Hello! As you may know, FireFox does not use the Windows Certificate Store by default. Therefore I have to change the "security.enterprise-roots.enabled" in the preferences on each workstation. I have searched and found ways to enforce this change by GPE , but I wonder if there is a way to change firefox preferences, especially the one I've mentioned, via Registry Editor.

Hi Mozilla Community I have attached a large-ish file 19.7 mb (a video) to an email. Pressed send and an alert comes up telling me I should use file share because ... and this is my issue .... the email is (now) 27 mb in size. I have updated Thunderbird, I'm using Imap and the TB version is 91.9.1 My computer is a two year old HP X360 laptop running Win10. I'm also using Bitdefender Total Security. I have tried several times with blank emails (no words) and a video attachment and some with just a few words and the attachment and also with other size attachments. Same result. This also happened with a 33mb pdf attachment, the alert saying the email size is 43mb I don't know where this extra 7mb or 10mb is coming from unless the alert calculation is wrong. Surely sending a blank email doesn't require this much data. I'm interested in others views and ideas. regards David

Hello, I've followed Firefox's invitation to install and update the browser on my Mac. Unfortunately the new version is not compatible with OS 10 El Capitan, my operating system, so now I can't use Firefox at all. How I do get the old version back?

Thank you, Lars

I got a new Acer laptop with windows 11 (64bit). I downloaded FF but when I open it, it just gives a blank page. If I type in an address nothing happens. I have tried reinstalling but nothing seems to work

I am using v. 91.9.1 of Thunderbird e-mail

I have been running 4 e-mail addresses, all with BT.

This last week 2 of those addresses have stopped sending outward messages although I haven't changed anything in Thunderbird or BT.

The other 2 addresses work for both in & outgoing mail.

On the failed outgoing mail I get the following message:- "Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.btinternet.com. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'." BT says they can't help. The problem is with Thunderbird??

Any ideas ? Regards David Bates

Hello,

I sometimes receive large file attachment while using Thunderbird. My current version is 91.9.1. When I try to save the attachment to local computer, it saves the file as 1KB file size with no error messages or anything. I did not have this problem in the past with older Thunderbird version.

Does this problem happens only in the newer version? I was able to download the same attachment using gmail. I hope that I do not have to go through this every time I get a large file attachment.

Thank you.

I just upgraded from a Windows 10 PC to a new Windows 11 PC. Under W10, the Home icon appeared in the top left of the screen, to the right of the Reload icon. But as you can see, it has disappeared. How can I get it back? I have clicked around all the options I can find, but nothing...

I followed instructions posted on a TB fourm on how to generate an app password in order for my TB to work with AOL. I'm receiving mail in Thunderbird but can't send. I suspect that I may not have followed the instructions completely and would like to start over. Do I need to delete the AOL generated password on AOL and create a new one or just create a new one for the outgoing server? Would appreciate any help! JD

Right now, the messages in my threads pane show up in colors associated with their tags. This isn't a functionality I need and it makes it difficult for me to read a lot of the messages. I just want messages to show up in a single color -- black (or white on black would be great, but I don't know how to set a dark mode if one exists). I suppose even better would be the ability to have certain tags affect color and other not.

Any easy way of doing any of this?

Hi folks. I got a popup today advising me to upgrade Thunderbird to the newest version. I thought, "hey why not, I've been using Thunderbird for YEARS, I like it it's great"....so I did I can no longer connect either of my gmail accounts or my icloud account. Is this a known problem with the upgrade? If I wait a bit will "it fix itself"?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

When I click on a link to a PDF in a website, expecting it to open, it does not open. Instead, I am asked to save it to a file on my computer (apparently more or less selected at random). To open it and read it I have to navigate to that file. Not a terrible problem, but bothersome. I imagine I must have inadvertently told Firefox to behave this way.

Hi, I want to use Windows Task Scheduler to send command line emails via Thunderbird.

I have found only: thunderbird -compose "attachment='C:\first.txt,C:\second.txt'"

This works. But I also want to include email to, subject, text body and send.

I have tried options like Blat. Blat works but not with gmail.com as they block it. So with Thunderbird installed locally I may be able to work around the new gmail restrictions.

Many thanks.

Hi, I love my recommended by pocket on my new tab or when firefox opens. Yesterday Firefox asked me if I'd like to try a new setting disabling all cookies, I did opt in. After that my recommended by pocket disappeared. I opted out of disabling all cookies, but it hasn't reappeared. I checked about:config and the setting for recommendations is true. Please help!

I cannot rename saved Bookmarks. I can go through the process but after finishing, the Bookmark is NOT renamed in the Bookmarks list.

This is very inconvenient. This needs to be fixed. I am using a Samsung Galaxy A12 phone.

Another unrelated question is concerning coping and pasting URLS. I can't paste them elsewhere but I guess that needs to be addressed separetly.

After a complete hard drive meltdown, I had to re-install windows (10 Pro) and then TB, which is now a blank slate. I have my old profile stored. But in it, my two primary e-mail accounts were POP3 (alongside a number of IMAP accounts) and I was never sure how to switch them to IMAP without having to change the e-mail addresses. And I always quickly moved e-mails out of the inbox into a series of local folders for storage. So pretty much everything I need to reference is in some kind of local folder. So my question is: 1. Is it possible to selectively import local folders from an old TB profile into my newly-installed TB? OR 2. Should I load my old profile and then try to change the two primary accounts to IMAP and can I/how do I do that while keeping the e-mail address? I currently have the new TB on my desktop and the old TB with my profile on my laptop with the "check for new messages" disabled on all accounts. NB I am 60+ and while relatively computer literate for my age, maybe somebody could ... to quote Tom Hanks ... explain it to me like I'm a 3-year-old :0 TIA for any help, Rebecca

Hello Everyone,

After inserting the proxy information, webpages in the container tab refuse to load/connect, I insert the IP address and I've also tried the Fully qualified domain name, using the type://host:port syntax, I get "The proxy server is refusing connections" and "The connection has timed out" error messages.

If I setup the proxy via the settings menu the entire browser uses the proxy server address, I am trying to specify a different proxy server for each container.

I'm a long time user of Linux Mint. Now on 20.3 and Cinnamon desktop. Also a long time user of Thunderbird. Now in version 91.8.1 Always used the "allow insecure apps" in my gmail account settings and used normal password stored in Thunderbird. Google urges to change the authentication method to oAuth2. Tried everything to no avail. Always "authentication fails when connecting to imap.gmail.com" Cleared all cookies, allowed them, deleted all saved passwords, followed all published advise I could find, and nothing. Then I made a brand new profile pointing to an empty dir and entered my gmail address and checked everything. Same result. In despair I installed Evolution and all run fine at the first try. Should I really give up on Thunderbird? Thanks in advance for any help!
