Hi

Is it possible to use some managment tool in corporate network of Thunderbird Clients? We have clients in our company deployed with one version when reinstalling workstations. As Thunderbird can be set so that it does not download the update, it is still in a state where at least it asks and the user clicks on it. The question is that is it possible to do this in some software or update center??? The point ist we dont have the control over the clients updates. We wont to release these updates for the whole company when we agree not when the users do so by accident. What often happens to us, the versions are then different and we would like to have it under control.

Imagine we replace 100 workstations a year. The version is the same. Time will pass and in 3 months it will be a mess. Is there any way to keep it in order ??? Tips on how to keep one version in a large network and then do a massive update on 100+ workstations.

This mess of various versions then causes a problem for users with different views and unnecessary problems in managing clients for administrators in our company. When we know that version 80 is good and then that 85 is good again or does not cause any problem in our environment after the tests. Then we will deploy it for everyone.

Thank you for your help Lubomir

Firefox will only open in Safe mode, previously it was working but now it's not.

I have Ubuntu 22.04 Firefox version 99.0.1 (64-bit)

When I try to open it in command line, it's also only opening in safe mode but I do also get some error messages that I've included below.

So what does all this stuff below from the command line actually mean? And how do I fix it?

 (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
  that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
  To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment

  backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Apparently since version 91, I have an issue with Virtual Folders.

Current version is 91.3.0

In my "Sent" virtual folder, messages sent by Gmail do not appear in the overview list.

I tried to clarify the issue: - the messages sent through my Gmail accounts do not appear in the summary list, but they appear in the detailed folders - this problem concerns all my Gmail accounts and no other accounts (laposte.net, me.com). - this problem only concerns the SENT virtual folder, not the other virtual folders - I can make all the messages sent to reappear correctly, by going to the properties of the virtual folder, then "choose" and ticking the right folders. But when I quit Thunderbird and come back, the messages no longer appear (and the checkmarks for those folders have disappeared). - I arrive at the same result by deleting in the data of Thunderbird the folder "smart mailboxes" and the file "VirtualFolders.dat": at the first launch everything works, at the second one again, the unified view for the Gmail accounts is lost (and Gmail mailboxes do not appear in the VirtualFolders.dat file, section Sent ". They appear in all other sections.) - I deleted and recreated one of my Gmail accounts, without success.

Thanks in advance for your help. Jean-Pierre

Up until March 23 I was able to send Bcc to several people. Yesterday I tried to send Bcc and I get the message "Sending of the message failed.

The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) outbound.att.net for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." I have checked my outgoing settings and nothing has changed. Even just trying to send to one person with Bcc doesn't work. The mail will go if I use the To: I have two Thunderbird mail accounts and they both give me the same message when sending Bcc. I use Yahoo mail. sbcglobal.net. I have tried deleting the password and when I tried to send the mail it asked for my password. After submitting it I still have the same problem. I even tried changing the SMTP settings. No luck there. I tried the trouble shooting mode and that didn't work. I've tried searching for a solution but didn't have any luck. I'm hoping to get some help on the support site. Thanks for any help.

When downloading financial data to Moneydance software, the download correctly opens Moneydance and update data file correctly, but after v98 Firefox update a second identical .qfx file is downloaded to my desktop which I then have to securely delete as a redundant file on my PC.... This is new behavior, has always worked perfectly previously. Firefox settings under Files and Application header are as follows: Downloads: Save files to Desktop Applications: Actions are set to use Moneydance.exe for all OFX and QFX financial data

The extra file showing up on my desktop is new and unwanted. It seems to be unneeded as it can be deleted without any obvious effect and no loss of data in Moneydance

If I compose a new mail and attach a PDF from the hard disk, the sent mail is properly created with:

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="filename.pdf"

If I instead compose a new mail and use drag and drop to attach a PDF from another email attachment, the mail is sent with the following mime header:

I think this is an error. I was able to reproduce the behaviour on linux (91.8.0) and windows (91.8.1).

the option to clear cookies on close is off, i have no clue why it's doing this, i know it's not an extension or a program. ( at least i hope it's not )

thankfully it always makes a backup but i really don't want to have to through the files and remove the .bak every single time i wanna go through the internet. any advice?
