I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I apologize in advance for the language, I'm writing from a translator. Thunderbird on several accounts, every few days requires a password ... "login to the server failed, enter a new password". Just in case, I changed the passwords on these accounts (with the option to remember), a few days of peace and again the problem. However, logging in with the old passwords before and the new ones now on the server is no problem at all.

I reinstalled TB but unfortunately it doesn't help. The same on the stationary and laptop, what could be the problem? Currently, email is available only on the server, I do not have access to Thunderbird.

Hello, I did just make a clean reinstallation of Thunderbird and while going through the setting I have notices that at Passwords / Save Passwords / `Show Passwords` my Account Passwords can be access with less effort.

My question now is, why is this even a feature?

In my mind, this should be by default off. Or at least informed me at the first account setup that my passwords are visible in the Settings, and if I want to set up a Master Password as well.

Is there an option to have the Button `Show Password` disable? Or if a Master Password have to be, then set it for only access `Show Password` but not for the login in to Thunderbird.

I have recently installed 140.7.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11

1. It keeps asking for my account password, I always check the box for saving to the password manager, with no effect, I still have to type it in every single time. (I did set up pwd manager and I do have a master pwd)

2. Initially I had Thunderbird pick up my Gmail account as well, but it stopped picking up my Gmail for some reason. So I completely deleted my Gmail account in Thunderbird. yet it persistently asks for access to Gmail every 15 minutes. (I get a notification from Gmail saying that Tbird is asking for access to Gmail). The Gmail account no longer exists in Tbird, does not show up in the menu, and it does not download anything from Gmail if I give it permissions.

Having TB 128.5.2esr (64-bit) suddenly start to occasionally complain about timing out when connecting to an outlook.office365.com account that usually works OK I had a look at the saved passwords to see if it was using the wrong one (thinking there could be problems with all the places my PC seems to save passwords - Google, Bitwarden, TB etc).

I found the same account not only had two identical entries with passwords that were last changed over a year ago but a third password that said it was changed on 29th Dec 24 which consisted of a long random string of character instead of the proper password that I set for that account. I haven't manually changed the password for a while now, nor have I been challenged to enter a password when getting messages (before or after 29th)

All my other accounts show the proper password in plain text, it also showed the password for this account that was changed a year ago in plain text - twice.

Question 1 Why does it show the password as being changed on 29th Dec when I haven't changed it, nor entered one on demand?

Question 2 Why has the password been set to what seems to be a 444 character Outlook cookie instead of the real password?

Additional info Going back to the password setting page of TB while I'm writing this post yet another password for this account has appeared. That also is set to what appears to be another Outlook cookie (different from the first one), with a date changed date of today!

I edited the password to the proper one in TB , shut TB down, reopened it and got my new messages (without a timeout this time) but my saved password is once again set to an Outlook cookie.

TB settings are Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Server Name: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAuth2

latest version of firefox will not let me save a password on a new website, it has always worked before, see image for settings. website is not included in exceptions

Hello,

I recently reinstalled Windows on my computer and expected Firefox to sync and restore my saved passwords, as I had enabled Firefox Sync before reinstalling. However, after syncing my account, my passwords did not appear, and I am unable to access them.

I have already tried the following steps:

   Checked the sync status of my Firefox account.
   Ensured that I am signed into the correct Firefox account on my browser.
   Searched for any relevant troubleshooting steps but haven't been able to resolve the issue.

Could you please assist me in restoring my saved passwords or provide any guidance on how I can retrieve them?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, Tameem

Hallo!

Leider weigert sich Thunderbird meine Passwortpräferenzen zu speichern.

Ich muss nun bei jedem Start mein Passwort eingeben. Ich habe bei jeder Eingabe auch das Kästchen angeklickt, dass Thunderbird doch bitte mein Passwort mit dem integrierten Passwortmanager speichern soll. Nachdem ich es eingegeben habe und erfolgreich eingeloggt bin, sehe ich, dass Thunderbird es aber nicht abspeichert, denn unter "Datenschutz und Sicherheit" -> "Passwörter" wird kein gespeichertes Passwort angezeigt.

Ich verwende die aktuellste Version (habe ich bei "Über Thunderbird" kontrolliert). Ich verwende kein CCleaner. Mein OS ist Windows 10. Mein Posteingang funktioniert normal und ich kann meine E-Mails sehen und neue versenden.

Wie kann ich das Problem bitte beheben?

Hi,

I am trying to connect my account to RedTail so I can send a broadcast email through RedTail. When I try to put in my email password, it will not save. I have confirmed the email, tried copying and pasting, typed the email and I can't figure out what else to do. RedTail is saying it's because it doesn't recognize the password and that I need to reach out to Thunderbird. Please help.

Thank you

Good Day

First ... -> Wayne Mery don't delete this post. This is not duplicate. If You want delete ... delete solved post. Thanks for making me type everything out again Wayne - you've been very helpful.

Back to the topic.

MT new installation - does not remember passwords despite checking the "checkbox" in the IMAP account. This also applies to Google accounts for calendar (non-IMAP account). The password manager is empty. After restarting MT, the same.

Mozilla Thunderbird has been working fine for 2 months, now keeps asking for passwords already saved in the manager.

Nothing changed in the settings relating to emails being sent and passwords.

All of the passwords are correct, and will work when re-entered, but everytime we go to send an email we need to re-enter a password that is already present in the password manager.

Ive tried deleting the database files as suggested in help from the past, but its still happening after rebuild.

Ive tried unistalling the program using the windows 10 add and remove programs, but the Thunderbird Setup 128.7.1esr does not delete all user information, so after i reinstall it just shows all of our email accounts, and is still asking for passwords...

I have the Mozilla Thunderbird installed in O:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird and not C:\, but the unistaller seems to have a problem removing everything, even after a restart.

Basic feedback... when a user wants to delete your program... just delete everything or ask them if they want to save there profiles.... bloody annoying, and i now can not resolve an issue that possibly needs a fresh Thurnderbird install.

This is a work PC, so i need to resolve this issue fast... or im leaving Thunderbird in my rear mirror like road kill.

I'm using Thunderbird on Windows 11 with my Outlook email account. I can receive email, but when I try to send an email, it tells me the password is wrong.

[moderator note, the following is unrelated] When I check the password in the Privacy and Security settings, Thunderbird has changed the password to a long string of letters, numbers, and symbols. I enter the correct password, but it keeps changing back to the incorrect password. I have tried deleting and re-adding the account. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. Same result.

I changed a pop email password (on Earthlink) for one of my accounts, but I couldn't locate where I change it in Thunderbird. I've searched account settings, but I don't see it there.

I WAS able to change the password when I got a popup the second time I tried to send it, which let me change the password .... and it mentioned Password Manager. But "Password Manager" does not come up in Settings when I type it in the Search box.

how to export complete passwords? I tried screen clipping but complete secure passwords don't display.

I need to this in case of another computer crash. It was a nightmare resetting all of my passwords. If I had copy of them it would be much easier re entering them.

here is example of what I seeing with password screen fully widen. See attached image

Hello,

Earlier today I reformatted my device but when I logged in to firefox I can only see my history is getting synced my bookmarks are empty, I've checked and bookmarks are check off and they should be synced. How do I get them to sync? It has worked fine in the past. Thanks.

This happens each time I open up T-Bird. Somtimes it is Yahoo.mail, sometimes it prompts to log onto aol.mail.com.

How can this be stopped?

I use Firefox as my browser (have since it was first release many many years and computers ago). I'm not if this is an issue with other browsers.

I can print most pages on Amazon, but some special pages I can't print. Example, I initiated a Return and when it got to the confirmation page I can not print it to have a hard copy on hand. It will show two blank pages in print preview except for text header and footer (which are checked in options), but nothing else. It will not print anything except blank pages with the headers and footers. Cleared print settings in about:support, tried printing with system dialog, tried printing it to a PDF and even tried a couple FF addons with no luck.

Certain pages on Amazon seem to inject something to prevent printing. I remember running across something similar a while back on another site and gave up. I eventually just screenshot the Amazon return confirmation page and gave up.

How do I get around this and make the page print? Is there some way to force Firefox to print what it's showing me on the page? Is my only option to screenshot it and then print the image?
