Have a macbook pro. Have not updated firefox in a while due to this message I get when i go to "about firefox" "Updates disabled by your system administrator" This is my personal laptop for the last few years, nobody has ever used it. I AM the administrator. Many posts online about this message for windows and linux but cannot find a fix for Mac, or why this is happening.

How do i update please? Having a lot of latency issues of late so need to update.

I'm migrating Thunderbird from my old Windows 10 computer to a new Windows 11 computer.

I've installed Thunderbird v115.12.2 and successfully moved all my accounts, emails, calendars, etc., to the new computer.

Several things are NOT working correctly, though:

1 - Settings will not open. Here is the message from the error console:

Error: No such tab mode: preferencesTab

   openTab chrome://messenger/content/tabmail.js:758
   openTab chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js:257

   openPreferencesTab chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js:295
   openOptionsDialog chrome://messenger/content/mailCore.js:628
   oncommand chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xhtml:1

2 - Customize menu does not open

3 - The hamburger menu in the upper right corner does not open

4 - The spaces toolbar on the far left is missing

5 - Events and Tasks are missing from the menu

6 - My calendar is nowhere to be found - I can't find a way to access it (on my old computer, I clicked on the calendar icon in the spaces toolbar on the left side of the window)

Thunderbird on my old computer was also running v115.12.2 when I backed up the profile folder to move it.

I tried downgrading to Thunderbird v102. I had all of the same issues listed above PLUS all my accounts and emails disappeared. -- I've brought it back up to v115.12.2.

Could someone please help me get Thunderbird working correctly?

My wife sent me an email with a small word file to my Yahoo and I see the email when I log into Yahoo but not Thunderbird. I have always been able to receive emails with attachments before so don't know what to do. I'd be fine if I saw the email without the attachment but no email shows up at all in Thunderbird, only Yahoo email.

I move old emails to archive folders, by year, when I get around to it. Today decided to shift emails from Sent file back to 2020, and from Inbox for all of 2022 and for the first half of 2023. Archived each year's batch separately. In every case I got a "Thunderbird not responding", so eventually stopped it via Task Manager. When I restarted, all the highlighted emails had been moved properly. When I did it for the first half of 2023, all the emails appeared as expected in the 2023 Archive folder ... for a few seconds. Then they all disappeared, as did much of the content of the other annual archive folders. What do I do to recover all those emails?

I switched back to release from nightly because the themes support completely broke rendering of menus, buttons, etc on various (read: pretty much every single one, including this one) websites, making them difficult or impossible to use. I've tried a browser refresh to no effect.

unfortunately, it appears the feature has been rolled out to release now as well, as pictured below.

I've tried cycling through themes, setting custom colors and forcing it to never replace the website's specified colors etc, turning off acceleration... none of it works. this is an issue on my desktop, laptop, and tablet (surface pro x), basically every platform I use except mobile.

any ideas how to fix this? it's really annoying and I'd really like to not hop browsers again, I've been using firefox for a good long while now.

I'm a writer. In keeping with the Law of Primacy, my first work is usually my best work (after a few tweaks). I recently had to write an email response to someone for the Darling Bride and me.

I waxed poetic and wrote an incredibly diplomatic response to a most unpleasant situation. After completing the entire message down to our signatures, I selected "File" and "Save" to make sure it was all saved in the Drafts folder. That way, I could open it on another device and read the draft to her.

Imagine my shock when I opened it, only to find that the draft stopped in the middle of a word - while I was correcting a typo - and didn't save anything after that! Frantic, I went back to the computer I used to write it, hoping the entire email was at least saved locally. Nope! The draft stopped in the middle of the message, even though I had saved the entire thing.

Perhaps this isn't high priority for a lot of users... but for those few of us, it's a critical, fatal flaw that has to be resolved. I can't even imagine that I did anything wrong: I saved the message before exiting; and opened to find half of it missing. I love the idea of Thunderbird and its privacy features, compared with the data-mining big names. But I can't afford to lose data! This was a personal response, thankfully, and not related to my work as a writer and author. However, I have to trust my email client with the data I save to it. Any hints to prevent this are greatly appreciated.

I am having trouble manually configuring an AOL email account (username@verizon.net). AOL's instructions say to manually configure the account. I tried to do that twice, once with IMAP and the other with POP.

Now, I have two email folders in Thunderbird that I cannot use. They are both empty because I get a message box that says "Login to server imap.aol.com with username@verizon.net failed." when I try to use them. When I use the same login credentials to login to the website mail.aol.com, they work.

I have to contact AOL as to why when I try to access the account with an email client (Thunderbird and Outlook) I'm getting password errors. In the meantime, how do I delete the two email folders created incorrectly in Thunderbird?

Thanks for your help.

When I restart Mozilla Thunderbird, my S/MIME certificate preferences under Account Settings seem to break.

When I initially select a certificate, both the common name/certificate name and the certificate fingerprint appear in the interface (see Working Settings.png). However, after restarting Thunderbird, only the common name/certificate name appears in the interface, and I cannot use S/MIME to sign messages (see Broken Settings.png). When I attempt to do so, I receive the following error message:

Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. You specified that this message should be digitally signed, but the application either failed to find the signing certificate specified in your Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, or the certificate has expired.

To be clear, Thunderbird has no problem finding and using the certificate right after I set it—the problem only appears when I restart Thunderbird and the appearance of the certificate in the settings changes. The certificate does not expire until April 2025, so this is not the issue. The issue also occurs with another account using a different certificate that is also unexpired.

I am using Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit ESR) on MacOS with Apple Silicon.

I have a custom domain (me@mydomain.com) with email / contacts / calendar hosted by Google Workspace. I initially managed to add both the email and calendar account to Thunderbird but recently the calendar stopped syncing.

I tried to fix the problem by first removing the calendar account. This did not work because the 'Create New Calendar' -> 'On the Network' account wizard does not prompt me for the Google OAuth2 login page but just asks me for a password and fails. I tried to supply several 'Location:' URLs like gmail.com, calendar/accounts.google.com but none lead to the Google OAuth2 page.

Finally I removed the email account too and re-added it. During the new account setup workflow Thunderbird seems to look for calendars too but failed to find any...

How do I proceed? How are you supposed to set up a Google Calendar on a custom domain using the OAuth2 sign-in procedure?

Hi I have been having issues with my Thunderbird emails which would not send or be received. Now I can send but not receive.

Whenever I use it or open it I get one consistent error message as follows:

"Could not connect to mail server mail.transitioncoachingbedford.co.uk, the connection was refused"

And on sending emails I get a pop up error that says:

"your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder due to network or file access errors".

I've turned the firewall off, I've uninstalled Thunderbird and re-installed but can't fix. I've read through suggestions for fixes on other issues that sound the same but am not at all computer minded and don't understand most of the suggestions.

Can anyone please help as this is my business email. I've got access to the emails on something called RoundCube but not sure what to do.

M3 Macbook Pro, Sonoma 14.3.1. Firefox ESR 115.12.0esr (64-bit).

Fresh FF install right after setting up OS. Opening FF from OS opens home page. If FF is not running & I click a link in another program (email, GIMP help menu link, etc.) FF opens the linked page but also opens the home page (2 tabs). If FF is running, the linked page is opened in a new tab, leaving current tab(s) in place, the expected behavior.

FF is default browser. Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed is selected. Created a vanilla test profile with no modifications to settings, made it default, and got the same result.

On my previous laptop (don't remember FF version - whatever the latest Intel ESR version was about a month ago) opening FF from the OS opened to the home page. Opening FF (not running) from a link in another program opened only the linked page and not the linked page + home page. FF already running behaved the same as now.

My OS account name is changed in the troubleshooting information.

I am currently on windows 11 for ARM (surface laptop 7) and this problem is occurring with both Firefox as well as Firefox developer edition. It's also only happening on my external monitor. I have done some searching and found posts from as long as 4 years ago. The posted solution is to disable any compatibility options but in my case none are selected. This is driving me nuts, does anyone know of a solution? This has to be firefox specific because no other program does this, including other browsers. I have included a screenshot to show what it looks like.

This isn't strictly related to Hulu but using it as an example: Hulu has some bug right now where it will occasionally suddenly use a lot of CPU power and completely lock up Firefox, and to some degree my whole system. If I manage to "close" the tab, it *appears* to close, but it's very clear that whatever Hulu is doing is still going on in the background. This time I was at least able to open the task manager and kill Firefox – which immediately alleviated the problem, and upon reopening Firefox, the Hulu tab was still there (indicating it never closed).

I don't know if this is possible, especially given I don't know what's causing the bug with Hulu, but it would be nice if Firefox was better able to handle a tab getting out of control like that.
