Currently I am using Thunderbird for two e-mail accounts, an imap account with my university and a pop account with my local utility company. The local utility is phasing out their support for e-mail and suggested customers migrate to gmail. I have created a gmail account and successfully added it to Thunderbird. I'm now trying to move my many years of messages from my pop account to my new gmail account by dragging them from one account to the other in Thunderbird. Many times when dragging folders, groups of messages, or even individual messages from my pop account to my new gmail account, nothing happens for quite sometime and then I get an error that the gmail imap server has timed out. Sometimes the moves work great but after a while I can't move anything. I close Thunderbird and come back later to find that I can move a few more things before timing out.

Under privacy and security I'm able to remove cookies, but capital one shopping & their third party cookies reinstall themselves automatically. I am paying off my Capital One credit card and cancelling it, so I will be uninstalling their app on my cell phone. I've only visited their site once on my Linux PC, have never installed their app on it and I don't appreciate them tracking me here. Maybe Google linked my PC with my Pixel phone, I'll them a call also after paying off the CapitalOne card. Thanks, Claude Hansford Cochran

Hi,

I have a Mac with Sonoma. Somehow a while ago I ended up with Firefox ESR, which I was told that will not be supported after September.

I am a non-technical user. While I do have Safari and Chrome, I would prefer to continue using Firefox.

Could you please let me know the steps to execute to somehow switch from the ESR version to the current normal version without loosing settings, bookmarks or ending up with problems? Thanks in advance.

I get this sometimes when moving/backing up profile contents, even when the the eventual path of the moved contents will be shorter than the original.

I have a problematic profile, so I copied it's contents to another folder with a shorter title in the same directory, but I prevented from including the file in question.

In this particular situation, the file in question is an .html file opened in a session tab. I assume It's omission not going to be detrimental.

Has anyone seen this sort of thing occurring with files that directly affect profile operations? I'm wondering if that sort of thing might be contributing to my current recurring profile issues.

I'm writing a library that takes user submitted text and renders it in the browser, among other things.

The user may submit text that mixes lines of RTL and LTR text, and each line should be rendered in the appropriate alignment and direction.

To this end, I'm presenting text in paragraph html elements with unicode-bidi: plaintext which is intended for this behavior.

I am seeing a strange behavior where a line wrap in a single span of RTL text causes the second line to be rendered LTR. This only occurs in Firefox. I'm hoping to find a workaround or fix. Toggling the unicode-bidi attribute on the paragraph element fixes the issue, as does opening the developer console for me. Seems very erratic.

I am submitting text like this:

זוהי פסקה של טקסט. הנה קישור ראשון, זהו טקסט מילוי. הנה קישור שני, זהו טקסט מילוי. והנה קישור שלישי, זהו טקסט מילוי. Which is wrapping, and the wrapped portion is aligned left instead of right.

A particular app won't verify me. It says I need to go to settings on my browser and enable locations. I use Firefox with Windows 11. I have no idea what they are talking about or how to do that. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Browser page keeps popping up every time I open my phone or unlock it and I deleted all history factory reset my phone and it's still popping up and I've done a virus search and found nothing

Suddenly, Thunderbird lost all emails. I think it happen after I used the "AddressBook". I deleted some duplicate entries from there.

Somebody suggested to check the Indox file c:\Users\trei\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\j5akdx98.default\Mail\pop.GMail.com\Inbox

There I have found indeed that "X-Mozilla-Status" was 0000 instead of 0001. I closed TB, did a batch replace, deleted the msf files and indeed the emails were back. However soon after that they disappeared again. Now the status is correct (0001) but the messages still won't appear.

When I open an email it opens one of my jpg photos. Even though I've changed the title of the photo. I did a reinstall of Thunderbird but it didn't help. One e-mail from my bank said I had an important document attached to read. There was no text in the main part of the e-mail only my photo! The title of my photo is shown as the attachment. If I click on it it opens up my photo. I've deleted the photo and it still does it. So TB has stored it somewhere? When I look at the photo path it shows this:- C:\Users\BARRIN~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pid-1316\B.G.S. RSPB Langford Reserve. Joe Harris 26-08-20 (4)-1.jpg So I deleted this folder pid-1316. Every time I click on the link it makes another 'pid' folder!

I followed Mozilla's instructions on backing up my 'profile' just in case I lost all my messages. It's getting that I daren't open an e-mail with an attachment in case I can't see it, only my jpg. HELP Please.

and I immediately began scrambling to get it back. I found this somewhere: "Don't Delete Files" is the preferred option because it saves the old profile's folder and allows you to recover the files to a new profile. So that gave me hope because that's what I had clicked (unfortunately, it was right before I saw the cancel button over on the right). That's what I get for being in a hurry I guess.

Anyhow, after 4 days of reading support forums and tons of trial and error, I'm no closer to restoring that profile than when I first started (although I've learned a lot about what does NOT work).

Btw, both my profiles have always been set up as POP3 at Gmail, although if I ever get this current problem sorted out I'll be shopping for a different POP3 provider. But that's another story.

I know how to create a new profile with Profile Manager. And I found the Profiles folders under both Thunderbird folder as well as ThunderbirdOLD folder. Have I been on the right track so far?

In the Thunderbird/Profiles folder, I don't see a folder with the deleted profile name (except the new ones (duds) I've since created ). On the other hand, I don't see the name of the profile that I did NOT delete either, but somehow it seems to be working just fine. Maybe it's the ".default" folder or ".default-release" folder? I've only ever had two profiles and I may have created the non-deleted profile first, so did that one end up being named .default? -shrug- I have no clue.

Anyhow, in the ThunderbirdOLD/Profiles folder, I also see ".default" as well as ".default-release" folders too. But in addition, I'm seeing a ".deletedprofile" named folder. So that's where I originally thought my several dozen email folders with several thousand emails and Address Book etc are hiding. But I've copied all the above mentioned folders into the several new Profiles I've created, on a trial and error basis but so far..... no luck. All I get when I open one is the new set up screen to set up a new pop3 account.... which I can do, but that's just starting from scratch without any of my saved data. I'm running out of ideas.

Where am I going wrong?

I'm on tb 128 and use roadrunner. I see my emails on spectrum server but can't download them? I was using pop, they said imap is needed.

I sent an email last night. After doing so I found the email in the sent folder, but that was not the folder I wanted it in so I moved it to the preferred folder. Today when I looked in that preferred folder, it was not listed. I did a search for the email and it was listed as being in the preferred folder. However, when I click on the email, it says it is not available. What happened? It seems that since it is listed as being in the folder in the search, that it must exist in some form still. But how can I find it? That email was a lot of hard work and now I am not sure that it actually sent or not. Plus, I really need it for my own records. I'd greatly appreciate some help.
