Hello, Thank you for helping me with my email problem today. The issue that I am having is that whenever I try to send email from 2 - of my 3 - email addresses I get the following error messages-

Message from electric@triad.rr.com email.

""electric@triad.rr.com sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth.. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your accound settings and try again.""

message from aristot@triad.rr.com email.

""aristot@triad.rr.com sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth.. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your accound settings and try again.""

I did read and try the various suggestions that this forum made to someonme in reference to a similar problem. The emails did appear to match in settings for SMTP and I think I temporarily turned off my virus protection software. However none of these actions have solved my problem.

If someone would please make some more recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Please help me to understand why I keep getting the 'Gah! Your tab just crashed' message. This only started a couple of weeks ago, but is extremely annoying and makes me doubt the integrity of Firefox. The problem can be circumvented (at least for a while) by closing and re-opening Firefox, but I'd prefer not to have to keep doing this.

Archiving emails to Local Folders is not working for me.

If I click the archive icon or press 'A', a new folder is created as required in my Local Folders/Archives, e.g. [Gmail]/Important. But the original email does not move, no emails are shown in my Local Folders nor do they seem to exist in the folders or files created: [Gmail], [Gmail.sbd], Important (empty) and Important.msf.

I have picked up that I need to set archiving options by identity as well as by account. The problem remains the same whichever IMAP account, which is Gmail and another smaller provider, or identity I use. Before I realised that, archiving did work - in terms of emails being moved to an archive folder within an IMAP account. But I want to download the emails locally to avoid going over provider storage limits. I've checked and Thunderbird can otherwise create new messages in Local Folders, e.g. when my network connection is interrupted it saves drafts there.

I'm using Thunderbird 115.11.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 / Wayland, and it's installed as a snap. Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi All, I've been running TB on my home desktop since ancient times. Present config has been working for quite a long time. TB manages more mail accounts, of which two connect to my remote server (and two others to gmail and freemail). The day before yesterday evening there was a power blackout while I was using TB. Since then I have the following problem:

1. First mail account says: "Could not connect mail server <remote server>; the connection was refused". Now I cannot even see the sub-folders of this account in TB while the folder files themselves exist. 2. Second mail account (to the same mail server, to another mailbox) works partially, it says after sending an email: "Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors."

Connection to mail server is via ssh portforwarding (for TB smtp is localhost:2525, imap is localhost:1143, ssh tunnels work as I can telnet to them and imap/smtp services respond). What is more, from the home desktop my wife (different local desktop user) can normally access her mailbox (different email address on the same mail server) with the same ssh tunnelling method. She was not logged in and was not using TB when the power crashed. After power had come back I ran fsck, filesystem is clean.

So I think that some setting(s) must have gone wrong under my TB profile and it is emphasized more by the fact that in the first case error msg the name of the remote server appears instead of "localhost". Account settings in TB seems to contain the original server settings (e.g. locahost, 2525, normal password, no connection security, etc.)

Only strange thing I could find in Troubleshooting list is that under "Mail and news accounts" it lists account2 (imap) localhost:1143 None Normal password while in the outgoing server column it contains _two_ times the locahost:2525 setting.

In config editor the mail.server.server2.hostname points to the original name of the remote mail server (instead of localhost???).

So what can I do if I wanted to avoid deleting the two mail accounts and re-configure them, especially considering the fact that the mailbox size is about 80 GB.

Any ideas are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks in advance, KEA.

I always had one version of Firefox installed. I regularly update the software via Help >> About Still, after every update, I am getting multiple versions of Firefox listed at [Settings/Installed Apps] and [Control Panel/Uninstall or remove apps] on my Win11 23H2 22631.3593 (screenshot attached).

In order to get rid of outdated items from the list, I need to reinstall Firefox completely, but the same thing is happening with every update of Firefox.

Is there a way to resolve this and why is this happening?

Hi there,

Using the shortcut Ctrl + Cmd + Space is suppose to open the Emoji panel, however it disappear instantly.

I have already heard that this could happen if you download FF in a specific language and then change it to another language (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1563862). I have deinstalled everything and reinstalled without changing the language, and it still don't work properly.

I'm a swiss french user, so my keyboard is configured for "French - Swiss" and Firefox is in French.

Does some of you still have this issue? Thanks a lot for your help

How do I turn on autofill in firefox 125/126? There are help pages that say go to settings>privacy> and turn autofill on. But there is no autofill mentioned anywhere in that page. The only reference that autofill comes up with when typed in the search bar in settings is in import settings. How is this so difficult to enable, its basic functionality 10 years ago. I've also tried going to extensions.formautofill.supportedCountries and extensions.formautofill.addresses.supportedCountries and adding my country (why this is a thing is bizarre as well).

Firefox just used almost a GB by just opening it! I only typed a Google search, and the next moment my phone tells my I'm out of data!

Note that this is foreground data, not background data. I googled and found answers about media playing in the background, but I haven't watched anything recently, so no streaming link should be active. I installed Ublock origin so I hope that might help.

Attach is my Firefox data usage for the past week of barely using it, except for an occasional Google search.

I usually download and install manually the custom install of Firefox on Windows.

Recently, a new version was automatically installed without my permission and destroyed all my customization. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I had to restore the older version from backup and I was going to stop updating.

But I see that the manual custom installation is still available for download.

I want to make sure that if I use it it will not wipe out my customization again.

Please confirm.
