For the past month or two, at random times when I open Firefox, I see a message stating, "Looks like you reinstalled Firefox." To be clear I have not uninstalled Firefox in any instance where this message has been displayed.

When this happens, I’m unable to browse the web. To resolve the issue, I have to remove the uBlock Origin extension and reinstall it. Once I’ve done that, browsing returns to normal. However, I then need to reconfigure my filters and adjust settings within FireFox

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to see if that would prevent this issue, but it hasn’t worked.

This problem is specific to my PC—it has never occurred on my MacBook.

Any assistance in understanding why this happens and how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi...I am trying to sign in to my thunderbird email...using my outlook.com email address. It is saying my password is incorrect...but I just updated my password...HELP....

thanks..david

I worked with an IT guy to help me transfer information from Carbonite back to Thunderbird. I can see all the files download to my computer but can't get them and the address book to update. Does anyone know someone who specializes in helping people with Thunderbird issues?

I have a valid x.509 certificate and am able to send S/MIME signed emails via Thunderbird 128.5.1esr (64-bit) [Windows 10.0.22631.4460).

The private key is stored on a Yubikey. However, the certifying authorities are in the Thunderbird Authorities.

I can send S/MIME signed emails.

Viewing the received email in Gmail (web) correctly shows that email is signed, verified by a known issuer, and provides links to the certificates.

Viewing the same received email in Thunderbird only shows the S/MIME badge/icon when the Yubikey is connected.

Is this intentional behavior? Why doesn't Thunderbird show the S/MIME badge?

I've got a new Samsung A55.

Firefox is refusing to sync my passwords. It used to work on my A51. I am signed in and have tried forcing a sync and even unchecking passwords, synching, then rechecking passwords and synching again.

It syncs my history ok but refuses to recover my passwords.

I have dozens (hundreds) of long, untypeable secure passwords... and I am locked out of almost every account. Also I can't get into most of my apps.

Searching the Web this seems a frequent issue with no obvious solutions :(

HELP! PLEASE!

I try to keep my Inbox fairly clean. I appreciate that the All Mail folder keeps emails even after they have been deleted from the Inbox. I keep the emails in the All Mail around for a while. I only delete them after a year.

Now, I'm having trouble removing emails more than a year old from the All Mail folder. I can mark the emails as junk. But when I try to remove them, they come back.

Does anyone know the proper procedure now?

I'm using: Thunderbird 115.16.0esr (64-bit) Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon 6.0.4 Intel© Core™ i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz × 4

Thanks in advance

I've installed Thunderbird on my Pixel 9 Pro. I used my Linux Fedora Thunderbird to generate a QR code to get my Android Thunderbird established. Android Thunderbird is working ok but my contacts from the Linux Thunderbird did not come over and writing emails from there is difficult without my contacts. How do I port over the Linux Fedora Thunderbird contacts to my Android Thunderbird?

The junk function does not work very well. It removes perhaps 50 per cent of junk email. Otherwise, I have to go through email every day and manually remove the junk. I've checked settings and there doesn't seem to be any other way to handle it.

Suddenly Firefox is downloading my downloads to google drive. Why? I want them in my download directory, but changing the options in Settings/General/Download makes no difference. It is set to ask where a file should go, but does not. It is set to ask whether to open or save a file and it does not!

How can I get google drive out of this and save them to my desktop again?

I recently switched from Linux to Windows and installed Firefox on my new system. I signed in with the same Firefox Account that I had used on Linux, but none of my bookmarks, shortcuts, or other data have synced. It feels like a fresh Firefox setup. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: 1. Confirmed that I signed in with the same Firefox Account. 2. Verified that Sync is enabled for bookmarks, history, and other items on Windows. 3. Triggered manual sync multiple times, but nothing has appeared. Is there any way to check if my bookmarks were stored on the Firefox servers, and if so, how can I retrieve them?
