I have Thunderbird (60.09.1 64 bit) installed on my MacBook running Mac OSMojave. Recently the TB icon in the menu bar disappeared and is replaced by the generic Mac icon. How do I get the icon back? Should I re-install TB? I cannot be certain but think that the issue occurred during a recent update. Thank you for any help.

I installed Thunderbird specifically to import/read MBOX files downloded from Gmail. I installed the add-on (ImportExport Tools NG). When I navigate to Tools / ImportExport Tools NG / Import mbox file, nothing happens. According to other websites, Thunderbird should open another dialog box at that point with several options, but I get nothin'. Any suggestions?

Having some trouble with Firefox and I'm at my wits end on how to fix it. Clicking the Firefox icon in Windows 10 (whether that's in the Start menu, the taskbar or the app itself in Program Files) won't launch Firefox. The blue loading spinner appears briefly next to the pointer, then disappears. Sometimes a Firefox process appears in Task Manager then instantly disappears, but sometimes it doesn't. Here's what I've tried so far:
- Restarting - Reinstalling - Deleting my Firefox profile and all Firefox app files - Launching in safe mode by holding shift - Launching in safe mode by adding the "-safe-mode" comment - Running as administrator - Checking it's not being blocked by antivirus - Loading the Firefox profile manager by typing "firefox.exe -P" in the run dialog box. This does the same as trying to load Firefox - nothing happens
I can't think what else to do. It may be a coincidence, but my primary monitor died, I restarted the PC and then Firefox wouldn't work. I can't see how it could be related, but who knows.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello!
For the last few days my Firefox browser is unable to start. I have tried reinstalling it, turning off antivirus/firewall and cleaning up the registry but it is still the same results every time.
When looking into the event viewer this is what it says:
Faulting application name: firefox.exe, version: 71.0.0.7275, time stamp: 0x5de4f320 Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00007ff9134c012a Faulting process id: 0x2c10 Faulting application start time: 0x01d5ab45c9a82230 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Faulting module path: unknown Report Id: faf0ebdb-aa0c-4fd3-890c-f15dd9482c76 Faulting package full name:
When started it briefly shows up in the task manager but quickly vanishes and I am unable to start it in any way, even in safe mode.
Appreciate any help concerning this matter! /Jenny
Unable to connect to IMAP server error message

I am running Thunderbird 68.2.2. When ever I start up Thunderbird I get this message: Unable to connect to IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server. If so, use the Advanced IMAP Server Settings dialog to reduce the number of cached connections.
I've tried various fixes including changing the maximum amount of server connections to cache and testing my antivirus email scanner by disabling it. Nothing has solved my problem.
Note that after Thunderbird loads in and above error message shows, I can then access my email by clicking on it's inbox folder.
Could this possibly be a bug with Thunderbird?
Thanks.

One of my POP accounts has a strange problem with its local Trash folder. Recent messages, going back about 2 weeks look normal. Before that, messages up to about 6 weeks old are all duplicated. Before, that, some are duplicated and some have 4 copies. If I scroll down to about 2 months ago, some of the messages have 8 copies, and so on, until I have 16 copies of all of my oldest messages.
So it appears that Thunderbird is periodically duplicating everything in the Trash folder. Is this a retention policy gone wrong? Any patches available to prevent this?

I'm redesigning an existing website. I have some Javascript which runs behind the search facility to make AJAX calls which populate an autocomplete. This works on every modern browser I've tested it in, but for some reason I can't make it work in Firefox Preview on my Android device. It *does* work with the original Firefox on that device.
Is there any way to get a Javascript console with this as I would with my desktop Firefox? Or is there a version I can run on my desktop which works (or more importantly, doesn't) on my Linux desktop?

Any time I open Firefox and then immediately try to navigate to any webpage, nothing happens for a few seconds. I'd guess 6+ seconds? The loading icon on the tab will move, but there is no network activity indicated at the bottom of the window nor in the Network Monitor (ctrl+shift+e) until after a few seconds. Once this delay period has passed, all pages load as normal. It does this every time, without fail, even in safe mode. I am using the 64-bit version but also had a 32-bit version still installed, so I decided to launch that version instead, since it still uses my profile and so everything should otherwise be the same. This version did not have the delay. I was able to load a webpage immediately. I have deleted this 32-bit version, thinking it may be interfering somehow (perhaps because using the same profile? idk), but it changed nothing. I can't imagine how the 64-bit version would perform worse than the 32-bit, so I don't just assume switch over. I'd like to continue with the 64-bit version, as I have sufficient RAM to make use of it. I've tried a good handful of solutions, but nothing. Any ideas? I've included troubleshooting info, in case that's useful at all.

I am running Thunderbird 60.7.2 on Mac High Sierra 10.13.6. Whenever I start Thunderbird I am prompted for "Authentication Required", user name and password. When I enter the correct user name and password my calendar entries show up. However, even after checking "Use Password Manager to remember this password", the password is not remembered and I have to enter it again the next time I start Thunderbird. I've verified that Config:signon.rememberSignons is True. Per a different thread I deleted <profileDir>/key4.db. The other file recommended to delete was logins.json but I do not have that file. After just now entering the password again, I checked Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords and the file is empty.
As an experiment, I copies the logins.json file from another Mac computer, set ownership properly and tried again. Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords still shows as empty and the contents of logins.json remains unchanged.
I am runinng Thunderbird on 2 other Mac computers, 3 Linux computers and 6 Windows 7 computer and none of the others have this problem.
How do I fix this?

I am running a recently refreshed version of Firefox 71.0 (64 bit). My Firefox is closing completely whenever I try to browse to locate a file. This happens on multiple sites, but as an example, I went to https://send.firefox.com/ and tried to browse out for a file. The file explorer window opens, but then Firefox freezes and shuts down. There are no crash reports generated when this happens. This also happens when I run Firefox in safe mode. This has been happening for a few days and was also happening in Firefox 70.0.1.
I tried the same process using Microsoft Edge, and I am able to browse out for the file without issue.

I don't normally save and restore sessions, but do have firefox set to restore the previous session in the event of a crash.
Recently, following a power cut, such a session restore occurred, correctly restoring all the pages I had open at the time (not many), and the scroll position within the page.
Since this happened, any page I open on one particular site (https://www.theguardian.com) now always scrolls to the end of the page, and I have to manually scroll back up to the top. Once loaded, you can scroll the page normally, but F5 refresh will reload the page and scroll to the end again. This effect is persistent across restarts, and I've not found a way to get rid of it.
I've tried simulating another crash with that site open, scrolled to the top, and I've tried enabling saving the session on exit and restoring on startup - none of this has changed anything. In both cases it restored the session and scrolled to the end.
Any suggestions as to where this effect might be coming from?

I want to find out if this is possible, someone was working on another email when Thunderbird crashed and had absolutely no idea that a completely different email had actually been sent. It shouldn't have been sent, and I want to ensure that this doesn't happen to me, so would this really have happened based on receiving a Mozilla crash reporter - we're sorry - thunderbird had a problem and crashed. As if it were to accidentally send emails - I would need to choose another provider as it looks kinda unprofessional, if a draft email accidentally got sent. I look forward to hearing from anyone....
