hello, every time i start thunderbird, i'm presented with a tab that shows me the privacy policy. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. i don't need to read it every time; reading it once and confirming is enough. but there doesn't seem to be any way to confirm, or disable this annoyance. how can i get it to stop? is there a setting somewhere, or registry entry i can change?

Thunderbird Desktop Version 115.18.0esr

Login to the server pop.gmx.net with username "..." failed.

I have several accounts with GMX. Two work, and the other two display the above error message. Everything works when I log in via a browser, but not in Thunderbird. The account settings are identical for all four accounts except for the password and username.

What can I do?

Thank you in advance.

I used to be able to see a running account of the number of messages left to move or to delete.

If this is still available, how do I turn it on?

Thanks.

When I attempt to log into my ssa.gov account thru either login.gov or id.me with firefox browser i get the following message. "Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit." I can access both with google or edge. I am running windows 11 with most recent firefox update What do I need to change in my firefox settings?

Hey I changed my password before reinstalling the Windows but when I reinstall Firefox and logged in, all of my information was gone since Firefox doesn't back up after password change so I uninstalled Firefox since then because it was useless to me. I was looking through my files and I find that I still have the previous recovery code before changing password, can it be used to recover my passwords and bookmarks?!

Since update to version 145.0 I cannot send messages, when sending I get this message "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <*******@shaw.ca> sender rejected AUP#POL. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again". Nothing has changed with account settings. Same problem on another machine that updated to 145.0. Any ideas what is broken?

I was googling something related to my game and i clicked on a Reddit search result, which i made sure is the official Reddit website not some shady one, then an empty .htm file from moz-safe-about resource got downloaded randomly. I didn't open it, i uploaded it to VirusTotal which came out safe and then i instantly deleted it and ran a virus scan with Windows Security which also came out clean. i tried to recreate this by opening the same website again both on Firefox and other browsers like Zen(Firefox based) and Chrome but nothing happened.

is this a harmless bug or should i worry that it could be a virus that didnt get detected?

Dear Community,

Since more than a month, when firefox was updated, all my bookmarks seem to be gone,which includes a lot of valuable research made over the past few years.

I have tried all suggestions that google give me to restore my bookmarks, but as far as I understand, there are no newer ones since 2019 (nor older ones than 2018) on my computer? That's what I find in a folder called 'bookmarkbackups' with json-files. Separately I also searched for 'json' and '.jsonlz4' and found nothing after 2019. Also I searched for .html, but nothing seemed to contain bookmark directly.

When I go to manage bookmarks > 'import/export' icon in the upper bar, it suggests two options, for 'nov 13 2025', or today's date), of which none provide me with any bookmarks.

Can I somehow still recover my research?

Do I really need to backup manually?

Or need I start saving all URLs in a word-document for my new research project?...

Firefox seems to update regularly, I currently have version 145.01. (I work on a Mac 2021, with Ventura 13.7.8)

I highly appreciate any advice on this matter.

Kind regards, Maria

I have an website which I prior to this error message have visited many times on Firefox and had no problems. Recently though around two days ago I noticed that I couldn't get in and was met with the following message "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead". I can't bypass it apparently and I really need to be able to access this site as it's a University site.

I can access the site on other browsers such as Chrome and Edge but I use Firefox as my default browser and I'd like to keep it that way. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

I am using Thunderbird 115.5.2 (64-bit) on an older iMac on OS 10.12. I have four email address accounts, all gmail, and using POP. I have stored emails I wanted to keep in sub folders in Local Folders. This has all worked well for years.

Yesterday I lost lost all content from some of the subfolders in Local Folders, while some retained some content and a few seem intact. I also lost most emails that had arrived in the inboxes in the last week. The folder pane still shows the accounts, with their own set of folders. As usual, the inbox folders are highlighted with the number of new emails downloaded from the Gmail server to each address, but I can not see them in the message pane, or find them anywhere else. I sent a test message from one of my addresses to another – It didn't show as sent in Thunderbird, but did go through the gmail server and the message count of downloaded messages on the recipient address went up by one, but I couldn't see the email. Then I tried clicking on the folder "properties" then 'Repair Folder' but nothing happened, although the information on that window showed the number of messages and MB that I would expect to be in that folder, rather than what was there, which presumably means they may still be in there somewhere? I would be very grateful for help – I'm not tech savvy and feeling completely lost.

I am sending a message with Thunderbird through my email server Yahoo. The sending has worked flawlessly until yesterday afternoon; I am getting the following error.

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.mail.yahoo.com timed out. Try again.

This works fine with Outlook but not Thunderbird since yesterday afternoon.

Hi everyone - and big thanks in advance for considering my request: I have/ had windows 11 on my old machine and windows 11 on my new machine; because my 'old computer' is not running anymore at all (liquid damage), I can no longer start Thunderbird and follow the 'export tool function' (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-export) and thus can only do the manual transfer (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer); I didn't think that I would need to go through the export tool steps when I saved the Thunderbird profile folder regularly as backup on the cloud; yet when I started Thunderbird on my new machine following the above steps by moving the Thunderbird profile folder manually, the result is that - although Thunderbird is 'running' and the mailbox is functioning properly - the key folders are empty (i.e. the sub-folder structure is completely lost, in fact there are no individual emails at all); the issue seems to be that the size of the Thunderbird profile folder is too large (the "Profiles" folder has a size of 20.5 GB) for doing this transfer via copy & paste of the Thunderbird profile folder from the cloud (I also tried USB) to the new machine; I understand that the size issue via the manual transfer could be 'overcome' just by starting Thunderbird on the 'old machine' and following the above steps explained under mozilla support; yet that's no longer an option; what could I do please?

I have a Thunderbird account on my private laptop and need to move certain files and address labels to Thunderbirds on a new laptop. Can you please advise how this can be done or if it not possible to copy individual folders. Thank you.

Up until today I have been able to send emails(with attachments) from my laptop to my cell phone. Now when I want to send an email I receive an error message saying" An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:(VO-1)Message blocked due to spam content in the message. Please check the message and try again. I tried several times since and the same result. Thank you.

I have Thunderbird installed on my business desktop, and also my laptop. Both work well.

However my main usage, for obvious reasons, is the desktop. That's where I usually respond to customers, save the messages for later, etc. The laptop is used mainly when I travel; I can respond to customers who contact me, and let them know I can process their requests when I return.

The problem I'm having: when I receive new messages on my laptop, it immediately deletes them from the server. They never appear on my desktop, making it much harder for me to process their requests later on.

This doesn't happen the other way around. When I open Thunderbird on my laptop, I receive all the recent e-mails that have already been viewed on my desktop. I don't mind that so much, but I have a problem when the laptop deletes those e-mails to make them unviewable on my main desktop.

I'm sure there's a setting for this, but I can't find it. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?
