For the past few days, when I try to log on to PlayStation on Firefox, the sign-in page sits on a loading swirl after inputting email. There's a clear memory leak shown on Task Manager. The menu bar's right-click doesn't draw properly. FF can't be closed and needs to be terminated. The only extension I have is uBlock Origin disabled for this site.

This website works on Edge.

Attached is the broken menu from right-clicking the menu bar.

Here is screen shot:

My iMac is OSX. I use Firefox browser most of the time. I had used Safari years ago. Chrome had rarely been used. Firefox problems recently began. Please help.

I have two mail accounts on Thunderbird. When I download messages to one account, the messages are automatically marked as read. Messages to the other account are not.

I do not use BitDefender.

Any thoughts on why it does it to one but not the other? Messages are both downloaded from the same ISP.

Since the UI upgrade, my Thunderbird client has become slow on my PC. On opening instead of what was previously a quick start-up to my INBOX, it now hangs and you can see (from bottom left) its polling out to email servers and waiting for a response .... much slower than previously.

It's not a server response as I use same email on my iPad and that logs in with almost zero delay.

Occasionally also lags behind key board, you are typing and you are several characters or even words in front of the client.

Is there any rebuild or similar I should do now I am on the 'new look'

I have recently started using Thunderbird 115.4.3 on a new laptop running Windows 11. I transferred my profile from my old laptop and set up my two email accounts as POP accounts. The problem is that Tbird is regularly crashing, mostly (maybe only?) when I delete messages from my Inbox. When I restart the program, it works fine except that all or most of the messages in Trash are now duplicated multiple times. Any ideas how to stop this behavior?

Hello, I have been a diehard Firefox user since it was still in Beta. I have been using computers personally since 1994 and professionally since 2004, doing Windows and Linux systems administration. I can and will do whatever (within limits) you need me to do to troubleshoot and resolve this issue, which is otherwise going to cause me to abandon this otherwise excellent browser, perhaps forever. The browser.cache.disk.capacity seems to work, but browser.cache.memory.capacity does not.

Why does firefox not respect the assigned values for browser memory cache (browser.cache.memory.capacity)? Is there anything I can do to limit the memory and processor usage of Firefox and its child processes? Is extension CPU/memory usage constrained by the application values? Is there a way to determine and/or limit the resource usage of extensions?

I have included a number of screenshots documenting its behavior and generated an about:memory report during "normal use". After configuring a number of system variables, I then attempted to determine its resource usage under heavy load.

Open the browser with a couple 2, 3 tabs: ~1GB memory usage Use the browser as "normal" (dozens tabs): ~2GB memory usage Open 100+ tabs from history: The CPU and memory resource usage increases until it consumes all available system resources despite configured values. After killing and restarting the process, the tabs have invisible titles in the extension and browser, and must be closed using Ctrl+W until only a few remain after which the browser can be used normally and again consumes ~1GB.

While I understand "just don't open so many tabs", under some circumstances such as poorly written websites, bugs, etc, even single sites may attempt to claim excessive resources. I sometimes run VMs and such on this machine and in order to retain a responsive system, cannot have applications consuming all of the available resources. I have found one proposed solution that uses an external application, is this the only way?

I am open to allowing Firefox to utilize more of the SSD storage (the 1GB limit was imposed for testing) and would be fine with increased slowness due to disk cache or refetching internetworked resources. However, none of the settings I have changed or attempts I have made appear to be able to limit the memory usage in any way. Additional included screenshots are linked above instead of as attachments due to number. I can share or generate additional reports to assist in troubleshooting.

Thank you! JackD

Hi, As of yesterday I am unable to send emails out. I keep getting this message below. I have gmail on same computer and that works fine. I am able to receive emails but can't send. Please help

Granted, I have massive boxes...but in my Sent folder, I checked a mail sent just this morning and wanted to right click it to 'edit as a new message'...however, when it opens, the content is related to a different email and the sendto email is also from a different email. Is there a way to clean up something like this? I shut down TB and waited and reopened and the issue stays the same.

The Not Responding stuff, plus this, has me looking for an alternative.

Hi, I've been having a lot of issues with the RSS feed handling on Thunderbird 115 on Fedora 39. It's been very unreliable with my collection of RSS feeds assembled in Thunderbird over the past ~15+ years. So I've been working on recreating my feeds account and after a few times it's been working more reliably with my 200+ RSS feeds. But I've noticed the behavior of the RSS feeds only updating every 100 minutes or so per the new default.

I did re-import my feeds after changing the account settings default of "Check for every new messages" to say every 10 minutes rather than every 100 minutes, but it didn't affect existing feeds or new feeds added after that point.

As a longtime Thunderbird fan it's been quite frustrating especially with long relying on the RSS feeds. Is there anyway to force-override how often all RSS feeds are updated? Or any guidance to where those individual settings are stored so I can find/replace the values all much more quickly than updating on a per-feed basis?

Thanks many, Michael

115.4.2 macOS 13.6.1 Using Menu>Edit>Find>Search Messages, it appears to be impossible to change the width of one result column without changing the width of all columns.

I want to widen the Date column so that I can see the full month name, the date, and the year. I click on the bar at the right of the Date field header and drag it to the right. All columns to the left are widened. The Date column barely widens. I click the side of the window and widen it. All columns widen (not a problem). Date widens a bit. I try to widen it using the bar at the right of the field. Same trouble. I widen the window to full width of the screen. Same trouble. The names of months with shorter names show in full, but not, for example, 'November'. Still can't see date on some; can't see year or time on any. I move the window to the left so all columns are off the screen except Date, Total, and Location. I widen Data. Correspondents appears on the screen (I guess that all columns are being widened). I widen the window all the way to the right of the screen. Now Recipient and Correspondents show, very wide, mostly blank (when there is only one name); there is a very wide column to the left, all blank, the column name invisible off the screen to the left. I can now see most Data data, but, for example, 'November 11, 2023, at 10:2'. I push the window further to the left off the screen. I now see Correspondents (mostly blank to the right of a single name (the one I searched for), Date, Total, and Location; I see the date and time in full. I can't see any column to the left of Correspondents; in particular, can't see Subject. I move the window all the way to the right edge of the screen again. Now I can see the "blank column," Recipient, and Correspondents (mostly blank space), Date with all dates and times showing in full, Total always blank), and Location (short mailbox names, so all show in full.

Why was this design chosen by the project? What was wrong with the ability to change the width of any column without affecting the others? Why was the decision made to not have a scroll bar on the bottom?

Thanks in advance for responses from the team.

Cordially, Joaquin

There is not scroll bar at the bottom, so I can move the data in the window back and forth.

Hi, My Firefox of recent is extremely slow or sometimes fails to load a page. I thought it could be some extensions I added about protection from tracking etc...I tried disabling them, but not sure if I succeeded. But the problem still isn't fixed. I don't think I will figure the issue out. Thanks

Hey!

When you're going to fix the Ctrl + C issue?!

I'm sick and tired of restarting your f*g browser each time I need to paste something in a form on a page. It's frozen each time I press Ctrl+C somewhere outside your browser and return to it. I am forced to close it and restart it! It's been a year since this bug or even more.

Thank you

Hello, Thunderbird user daily for years. Lately every time I open Thunderbird it starts downloading a random number of emails, usually in the thousands. this makes the app extremely slow and laggy until it finishes. I use it daily, on avg getting 20-30 emails. I don't understand why its downloading emails form months to years ago.
