A couple of websites in Firefox just wont scroll down at all, hence I cannot access all the information or links. zooming out helps partially but not convenient. how can I fix this please? I already turned off and then back on the hardware acceleration option that was offered to someone as a solution. The same site works perfectly fine in Chrome.

Another issue, i tend to notice more frequently in comparison but still very rare is where the whole site is greyed out or no buttons or links work. Possibly because you must click on accept or some button/link that I am unable to see or access despite all efforts. so, you give up!

Please advise. thanks. Regards S

Hi everyone,

I use Firefox as my primary browser for several reasons, but the main one is because it has the best Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature. However, I no longer use Windows and have encountered problems with it on various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian...). Currently, I'm only using Fedora 40, and the problem persists.

The issue is that when I click on the PiP icon, it activates normally, but when I switch windows or minimize and then maximize Firefox again, the video disappears.

I will attach some screenshots to clarify the issue.

I would like to know if there is any way to resolve this. I’ve already reset the settings, cleared the cache, and tested different installation methods (software store, .tar.bz file, apt, dnf, snap). I’ve tried troubleshooting mode and even installed the Developer Edition, but the problem persists. I’m wondering if this is an issue with the Linux version of Firefox.

Thank you.

Program works fine except it takes over a minute to download email. I think this started a week or so ago after a momentary power outage crashed my computer.

My version says its up to date 32 bit and I'm on the esr update channel.

I deleted a large quantity of expendable emails thinking maybe I needed more space, but that had no effect.

When I start in safe mode (Windows 7) I am able to open Thunderbird. But when I tried to get my mail I get message: "pop.verizon.net connection was refused"

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (I'm not very savvy about these things)

Hello, I have two Hotmail accounts on Thunderbird, one @hotmail.com and one @hotmail.es (if that makes any difference). Both working fine since switching from Windows to Linux a week ago. As of this morning, the hotmail.com address can't send emails (it can receive them no problem). The hotmail.es email can send and receive no problem, although it has the same settings.

When I try to send an email I get the error: "login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username ...,@hotmail.com failed. " If I click on 'enter new password', it just tries to send the email again without asking for a password, although I don't think that's the issue because I can login via the outlook.com website using that same password.

When I click cancel, I get the error: "Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to outgoing server (SMTP). Please check the password and verify the authentication method in account settings/outgoing server/(SMTP)".

I've checked both POP settings and outgoing server settings and they are the same for both accounts, apart from the email address obviously (pic below). I got these settings from the Microsoft page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040

Microsoft support said it's a Thunderbird problem. I've tried disabling my firewall and VPN. Would appreciate any other ideas (in absolute beginner terms if possible). Many thanks for reading.

Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (64-bit), Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon 64-bit, Gufw Firewall 24.04.0, VPN Surfshark 3.0.3, Hotmail.com, ISP = Three 5G

This isn't a question, its a complaint.

The performance of Firefox with upload speed is TERRIBLE! I have multiple computers, all with Windows OS's and Firefox installed as the main browser. Each of them report back lower than actual upload speed.

Other browsers like Edge, chrome, and a CLI tool on linux all report my actual download/upload speeds.

I have tried the various about:config and profile changes as a work around that I found here and alsewhere, none of them work.

I suppose the best place to start is when/where I think this problem started. Approx three to four weeks ago my thunderbird program stopped downloading emails from my server (Spectrum/RR). I say Approx because the problem sort of sneaked up on me without me realizing it was there.

I was using W7 and my hard drive was pretty much full and I was constantly getting messages that my email could not be downloaded due to lack of space. I started deleting stored emails and emptying the trash, which sort of kept me up and running for the past couple weeks. All this time my Gmail account continued to work as it should, downloading every email that was sent to me, but the Spectrum/RR account was spotty at best.

So today I fired up a new W11 computer for the first time. One of the first programs I installed was Thunderbird. When I attempted to set up an account using Spectrum/RR the process failed. I typed in all of the correct information, Name, Email, and Password but the account will not finalize. Instead, I continue to get the same message that the Configuration, Username or Password is incorrect.

I have since successfully logged into my Spectrum/RR web mail, so I know the username and password I am using is correct. I have also talked with Spectrum Technical support, and they have verified that what I am using to log in is correct.

I hope I didn't ramble on to much and someone can help me !

Sometimes my Thunderbird Inbox (or some other folder) is empty, and it's Properties Location is empty. I've found nothing to fix that except to close Thunderbird and reopen it; sometimes needing to wait a few or several minutes before reopening it. That's always (finally) worked, but I guess I'm concerned that one time it won't work. What could be causing that?

After updating to Thunderbird version 115.12.2(32 bit) two days ago, I can no longer send emails. I get an error message "Authentification error (VM401)" I use Virgin Media. I can receive emails OK. I have not changed any server settings for a long time. I have been in touch with Virgin Media, they say the problem is with Thunderbird as I can send emails from on their one line system. I can also send emails from my Android phone. Any help would be appreciated.
