I have tried multiple times to add an email account to thunderbird in windows but I keep getting the error, "Unable to log in at server...". I know the details are correct as I'm copying and pasting them from my password manager so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Greetings,

 I'm using Thunderbird 115.11.1 (64-bit) on MacOS 14.4 (M1). I'm trying to set the browser Thunderbird uses to Firefox - overriding the system's default browser.

The instructions I'v found are out-of-date, they do not apply to version 115.11.1 (64-bit).

The question: For this version, how can I set Thunderbird's browser? I hope this feature wasn't removed!

Thanks

Trying to us kp.org and Firefox would not recognize the selections made. At times Firefox would not let me make or retain the selection made. Switched to Chrome and site worked smoothly.

Hi,

I'm trying to automate / batch set the "When getting messages for this account, always check this folder"-setting for a large number of folders so I'm trying to figure how Thunderbird stores the setting(s) of which folders to always check for new mail.

Checking the `global-messages-db.sqlite` it seems like all folders that have the "always check folder"-setting have a `indexingPriority` value of 30 in the `folderLocations` table, but simply setting it to 30 for other folders does not enable the "always check folder"-setting so I guess that is set elsewhere. Where?

Also what other settings are set for the folder when enabling "When getting messages for this account, always check this folder" ?

Thanks in advance /frax

My FF version 126.0.1 browser history file size is stuck at 10,240 KB. Until recently it was 54,000 KB and change. I would like to get it larger. I've tried all the recent help postings relating to places.history.expiration.max_pages, places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages, browser.history_expire_days, browser.sessionhistory.max_entries or browser.sessionhistory_max_entries, and so on. Nothing seems to be able to change the "places" file size. Anyone have any more info on this topic?

I've just started getting error messages that I need to enter my password to send emails. I've tried that but it still keeps saying unable to connect to the server. This has been happening for about two days now. I've tried updating Thunderbird, restarting Thunderbird and restarting my PC. None of this has worked. I made no changes to my system, software or home network. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Hi, last week my Thunderbird started slowing down and then appeared an error which caused it to freeze (i wasn't there so i don't know what error). The program was force closed and opened again, and it started re-downloading messages in the inbox (probably repairing).

For some reason it also started running all the filters and sent a ton of old emails from the inbox. I closed it again and after opening it it worked fine, and it continued downloading messages during the weekend. Today it worked fine all day until it started running the filters again. I closed it and opened it again and it continued sending emails, so i had to close it.

I'm not sure but it may have happened after making a new filter, which is strange because i have about 180 filters and this never happened before.

I'm now afraid of opening thunderbird because it may continue sending emails.

Could this be a thunderbird bug or an add-on issue? I have Send Later as well as FiltaQuilla, which i disabled the last time i opened thunderbird.

For several months I have been experiencing very frequent tab crashes and overall freezes in Firefox. I have tried removing all extensions and starting in safe mode, but nothing has solved it. I have reinstalled Firefox and updated all of my drivers. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to what causes the crashes and freezes. They can happen any time and on any website. They happen around 5 times an hour. I do not know how to troubleshoot any further.

I have two separate client that can not use Firefox to get to SharePoint, they put in their login and then are just looped back or it says they don't have an account. Both can access from Chrome and Edge, I have reinstalled fresh on both clients and the issue still happens in Safe Mode. I have already contacted Microsoft who states because it works in Chrome and Edge the issue is going to be Firefox.

There is problem going on when I turn my laptop in the morning. It has appeared three times now. The message say " Open or Fresh Firefox" The first time I did a Fresh, the second one I clicked "Open". I later get an update and I didn't do the update then the next morning I cannot login into my laptop. I kept getting codes to enter my password. Finally, a security screen appeared and I was able to login. This morning when turning on my laptop I see the same message appear again. I did the refresh Firefox. I had to go back and reset all my personal setting.

Also, I am letting you know that I am being monitor and I am having other problems with my email and iPhone. Question: Who is monitoring the monitor?

Hi, for about 14 days I get random certificate warnings - even on well known websites. They vary from SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN to SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER... even on websites like x.com or LinkedIn. At the same time I got a new router from my ISP. But I am not sure, if this is connected somehow or if I got a Man-in-the-Middle or a virus. Malwarebytes & Co don´t find anything. I have resetted Firefox, too. But nothing helps. I get these errors in Chrome, too, sometimes. But not as often. Any ideas anybody? TIA!!!

Is there a way to export passwords on the Firefox iOS mobile app? I know how to do it on my desktop/Windows device, but not on my iPhone (iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17.5.1). Please help!

The behavior began with fifteen to twenty crash messages appearing. After which the browser would stop responding and be unable to reach out to the internet.

Network connectivity was confirmed as I was able to access my VPN and corporate teams.

I submitted as many crash reports as I could. Eventually the crash reporter ceased to function. The message is:

Firefox had a problem and crashed. Unfortunately, the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash.

Details: expected value at line 1 column 1

Only a full reboot of the machine restored functionality but only temporarily. It returns after being put into sleep mode.

Running firefox in safe mode does not restore functionality. The behavior persists.

I am fully up to date according to firefox.

I am running a Lenovo Thinkpad Windows 11.

Dear Mozilla Firefox Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to report an issue regarding the accessibility of a website through Mozilla Firefox.

The website in question, https://carrecoverydxb.com/, is currently inaccessible when attempting to load it using Mozilla Firefox. Despite multiple attempts, the site fails to open, displaying an error message indicating an inability to establish a connection.

I have tested the website on other browsers and devices, and it appears to load without any issues. However, this problem seems specific to Mozilla Firefox.

As a member of the Mozilla Firefox community, I am seeking assistance in resolving this issue. I believe it is essential to ensure that all websites are accessible through Mozilla Firefox to provide users with a seamless browsing experience.

Could you please investigate this matter and provide any guidance or solutions to address the problem? Your prompt attention to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best Regards, Umlex matlex

This has been a problem for a while, currently on Firefox 126.0 and Nvidia 550.78. I can work around the problem by forcing webrender to use software mode.

When using HW accelerated webrender with my Nvidia graphics card everything works fine until the PC wakes from sleep, then graphics are broken and Firefox needs restarting. Most noticeable for me is when looking at Grafana graphs they will look like random lines, and my Frigate NVR snapshots only display some of the time.

Is there anywhere in Firefox that will show a log of any error messages to do with the graphics card? I would like to try and fix the problem rather than disabling HW acceleration, but with no logs to look at that is impossible. No other programs seem to have a problem with resuming from sleep, and no error messages are shown in any of the system logs.
