This is how Thunderbird presented itself this morning. (cf screenshot) I can't see any of my mails, no contacts available, no address books, ... I cannot write a message. But under "Get message" I see my accounts. I tried by deleting the *.msf files, but these were not rebuild. I tried reinstalling - no changes so far.
So actually I'm lost. Does anyone know how to bring Thunderbird back to life?

Thunderbird performed an automatic update to 68.1 from 60.9 today. Upon restart of the program, TB came up in 68.1 with empty fields. No mailboxes. Won't start Options. Can't start Troubleshooter. Everything from 60.9 is gone, and I can't figure out how to bring it all back in 68. I can uninstall 68 and reinstall 60, and everything goes back to normal, but then the automatic update cycle starts again. Please help!

On some sites, clicking on a PDF results in it being opened in Google Drive where it looks like gibberish. Firefox is ignoring the preference to open PDFs in Mac Preview. Opening in the Firefox PDF viewer also did not work.
The problem goes away if I disable "Google PDF Viewer" add-in.

Here's what I did: - Copied the <Thunderbird/Profiles> folder - Uninstalled Thunderbird 60 - Installed Thunderbird 68 - Copied <Profiles> folder into new copy of Thunderbird - There was no Address Book, completely blank.
How do I get my Address Book back?
I have an Aug copy of <Profiles> that might have the Address Book in it but it will not have all E-mails. What files, exactly, would I need to copy from the Aug Profile to the new copy of Thunderbird to get my Address Book back (if that is possible)?
Any and all help is appreciated. I REALLY do not want to reconstruct my Address Book, it have 700+ addresses...

Any chance to adjust the font size EVERYWHERE in this ridiciously shrinked layout of Thunderbird 68.1.0? Theme Font & Size Changer is to no avail anymore.
Sorry, but what the heck happened? You removed css, so layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is gone, too.

I have followed all the steps in the Mozilla support pages for printers, including editing prefs.js in my profile. Still, for example, the FF support page, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox , is cut off in the middle of the word "Library" in the first pic under Check Firefox page settings, and the rest of the multi-page site does not print out at all. I also had print omissions of parts of web pages earlier today with a financial site, and that had nothing to do with pictures. Someone, I think on FF Support, once told me that FF was never intended as a full service browser, and so printing is a weak spot, apparently around page transitions in printing. True? If true, will that ever likely change? I would like to use only FF for security reasons, but I often have to use other browsers for printing, and it would be great if I could just stay on FF.

BACKGROUND:
(a) This relates to my Windows 10 Pro Desktop PC.
(b) AOL say they cannot help with this and said I must contact Thunderbird.
(c) I have three AOL email accounts - I've had them for 20 years. I shall refer to them as AOL1, AOL2 and AOL3.
(d) Ever since I moved to Thunderbird a few years ago, all my AOL accounts have worked perfectly on Thunderbird, until yesterday.
(e) AOL1 still works perfectly.
(f) AOL3 still works perfectly.
(g) AOL2 has worked perfectly until yesterday and it is this AOL2 which is the subject of the problem I shall explain further below.
(h) Yesterday I chose to delete and reinstall AOL2 as there was a [minor] problem with it. I cannot remember exactly what the [minor] problem was, but nevertheless the MAJOR problem detailed below started after I reinstalled AOL2 onto Thunderbird.
NOW TO THE PROBLEM:
When I reinstalled AOL2 to Thunderbird it seemed to set up OK and showed the correct AOL2 email address, but then the inbox, outbox etc all populate with a complete duplicate of emails from AOL1, and NONE of those destined for AOL2.
Now a really crazy thing: if I send an email to someone from the newly reinstalled AOL2, they receive it as if it came from AOL2, just as it should be, but if they reply, or even if they simply write to AOL2, the message does not arrive in Thunderbird on my W10 Desktop PC.
Now to be really, really crazy: AOL2 account works PERFECTLY on my iPhone and iPad and, unbelievebaly, it also works PERFECTLY on both of my W10 Pro Laptops.
Thus, the problem is only on my W10 Pro Desktop.
I have cleared cache in Thunderbird, cleared cache in Firefox, cleared cache in IE11, cleared cache in Microsoft Edge, cleared cache in Google Chrome, run CC Cleaner to yet again clear all caches, completely switched off my Desktop PC, switched it back on and re-entered the AOL2 acocunt, and still it populated with emails from the AOL1 account.
I then deleted the AOL1 account and associated data, then did all the above cache clearing again, then switched the PC off and back on and entered only the AOL2 account, and still it populated with only the emails from the AOL1 account.
AOL1 and AOL3 still work perfectly on all platforms. It is just AOL2 that populates with AOL1 emails on the W10 Desktop.
AOL2 on the W10 Desktop does not receive ANY emails destined for AOL2.
All remains well on the iOS devices and 2x W10 Laptops.
Does anyone have a fix for this Thunderbird probelm on my W10 Desktop?
Thanks.
Thunderbird not retrieving new email automatically at startup

I'm running Thunderbird 60.6.1, configured for 4 accounts on the following services: - msn.com - hotmail.com - comcast.net - gmail.com Servers for all accounts are configured as IMAP.
Thunderbird is not retrieving new email automatically at startup, even though "Check for new messages at startup" is ticked for all accounts. I do see - "Looking for folder...", "Opening folder..." etc. for all accounts on the status bar, but nothing is downloaded. When I then click "Get All New Messages", email for all accounts is immediately retrieved.
The "Activity Manager" log is completely blank.
I tried disabling all add-ons and restarting, same problem. For the sake of completeness, those are:
- CardBook by Philippe V: Alternative to built-in address book, which supports the vCard standard. Thunderbird does not, and I need the ability to import contact lists in that format.
- Check and Send by H.Ogi: I'm only using the feature of this add-on that confirms that I'm indeed ready to send when composing new email.
Here's one weird thing: When I start Thunderbird in safe mode, all new messages are immediately retrieved, whether I disable all add-ons are or not.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Why can't Firefox v69.0.1 64 bit for Windows select text in Google search results

FF just updated to v69.0.1 64 bit on my Windows 7 PC, and now I can't select text in Google search results. The cursor changes to a hand and pointing finger when moved over the text in Google results. It then behaves as if it's trying to select an area of an image where the entire image moves, and the cursor changes to a black circle with a slash through it. I usually drag and drop images to a local folder like that. I CAN select text from the very beginning or very end of the individual Google results. But I've never had any problems selecting text in Google results like this.
Funny as the 32 bit copy of Firefox v69.0.1 on my Windows 10 notebook doesn't have this problem. And the problem seems to be specific to Google. I haven't noticed any problems selecting text on other web pages.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to resolve it?

I don't want two accounts under the same profile, because I find it too confusing. When I set up the default account and looked for the add profile, what I found instead was add account and I thought that would create a new profile, but it didn't. I would like to move that whole account to a separate profile and wondered if there is a way to do this? Thanks!

Hello i got a response from someone else who didn't help. SoundCloud doesn't load from Firefox. It goes to the play store and then i can't find my link. On Chrome it goes right to SoundCloud. So it isn't a SoundCloud issue it's a problem on firefox side. I want to keep using Firefox but this is a hindrance. Been happening for years on different phones thought I'd finally ask what the issue was.

Here's something that should happen, NO MATTER WHAT. So I go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/. This shows me as not logged in to the support site even though I have an acount here. So at the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ I go to the button for "Get a Firefox Account". Go to the section for sign in. I sign in and now I'm told to check my gmail account for confirmation of log in. So I click on the confirmation of sign in on the email...now I'm asked for my cell phone...and you CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER without ADDING MY CELL PHONE? Yea, even if I did have a cell phone (sorry, not a mindless drone like the rest of you, I don't need or want a cell phone, but that's a whole different topic), I would NEVER have it attached to an email account and have some one hack my account and get that too. I already have a discussion going about this with AOL owning Netscape accounts and needles account "verifications" for a cell phone when I log in. Again, another discussion. So anyhow, I see this "Syncing..." message appear on my PC's web page. But wait, I don't have a device to "sync" to - right? So I go to the "Options" area and "Disconnect". My theme resets to FF default and, you know all those icons for websites that are attached to your book marks as long as you have been there and the site provides a little pic? All dumped. All my "top sites" on a new tab...gone, banking cookies...gone, and Gmail doesn't remember who I am.
What happened here should NEVER HAPPEN. All this data should be tied to my PC, not some odd account - EVER! This is a web browser on a PC, NOT AN "APP" on a phone. Hell, if I was on a phone, I'd be whipping it against a wall on it right now, because even though I and logged back into my FF/Mozilla and Gmail account, NONE of this data that disappeared returned. How I got logged back in w/o a cell phone? Apparently closing the browser and logging back in is ok, no cell needed suddenly. I also noticed "sync" is connected again.

I was using FF 68.0.2 and all versions before it for years and I never had a problem. After I installed version 69 I began to have these black screens! Im using 69.0.1 now and it seems a bit better, with 69 I was having more crashes. Im using h264ify addon because youtube was too unstable in 69 version and using h264 codec seems more stable. I am not completely sure this is a Firefox problem or a Windows 10 problem because microsoft has release buggy patches recently. I uninstalled last microsoft patch just in case but I still have this creashes.
Sometimes Firefox return to normal if I minimize the windows and restore it but sometimes it crashes completely.
