I have thousands of old emails in a few inactive Thunderbird email accounts. I want to be able to get these off my laptop, delete the old accounts and store the emails on an external drive and be able to retrieve and access them in the future if needed.

Hello Community! Till today I use Firefox as browser , but everytime I tick on Firefox logo > Bing comes ! Even I prefer Firefox as browser > Bing popups ! How can I delete Bing browser ??? Thank you and greetings from Haris !

Hi there!

I'm using Firefox Nightly version 88.0a1 (2021-03-19) (64-bit) at the moment. And I couldn't help but notice that the native screenshot option is absent from my adress bar menu.

It is avaiable at the customization options, but I don't know if it's possible to get it back "inside" the address bar.

Can someone help me out?

I changed the email address for my Firefox Account today, which involved entering my password. The password was not recognized, despite having been used without any problems in the past, and being stored unchanged in my password manager.

I managed to reset the password using my Recovery Key, logged in with it successfully, then tried to create a new Recovery Key to replace the now obsolete one. The process failed at the first step, however, claiming an incorrect password. I reset once more, again logged in with it successfully, and yet again I get an incorrect password error when trying to generate a new Recovery Key.

Obviously the password is working fine as I've successfully used it to log into this Support forum.

What could be the issue here?

Hello,

Just after installing debian buster in my computer, I could use firefox to download some other programs, that was a week ago. Now I can't use it. When I open the browser and type any URL it just stays loading the page, even when I type about:config I get the same behaviour. I have --reinstall the pagacke, removed profile, start firefox in safe mode, but nothing. I'll really appreciate your help.

Hi Until recently I was using Live Mail and could archive emails I needed to keep in named subject folders e.g mobile phone bills. I found this very useful but I do not seem to be able to do this with Thunderbird. Archiving according to date and not subject will not be much use to me as I have still to migrate all my archived folders from Live Mail. Is there any way I can set up subject folders to archive emails? If there is could you make the instructions very simple please - I am not very tech savvy. Many thanks for your help Veronica Bennett

I no longer have access to Tbird. I have no saved passwords and cannot change my master password. I keep getting 'enter your password for awneitsch on imap.shaw.ca'

I am using Thunderbird connection with g-mail system of Tokyo Univ. However, since March 10th, I can not connect with my mail and showed " can not connect with imap.gmail.com server fs88230122@g.ecc.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp and input my password". Unfortunately, I forget my PW. How can I do? And also in near future I wish to change exting my Thunderbird connection to another imap due to my tarnsfer. How can I do to change my Thunderbird? It would be appreciated if you could instruct me kindly how can I solve this problem. Regards Fumiaki Shono

dear people and fire fox i recently switched from crome to firefox. but now I get a black block on all the websites that I visit, which suddenly appears and later also disappears. tried everything and firefox customer service is hard to get to. so any idea is welcome.

Can't locate "not junk" button in T Bird. Have message in junk file and select capital J to remove label. But file always reappears in Junk file. Right mouse click used to have "Not Junk" option but it is no longer there.

Sometimes when I’m browsing I’ll have random black rectangles appear on my screen. Usually minimizing or pulling it to a window and then bringing it back to full screen gets them to go away, but not always. I’ve attached a few pictures, but it probably happens a few times a day at least

Bear with me there's a bit of a story.

One of the apps I most use is MightyText. It allows me to send texts from my desktop computer's web browser. When FireFox automatically updated to the newest version, something didn't work right and MightyText stopped being able to connect.

My workaround was to use System Restore to go back in time so to speak. But FireFox is pretty aggressive with their updates, and eventually that stopped being a work around.

I tried to install an older version of FireFox manually but I couldn't ever get my profile to work right.

So, I've landed somewhere where FireFox has updated to the latest version, AND MightyText works just fine.

But now the problem is I cannot use any of my add-ons. Actually, I can re-fresh FireFox, and start it without any add ons. I can add all my add ons and everything works great, but if I restart my computer, FireFox will not connect to the internet (the wheel just spins) until I refresh again and wipe out all the add-ons. After doing so, all my tabs are restored, all my saved passwords, etc--and I can add back the add-ons and they will work until FireFox Crashes or I restart the computer, but then FF won't connect to the internet and around and around we go.

What's up?

Last night Firefox insisted that it be updated and so I allowed the update on my somewhat antiquated laptop. It's the laptop that my wife uses and because she's far from tech-friendly, things need to be simple and basic. She didn't want to update it because everything was fine for the limited browsing that she uses the laptop for but for the sake of doing as we're told, we let it happen.

When the laptop restarted and we went to open Firefox, a damned User Profile Box appeared - one that's got me scratching my head and cursing. What the hell is it? Choose User Profile Then inside the box; Create Profile Rename Profile Delete Profile She doesn't have a 'profile' - what the hell is it anyway? Why should we make this change - what's it in aid of?

Whatever, we opted to click on Rename Profile and found that the existing profile was 'User', so I renamed it with her name - and then started Firefox. A blank Firefox page appeared - with no favourites; no log-ins; no records - NOTHING. Preferences? NONE. What on earth has happened? She had a selection of physiotherapy exercises in her favourites - WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY? THEY WERE VITAL FOR HER HEALTH AND NOW THEY'RE GONE. Just what the hell is going on? Why do we need to go through all this - where have all her records gone?

Ok - I searched the internet for an answer. I then found a similar case from back in 2015 - and the member (because it was on this forum) came to the conclusion that it was best to use Chrome instead - and I reckon that's what my wife will have to do. If this change can't be undone and if her saved information can't be accessed (and EASILY - not via a string of convoluted instructions that neither she nor I will understand) then you've just lost another customer. Answers please - and simple ones, not a long guide through the mess that's inside Firefox.

I downloaded a file from my scanner and when I tried to e-mail it to someone, I am told that it does not exist, even though I can open it in Adobe and pdf. How can I download to something that can be e-mailed?

Do You know or Can You create a Hot-key to Delete messeges Marked as Junk in a folder? Or can You help to set this Hot-Key in the last edition of Thunderbird?

Is there a CURRENT explanation (not one from 10 versions ago), for why I keep saving the same new contact over & over & over & over & it never appears in my address book. I've got about a full hour trying to do this one simple thing. The system seems to accept the new contact, but it never actually appears when I pull up "Contacts." How do I set up a new contact?

I can see that there are reasons why Thunderbird defines & differentiates "mailing list" vs "contacts" vs "address book", but having so many options adds to the confusion. Maybe these categories are part of my problem??? I have nothing in what T calls the "Personal address book". I have contacts in both my "Contacts" folder and the "Collected Addresses". My needs are simple... I need ONE address book, which I would use as my ONE mailing list. I don't need subcategories or multiple mailing lists. I just want to add a contact & see it appear in my Contacts folder. Why is such a simple task so difficult in T?
