Good morning I have updated Thunderbird to the lastest version 115.6.0 (64-bit) on my Mac with Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261) and now I can not see my mailboxes and folders. Have tried everything - nothing works. Rest bookmarks work. Contacts and other functions. I can create and send letters from any of my mailboxes, I can search letters in all mailboxes in search field, but I can not see on the left bookmark nothing - empty list of mailboxes. I have download the program again, reinstalled, changed Thunderbird file in Programms - same thing. Please help.

Yesterday Firefox started closing at random, sometimes instantly as soon as I open it. The crash dialog doesn't open, and if I go to about:crashes my most recent unreported crash is from 2019. Tried refreshing, reinstalling, completely wiping all profiles and starting fresh. If I use troubleshooting mode it won't open properly at all. I am at a bit of a loss, any ideas?

Firefox has been crashing constantly for a few days now. Every time I start the program, it starts using more and more GB of RAM until it crashes at over 100 GB. I have already deleted and reinstalled the program and cannot explain why it is using so much memory. Can anyone help me?

For some reason, whenever I have multiple tabs open in Thunderbird, it will seemingly randomly open a new window, interrupting whatever I'm doing. What seems to happen is that the new window will contain the tab I was working with (address book, settings, etc.) and a tab for my mail, but that mail tab will have switched to a different mailbox. And then the new window that opened behind the other one will have a tab for my mail focusing on whichever mailbox was selected before.

This is driving me absolutely crazy! It keeps interrupting what I'm doing and makes me anxious to do anything in any tabs in Thunderbird. I need to fix it!

Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?

My TB repeatedly downloading all the emails in my Inbox, it is slowing down TB and can't access and reply to current email due to it. Is there any solution to it without losing my data?

Whenever firefox has multiple tabs open and on any single tab youtube is running i find youtube to crash lag and even crack itself by audio playing with struck video. FYI the same issue is not experienced in other browsers like brave for instance . I hope you provide attention to this problem and solve this issue as soon as possible and as I mostly use firefox to browse and use its dev tools.

On all sites where I need to login with my work account I get a tab crash when the browser redirects to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ac4b0eb0-811e-4ab0-acca-8a87079290dc/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=id_token&scope=user.read......

This is a recent failure (this week), that occured without any changes on my own account to Firefox developer version 121.0b2(64-bits)

I had to install google chrome to overcome this problem. Chrome has no issues with microsoft authentication.

Please solve as soon as possible, otherwise I will be switching to another browser.

I have 4 different gmail accounts that I use thunderbird to manage, along with local folders. Starting today, I cannot send messages. I get a dialog box with no error codes, underneath is another dialog box showing send progress with the eternal circle. Have rebooted, made sure each account has a unique SMTP server description. Worked fine until today. No updates that I know of.

Hello

Just to report Firefox 121.0.1 (64-bit) unable to upload any video formats on youtube and always having invalid video format error. I'm unable to upload even that videos what was already successfully uploaded some times ago. I using Microsoft Edge now to upload on youtube and it is fine with all my videos. Hope you can fix soon.

115.8.0esr (64-bit)

This newest release has a massive memory leak. I know it's Firefox, because I look at the system monitor, and there are even more entries for firefox.com running than usual. The first one on the top of the list is the biggest resource hog, and the next one is second. All the rest have something going on, but smaller. Looking at performance in the Windows Task Manager, under performance, the memory usage goes up. Right now, it's 5.35Gb of 16Gb. At worst, several days ago, it was at 12Gb. When I force close Firefox, the memory and usage goes way, way down, to a usable level.

I wrote last night. "Ed" someone got back to me, didn't quote my message, and said he was from another department. I DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS LAST NIGHT. I hit the blue button, which took me here, and he advised me to do today, which brought me here, AGAIN.

If this, again, goes to "restoring access to Mozilla accounts and subscription services such as Mozilla VPN", please be professional and forward it to the right department, possibly with my message quoted, as this is the second time I'm creating it, and only have my memory on which to fall back for the first time. The logical topic is "Fix slowness, crashing, error messages, and other problems".

At the same time, other releases have had big memory leaks, and they seem to get patched quickly.

Thank you again.

Firefox runs fine most of the time. If I right-click to download an image, or click a link to download a PDF or other file, or Save HTML, I see the "Save file" dialog, click Save and then Firefox freezes up for a while, maybe a minute or two. Pages won't scroll. I can't switch tabs. I can bring up a different firefox window and it redraws its contents, but I can't scroll or do anything else.

This didn't happen a month ago, then one day after a system upgrade, it happens every time. I'm using FF 123.0.1 on Arch Linux. 64GB RAM, so it's not a memory shortage. I have upgraded one or two times more since the upgrade when this appeared. Chromium is not affected, Thunderbird is fine, and all other software continues to be fine as before, including when saving files. Only FF has this problem.

What is the problem and solution? Are there ways to gather more info to diagnose the problem, if needed?

I am using Thunderbird v 115.5.1 on a Windows 10 system. I am using an "@hotmail.com" email address. I seem to be able to receive emails just fine, but face an issue sending out emails. When I press "send", it gets stuck on "sending message" for quite a while, then I see the error message:

=

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com timed out. Try again.

=

My SMTP settings: Server Name: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication Method: OAuth2

Appreciate any help! :)

I'm just getting started with Thunderbird on Windows 10. To test it, I set up my yahoo IMAP account xxxxx777@yahoo.com using a yahoo app password. It worked fine, so I deleted that account and set up my 'real' yahoo IMAP account, which is xxxxx@yahoo.com, using another app password from Yahoo. This is a different yahoo account, so I needed to get another app password. Again, that account worked fine.

However I then chose to delete that account on Thunderbird and return to using my xxxxx777@yahoo.com yahoo IMAP account, by getting a new app password and following the Thunderbird instructions for setting up an account. The trouble is that Thunderbird is now connecting to my xxxxx@yahoo IMAP server and receiving those emails and folders instead of my xxxxx777@yahoo.com emails and folders. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird and rebooted the computer. Thunderbird 'account settings' is correct.

The first tab in Thunderbird is "email- xxxxx777@yahoo.com", and the folders that follow are from my xxxxx@yahoo.com account. Each time I receive an email on my xxxxx@yahoo.com account, it shows up in Thunderbird under my xxxxx777@yahoo.com account.

I'm stumped.

Thanks, David

I have to manage a number of joint email addresses which are outlook.com addresses, so I have them all installed on Thunderbird.

Up until recently, it worked fine, although every few months Outlook.com would not allow the sync because of some security issue (wanting an alternative email address, wanting an alternative phone number, wanting me to confirm that the last sync was me). I would sign in to the email account on a browser, fix the issue, and then it would work again.

As of a few days ago, Thunderbird is showing the "Login to account XXX failed" and "Login to server outlook.office365.com with username XXX failed" for maybe a dozen of the addresses every time I open Thunderbird. If I login to the email on a browser, and force Thunderbird to "Retry" several times, it will sync the account - but the next day, the same issue arises with the same account. When I check the account activity, it shows successful automatic syncs.

Is there another setting I need to check or change to make Thunderbird work with Outlook.com addresses?

Since the dawn of time, the Compact folder command on the folder context menu has compacted just the selected folder. However, I have noticed that in the latest Thunderbird version (I'm using 115.6.1) the Compact folder starts automatically compacting all subfolders under the current one. This is a big problem for me: under the inbox, which I need to compact fairly often because all messages pass through it, I have literally hundreds of subfolders, some of them dating from more than 20 years ago, when I used Netscape Communicator. Those folders are "read only" (I only have them for reference), and I do not want to modify them in any way, to avoid risking their contents. Thus, I DO NEED for Thunderbird to stop compacting subfolders automatically. Is it possible? How can it be done?

Also, after a folder compacting has started, what's the best way of cancelling it, short of closing Thunderbird? I understand that the compaction process is quite safe, as it copies all data to a fresh file, but would rather not risk data loss.

After the last couple of Thunderbird updates, I have been experiencing a really frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve.

Only when I receive emails from one specific recipient and I go to reply to them, the font size is suddenly really large, and the spacing between new lines is huge.

Even if I set the font options to the same as if I was replying to a different recipient or creating a new message, it still appears really large.

What's worse is even if I make all these adjustments and get the font size and formatting looking okay, the actual sent message is even more out of whack and has all these spacing problems.

Does anyone know what might be going on? No other mail client I use experiences this issue whatsoever, and this issue is only occuring with this recipient.

greetings to the forum. TB 115.7.0 (64 bit) on windows 10, 32 GB RAM, intel i7-6700 CPU@3.40GHz I signed up for an account on the newsserver astraweb.com which has a very high message retention, around 21 years in the groups I subscribed to!!! in two groups I subscribed to, it downloaded 1410000 and 3031000 headers (no messages)... since after this massive download it was slow and unresponsive often, I repaired the folders of those groups and deleted the startup cache... in response the TB re-downloaded everything again, remained not responding for about 20 minutes and during this process used over 20 GB of RAM memory (see attached image). now it's using about 8.5 GB RAM, but every time I click on one group or another of astraweb it freezes with a "not responding" message until some mysterious task finishes... I could try to limit the number of headers downloaded in the account settings but I will only do it if I have to... If I don't find some solution, this way TB is almost unusable...

before posting on bugzilla and before deleting the older headers, do you think there is anything else I can do to avoid freezing TB on that server?
