Hello Community, I have installed Thunderbird Ver. 128.1.0esr (64-bit) for the first time on an iMac with Intel. An account is set up (approx. 4100 mails). The start of TB takes almost three minutes until it works. In comparison, Mac-Mail starts immediately. What can I do to use TB?

Kind regards Peter

Hi - running Firefox on two machines, syncing across both, and all settings and add-ons are the same. On Win10 desktop, closing Firefox leaves all cookies and passwords intact for next session. On Win11 laptop, closing Firefox deletes all cookies, passwords, and signs me out from Mozilla. Have tried rename/replace of cookies.sqlite I stress, all settings are the same everywhere, and the same add-ons and extensions on both machines. Antivirus is Avast Premium Security, add-ons are: Adblock Adblocker Ultimate DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Ghostery Privacy Badger uBlock Origin Having to reload passwords and sign in to everything on each session on the laptop is driving me nuts.

Hello,

The search bar disappears when I click on it to search for something, also the speech in the settings comes to the far right of the screen when the app is in Arabic.

I've sent pictures that show what I mean. Also, I sent images after converting the app's language to English, compare the images to see what I mean.

Thanks

Sending emails.

I can send and receive emails but after a while it keeps asking for an updated password. It won't accept the password I use. I have to use another email client.

I use two Firefox windows: one that has the web interface of my music player only, and another window for other internet browsing.

However, sometimes when I open a link from outside Firefox it opens in the window of the music player rather than in my "browsing" window. Moreover, when I switch to Firefox (using Cmd+tab on MacOS), the music window is selected rather than my "browsing" window, even if the last selected window was my browsing one.

Is there a way to make a window exclusive for a tab so that no other tabs are open in that particular window (and perhaps the tab bar is hidden)? Or is there to designate one of the windows as the "main" window?

About 3 weeks ago, I stopped getting email from ATT in Thunderbird. I am able to go online to the ATT mail and see my email, so it is something with Thunderbird. I've looked online for other suggestions and have tried several. Between everything, I've really messed things up and not sure where to start now. Last thing I tried was to delete the certificate and now I can't seem to add a certificate. Not sure if I'm suppose to create a new one or if there is one on my computer.

This morning I found some steps on how to create one. It had me go to the End-to-End Encryption to generate a new one. I didn't see that option, so I created a new OpenPGP key (not sure why I thought that would help).

Maybe the best thing is to try and reinstall Thunderbird.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Thank you.

EDIT: If you're googling this in the future, I was able to solve it by right clicking on the inbox folder and hitting 'Compact'. I guess that was able to clear up the bad data that was throwing off the indexer.

Today, my inbox has gotten partially corrupted. After updating to version 128, my Thunderbird has been very sluggish. While trying to troubleshoot that, I used Properties->Repair Folder on the inbox, which is when the current problem started.

In the main inbox window, everything looks fine. All emails are there, with correct subject names and correspondents, etc. Everything received before April 8 this year looks to be unaffected, but if I try to open up anything later than that, it displays a chunk of a completely different email from like 2007, with the From: and Subject: fields blank.

Additionally, doing the repair marked all emails from April 21, 2008 and earlier as unread.

I use POP3 to download all emails to my computer, two addresses going to the inbox.

I tried using Properties->Repair Folder again, but it still leaves the same result.

If I open the gigantic "Inbox" file in my Thunderbird profile folder in notepad++, scrolling down to the bottom I see the emails are still there, so they're not completely missing. In between the last good email and the first bad one, there is a huge section that starts with:

--=-SgCIEz327q/2h3s2MXJ25A== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Id: <92b40d02-593e-4a4a-8768-a31f564d0d90> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

and then hundreds of lines of gibberish, followed by "--=-SgCIEz327q/2h3s2MXJ25A==--" and then it goes to the next email.

Hi,

I’m experiencing an issue with notifications in latest version of Firefox on macOS. Notifications work correctly when delivered, but after a few days, clicking on the notification does not work properly – it doesn’t open a new window or close the notifications center. I have confirmed this behavior on two different websites.

Additionally, the same websites and notifications work correctly in Chrome, regardless of the time of delivery.

Is this expected behavior, or could it be a bug in the service worker code or the browser itself? How can I investigate and resolve this issue?

Thank you for your help!

In latest update 128.1.0esr the quick filter is extremely slow. When typing something in, Thunderbird freeze totally for about 20 seconds, then about 15-20 seconds later the result shows up.

This function have been working excellent in previous versions. Very quick, just fractions of seconds for result to display. And the "check in content" is not checked.

Swedish version if that makes any sense.

Hi there,

Yesterday I sent an email, only to find out today that it has not actually gone through. I did not receive any warning and have found it in Thunderbird's "sent" folder on my PC, yet looking for it in my browser did not yield any results and Outlook mobile, for instance, saved it as a draft before sending it. In neither could the email be found as "sent".

How does this happen? The email address in question is from an .edu-domain and as far as I'm concerned the settings to connect are the same as they are in Outlook - which did not have this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Why do I find duplicate sub-folders in my Gmail folder? There are two 'Drafts' folders as well as a 'Sent' and a 'Sent Mail' folder. Each duplicate sub-folder contains slightly different messages and neither can be deleted. Come to that, there's also a 'Junk' folder and a 'Spam' folder What's going on and how can I resolve it to rationalize/simplify the structure?

I was told my bank that there has been an issue with firefox since the last upgrade. I can sign into my account, but if I try to do anything or click on anything, the site locks up and I can not do anything except for sign out. They told me that it was on your end and that you needed customers to reach out. It's becoming frustrating that I can't use firefox for this application. I can get into my account and do what needs to be done with other browsers. What can you do on your end. The bank is Mission Federal Credit Union. Thank you! I look forward to hearing back with good news!
