Hi there,

I've used (and liked using) Thunderbird as my email platform for more than a decade now. This morning I found out that my primary (GoDaddy supported) email account is no longer compatible with POP or IMAP settings. I've been trying to make the necessary settings changes with help from GoDaddy tech support, but they can't ensure that my contacts, emails, etc. will be saved in the process. Can you please explain how I can export/back up everything in my Thunderbird account before I make changes to the account?

Thanks,

I have recently installed Thunderbird version 102.12.0 as my email server. I created a "Default Identity" and put in my first and last name in the "Your Name" section. When I send emails, however, the recipient only sees my first name and email address in the "From" line. I would like them to see my first and last name and not to see the email address in the "From" line.

I just cant find my messages anymore. cant get sorted by date, or sorted by correspondent. chaos. and this is not the first issue I have with thunderbird (linux). Right now it seems to me it is unworkable.

Been working with TB windows for many years. works fine. It too had some flaws at times but at least it works. the linux version as I see it at this point seems to have major flaws. Yes, if your emails are nowhere to be found, that is a major flaw.

Perhaps the Mozilla guys have a solution but it should be intuitive right from the start. It's the essence of using an email client.

I might change my mind about TB-Lin if someone could show me how it's done, and if there is some logic to the way it works.

Again TB Win: great. TB Lin: all thumbs down at this point. Please prove me wrong.

John.

Hello,

Am using Mozilla Firefox installed via flatpak on openSUSE. Certain pdfs display correctly but other pdfs displayed with Firefox (either locally or online) are displayed badly: spaces are replaced with a lower half block character, fonts not sharp. I installed Firefox from the openSUSE repos (not from flathub) and opened the same pdf and it displayed correctly. I downloaded the pdf and opened it using Okular and no problems. I also opened the “troublesome” pdfs on Firefox in Windows and it displays correctly. I conclude that the flatpak version of Firefox is causing some pdfs to display incorrectly but I don’t know why.

I installed flatseal to tweak the flatpak Firefox’s settings but nothing seemed to fix the pdf display issue. Please see screenshot below of how Firefox (from openSUSE repos, on the left hand side) and Firefox (from flathub, on the right hand side) display the same pdf from the internet. The online pdf in the screenshot and used as an example of the issue can be found at:

Not sure why some pdfs display correctly in Firefox from flathub and others display incorrectly. I’d prefer to use flatpak’s sandboxed Firefox if possible. Is there anyone else with the same problem or someone who who found a solution to this issue?

Thanks

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Description

The installed version of Firefox is affected by various security issues, some of which could lead to execution of arbitrary code on the affected host subject to the user's privileges.

Solution Upgrade to Mozilla 1.7.1 / Firefox 0.9.2 or later Upgrade to Mozilla 1.7.3 or later. Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.9 / 2.0.0.1 or later. Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.11 / 2.0.0.3 or later Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.10 / 2.0.0.2 or later Upgrade to Firefox 1.5.0.12 / 2.0.0.4 or later

Where are the patches/updates for this vulnerability located on the Mozilla homepage?

All stories on Fox news and Yahoo do not show comments on the end of the stories. If I use MS edge the comment sections are there on all stories. I am using the latest mozilla program and am running windows 10.

Using TB version 102.10.1. Been recently getting messages from three different senders that I wish to delete before they hit my inbox. I read the help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/blocking-sender and followed the directions to set up a Block List filter, adding the senders to it. It seems to work automatically for two of the senders but not the other...I have to manually run the filter to make it work. Seems kinda pointless when, if it hits my inbox, I can just delete it anyway. Any ideas why it is still getting through the filter and how to fix it? See screenshots attached.

On the landing page for youtube, I used to be able to right mouse click on a video thumbnail and select "open image in a new tab" from the context menu and see the thumbnail in a new tab window.

After recent updates, (now using 111.0.1 64bit , on windows 10 pro), this feature no longer exists. It's not a change on youtube because the thumbnail is still recognized as an image and can be opened in a new tab when I use Edge browser. It seems like Firefox no longer recognizes the thumbnail as an image.

Is there any setting I can change to get the feature of "open image in new tab" back into the context menu. or somehow get Firefox to recognize the thumbnail as an image ?

My old juno account is defunct. I want to keep my account using gmail address. I tried but Mozilla sends a code to my defunct juno account. Will I need to open a new account? Please send help to [email removed from public]

I can send but not receive emails on my desktop (W10, McAfee, TB 102.11.2). On my other devices I can both send and receive emails using different email clients. TB displays the following message "Downloading message 1 of 52" and then after some time the message disappears and no messages are downloaded. Is their a simple fix for this issue?

Thunderbird error message reads "Login to server mail.btinternet.com with username my.name@btinternet.com failed." After several prompts to Retry/Enter New Password/Cancel, I eventually receive another message "Server mail.btinternet.com has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem." Neither of these are true: I can access the server via webmail (using Firefox) with or without VPN, and my gmail and ionos email accounts are working so it isn't a network problem. I see that the problem has arisen for others, but the responses have all been archived. Any suggestions?

Microsoft Edge Geolocation Issue

Since the release of Microsoft Edge versions 114.0.1823.37 and 114.0.1823.41, there have been numerous reported cases of geolocation issues resulting in players being unable to log in to Playnow.com. We recommend using an older version of Microsoft Edge (113.0.1774.57) or using another browser such as Chrome .

When watching something on Youtube and I click on the coloured download icon, I get to be able to click on the title of the video. A blue 1 appears in the download icon. When I click again, then click on the blue 1 to watch the download. Nothing happens. The window just sits there and states 'downloading', but it does not happen. This happened last year and you managed to fix it; now Youtube seem to have blocked downloading again. Geoffrey D Dean, Australia.

Hi, I need to recover some Thunderbird emails. My Windows 10 crashed. I overwrote the drive with the new installation. Unfortunately, I had only backed up my Documents folder. Can you help me recover my emails? Thanks

I have two gmail accounts, both working perfectly for years. Lets call them A1 and A2. last week A1 all of a sudden stopped working. Google asked me password and second pass verification. But when trying to connect to google again a message "authentication error" arrived.

I then disinstalled TB and downloaded it anew. A2 started working immediately, but when trying to redefine A1 the above message "Unable to login..." appeared. I then tried to define A1 on the TB of the laptop of my girlfriend. There it started working without any problems. Both PC's have the same TB version and are working under Windows 10 with the same version. Seems to me very strange.

Any ideas?
