I have not changed my email accounts or my Google & Microsoft usernames or passwords. A few days ago when I started Thunderbird, two Google pop-ups arrive reading "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account" demanding that I deny or allow it. Why might this be happening and how do I stop it? This does not occur with other email apps such as Outlook for Windows.

MS changed authorization method and now it require protocol OAuth2. I've changed my account for two layers authorization and tried change Thunderbird configuration due https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/form but it not works. I can't connect. I've no problems to connect with Outlook and standard mail app for Win2010 or using BlueMail on android. Ive Thunderbird v. 115.11.0 (32)

Can You help me? I'd prefere to stay with Thunderbird.

Hi,

 I am having a random problem with Thunderbird asking me for the login credentials to the email account when these should be stored. Possibly this problem is caused by the antivirus, outages or saturation of the internet connection or the mail provider itself giving a login failure and consequently, requesting the login credentials.

 The only check I can do is to check in Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Password and I see that only the outgoing mail credentials are there but not the incoming mail credentials when they should be stored.

Would there be any possibility or option to never ask for the credentials and can only be changed from the password window?

Thank you. Regards

Recently many sites have (for reasons I cannot fathom) introduced a pre-login form: ie a form that requires a username to be entered before an password text box is provided. This seems to be a trend and it is incredibly annoying.

The issue I have is that FF does not recognise the page/form as a login page and therefore does not provide a list of usernames for the domain in question.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I had the idea to try Opera browser as I saw various videos about it. Firefox does slow me down at times even though it's what I have used for years.

Soon after, I defaulted back to using Firefox but the settings must have gotten changed. Everytime I wish to log in to any site, I have to type in my email again. The passwords usually are the old ones that show up.

With Amazon for instance. I must sign in and verify with codes sent to my mobile few times a day. I have searched for help online and gone through the cookies and history and privacy settings, turn this on or that off, don't do this and don't do that. Despite all that, the sites don't remember my email logins. If I go from voucher code to another site, it doesn't remember my credentials, so I don't get the deal or voucher. Amazon on my mobile works perfect but on my laptop, it's just a nightmare to have to sign in and verify each time. Outlook refuses to recognize my password most times and so it goes on.

If I cannot fix this asap, I will then have to remove Firefox as a browser altogether and find anything else that works! Please advise. Last time I reached out to Firefox, I never heard back! Fingers Crossed x

I keep getting a box that says: "Login to account failed"

Then a blue question mark and "Login to server inbound.att.net. with username failed

Then three tabs: Retry - Enter New Password - Cancel

I put in the correct password each time, and the box just keeps coming back up.

I had to change my Google password. Immediately after the change on sept 14th, I was and am still unable to send or receive mails, receiving the message : "Authentication failed when connecting to imap.gmail.com server". Giving my permission/consent to allow Mozilla accessing my Google account is useless, because it is repetetively asking me to give my password in " imap.gmail.com" . I don't know how to do that : in the settings, there is no place to write my password. Do you have a solution ? Many thanks

Please put Thunderbird back the way it was. I have several different email accounts in Thunderbird, I'm obviously logged into Google on one of those accounts, but for a while now TB constantly asks me to "Login to Google" - when I already am. i.e. It's asking me again and again, to login to one of the OTHER email/google accounts - and I don't want to, because I bet the moment I do, TB will popup the window again, wanting me to login to previous one. And so round and round we go.

Also the popup is poorly designed, because not all of it fits on the screen. i.e. It's oversized, so you can't see the top or bottom "bar" and there's no way I can see to adjust it. I detest this pointless popup, constantly appearing, having to first click on the white space, and then hit the ESC key to get rid of it (until next time). Why would you do this? We've always been able to have multiple email/gmail accounts, all with different login details, and all the email accounts still seem to be receiving email okay... so why add this annoying popup? Please remove it.

I have been trying to get my Comcast email configured for days with no luck. When I try to log in using my Comcast password I get a screen that shows "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. Reference #18.321c2e17.1727662977.283cff2b https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.321c2e17.1727662977.283cff2b. I have allowed access to third party apps on my Comcast account and I am able to access my email on the Comcast website with no problem. I saw something about disabling IPV6 but it said to go to Preferences or Options in the Settings menu. My version of Thunderbird (latest) doesn't have these menu options. I have tried various IMAP and SMTP Port settings I found on the internet and nothing works.

What are the settings for Comcast email in Thunderbird?

I have a password. It works fine on Wave webmail. It fails on Thunderbird. It is not a typo, I am pasting it from my password storage.

How do I set a password in Thunderbird that works?

I have read this post [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1484529] and I am having the same problem. It appears the OP has now gone away as there are no more updates. It appears they have either given up or found a solution and not posted it.

Question: On every start of Thunderbird, I get the popup from Google requesting access for TB to my gmail account that I am using here. I answer yes to allow TB and then this is followed up by an email from Google to my gmail acount and my backup email. Is this correct the correct operation? I personally don't think so as I thought everything should be transparent after setting things up. I don't seem have this probem with my other two gmail accounts either. I have tried repeatedly to find out how to fix this but I have not been successful. I have found numerous articles about this in various forums but they have either been extremely vague or not posted the solution. I am almost sure something changed a while ago but I don't know what it was.

I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to fix this.

I did a clean Windows reinstall on my computer and I forgot Mozilla account password, so I asked a password reset. It went fine, but my bookmarks and password were not syncing. I thought sync server is slow or similar, but nothing happened after 2-3 hours.

I searched on Google and found that a password reset deletes everything.

Developers! Are you f*cking serious if you don't warn the users when they are doing password reset if that will delete everything?????? I f*cking can't believe that!

I lost hundreds of passwords and bookmarks. That is f*cking insane!

In Firefox, and Firefox only, in every version for the last several months, I have found it impossible to get Firefox to allow websites to "remember this device", even when I check that option. Every day I log in to a website, for example Tmobile, and I have to get a code emailed to me. I check "remember this device so you won't need a code next time", but the next time I log in, the same thing happens. Over and over with many sites. This does not happen with any other browser, except Firefox. How do I get Firefox to allow me to save my info? I really don't want to use Chrome, Safari, Brave, or Edge, but I do not have this problem with any of them. Only Firefox. And yes, I've checked my settings, and everything I can see says Firefox should be saving this info.

hello, My gmail account disconnected and I cannot log back in. A window opens when I try to load my mesages, but an error occurs everytime. Do you know where it comes from ? Screenshots down below thanks !

‘Trying to install T-bird in new computer and I forgot the password. And no, the password for Thunderbird is not in the saved passwords in settings’ for ‘Thunderbird’ (Mozilla).

Thanks RM

Title is quite descriptive. A few hours ago I cleared all my cookies and cache and a while later the browser updated. Now, whenever I close Firefox it automatically logs me out of my Google accounts. This happens only with Google accounts, as I'm still logged into other accounts.
