I can't sign into my Thunderbird account. I keep getting this message "Login to server imap.comcast.net with username mdbedard@comcast.net failed." I can't send or receive emails.

the latest updates to firefox have ruined access to youtube videos causing extensive loading delays and in some cases not allowing the youtube article to load at all using DuckDuckGo youtube runs fine

With about 60G of accumulated e-mail in several Microsoft accounts, I moved all accounts into T-bird and put most in local folders. This somehow became over 600G in size. Everything works and compacting seems to be getting done since it's been working some weeks now. Yet this ten-fold increase in size is unwieldy and very difficult to backup. Perhaps related, I notice that M'soft's "new" free Outlook app is present and perhaps running on this computer. And all the e-mails I send from my main Hotmail account are listed twice in the T-bird sent folder. About half of the times I start T-bird, I get a message saying that login to server outlook.office365.com with username xxxxxxxx@hotmail.com failed; the other accounts never do this. T-bird offers to retry, but that usually ends with a repeat of the same message. I've learned that if I let it open, with time, the e-mails do appear, though I don't know how or why. I've also been using Libreoffice successfully for months now though I doubt that anything to do with this. T-bird nicely solved the original e-mail oversize problem I had with Microsoft's size limitations and I'd appreciate advice on how to deal with what's happening.

I have always kept old emails in the LOCAL folders for security reasons not having all my info on a server somewhere that could be comprimized/stolen/scammed. I am now on Yahoo and have heard security is not the best so I am not sure I want to put all these files on their servers. Now, however, as my PC is getting old I am afraid it could crash, I assume I would loose all those emails-correct?. If I go into my TB Profile and find the Mail/Local Folder I can copy and paste it to a flash drive. Would that be the recommended way to back up? If I did this process a month from now would it, like a file, ask me to overwrite what is already there and add anything new? If my PC did crash, could I do the reverse and copy and paste that flash drive Local folder into my new TB profile? Thank You.

I've configured an external gpg key for use in Thunderbird, but I'm unable to decrypt an encrypted message sent to myself via thunderbird. I've attached the error thunderbird gives me.

Sending a normal email, a signed email and an encrypted email works just fine. Verifying a signed email also works fine.

Extracting the GPG message, and attempting to manually decrypt it via gpg gives me the following error:

$ gpg --decrypt enc.txt gpg: encrypted with cv25519 key, ID 0xREDACTED, created 2020-01-01

     "REDACTED"

gpg: encrypted with cv25519 key, ID 0xREDACTED, created 2020-01-01

     "REDACTED"

gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d) gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d)

I followed the instructions here to setup my YubiKey OPGP w/ Thunderbird: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards#Configure_an_email_account_to_use_an_external_GnuPG_key

Now and then, when I press the Enter key, Thunderbird moves the current email message from Inbox to Trash instead of opening the message in a new tab.

When trying to login to my AT&T account from fire fox the page continually refreshes and will not load. Microsoft edge will login fine. Anyone know the solution?

Home screen custom wallpaper selection, new themes ( blue, white or smth else ), new open tabs section style. Please bring a few more features like this, because Firefox can be made much more beautiful (I think so). Especially custom wallpaper should come as quickly as possible. This is just one user's opinion, I hope you take it into consideration.

Firefox is using a large amount of battery while idle. You can see my app runs open a lot of the day, but not in use much. It has drained 20 percent of one days battery, and I am watching YouTube videos on another app (Grayjay btw check it out!) and it has used far less battery. If I set Firefox into a sleeping state, the app still drains a lot of battery. When in deep sleep,it stops draining as much power, but then Android keeps auto pushing their own browser to be my primary browser. I'm not sure what to do in this case, as it's too much of a hassle to have links not auto open in Firefox when in deep sleep. This excessive battery drain doesn't make sense, and I was wondering if there was any fix for this. Thanks for taking the time.

Why doesn't developer edition doest have a flag like web security disabled like in chrome to bypass cors issues for local development . I am planning to switch from chrome to mozilla but now I am disappointed because I can't use it for my local server development..

Hello everyone, I have had a problem for a few weeks on the X platform. Some buttons no longer appear, notably the edit button on an image post or the "see" button for a hidden account (see images attached) Does anyone have a solution? I uninstalled ALL the extensions and restarted the app, but nothing works! Thanks in advance

I need to create a pdf file to share with an agency in another country that does not have Firefox. I am unable to create a simple pdf - all of the files are automatically Firefox pdfs. All attempts to convert this file to a regular pdf have failed. Please help!

This is a repeat of a problem that I posted a couple of weeks ago. I am unable to log in to my New York Times account on Firefox (other browsers work fine). I have reset the password several times but it still doesn't work. I had a response to my previous question that led me to disable Total Cookie Prevention for that site. Thereafter the Times seemed to work properly and I stated that the problem was fixed. However, the fix lasted for only a short time and it is again acting the way it previously acted--I can't get past the first page to the full stories. There must be something else at work, but I have no idea what.

This issue is only on two computers (24" iMac running Sonoma) - others at the client site work normally.

Client has up to date Firefox (127.0.2 - also tried latest ESR) full screen with multiple tabs - config set to use system print dialog by default. Print - print dialog opens, print is sent. Tabs are now greyed out, cannot type in text boxes. Changing context (opening and closing About Firefox) restores normal function.

set up a new profile - same issue.

Any suggestions?

I have accounts for my husband, sister and daughter as well as myself. Lately when I try to access my emails I keep getting messages to enter the passwords for these accounts. I have never had to do this before. I don't have passwords for them and don't even really know how to do this.

Also my emails are very slow. I was waiting for a link to a podcast and the email with the code took a little over five hours after the podcast before I received it. This has never happened before.

Help. Gail

I have various multi-members set up on TB. Most of the time, I use them just as they are, but on occasion, I would like see the members of the list displayed in the "TO" field of the email, so I can delete one or two of them from a specific email. Is there a way to do this?

In Windows Live Mail, for example, clicking on the name of the list would display the members. This doesn't work in TB. Is there a similar function?

i get a pop up when a new email come in on my main monitor. i have many. sometimes i would like to just delete it there rather than open up the inbox to delete once it arrives in my in box. a delete trash can icon would be nice to have on that pop up
