Hi all,

My Thunderbird got updated automatically to version 115.4.61. But after the update, it is not working correctly. I used to have an inbox folder, under which I had all inbox folders from all my accounts. And this was done automatically, by thunderbird, I didn't created it.

But after the update, this inbox folder is empty. The only way to see mails is to go to the inbox folder within each account.

How to restore the normal behaviour?

In Thunderbird 1153.1 (MacOS), it appears that the "Delete" button next to the header information on a message whose content display is blocked per privacy settings is applied not to that individual message but rather to the folder containing it. There's (fortunately!!) a confirmation dialog warning that that entire folder would be deleted unrecoverably, but it seems non-intuitive and dangerous that the button's scope should change depending on the content display status. When the content is displayable, the button applies only to the individual message, as I'd expect.

Background:

I regularly work with old modem/router at my work sites. I usually use Firefox on PC to access the management page. Sometimes, I like to check by the sites with only my phones, to mess with the configs in the modem.

I cannot access the local IP address (https://192.168.10.1/) because of the TLS requirement is too high (SSL/TLS 1.3). I need to lower the TLS version inabout:config to 1.1. I couldn't access the about:config on Firefox Android.

I have tapped 5 times on the Firefox logo to enable to Debug page, but changing TLS requirement is NOT there.

Question: Where is the setting for security.tls.version.min in Firefox Android 120.0?

Thunderbird 115.5.0 64-bit

I suspect this is an options question but I can't find where to go with it.

I've always just opened an email attachment with the right click choice. But now when I do that it opens a window to have me save it first. Quite often I don't want to save it, that just clutters things up.

I've googled for it, and lots of answers tell me some variant of open the "app icon" (the hamburger) and go to Options. In mine there is no Options that I can find.

I hope that's clear enough, and thanks

After upgade Thunderbird to 115.0.1 version, all my outlook.com email accounts encounter an error:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to account.live.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What is the problem? Doesn't TB support outlook.com accounts anymore?

thanks.

In de Write/Compose window there is on the toolbar a control for setting the colors of background and text. If I use them a color pickers appears, the control itself changes color, but in the message everything stays black on white. In the HTML version of the message I see the specified colors: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset="> <font color="#ff8040">This is a test message.</font>
Also after sending the message the colors do not show in Thunderbird or other email clients. I use version 102.11.0 (64 bit) under Windows 10.

Thanks for helping me with this problem!

All 4 of my Thunderbird email accounts have suddenly ceased to retrieve emails resulting in an error message stating that either my username or password are incorrect. However, I am able to logon and see all of my emails when I open a browser to outlook.office365.com so I know all my usernames and passwords are correct. I have not changed any of my account settings in Thunderbird. Any ideas how I can fix this?

The other day, one of my hard disks went on the blink and became very slow to access (minutes, not seconds). At the time, many of my email accounts were storing the mail on that disk. I've copied all the files off to a working disk and dumped the old disk. I changed Thunderbird to point to the new location. Now, all of the accounts are working again, except one (using POP). Thunderbird simply won't check email on that account, and the last email shown is 4 days ago. When I click Get Messages and select the account, nothing seems to happen. Nothing shows up in the Activity Manager. The account is definitely working on the server-side, as I can view it in K-9 on my phone, and another account on the same POP server is working fine in Thunderbird. Outgoing email on the account sends fine.

I've tried various suggestions, including wiping my password database (Thunderbird did not prompt me for that account) but nothing seems to make a difference. I wonder if it's to do with the Inbox (which is a hefty 7GB mbox file). I tried Repair Folder on the Inbox but it did not make a difference; Thunderbird still won't check the email. I did briefly try renaming the Inbox file to Old-Inbox but Thunderbird still wouldn't check the email. I want to make sure I retain all my old emails (they are all showing, so it doesn't look like the file got corrupted). Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get the email working again without losing all the mailboxes?

Sorry if this has already been addressed, the nature of the issue makes it very hard to search.

Firefox web access on my phone has been not working whatsoever for a few days now. The app opens, but no webpages load, including pages that were previously open in other tabs before the issue started. Instead of anything, there is just an empty grey screen with the bar at the top like usual. This also happens if I open any web URL in another app, like Discord or Gmail, and it tries to use my default browser (which is Firefox) to access it. Just straight greyness, no loading bar or anything. The issue isn't present in the default Samsung web browser, but honestly, I can't stand using anything other than Firefox, so even looking up help has had to wait until I could use my computer.

I've tried restarting my phone to no avail. I would like to try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but as far as I can tell there is no raw "copy a folder" way to back up my data for whatever reason, and when I tried backing up my data by creating a Firefox account for the first time and using sync... well, to do that, it tries to open a series of webpages. Which it can't do. So that was a dead end. And I would really like to avoid losing my tabs, bookmarks, and history if at all possible.

If I don't get an answer that works for me, I think I am going to enable developer access in my phone files and hook it up to my computer to try and force-backup my data, then uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that helps. Honestly, though, I'm really curious why this has happened and how I can prevent it in the future. Having my web browser suddenly just cease to function has been INCREDIBLY annoying.

Thank you for your time!

Firefox is downloading files directly to my Downloads folder instead of asking despite having turned on every setting that says it should ask first. Under about:preferences I have turned on "Always ask you where to save files" under Downloads, and I have set Applications to "Ask whether to open or save files". I have even gone in to about:config and turned off "browser.download.useDownloadDir", but the files are still going directly to my default folder.

When I go to my church website, www.universalist.org, it automatically redirects to www.webhostking.net. How do I stop this? Both Chrome and Microsoft Edge block this redirect.

• I have attached a screenshot showing a comparison between Mac Finder UI and Thunderbird UI.
• Thunderbird UI is much harder to read due to the size.
• Is there a fix for this? In the previous version, I was able to make things larger by modifying settings in a page that started with `about:`.

Intermittently (maybe 1/20 times?), when I try to do a Google search from the URL bar I'll get a tab that doesn't load for about 30 seconds. If I search for the exact same thing in another tab it will load instantly, and if I select the url and press enter it will also load instantly. I am seeing this issue both when entering a search and when selecting text and clicking "Search Google for X".

I found a recommendation on a similar issue to set security.tls.enable_0rtt_data = false in about:config but I have seen no change with that setting.

Hello! For some reason I can't add separate icons for extension quick menus to the address bar area and am only able to add the extensions "master" button which shows a list of extensions without going to the settings page. I've tried to go to customize toolbar to add the extension icons to the bar but none of them show up, and I know for a fact that the extensions have icons, I've added them to the bar on other computers.

So for the last little while, Facebook has been making a complete nuisance of itself on firefox. This isn't a browser problem, because the other tabs I have open work perfectly fine, but FB takes forever to load, and any button I press to interact with it, (like the reload button,) also lags, (but, again, works fine on other tabs,). It doesn't even register links as being clickable for a good minute after loading. The page also seems to reset every time I switch from another tab to it, showing a blank page with a loading symbol. I have tried deleting the entire history, and restarting the browser, and deactivating the adblocker, (the only extension active) and nothing seems to help. Does anybody know why it's doing this, (other than because the company follows the 'if it isn't broke, break it' theory, which we all already knew,) and how to fix it?

TB version 102.12.0 Windows 10 V:22H2. Incoming mail is opening in edit mode (not read mode) and displays my address in the From line.

Please advise - and thank you for your support of Mozzila Thunderbird.

I have no usable Menu options at the top of the Thunderbird email screen. I hit a wrong key yesterday and things such as Write, Reply, Print, Send, Delete, Junk, etc. have disappeared. I read some possible things to help but I do not have III on the upper right of my screen and pressing Alt when opening Thunderbird also does not work. HELP!

A white screen occurs when browsing the web. If you turn off "Use recommended performance settings" and "Use hardware acceleration when available" the problem is fixed, but then the browser slows down. Can this be fixed in another way?
