I've hit the refresh button 1000s of times to get halfway through my emails I'm still a few months from current it downloads 1-3 emails most of the time when hitting refresh all. And most of the help I found for this stuff is very out of date.

Every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling settings on its own.

Specifically 2 settings on the general tab keep enabling themselves in the "browsing" section, "Recommend extensions as you browse" and "Recommend features as you browse"

I have disabled these settings dozens of times now, and every time Firefox updates it keeps re-enabling these 2 settings on its own.

Just now I updated to v128.0 and these 2 settings turned themselves on again.

Why is Firefox not respecting my settings? Why is Firefox allowed to modify my settings without my permission?

I have deleted and reinstalled Firefox already. I don't use profiles and am not signed into the browser, so no settings are getting carried over that way.

Thunderbird was configured to send & receive via Cox /yahoo mail. Worked until recently but can no longer send or receive.

Please advise. Best Regards, Leigh Wax

Search bar is pink and every time I open firefox the first time of the day it comes up pink. Very irritating and makes me wonder if firefox is worth keeping. Thanks

As stated, Thunderbird 128.0user Nebula only download around 448 messages from my shaw.ca mail server. The download starts with the earliest messages on the server, thus no current (latest) emails are downloaded to Nebula. I am short about 3.9k messages in this example. I am using pop3 as "I need the independency" on this computer. Earlier versions of Thunderbirds has no problems keeping up to date with all my accounts and their message volumes.

Thx.

I keep getting messages that the hotmail server is down or that I need to reenter my password. with ms going to a new authentication protocol why is there no information on this site on how we can continue to use tbird with hotmail.

I tried to do an import of a backup profile that was very large, greater than 3 GB. System says this file is too big to recover. Error console is as follows:

Hello, I am using TB Version 115.12.2 (32-bit). Overnight Xfinity is asking for a password to download my email from the imap mail server. ("Login to server imap.comcast.net with username *something*@comcast.net failed") .Comcast (Xfinity) tells me the problem is with TB. As I stated, this happened overnight. I made no changes whatsoever! Can you please offer some resolution? Thanks, John

Hi!

I couldn't find any decent TB or TB Forums Articels about this.

Instead best instructions seems to be here:

https://kb.uconn.edu/space/IKB/26063831538/Configure+Thunderbird+client+to+use+OAuth+for+IMAP%2F+POP

Especially at the end were it say's:

"Click “Done,” a Microsoft log in window should pop up"

That info is totally mssing in those TB Articels I've found.

And with the help from that page I managed to add one of my MS Account to TB (as IMAP), BUT not as a POP3 account that it has always been set as.

And if I try to add an MS Account as POP3 WITH OAuth2 in TB, this "Microsoft log in window should pop up" never shows at all! And then the account ain't working = TB can't poll for mail.

And I can't find out how to Convert/Change an existing IMAP/OAuth2 MS account to be a POP3/OAuth2 account ?! Is that at all possible?

(And why doesn't TB have a PopUp Windows (as in old Outlook Express and Win Live Mail) for when it polls for mail, so one can see what happens with every account, and then clearly read in that windows IF there were something wrong at any specific account. The TB "Activity Manager" doesn't show these thing, but it should!)

(Also TB should check for new mail in ALL Folders, as in SPAM (GMail), in JUNK (MS), and in TRASH, it could be a Setting for each account (or General) to make TB do that.)

/Thanx!

Suddenly, Thunderbird lost all emails. I think it happen after I used the "AddressBook". I deleted some duplicate entries from there.

Somebody suggested to check the Indox file c:\Users\trei\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\j5akdx98.default\Mail\pop.GMail.com\Inbox

There I have found indeed that "X-Mozilla-Status" was 0000 instead of 0001. I closed TB, did a batch replace, deleted the msf files and indeed the emails were back. However soon after that they disappeared again. Now the status is correct (0001) but the messages still won't appear.

Thunderbird used to have a panel on the left-hand side of the screen which listed folders such as bin, sent, etc etc. This has disappeared and I do not know how to access folders such as bin, sent, trash, important etc.

This is my crash ID: bp-ff99f648-78ab-4cad-b1f5-7aaa70240902 I've already tried troubleshoot mode, same result. I do have a userContent.css file, but deleting it makes no difference, and I can think of no other major change I've made to my installation.

I would prefer not to have to reinstall Firefox.

Videos on the NY Times web site never play on my Windows 10 PC, though they do run on my Windows 11 and iPad Firefox. Have disabled all script and ad-blockers without effect. If I click on the Play arrow, I get the circle animation that never ends. Windows FF version 128.0.2 64-bit on both 10 and 11; can't tell what the iPad version is but it works.

I have latest version of Thunderbird with a number of email accounts (Gmail, ionos, yola, etc.) including my personal Hotmail account that works fine. I just added an Office365 account from GoDaddy, and it automatically configured and installed. I then logged into the Microsoft 365 with my password and the configuration concluded successfully. I can receive emails but cannot send any. I get error messages shown in the attached images. I've also attached the settings for the account and the smtp settings. They appear to be identical to what is recommended. I need help.

I've tried restarting and reinstalling Thunderbird but no change in this blockage since Tuesday. I am running Windows 11 Pro and Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit). Downloading chunks of email from Comcast and trying to import them doesn't work. Please advise as I am stuck. I will check your answers on Comcast server as I can not read them directly.

Hello, PG&E just updated their webpage and it doesn't allow me to sign in. It informs me that Fire Fox isn't a compatible browser, all other websites are fine. It suggests Chrome as the preferred browser. We pay our utilities through their site and we enjoy Fire Fox.Can anyone help resolve this issue? Thanks

Why does Thunderbird create a "deleted messages" folder when there's already a perfectly good Trash folder? How can I get rid of it permanently. I've deleted it, but it reappears. I'd rather keep all my trash in one place.

On our web site we have a page that includes mp3 files, which play okay on Firefox; but on another page on the site with mp3 files, Firefox (including different versions on different computers) produces the error message, No video with supported format and MIME type found." FWIW, other browsers like Safari (Mac), Chrome (Mac and Win), and Edge (Win) all play the problematic files without a hitch.

Is there a fix for this problem that can be attempted by the non-tech types?
