I use Google Workspace as my e-mail provider, and Thunderbird (PoP3 -- there is a good reason why I use PoP and not IMAP) as my e-mail client. This has worked very well for a long time. Yesterday (4/12/22) updated TB from 91.7.0 to 91.8.0. Previously, I would enter my Google Workspace password (only, once per session) to download mail, and my gmail password (only, once per session) to send mail (using Google's SMTP server). After the update, I was asked for both username and password to log into the Google Workspace account, and every time I sent an e-mail I had to provide both username and password for the gmail account. Fortunately, I had set a restore point before the TB update and was able to restore my system to its normal operation. Can you please help me with what is going on, and how to get back to normal operation under the new update? Thank you!

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19044 build 19044 (21H2)

When switching on Thunderbird 91.8.1 (64bit) today, it immediately downloaded mail from my IMAP account followed by the message "Server not found - start.thunderbird.net could not be found. Please check the name and try again. Check typing errors / network connection / firewall / proxy etc." Selecting 'Try again' simply opened the 'Welcome' overlay leaving the client operating as before.

This is a first as far as I can remember. But in the midst of the other more problematical events that have been occurring, (see my previous question, recently updated discussing possible Settings errors retained in the Profile): 'Exporting folders with ImportExportTools NG' https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1373167

Can anyone suggest if there is any link between these events - and confirm a solution that would clean or replace the profile but leave (or restore) the messages and folders unchanged ?

I have two email accounts that I access via Thunderbird v91.8.1 (64 bit): -

1. Gmail, which is set up to use Gmail's OAuth2 and works fine and, 2. Zoho mail, which currently uses Username and 'Normal password' authentication, which also works fine. For now.

If Zoho mail stops supporting username/password and tightens their security to use MFA (as they are likely to, like Gmail has) then their equivalent to OAuth2 is their own 'OneAuth' and Thunderbird does not seem to support this at this time.

If this happens then I will no longer be able to use TB to access my Zoho emails so can you tell me if TB is intending to support zoho's OneAuth as well as Gmail's OAuth2 and when we may expect this to happen?

Thank you

Incredibly, Thunderbird will not save a login password even though the box is checked. Not only that, a sign in with Google screen keeps popping up every two or three minutes. What the blankety-blank is wrong? How can this email client, so many years in development, behave so stupidly? I've checked various links from Mozilla and others, but none of the so-called solutions actually work. I need to know:

1. How can I convince Thunderbird to save my login passwords?

2. How can I stop the sign in with Google screen from constantly reappearing?

I realise this is a bit of a niche problem, but it's really annoying.

I use a British newspaper crossword site, https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords

The crossword consists of a lot of 1-character text fields, and when you type into one of them, it auto-advances to the next one. Firefox on Android always tries to put the new box that the cursor is in as close to the center of the display as possible. This takes 1/2 a second, during which Firefox misses the next letter I'm trying to type.

Either I need to slow my typing down, or I need to stop Firefox auto-centering the new text box.

Is this possible?

I have been marking emails from a specific account (local councilor in a city I lived in until three years ago), and still the emails get through. I have installed 78.11.0 (64-bit). I would have thought by now that three years of "mark as junk" would have got the message through to the junk filters; that Thunderbird would, by now, have learned something. Is there a hard and heavy hammer that can be used to state finally that any and all email from "Krzstzyn Wzng-Tzm <rzdzng@tcndp.cz>" is Junk? Thanks Chris Greaves

This problem appears on MacOS 10.13.3 but NOT Linux Mint 19.3 (Tricia).

Repeat-by:

1. Start here:

       https://www.cnn.com/

That page should load cleanly.

2. Now click on "Live Updates", which is the top entry in the middle column of that page, and as of 3 April 2022 11:20 AM EDT takes you to:

       https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-news-04-3-22/index.html

On MacOS, that page loads and is momentarily visible; then the page/tab it's loaded in goes blank. On Linux, that page loads as expected and remains visible.

Notes:

The problem did not happen with Firefox 88.0.1/MacOS.

The problem does not happen with Firefox 98.0.2/Linux, i.e., it appears to be specific to MacOS.

The problem remains whether extensions are enable or disabled (one a time or all at once).

The problem remains after the cache has been flushed and pages have been reloaded.

The problem remains after Firefox has been (completely) shut down and (cleanly) restarted.

The problem does not happen with Chrome/Chromium on either MacOS or Linux.

The problem also happens on *some* other pages on CNN's site (but not all) and on *some* (but not all) pages of other sites but there doesn't seem to be a pattern that explains which URLs exhibit it and which don't. This suggests that it's not privacy settings or extensions or anything like that, because there's no reason for those to vary from page to page within any one site.

If I'm VERY fast on hitting the "X" that stops a page loading/rendering while in progress, and I get the timing just right, I can catch it before the page/tab goes blank. So it appears that Firefox is in fact fetching all the content and can render it, but then for some reason is blanking the page/tab once that's done.

The attached screenshot shows what the problematic page (from step 2 above) looks like on Linux. On MacOS it's blank, so I didn't include a screenshot of that.
