Been using Firefox since the 90s and been on Mac since 2000s. This problem has been happening for about a year, throughout three macbooks (my old one, a temp one, and my new one) and multiple Firefox updates. I'm always updated and always clear cookies daily.

The failure to move bookmarks I can overcome by rebooting Firefox with a Forced Quit. If I only have to do this every few weeks, then no biggy reinserting all my passwords for all the different sites I use (and no, I don't want to use password managers, I don't trust them)

Today it happened within hours of Force Quitting Firefox, this is too much!!!

The only reason I didn't report this problem earlier is I simply expected an eventual newer version of Firefox to fix this bug.

Firefox 133.0

Normal behaviour: click-drag bookmark within bookmark menu pull-down to position where I want bookmark Failure behaviour: click-drag fails to move bookmark, until I reboot Firefox, then it works again

Been using Firefox since the 90s, on macbookAir since 2010s, Firefox is my only preferred browser.

But this glitch has been happening for many years, and I just don't understand why Firefox don't fix it.

I frequently reboot my Firefox (generally by Force Quit, sometimes by quit/X-ing out.

Inevitably, when I reopen Firefox, the previous tabs don't open... that is, until I hit the "trouble resorting pages" button, followed by full restoration of tabs.

Can we just skip the "didn't work" button, and just get it to work?

In my latest update of Firefox, it has a new sidebar, which I do not want, but cannot get rid of, and is really annoying. Google searches suggest a few ways to get rid of it, but none of them work in my case. Please help me get rid of this new sidebar. Thank you!

I am grateful for the recently added ability to see a sender's URL in the "From" column. However, the URL is always preceded by a name or some other text; and when sorting the list in any folder on From, it sorts on the preceding text, not on the URL itself.

That prefix text is often (to me) meaningless and/or useless. I want to be able to sort on the URL itself without involving the text. If this is already possible I haven't figured out how to do it. If it's not possible now, I request that it be made available as a configurable option.

I can receive emails with Thunderbird, but cannot send emails. I tried the troubleshoot function, but do not understand enough to use it. Maybe I could uninstall Thunderbird, and then re-install it. Would I loose all my addresses and stored emails?

Thanks much, Lori Jirak

I have Zen browser all set up on my Mac Studio with two workspaces, nice colors, etc. I also installed it on my Macbook Pro, and I am signed into Mozilla on both computers. When I synced the Macbook Pro, it did seem to sync the bookmarks but that's about it. My workspaces do not show up, and many of the other settings (default font, etc) don't sync either. In the "Zen Browser->Settings" page I checked that all of the different sync categories are checked, including Settings and Workspaces and all the others. I'm unable to figure out how to get everything to sync and I haven't found answers in support or elsewhere on the internet.

This is Zen Browser 1.0.1-a.22 (Firefox 132.0.1) (aarch64) on the alpha update channel, and is the same on both devices. Operating system is Sequoia 15.1.1 on both devices also.

Hi there. I used the export/import functions to export my Thunderbird profile to a new computer.

It was largely successful. Many of my layout and general appearance settings were not imported to the new computer, but I just re-set those manually.

My last remaining problem is that it appeared that none of my local folders and messages were exported.

However, when I use file explorer to go to drive C on my new computer,

\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxxx.default-esr\Mail\Local Folders\Storage.sbd All of the folders, subfolders and messages are right there.

They're just not showing up in the directory tree pane or account pane (sorry, not sure what you really call it) in my main Thunderbird interface. All I see are "Trash" and "Outbox."

Anyone have any ideas as to how I make my local folders and messages re-appear?

Thanks,

Dave

I've written a program that runs every 15 minutes to look for any new emails that have arrived. So... (1) Can all emails be received automatically as separate .eml files? (2) After my program reads the .eml file, is it ok for my program to delete the file? (or is that going to screw up an index somewhere?) (3) I will be using Thunderbird for one email address with POP3 and SMTP. I will be using MS Outlook for other email addresses, also with POP3 and SMTP. Will Thunderbird and Outlook live happily together?

     Thank you,     Art Lieberman

This week the Appstore will not update Firefox as it has always done. I manually update apps when notified. It will update other apps but not Firefox. It demands Apple id but rejects it when presented. Maybe you can help?

Hi All,

Recently there has been so much of space coming in after the email signature of every reply or forward I do (before the email separator line). Can you please advise how can I remove it. Happened with the latest thunderbird update.

Trying to set up Thunderbird on new computer. I do NOT want to import anything but address book from old computer. I use Thunderbird to Gmail since I also have an Android phone and want to access emails with Thunderbird and Gmail. I downloaded the Thunderbird installer, but I cannot log into Gmail when the Thunderbird setup asks me to EVEN THOUGH I know I am using the correct Gmail password, it is rejected as incorrect. Do I need to set up a whole new Gmail account? I MUST use the same email address, and I doubt Google will allow me to set up a new account with that address.

Please help.

Firefox for years has allowed me to autofill user/password in apps. Now it says "unlock firefox" and I have to open firefox, settings, saved passwords and search! What a pain in the A__ ! Why are you (MOZILLA) acting like all the other monsters taking control of the people ! Give me control over my device ! OPTIONS ?

Every start of Thunderbird 128.4.0esr (64bit) on Windows 11 (64bit) I get a dialog with the message: "Zum Ausführen der gewünschten Aktion ist kein E-Mail-Programm zugeordnet. Installieren Sie ein entsprechendes E-Mail-Programm, oder erstellen Sie in der Systemsteuerung unter "Standardprogramme" eine Zuordnung, wenn bereits ein Programm installiert ist."

Thunderbird is the standard E-Mail programm in "Standardprogramme". Reinstallation of Thunderbird did not change the behavior. User account is not administrator. For installing Thunderbird, the administrator password was requested. Windows 11 is freshly installed. Thunderbird has been installed as one of the first programms. Windows is: Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2, installed 10.10.2024, build 26100.2033. Dialog appeared right from the beginning, even before a profile was imported, and at every program start.

I post-installed two extentions, but the dialog showed up before and after installation and also if I disable them. The dialog appears right after the Thunderbird window has been created (that is after the master password entry of the profile).

Playing around with settings, I experienced, that switching the Thunderbird language from German to English (US), the dialog and message disappear. Could you please fix it with the German language pack?

I'm trying to add Google chrome or any other search engine in as an additional one. So to add a new search engine you have to title it and then add in its address. I cannot figure out how to write this out correctly. Could someone please help. Thank you kindly.

Hello, yesterday, I asked for help about a problem I have with Thunderbird : "Sending an e-mail with an Outlook address is impossible with Thunderbird !"

I got this answer by david 5 déc. 2024, 20:49:45 :

"check that your SMTP server has these settings: smtp.office365.com, port 587, STARTTLS, Oauth2

There are thousands and thouusands of users using outlook accounts"

But my SMTP server settings are the same as those preconized by David !

Someone has another idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Patrick.

Following on from the archived question "How do I reinstate notification of number of new emails in my taskbar icon" at https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questions/1395000 . This question is solved and archived, but I had trouble understanding the solution and I think others may also, so I have found another solution to add the new emails (red numbers) to the Thunderbird tray icon on Windows.

Tools>Options>Add-ons Manager> (search) Windows Taskbar Unread Badge (--Put an unread mail count badge on the Thunderbird icon in the Windows taskbar--) > Add to Thunderbird.
