For some reason I now have multiple copies of empty sub-folders in the Deleted Folder of my Local Accounts. I have tried emptying the Deleted Folder and I have tried to manually delete the unwanted sub-folders within the Deleted Folder. I have also noted that one of the unwanted sub-folders has appeared elsewhere in a completely unrelated sub-folder.

How do I deal with this?

Every time I try to get on Discourd I get a message that says An error occurred during a connection to discord.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/pl/questions/1416241

Recently several apps that I have used for a long time are, for the first time, requiring 2 factor authentication, including Facebook. Additionally, apps which I had accessed with user name & password, now saved and unchanged, but that I do not "own" are also requiring two factor authentication - in particular, Google Drive. Has something changed?

A few weeks ago after an automatic update I ended up having Thunderbird version 131.0.1 installed, I have no idea how this happened. On opening I get a message telling me I shouldn't be using a beta version and that I should revert to the latest general release version (128.4)

Today when I had some free time I downloaded 128.4 and installed it. On opening it it says that I can't use a profile file from a later version with the earlier version. Is there a way to recover from this WITHOUT having to set up the whole profile again from scratch.

Meanwhile I have done a system restore so I am back with 131.0.1 It has not given me any problems so far. Is there a new general release version imminent that will get me back on track?

I would appreciate any help I am not a computer expert, just a user, and find Thunderbird a very good email client.

cna you tell me why Down load helper no longer seems to work. when I first open a pge the download icon appears in full colour and then fades to grey and won't recognise you tube videos is this something you can fix

Bonjour, I have used TB fore more than 20 years without major problems but today I am stuck. The TB version I run on is: 128.6.0esr (64 bits) on Windows 10 I use three accounts with Orange, one has the problem, not the two others. Originally the settings were the same on all three/

pop.orange.fr Port 110, default 110 SMTP France Telecom / Orange Port 587, default 587

Having sought help from the French (my mother tong) TB forum, one suggested to replace those settings for: pop.orange.fr Port 995, default 110 SMTP France Telecom / Orange Port 465, default 587 As a result I no longer received the ERROR message asking me for a password, instead a small blue segment showed on the bottom right of my screen and, after a while...nothing: no mail IN no mail OUT. I tried these new settings on the two other accounts with just the same result: no mail IN no mail OUT. So I went back to the original ones.

Has anyone a clue?

Hello,

I received a new laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 and I'm trying to install Thunderbird. I have tried snap, flatpack, the downloaded package and nothing works. The only one that worked so far is https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/08/install-thunderbird-deb-not-snap-in-ubuntu-24-04 but this results in a different (?) thunderbird being installed, thunderbird-esr and there is no icon in the dock and I cannot pin it in the dock, which is a bit annoying. I saw there are other people having the same issue as me https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/cannot-install-thunderbird-because-it-is-not-allowed-by-dot-thunderbird-plug-rule/28878/13 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1538919/ubuntu-24-02-error-installing-thunderbird

The command `$sudo snap install thunderbird` gives the following error `error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Mount snap "thunderbird" (609) (installation not allowed by "dot-thunderbird" plug rule of interface "personal-files" for "thunderbird" snap)`

I also tried various commands offered in response to the questions linked above `$snap connections thunderbird` returns `error: snap "thunderbird" not found`

`$snap interfaces | grep personal` returns `119::personal-files firefox:dot-mozilla-firefox 'snap interfaces' is deprecated; use 'snap connections'.`

`$snap version` returns `snap 2.67 snapd 2.67 series 16 ubuntu 24.04 kernel 6.8.0-51-generic`

`$snap list --all thunderbird` returns `error: no matching snaps installed`

I also tried via the Ubuntu "App Center" and the Install button just keeps coming back. I expect it's running into the same error I have via the terminal and doesn't give any feedback in the graphic interface.

Please let me know what I must do to install Thunderbird via snap.

Thank you, Caroline

My freenet account cannot send emails with Thunderbird. What is set up wrong? I set it up according to the template provided by freenet customer service. screenshots are attached. I have blacked out my name and email address.
