easy it was to import the thunderbird desktop settings into the mobile app - a total breeze - so well done whoever sorted that out - an absolute joy rather than hours of frustration!

Thank you and well done team

Hello,

When I receive e-mails with this content :

<xml>

    <o:officedocumentsettings>      
         <o:allowpng></o:AllowPNG>      
         <o:pixelsperinch>96</o:PixelsPerInch>      
    </o:OfficeDocumentSettings>  

</xml>

The "96" (from <o:pixelsperinch>) is displayed in the HTML view in Thunderbird ! Is that normal ?

Thanks Fred Pralong

Hi,

after a while of inactivity (Maybe 2-5 Minutes or so?) when using Firefox I am not able to load any webpages anymore. It does not matter if I reload a page or try to open a new one. The loading wheel just keeps spinning infinitely. I then have to close all Firefox windows and reopen Firefox. It then shows a popup where it says something about Firefox still running and asks if I want to close it. I then close it and now I am able to reopen Firefox and pages load fine again.

Is there any solution to this issue? I tried to google the issue but could not find much help.

Hello,

This started happening recently, in the last 30 days. Gray screen is shown when I clink on any photo in "Your memories from this day" email from photos@onedrive.com. If I go to OneDrive, then select today's date the issue is the same.

I've tried the same actions in Chrome and the photos are shown without issues.

Can someone help with this?

Regards, Petar

When viewing Kannada text in Firefox 142.0.1 (64-bit) on macOS [your version], conjunct letters (ottaksharas/ligatures) do not display correctly. Instead of showing combined forms like ಶ್ರೀ (shri), ತ್ವ (tva), ತ್ರ (tra), the characters appear split into individual glyphs.

This issue is browser-specific:

In Safari and Chrome, the same text renders properly with correct Kannada shaping.

In Firefox, the ligatures fail to render, making Kannada text appear broken and unreadable.

Apple Support confirmed that the system rendering is fine and advised reporting this to Firefox.

Example text (should be tested): ಚೊಕ್ಕಾಡಿ ಶ್ರೀರಾಮ ದೇವಾಲಯದ ವಾರ್ಷಿಕೋತ್ಸವ

Hi Support,

have been running Thunderbird for half a year, no issues, suddently last week, I get an error on one of my POP3 accounts in same Thunderbird program.

Error reads "Kunne ikke skrive mailen i mailmappen. Sørg for at du har skriverettigheder til filsystemet, og at du har nok diskpladstil at kopiere mailmappen"

According to my provider, it is a problem with my email program.

I have tried to compress, archieve to generate more room, even restartet, program and computer. Still same issue. Still have 23 GB of free disk spare on my drive.

Any ideas

Hello there! I have v. 142 on two notebooks and I want to export the calendar from the one to other. I use: right click -> Export or Event & Tasks - > Export. Both create a file around 1Mb.

My Thunderbird (version 115.12.2) is running on a Windows 11 system. My profile has multiple accounts configured as IMAP to multiple email services. I also have the Status Bar and Activity indicator enabled. Randomly, both indicators will show busy for an extended period of time. When I view this in the Activity Manager I see one or more folders hung for 10 or 20 minutes downloading one message out of several. This occurs in multiple accounts and servers.

I have researched this and attempted the fixes presented. I have cleared the cache files and compacted and rebuild email folders as suggested, but the slow update still occurs.

Then I decided to try and capture a ProMon.exe trace to see what is happening. What I found was Thunderbird.exe was spending all of the time while hung access the following file: C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\LocalLow\Intel\ ShaderCache\4a5eb0e65e559fc08e65ecb2fa9d650817ae895582a7a7ede162866d3e47a05a, like it was stuck in a loop.

When Thunderbird is operating normally, it is accessing this file but only for short period of times. Research says that it is ok to delete the files in this folder. I did that and it seemed to help for awhile. But it started happening again.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Is there a Windows thing to look further into? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

when i open firefox and have one tab open, doesnt matter what site it will freeze and i go to task manager and it says i have 15 open and ill end task and open again and it will say more or less

Hi all.

This is a long message. I've tried to give as much info to reproduce a frustrating and re-occurring problem.

Firefox regularly freezes when my PCs resume from sleep. Multiple PCs, Windows 10 and Windows 11. Unfortunately it is hard to reproduce because it depends on a number of conditions and pages to be opened. I've had this problem with Firefox for many years now, easily since 2015. Because I normally only notice it when resuming from sleep and the combined problems, I've struggled to identify the exact trigger combination.

Has anyone else seen this? I will try gather debug logs next time it starts again. In the meantime, has anyone got a suggestion?

Troubleshooting attempts

• Over the past years I have tried clearing cache, cookies, resetting FF, restarting the PC, starting FF in troubleshooting mode, disable and even uninstall all plug-ins, and much more.

Nothing solves it, but it is usually intermittent.

Problem trigger conditions • The problems seem related to when the network device resumes the connection. When the problem occurs after resuming from sleep, it can be reproduced when network connection is restarted. • It doesn't happen if I immediately sleep the PC and wake it again. That might be because the network remains 'awake' for a while. • It is highly dependent on the web pages open in Firefox at the time AND which Firefox window they're in AND the session in the pages that are open or something about the activity (scripts / session) on the page that is triggered when the network is re-established. • A combination will cause one or more Firefox app windows to freeze • Sometimes I can reproduce the problem 50+ times over two days in a row by restarting a wired network connection. Then the problem disappears. For example: ○ I found one Firefox window was freezing during a test, but a second empty one did not. I then moved all but the active tab (where I was logging this ticket) to the other Firefox window. The first page in the primary FF window kept freezing, but the other tabs moved to a new app window did not. I then move a "working page" back to the primary FF Window and the "problem page" to the other Firefox window, and the problem disappeared and wouldn't occur again. ○ This situation is quite common. With a combination of pages open, on the same PC, Firefox freeze everytime after resuming or the network connection is restarted, even with all pages "unloaded" from Firefox, so they shouldn't be doing anything. Later, I might close a set of pages when I'm done, and the problem goes away.

Environment:

• Multiple Windows PCs over the past 6 or more years
• Clean and upgraded operating systems
• Windows 10 and 11 Pro 64bit, all with latest patches installed.
• Firefox - always latest version. If Firefox is uninstalled and re-installed, the sessions and open pages are lost, to the problem is gone for a while, but then re-appears.
• I use my Firefox account to sync everything: settings, bookmarks, tabs etc. between multiple PCs.

I also have Firefox on my Android phone, Samsung S24, also sync'd to the same Firefox account. I always sleep my PC with Firefox and other apps running, with many tabs open in FF.

Symptoms:

• When it has frozen, Firefox app is the only one frozen. The other Windows apps work normally.
• In Firefox, you'll see these symptoms:

  - Nothing inside the FF window works, but if not full screen, you can move it around and all the content shows normally. You can also minimize and maximize the window from the Windows toolbar. It doesn't matter how many Firefox windows or tabs are open, all are hanging the same way.
  - You cannot close Firefox from the toolbar.
  - As you move the mouse cursor onto the FF app, the first cursor image set (resize icon or whatever) when it goes onto the FF app, is retained until you move the cursor off then app. Once off, the cursor is back to the arrow pointer.
  - All Firefox windows open when it becomes frozen, remain frozen for minutes or hours, until you restart Firefox. (See how to restart below, without losing anything).
  - You can resize the FF window by dragging the edges or corners. Existing content is cropped when you shrink the window as if it's a screenshot image being cropped. The content is not redrawn when you enlarge the window.

How to get restart FF without killing the app:

• When the FF window(s) are frozen, you *can* open a new Firefox window by right-clicking on Firefox in the Windows toolbar, and choosing "Firefox" or "Open new window". That new window is full responsive and everything in that window and successive windows work 100%.
• You can then close Firefox using ctrl-shift-Q (Firefox menu > Exit), which closes all the FF app windows.
• Then, I can start Firefox again from the menu / pinned app and all windows open again as they were, with nothing lost. All the tabs open as well in each window, just as before the freeze. I can continue without anything lost except maybe session info. Even this partly typed message and session wasn't lost when I did a test.

I hope someone can help resolve this.

Thanks in advance. Brian
