recently, e-mails have been hanging. I have determined that it is, for the most part at least, USPS mail tracking e-mails that hang. Once I delete or move to archive, things download fine.

This is not the daily Informed Delivery e-mail.

This is like "your package (tracking number nnnnn) has arrived at the distribution center. Expected delivery mm/dd/yyyy.

I have restarted, repaired in box, etc.

Any help?

Hi. I have over 20,000 messages in my Inbox. I've been sometimes having trouble moving messages into folders, so I thought it would be a good idea to reduce the number of messages in my Inbox. But I can't delete or move messages in the Inbox. When I select messages and enter command to move them to a folder, or ask to delete them, nothing happens. I am a Thunderbird supporter, and I love this program. Thanks for your work! Any advice appreciated. Connie

Here's the error message:

The folder "Inbox on tomhelm@sonic.net" could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I think I have enough disk space. But how do I verify that I have write privileges to the file system?

I have the following very frustrating symptoms:

1) Thunderbird will frequently decide that it does not have the headers for a particular folder, and will reload them. This is in spite of the fact that I had all the headers the last time that I used the program, and I have not restarted Thunderbird or the computer (although I may have put it to sleep). In one specific case, I clicked on my Inbox, and TB started a "compact" operation, and then it started to download *all* of the headers. Eventually it produced an error message for the compaction: " The folder ‘Inbox on williamatwood41@gmail.com’ could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

2) Thunderbird will often state that a summary file cannot be opened: "Unable to open the summary file for Drafts on william.atwood@concordia.ca. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long." I have seen this for the Drafts folder, for the Inbox folder, for the Sent folder, and for arbitrary folders that I had previously opened successfully.

3) One day, I clicked on a folder that contained 6116 messages. I saw it download all of the headers. Then the right panel declared "No message found."

The next day, I clicked on the same folder. While downloading the headers, TB listed the low-numbered messages on the right side (upper panel), and then switched to the most recent message once all the headers had been downloaded. So, the behavior changed from one day to the next.

All of this seems to have started when I placed a restriction on the length of time that messages are synchronized. This was done because I was running out of disk space on my 250 GB disk. I subsequently replaced this disk with a 500 GB disk, but have not (yet) relaxed the constraint, because I wanted to get to the bottom of the problem.

My best guess is that setting the disk space limit has triggered some misuse of a pointer, which is resulting in the garbage-in, garbage-out syndrome. However, I could be way off.

I would be very happy to work with anyone on the TB team, and invoke whatever debugging tools are necessary (under direction) to find the root cause of this error.

Whenever I start my PC, the first time I click on the Thunderbird icon at the bottom of my screen (is that still called the taskbar?) I have to click on it a 2nd time to get it to open. After that I only have to click on it once. Does anyone know I can get it so I only have to click on it once the first time as well as understand what may be causing this problem?

Hallo, seit dem letzte Update laden viele Websites unheimlich lange oder werden abgebrochen. Sogar "https://auth.mozilla.auth0.com/login" ist betroffen. Diese Probleme sind wirklich neu, vorher lief alles reibungslos. Ich habe garantiert keine verbotenen Seiten oder Programme aufgerufen/installiert. Meine Browserdaten sind auf ein absolutes Minimum reduziert (17 Cookies/Websitedaten), die Chronik wird täglich gelöscht. Kann ich die aktuelle Version entfernen bzw. gegen eine ältere ersetzen?

My Thunderbird connected to my gmail is running slow. Thunderbird is not running slow on my other (non-gmail) account. It takes 10-15 seconds for an e-mail (from gmail) to be deleted or moved within Thunderbird. I have tried "compacting folders" and "repairing folders" and that does not help. Please help!

Mozilla Firefox is always crash. Always rectify after create the new profile. Hang also occur. Firefox is not responding. Old Firefox is running in background. Give me the permanent Solution.

On my Windows 11 PC, when I open my Thunderbird Address Book and click on any entry, or right-click and select any option, a solid grey veneer overlays the Address Book window, and nothing else happens: The feature hangs. I can close the window and continue to use Thunderbird, but all I can do in the Address Book is scroll through the names and email addresses. When this first happened, I updated Thunderbird to release 159.0 (64-bit), but the same thing happens in that version. I've done web and forum searches and have not seen any other reports of this. Any ideas as to why this is happening to me, or how I might fix it? (I've attached a redacted screen image showing what I see.)

Hey,

I have this visual bug on Firefox where spaces on my screen get blurred, flicker or are just another color than they're supposed to be. This happens on every website and even on the menu bar or when I hover over bookmarks. It's hard to describe, so I attached some screenshots.

I've already tried: Restarting the laptop, restarting Firefox, opened Firefox as admin, cleaned Firefox and went to "about:support" and gone into the troubleshooting mode. When I'm in troubleshooting mode, the bug disappears but as soon as I restart Firefox, it's there again.

Sometimes the bug changes when I scroll or move my cursor, as you can see on the two screenshots from Twitter (X). Sometimes it's barely noticable, like on the PDF website and sometimes I can't even read text fields as in the chess.com screenshot...

I am using YouTube. One singular tab of YouTube takes up 4 GB of ram. Two tabs take 8 GB. Having more than two tabs quite literally provides me 20 GB of memory usage. This is preposterous.

The fixes I have tried is

- Disabling all extensions; this does not help in the slightest. - Refreshing the startup cache - helped first 10 minutes went from 400mb to later 5 gb (one tab) - Refreshing the Firefox cache - helped also first 10 min, and then memory leakage came back. - Disabled YouTube Ambience - did not help.

I have a top-end gaming computer, this should not be an issue.

I am not sure what to do from here on out, please advice

This happened once before - then cleared after the next update. Now, after a recent update, the browser display is unstable again. Not a problem with any other browser - so it's NOT the computer. Any suggestions ?

Thanx, Dennis

I have noticed that Thunderbird has been very slow and glitchy very recently.

Some messages take ages to load. Sometimes the whole program hangs and becomes unresponsive.

• Firefox frequently crashes for no apparent reason. Even when I don’t open any websites and just leave it idle, it crashes on its own after 4–5 minutes.

The crashes happen on all websites, not just specific ones.

• When I reopen Firefox after a crash, sync is completely unresponsive and shows “Paused.” It takes another 30 seconds to a minute before it starts working normally again.

• Every time I open Settings, Firefox becomes incredibly laggy—like a game running at 20 FPS—to the point where it’s barely usable.

• I’ve tried clearing the browsing data, but nothing has changed. Do I really have to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it?

• I’ve temporarily switched to Brave over the past few days. Firefox’s testing team has done a really poor job this time.

P.S. I’m using iOS 18 on an iPhone 11.

When searching for "woolworth sarina". the browser does crash. Same thing happened yesterday when serching for "corona specials mackay"

What is the issue? This never happened before. I reinstalled Firefox Focus and did get the same result.

Thunderbird has become extreme slow. Like it's doing task in the background. Takes emails longer to display and mouse becomes jerky. All other programs OK Especially noticeable after leaving TB running for a while. The previous versions were snappy. This version is very noticeably slower.

My Thunderbird (158 Meadow) is very slow sending emails. Up to 30 seconds for an ordinary message. Most often thew people are in my address book but even if they are no the problem is common across all outgoing emails. Windows 11 Laptop 26H2, 64Gb Ram, 500Gb SSD, 200GB free, i7 (12 Edition) Intel I have already checked that my Windows Defender antivirus has the profile folder as an "exception" Compressed my "send" folder Run "repair" on my send folder I have about 500 emails in my send folder I have an IMAP set up with SMTP set to 465 SSL/TLS Normal password I have checked my webmail and that works fine so it is not a problem with hosting etc.
