I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

So, I had to delete my wife's email account (and I know people cringe when that's done), because no matter what, I could not get in with any password and Thunderbird was acting strange in general. I created a new account but no matter what it will not take any password I put in. It just continues to circle and goes no where! How do I create this account easily, as I have done in the past, and what do I do about Thunderbird not accepting ANY passwords? As I said.....no matter what I put in, the the password section it doesn't take. Its like this: Name: Email address: Password: Once I put in whatever password I'm using it just continues to spin (or think) and goes no where. Can someone please help me here? I would so appreciate it. I'm not a computer dummy, but Thunderbird is sure making me feel like one!! Thank you in advance!

Hello! Google won't keep me logged in onto their services on Firefox, so that means for every time i open up Firefox I have to re-log in. I don't know why this happens, and I want to keep myself logged in onto google services but I don't know how to toggle it. Please help thank u!

I forgot my email password and am not able to sign into my "secondary email" lotsof families@comcast.net. In trying to reset my password I managed to delete all messages in this email inbox!

Thanks for the help with the screenshots David. Here are the 3 screenshots 1.) Error message on bottom right. 2 & 3) Incoming and outgoing server settings. Looking forward to solving this issue!

I keep getting error messages like below..... up to 50 a day where my Thunderbird is not syncing with my hotmail email. I can not force it but just wait until it happens to automatically sync. It keeps getting worse every week and I just got a notice from Microsoft that they will no longer accept third party programs that do not support modern authentication after September 16. I love my Thunderbird. What can I do to ensure access to my hotmail with Thunderbird?

I subscribed to an educational series that includes several kinds of presentation, including MP3, PDF, and video. The videos do not work. Not at all. I was directed to try a different browser, which I did: microsoft edge. The videos play using that browser.

I MUCH prefer to use Firefox -- do not like anything microsoft, but here we are, trapped in bill gates' monopoly.

I looked at "settings" but was not able to see anything there I thought would allow these videos to play in firefox. Be advised, I am NOT a computer person, so anything you might suggest, please be very literal, specific and define any acronyms -- do not assume I know anything about this stuff, because I don't -- I do not speak computer.

Again, I MUCH prefer to use firefox so I am hoping you can help me to watch these videos in firefox. The website is Goodness Lover (weird name, I know) it deals with diet, microbiome research etc.

thank you, Rick McBride wopela@earthlink.net

So, I've switched to Firefox as my main browser (I was using it before, but as a secondary option) and I've spotted this native extension called Pocket.

When I pressed it, I was on YouTube Music already, so it automatically saved that url. Now, the reason of contacting support is more of concern than anything. When I pressed it, a weird message has been attached to it, so I am wondering why, as it is confusing to say the least. I've attached a screenshot with the saves, which also has the weird message and YouTube for comparison next to it.

Thanks.

When Firefox opens up the address is typed in at top left in small print. The center bar is there, open, but if you click on it, while the cursor blinks, when you type in an address nothing appears as it does with Google Chrome which we have replaced with Firefox. My wife finds the top left print too small and wants me to go back to Google Chrome where she can read what she has entered. I cannot find anything, anywhere which will allow her to do this. We use Thunderbird and have made a few donations over the years. Hope you can help.

I moved some emails to a folder from the inbox and now they are not displaying. when I search them I am able to find them and can be read, the search indicates that they are in "the new folder" all mail and important. This has happened before and I have not been able to resolve I am assuming there must be a setting I have activated/deactivated but I've no idea what. I am FAR from tech savvy so please give any answers in as simplistic form as possible. Thanks Matt

When checking email, Thunderbird's status bar at the bottom will report x number of emails received (e.g., "received 1 of 1 messages"). I have not had difficulty receiving email and those messages displaying in the Inbox--but there have been a number of instances where the status bar will report one or more messages have been received, but none display, despite the fact that I do not nor have I ever had filtering in place. Since I continue to receive emails that display when received, the only thing that concerns me is that there could be messages that are being lost, and I have no idea how to correct the problem and be assured that each and every email is retrieved and displayed. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello

I created an Archive directory within Local Folders, and within that have stored years of emails.

As of yesterday, when clicking on any given sub directory within the Archive, Thunderbird says that there are 0 messages to display.

All of the .sbd and .msf files are present when I browse the Archive structure in my user profile in Windows Explorer.

The problem seems to be that Thunderbird can read and display the directory structure, but cannot display the emails contained within it.

I do not have a backup of the profile directory (yes, I know!).

Can anyone offer a solution that will allow Thunderbird to display messages that seem still be present ?

With thanks in advance

have been using Thunderbird mail for about 3 years. It’s template selected the incoming and outgoing servers and ports etc..successfully. I've been connecting to Prodigy mail/ATT I had to change the battery and it doesn't work anymore. Can you help ???it checks the password until it shows an error message that the servers password or etc are wrong. I know the password is right since I can log in directly. Messages :

1- Configuration found in ISP Database

2- Checking Password (for a few minutes

3- Unable to log in at server..probably wrong configuration username or password

4 then nothing

Worked great before battery change

I don't know why or if it's related to Firefox, but For the last couple of weeks after logging into Instagram or Facebook or Disney+ or Paramount+ or X I get an email from them that says I logged in from a device I don't usually use. I have had the same device for several years. Getting those emails is annoying and also concerning. Can I fix this somehow? FYI I use Duck Duck Go via Firefox for my internet searches.
