Starting on 10/01/2024 Thunderbird no longer allows me to send or receive email.

When I try to read messages using Thunderbird, I get the following: Sending of password for user XX@msn.com did not succeed. Mail server outlook.office365.com responded: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

When I try to send messages using Thunderbird, I get the following: Enter your password for XX on smtp.office365.com:

I have tried redoing the password and it does not help.

This is on a WIN/10 system. I updated to the latest version of Thunderbird and it did not help.

I checked out Thunderbird on my WIN/XP and get the same results as with WIN/10.

When I use Firefox and login to https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/, I can send and receive email as before. The same is also true with my Mobile Phone.

Here's what I've done to try to resolve my issue: - Looked up this help article on support.mozilla.org - My precise problem matches "IMAP/POP3 work, but SMTP does not work" and it's for a personal account so I go visit this article on the hellish ever-changing landscape that is The Microsoft Knowledgebase - All of the server connection settings (address, port, TLS flavor) match - ... but Microsoft wants me to use either "Modern Auth / OAuth2" (other methods are being depreciated), neither of which seem to be available in Thunderbird. - This seems strange since the account itself is using Oauth for the IMAP connection. Why isn't it an option for SMTP? - I try to work around it by creating a new app password on my Microsoft account... - I still get an error telling me to enter a new password (with the checkbox to save in password manager)

thunderbird did a upgrade again... now my 4 email account works great. but now my IMAP account will not let me send emails. i can receive them great... what gives? why does this happen? how can I fix this?

Every time I log on to AXS.com to purchase hockey tickets I click the "get tickets" button and it says "this sale link is not valid".

It does this for any event I try to purchase tickets for.

I do not have this issue with safari.

missing Thunderbird profiles: Thunderbird works on my windows 11 box but, ]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles can't be found. I see others have the same issue, all recently uploaded as I am doing now, so something must have happened. None of the suggested fixes have helped. Has anyone come up with a strategy that works? Thanks for any help or direction.

Please am still interested to help me to get to the interview page am available waiting for the interview and am waiting for your update considering response thanks.

Why recently when I press enter while on an empty search bar it doesn't take me to the default search engine page that I have set for searching? e.g. I have google as mu default search engine and when I clicked on the empty search bar and pressed enter, google page would open. Can't tell exactly when this stopped working. Couple months ago.

Firefox (and thunderbird, as well) seems to be suspending network activity when doing a vt-switch or user-switching or locking the screen. The effect of this is that ongoing downloads freeze and are resumed (sometimes fail) only after unlocking the screen.

Chromium, wget, etc., on the other hand appear unaffected and the download progresses during screen lock / vt-switch.

I do not remember when exactly this problem started, but could have been since a couple of years.

This problem also occurs when running the latest firefox (downloaded tarball from mozilla site) and a blank profile. So it could be some interaction between firefox and the window manager / xsession.

My setup is a desktop computer connected via ethernet cable running XFCE on Debian.

How do I go about diagnosing / fixing the issue?

Thank you. Raj Kiran

Signed up for an account to sync browsers between machines. The email is received within a couple seconds, but the code is expired when I input it (with about 9 1/2 minutes to spare for the ten minute window).

Why can't I retrieve a website that I am directed to in a Thunderbird email? Usually the website is in "blue" and can be retrieved by a simple click, these are just in black.

Greetings. I have Windows 10 and Firefox for my browser. Has worked very well for many years but now I have a problem with Google search. Normally when I do search on Google and get the results I can click on a link and it will open in a new window(tab). 3 days ago I noticed that when I clicked on the link after search the site would open in the existing window. I checked my settings in Firefox and they appear to the untrained eye to be normal. I did go to the settings in Google and noticed that the "open results in a new window" was disabled. I enabled the option (no save function was available) and did a search again. This time it worked as I had hoped opening in a new window. This worked for a few hours and then once again noticed the problem. I went back to the Google settings and once again it was disabled. I enabled it and then worked fine. It continues to disable this function to open results in a new window after a few searches. Not sure if this problem is with Google or Firefox. I apologize for the length of this question but am trying to provide as much info as possible. I very much would appreciate any assistance regarding this .. Thank you

A couple of weeks ago my Firefox desktop suddenly stopped loading images correctly. This is especially true for image-heavy websites like Tumblr. Images will either not load or only partially load. It takes several refreshes to get even 75% of images to load properly (including Shift+Ctrl+R). My Internet connection and speed are normal. Weirdly, other browsers loaded images fine at first, but now they're laggy, too? They still work better in comparison, though. And the Internet on my iPhone and iPad are perfectly fine.

I've tried all of these multiple times: Restarting my PC, Internet, and router. Disabling certain extensions (especially those for Tumblr and ad blockers). Restarting in Troubleshoot Mode without extensions. Reducing number of tabs.

I tried the different Profile trick I found Googling this issue to death, and it works, but I want to fix my default profile's issues if I can. Oh, and YouTube is insufferable to watch and crashes the browser, but I suspect that might have to do more with what YouTube's trying to do with ad blockers. Especially since Chrome isn't much better on that count (aside from the crashing).

Edit: This issue started occurring around the time I downloaded the last Firefox update before the latest one. I thought installing the latest one might solve the problem, but it didn't. This might just be a coincidence.

Please how do I stop these floating windows above the tabs in Firefox 131.0? They mostly cover up the tabs and make it difficult to impossible to open or close tabs. The floating window only half shows up above he tab. This is just insane and makes using Firefox almost to much to deal with. Every time I get near a tab the floating window appears and tells me what the tab already tells me. Come on this is GARBAGE!

H E L P !!!! PLEASE....

My LN only has 8 letters, but my street address is long, and I have old addresses w 5+4 zip codes that differ by the last 4. The 'Saved address' popup only shows most of the address, and it's not resizable. (See image )

I have to open each address to see it. Suggestion_--- Make the box wider, auto adjust, or (best) restore the sizing bars.

Thanks!

As the subject says Firefox very suddenly started giving me terrible loading times, despite all the sites working perfectly fine on other devices and browsers. Issue continued with troubleshooting mode, not sure where to go from here. I will open youtube, it won't load about 5 thumbnails, I click on a video and it sets it to 140p and then it still lags the entire video as if I was using 1kbps internet. I tested my wifi connection and its having no problems. Something similar happened when I used to use Opera GX, it was fine for a long time and then one day terrible performance. Please let me know where to go from here. Windows 11 Pro.
