Such an annoying problem with current version 128.5.2esr. On one notebook with Windows 11 Hone I install the latest version (no Thunderbird previously installed), works fine.

One another notebook with Windows 11 Home existing Thunderbird freezes. After startup it just hangs, using so much CPU, that the battery is half drained after 30 minutes. Then reinstalling does not help. The same issue persists.

I read that uninstall does not remove the profiles and that cause the issues. Is that possible. Feature request. Also it would be fine to have the option to remove the profile on uninstall, so the non-tech savy user has also a chance of using this client.

I have finally decided to take a chance on upgrading TB from version 115.10.1 to 115.16.3 hoping that this would fix the huge delays and getting hung up checking my Gmail accounts but apparently not. Is there any hope or any answers?

Thunderbird migration to new computer

I am about to set up a new Windows 11 laptop. The old one is a Win10 one, running Thunderbird 128.4.3 32-bit. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet. My Thunderbird profile as recorded by Mozbackup is about 16GB - most of this is archived in Local Folders. I have 15 email accounts (using four different domains, none of them are gmail or hotmail etc) and a newsgroup.

I've looked at various answers (and problems!) around these factors and cannot see the wood for the trees. Can anybody tell me - or direct me to - a clear description of how to go about this? Some questions are:

1. Can I install 64-bit on the new laptop and copy over the old 32-bit profile? If not, is there any problem in continuing to use a 32 bit Thunderbird? I am getting a lot of hanging/not responding in the current TB. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet.

2. How do I ensure that all the archived mail is transferred without problems? I haven't compacted anything lately, since I noticed that sometimes a message stub is retained where the message body seems to have disappeared, and that compacting risks deleting even the message stub, which can be useful.

3. I've been using MozBackup for ages now but it is really ancient - is there a more up-to-date backup that would be reliable?

Thanks in advance! I'm planning on do the new installations at the weekend but anything I can do to prepare would be useful to know!

Последнее обновление сломало ВСЁ. Нажимаешь на сохранённую вкладку и ничего не происходит - странички не открываются и даже не пытаются загрузиться. Жмёшь на меню настроек, ничего не происходи. На синхронизацию - ничего не происходит. Сносил браузер, переустанавливал, чистил, ставил новую версию, ставил старую версию - НЕ РАБОТАЕТ НИЧЕГО. При этом браузер Edge нормально работает - через него и пишу Вам. Работаю на Window 10 (всё обновлено).

For the third time in a few months I have done an update and it breaks my Windows. My apps stop, my task bar disappears and becomes unavailable. I have to use Task Manager to either sign out and back in, restart Windows Explorer or re-boot the laptop. Then another update comes out and fixes that. But the inconvenience of having to shut down in the middle of a remote meeting is embarrassing to say the leas.

Come on guys. You are better than this - you are Mozilla not Microsoft - don't adopt their bad practices and procedures.

Almost every time I open Firefox it asks to update. I always say yes. After the update, it can't open any sites. Sometimes I get a message saying Firefox is already open. When I check the Task Manager, there are usually several instances of Firefox open. After ending all open Firefox's, I still can't open sites, it just runs until it times out. If I run a registry cleaner, and delete any bad registry entries, then Firefox will load sites. I feel like my Firefox may be corrupted and entering bad registry code. Is there a 'fix' I can run to correct these errors, or should I delete my Firefox and download a new copy. This problem started a few updates ago. I have the most current copy of Firefox, Version 133.0.3 (64-bit). I am running it on:

Device name LAPTOP-C2UVEEFH Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz Installed RAM 12.0 GB (11.9 GB usable) Device ID A5C7A4A4-F05C-488D-83A2-151AC8C536DC Product ID 00325-80064-27654-AAOEM System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points

Thank you for any suggestions you can give me, Jerre Johnson jerrej1950@verizon.net

After I did the 128.5.2esr update, none of my email accounts can get email with SSL/TLS on. It won't even try the server with SSL/TLS on. If I turn it off, then it can get mail. When I try to change to STARTTLS it will just hang showing checking server capabilities. Some accounts are imap and some POP3

Running Windows 10, version 22H2 updated 12/10/2024 OS Builds 19044.5247 and 19045.5247

Gmail works fine. I've tried the just about all of the things I have found online, but no luck.

Any suggestions? In the past I rolled back to a working version and that fixed it, but it hasn't worked this time. Would removing all of the certificates fix it? Didn't want to take that chance until I threw it out out here!

Thank you!
