I have Thunderbird v 115.9.0 running on two PCs (one with Windows 10 the other with Windows 11). On both computers I can no longer open attachments that I attach to emails I'm creating, like I used to. So for instance, if I'm sending someone a PDF or JPG file, and I attache it and want to open the file and double check it before sending, I can't do that. Doesn't work if I right click on it and say "open" or if I double click on it. However if I save it to my Drafts folder first, then I can open the attachments. Likewise I can open the attachments from the Sent folder. And I have no problems opening these types of files when someone sends them to me.

I have Acrobat Reader Pro set to open PDFs, and Photoshop set to open JPGs, and I double checked the settings, and have re-enabled those as the default programs in T-bird's Settings/General/Files and Attachment section.

Any advice on how to fix this?

1. I have automatic updates set for Thunderbird. Recently, it updated to 115.9.0. After this update, all but one of my multiple email folders disappeared. I have searched for days trying to find a solution. I added in two of my email folder names and manually entered the incoming and outgoing information. I now open my Thunderbird application today and all the folders are listed, including the 2 duplicates. The 2 duplicates have a different number of messages than the other 2. 2. I can not find where to be able to view the header and the message underneath. I have to click on each message to see if I want to keep it or not; then close; then delete. 2. how can I sort the email folders? This is a nightmare for me as I have more than 10 email folders to manage.

Suddenly I cannot send emails. I can receive emails. I have checked my account settings and they are correct as follows: Charter Communications mail.twc.com port 587 Starttls normal password ggordets@san.rr.com. I contacted Spectrum and we proved that the problem is not them by initiating an outgoing email to myself using webmail. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing Thunderbird. As indicated above my email is ggordets@san.rr.com

Thank you. P.S. My operating system is Windows 10.

Hyperlinks in Thunderbird (115.9.0 64 bit) running on Ubuntu 22.04.4-LTS have quit working overnight. Too my knowledge nothing changed. I have followed all the steps in the document "Hyperlinks in messages not working" with no luck. 1) My default browser was Chrome. Changed to FireFox. No Luck. Changed back no luck. 2) Check that no application is specified for HTTP content can not be followed No Preferences option exists under the menu in my version of Thunderbird. Checked in settings found nothing matching the description. 3) Checked for incorrect preferences. Used config editor. Their is no Reset option for the settings. Found the referenced setting. Switched from True to False and then back again, hoping the might reset it. No Luck 4) Switched to Safe mode from the Help menu. No luck.

New to Linux, just set this system up 2 months ago. Migrated my Windows Thunderbird database without issue and it was working fine until this morning.

In need of suggestions. If uninstalling is going to be required, I need to be able to do it a way that does not lose my historical email records or my cardbook address book of 1000 names.

Thanks

I'm running Firefox 123.0.1 on Linux Mint 21.2. Something changed after my last update. I visit a number of web sites at which I scroll down a window to a link, click on it to open it, read that link, and then return to the previous page. Examples are news sites like slashdot.org, associated press, or arcamax. Firefox used to return to the place in the original site page where I had clicked on a link. Now, it returns to the top of the original site page, and I have to scroll down again to where I had clicked on a link. I can right click on a link, open a new tab, and then close that tab, but that requires multiple clicks, and I used to just click/click. Is there a way to set up Firefox to go back to the previous behavior? Thanks in advance. ;

Hello, I am experiencing serious graphical distortions on some, but not most, websites. When I try the same sites on mobile Chrome, there is no problem. The problem seems likely to be related to Firefox's graphics engine. I shared an image of the error. You can understand the situation from the image.

When I finish typing something either into the search bar, YouTube, YouTube studio, really anywhere, I have a hard time editing it.

The best way for me to explain it is to show you:

Before edit: Firefox is the best browser, hands down.

After editing: Firefox is ntheot best browser, hands down

What I meant to say: Firefox is not the best browser, hands down.

When I went to add the "not", I selected the place right before the "t" for "the" and began typing. All of a sudden it freaked out and did what you see.

This seems to happen no matter if I am in desktop mode or not. Also, this is even worse when trying to type on YouTube studio to edit the title and description.

"All_I_Need_Is_You_exported_0"

This is the default title that I get on a video. See how there are multiple underscores? When I go to delete them by selecting the spot right in front of them and then add a space to keep the gap, it often completely removes the word to the right of where I am adding the space. This doesn't happen as often, but what happens everytime is when I try to add text to the beginning.

For example:

Before editing: "All I need Is You"

After editing: "Lecrae - I need is you"

What I meant to say "Lecrae - All I Need Is You"

It has this issue when I select the beginning. There is no way to not have the problem because there is no empty space between the beginning and in this case "All".

I am running Thunderbird 115 on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon Desktop. I am used to an earlier version found in Mint 20.3, which had a header bar, I will call it, for lack of a better term, that let me sort by name, subject or date. By date, I could sort with ne newest or oldest email at the top. There is no such here on TBird 115.

There is a screenshot attached to this post showing at the top of my inbox.

Now, to answer my own question: Referring to that attached screenshot, there is an arrow pointing to the button, just right of the Quick filter. That button will open a menu that provides display options. Select to sort by, then select Date at the top of the menu and Descending toward the bottom of the menu, fourth up from the bottom, in my case. The Descending option will put the newest email at the top.

Lately Thunderbird is very, very slow to send or receive email from POP3 Gmail. I've noticed the slowdown a while ago, and hoped that a reinstall would fix the issue. But it does not.

I am using a fresh snap install of 115.9.0 on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04, with calendars disabled.

This is what happens:

  • When checking or sending mail, Thunderbird spins up a single CPU core for 130 seconds.
  • The CPU core spins only if Thunderbird is on foreground (not if in background or minimized).
  • I can see on the Network Monitor that until 130 seconds have elapsed no network request are made.
  • After 130 seconds of waiting, some requests to google are made and mail is actually checked in a couple of seconds.

Seems that Thunderbird waits for something that never happens, and actually checks mail only after something times out.

How can I fix this? Do you have any suggestion of what to try?

Regards,

José
