I have a new Mac mini M2, and Firefox will not work. I have had zero problems with FF on my old mini.

I am operating MacOS 13.3.1 (a), and trying to get Firefox 113.0 to work. It will start, but, after running through the new-install windows, it will not load any pages, such as google, and gets stuck in "a checking for updates" loop. Eventually, I have to force quit. I have removed all traces of previous versions from my system, and restarted, then done a clean install of FF, without loading any previous information, files, tabs, etc. Just the bare bones. All antivirus is off. No plugins other the the Open H264 and Widevine Content Decryption. No extensions. Set on standard privacy.

I have done this several times. Working in trouble shooting mode makes little difference. I can sometimes open 3 tabs before everything goes south.

Safari is working fine.

I'm about to give up on Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

I carelessly opened an email and within seconds I had a problem with T'bird. The password vault was locked and although I had the correct password I could not get access. I deleted T'bird and the Mozilla maintenance folder, leaving Firefox in place. Reinstalled T'bird and the vault was still locked. Two a/v programs are negative. I guess there's a hidden folder somewhere that needs sorting out? I much prefer T'bird to anything else so I hope to find a solution. Thanks.

Hi, I've been having trouble with Thunderbird for a few days now.

I recently turned on and updated my laptop, which shares the same thunderbird accounts as my desktop. I had to update Thunderbird and log back into my google accounts because it had been some time since I last used that device. I noticed that I wasn't receiving emails on my desktop anymore. I did some research and tried applying fixes that I read online.

So far I've tried: Deleting my saved passwords > didn't work Removing the account entirely and re-adding it > Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account. Uninstalling Thunderbird and deleting any saved profile data > Same as above.

I did install a new router, a Netgear Nighthawk but I'm not sure if this is the cause of my trouble as both my mother's PC and my Laptop use Thunderbird. Both continue to work.

I use Kaspersky for my AV / security but all three machines also use Kaspersky and I've no issues on two of the three.

I'm currently running TB ver 102.11.0 (64 bit).

Any assistance and clear instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I noticed that on Facebook there is not shown data and time on every post. Some posts show this info, the other don't. I cleared cookies, deleted Facebook from history but it didn't help. On Chrome everything is showing normally. I put Firefox in solving problems mode, with add-ons off, it didn't help too. Any solutions?

Problem started several days ago......driving me nuts ! Win 10 / X64 / Thunderbird 102.11.1 Comcast e-mail I use Malwarebytes and Norton

I can download from Comcast all my mails with no problems to Thunderbird. I can send New e-mails from Thunderbird with no issues.

However if I use REPLY or FORWARD to send a message I get an error box saying to check my settings. All y settings are fine because I can receive and send messages ( new ones) with no problems. It's only the reply and forward functions that give me the problem. Enclosed is screenshot of the message I get. Tried clearing cache as well as several other minor repairs to no avail. Any suggestions ?

Hello I am new to Tb but I have problems with GMAIL, the synchronization works fine from the server, I can move emails to any folder, send them to the trash and delete them and it syncs in TB, but when I do the same from Tb this does not work well when I move an email to the trash and then delete it from TB it is not deleted in Gmail and stays there until I close TB. The configuration I have is IMAP. and the problem gives me with Gmail because with zohomail it works correctly. What am i doing wrong?

Hello

I'm running Thunderbird 102.11.0 with Gnome 44.1 and the Wayland windowing system on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. The first time I launch the application after a restart it always hangs with a blank window titled "Home - Mozilla Thunderbird". The same thing happens whether I launch the application using the shell or the desktop icon. If I close the blank window and try again then the application always launches correctly on the second attempt.

This issue started about 4-6 weeks ago before that I never had any problems launching Thunderbird.

Any ideas on how I can debug this?

Cheers Norman

I have an extension (completely blank) that can't be deinstalled. I am trying to use the "refresh firefox feature" to get rid of it, but the button simply isn't where it should be. The text is german, but none if these Buttons are the one I seek.

Can not save images from Google Images, by holding down on the image, and then tapping save image. The menu simply does not pop-up. Holding down on the image results in selection of the image description below. Sometimes you can not save it form the website either, but that is because of website configuration and you can not save it on other browsers, but on other browsers you can save from Google Images by holding down on an image, so it is only the issue of Firefox and not the Google Images website. This issue seems to be present for over 2 years based on online feedback, and it is still not fixed.

Hello, I hope someone can help me.

Ever since I updated firefox, my cpu is almost at 100%. With only 2 or 3 tabs open. I updated from version 106.0.2 to 112.0.2. Before this update, I could have several tabs open, up to 10 and the computer would run fine. Now with 3 tabs open, it gets really slow. And I can hear my desktop suffering (the fans go to full speed). When checking the task manager, firefox is taking all the memory and the cpu usage is almost at 100%. I have to keep restarting firefox.

The conditions are the same. The only thing that changes was updating firefox. I already searched for ways to reduce the firefox cpu usage, but nothing changed.

Is there a way to fix this? Or how can I go back to an older version of firefox? Because I'm afraid my computer will die from simply opening 3 tabs.

Thank you in advance.

Moin all,

since some several weeks I'm facing a real anoying problem. Every Youtube (and other platforms) Video shows extreme brightness. It looks like as someone recorded the video directly in the sun. An example is the best so I attached a Photo with FF in the top left, Chrome in the top right and Edge at the Bottom. Only the frames have been a bit cropped for privacy.

The video shown in the screenshot can be found here. Today I also tried a fresh installation of my Win 11 and also FF (Had some free SSD around for that). But this had no effect, it looked the same. The only change I can see is when the Troubleshoot mode is being activated. But only while this mode is active. If FF is being reset or even new installation (like before fresh Win 11), no change.

Cause of this behaviour I also mentioned FF Video Stream is not HDR. The others show HDR but as not every Youtube Video can be HDR I think this is not the Problem. Anyway, I don't want to change my favorite browser which was working now for about 20 years.

Does anybody have a clue what is causing this or is it a bug?

greets indy

Since probably 3 or 4 weeks ago Ebay through Firefox has been terribly slow. I have selected the option not to track in the address bar and still the same problem. I run ebay through MS Edge and runs perfectly. Happens to me in 3 out of 4 computers. Only in 1 works ok, very strange...

Speed connection in all of them is at least 200mb/s

Thanks.

I recently have been unable to send email using the Thunderbird email client with my Outlook email. (See attached screenshots for error and settings).

I am on Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Thunderbird version 102.11.2.

I've tried disabling Windows Firewall but that doesn't seem to help. I also have Thunderbird on my laptop and it works fine.

Let me know if I can provide more info, thanks for the help!

Currently Firefox is redirecting http://localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8081 , each time when type the address in the URL address bar.

I have been working with a container wordpress. I have tested in chrome the address http://localhost:8080 and all works fine.

How can we fix that problems, thanks in advance.

I have removed cookies and site data of localhost in Privacy-and-security> Manage-data>

Hi,

Since the latest update today 102.11.0 (64-bits) my Thunderbird on Windows 10, freezes when receiving mail. I did a new install but that did not help, I have turned off every email notificiation, that also didn't help.

I have asked my ISP but they have no server problems with my imap account. On my phone, with a different program, I have no problem at all.

Is there anything I can do to get this fixed?

Thanks !

All typed text appears blue until you break it in some ways like pressing the spacebar or moving the keyboard cursor with the arrow keys. It happens at the firefox search bar as well, and search suggestions and autocomplete doesn't work whenever it happens.

A problem I run into a fair bit is having legitimate emails going to my spam folder. I've added the email addresses to my address book and I've moved the emails into my inbox hoping Thunderbird would get the hint but neither has helped. I'm not sure how to address this and I'm hoping someone has a solution.

Since Ebay changed their format for auction ads the photos that are part of the ads open as faint negatives that can barely be seen. However, if you right click on one and save to a new tab they are fine.

I keep getting "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" messages when sending emails from Thunderbird to Gmail accounts. Can you help? I am using Thunderbird 102.11.2 (32-bit) as POP mail server with email account through pairserver.com (SSL/TSL with normal password). I can send to Gmail accounts with no trouble directly from webmail.pair.com.

I have a blog hosted on Render. The base URL provided by them is https://parker-codes.onrender.com. This URL works perfectly, in all browsers.

I purchased a domain from Google and then linked a CNAME record to the Render one: https://blog.parker-codes.dev. This URL works in many browsers except for Firefox Mobile (on Android). I receive the error "Address not found. The browser could not find the host server for the provided address."

- I flushed the DNS cache and checked that it propagated across the globe. I used nslookup to verify the domain resolution. - I tested in various other browsers on desktop (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) and mobile (Chrome) and they all work. - I turned off mobile extensions. I also tried in a private window. Still no luck. - I reached out to Google support. They don't see any domain or DNS issues on their end.

From all of this, it appears that the Firefox mobile browser has a bug that can't load the site for some reason. It can't properly resolve the host even though many other browsers can.
