Dear Support,

Since ages ago I've always logged into Firefox and turned on sync so whichever device I was on (or if I have formatted my PC) I would still have acces to my browser history, tabs etc. Today I've formatted my PC to switch from win 10 to win 11 and logged into firefox as usual, but after trying to Sync nothing happens. My tabs, my history, everything is empty for some reason and I cannot find my original device (the one from a few hours ago connected in win 10) in my connected devices list either.

Please help me, my whole life is in that sync :(

Best Regards, Peter

Since we needed to upgrade 2 PCs to Windows 11 (1x Pro & 1x Home) nothing works anymore with Thunderbird. It has MASSIVE and unsolvable problems to connect to our Gmail account via OAuth, Not only will it ask every single time again and over again to allow the connection, but moreover even after granting access it still can NOT send (SMTP) or save or even receive (IMAP) emails. It is maga frustrating and I am currently after days and days spend to unsuccessful fix the problem are at the point to looks for a more reliable alternative (if there is any). Just as background: Our Gmail account is about 14GB big, the local Thunderbird folder around 100GB; so yes it's big, but that's another problem, there are no easy or straightforward off-line archivers any longer to effectively and still easy accessible reduce the local archive.

This image is one of a series of similar messages I get. Incredibly, this has even after a 2-step verification is competed.

I have no problem with Yahoo in Chrome. No problem with the Yahoo email mobile app.

I am not a Chrome fan, but It is not unusual for me to have to use Chrome to avoid random website behavior issues with Firefox.

My name is Nichael and I'd appreciate assistance. I changed computers yesterday and then downloaded Firefox.

Which setting(s) will change locations of the bookmarks to what I prefer?

Hi. I've downloaded dictionaries and languages, the check spelling option is enabled in the browser settings. However, browser doesn't want to do it automatically. I have to manually enable it with RMB context menu (and re-select languages) for each website individually. Moreover, when the page refreshes, spell checking turning itself off again in RMB menu (but stays enabled in browser options).

  Is this really how it's supposed to work?

I've (finally!) managed to set up a new account on my new PC (having found the required password, a long string of letters - where did that come from? - I would certainly never have chosen that and I was never informed of it). I also successfully managed to transfer my Profile from the old PC to the new one (thanks to your helpful article. However, While I have thousands of 'sent' messages I only have a few in my inbox and sub-folders (i.e. today's). (I originally used the recommended server settings (?IMAP) I was offered but then changed to SMTP/POP which is what I always used before without problems.) So - I go to 'Import from a Thunderbird profile' and it shows me the Profile Name and Directory details, but then says 'Nothing can be imported from the selected source' - but doesn't tell me why not, nor what I should do about it! Given the Profile has transferred successfully, why can't it be accessed? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, David Collins.

How to modify userContent.css or UserChrome.css to alter background color except for images, link text

I have TB setup to allow customstylesheets with userChrome and userContent.css files generated. I have userChrome setup to my liking. Now I want to modify the userContent.css file so that I can set the background color of almost all elements is #222226 except for email text, hyperlinks, and imbedded images. I have this setup now in userContent.css:

body { background-color: #222226 !important; }

{ color: white !important; /* Changes font color to white for all content */ }

This changes most elements the way I want but it also flips the color of other HTML content, embedded images for signatures and other html content so its inverted to unreadable white content with white text. Is there a way to set it up so that HTML content and images are not inverted?

TB version 140 Debian Edition on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3

I haven't updated Thunderbird since version 52.9.1 because of the interfaces which are painful for me and I don't see much. it still works well but does not support encrypted emails. I would like to install a recent version of TB but how can I make it look like the older, much more configurable versions? Please tell me if this is even possible.

No other browser or software is behaving as Firefox regarding playing a tone if I select a menu pull down or Right click on a tab etc.

The answers regarding Sounds from the internet do not correct this as I've already disabled Windows tones. This is specfic to Firefox only. I've tried shutting off extensions and restarting the browser in safe mode or troubleshoot mode. The browser still plays tones with mouse clicks. If I silence Mozilla with my windows area then I can't listen to video audio such as youtube. Toggling audio off and on is annyoing and was never necessary before. This is must be a software issue within the browser.

Why the tones have suddenly begun when they never have before is a mystery. I don't get tones anywhere else.

I can't believe Firefox doesn't have a simple toggle within it's own software. It needs one now.
