I donated $20 and tried to download. No instructions were given after that. I could not find Thunderbird on my computer. It isn't there. There's no place I can go to get help. Stan

I have been using TBird for many years, but only for email. I have about 15,000 emails and an 18 GB profile. If I start using TB for calendar events and tasks, will that substantially increase the profile size and does that become an unwieldy folder to maintain in terms of errors occurring with time, and in terms of transferring it to a second PC?

I came here to open a subject that I will address later, but the situation I just encountered here may be related in some way.

I clicked "Ask a Question" here, after which and the page opened to this.

I did not upload the two "uploaded" images you see at the bottom to this thread. They were actually used in my previous post, but immediately upon opening this post, they were already there.

I cleared cache and cookies, relaunched, but they still remain.

BTW. wasn't there a "Preview Post" option here before? Not now, at least for me.

EDIT: Now, after I just posted, the "Preview" button is there. But why, if there is no reply to preview? It's still not here in "edit" mode.

Most tabs that I open now crash. This has been a steadily building problem that now has made the system basically unusable. I did try clearing history, cookies, etc., but that did not help. Even working tabs can crash when I go back to view them. It doesn't matter if it is a saved site, or a brand new one typed in.

Hello,

I’ve been using Firefox on my iOS device, and I’m trying to sync my bookmarks across devices. However, it seems like the bookmarks from my desktop are not showing up on my iPhone. I have already logged into my Firefox account on both devices and enabled sync for bookmarks.

Could you please guide me on how to properly sync bookmarks between Firefox on desktop and Firefox for iOS? Are there any additional steps or settings I need to check?

Thanks in advance!

Make it easy to have Thunderbird store the latest messages on top in each folder rather than on the bottom. Sort function does nothing to fix this.

Make it easily to keep ALL messages unthreaded in all folders!

If I unthread them they always go back to threade after I login again.

128.1.0esr (32-bit) Release notes

Provide an option in global settings, to use a SINGLE, MASTER "MsgFilterRules.dat" file that applies to ALL accounts vs one for each account.

My self - and MANY other users - (based upon forums) have been attempting to create a single, consolitated .dat file, then paste it into each accounts Profile sub-directory. One issue is that periodically a user must repeat the process due to additional filters created over time, but only in its relative account.

Hi there, hope your day is going well!

My question is fairly simple, I'm just wondering, to get the "best bang for my buck" when it comes to using the correct release of a Mozilla product, more specifically in my case...

1. Numbered list item Firefox
2. Numbered list item Thunderbird
3. Numbered list item Whether or not the ABOUT:CONFIG Settings menu works from the possible choices, or if one version or release.

For the best possible and most optimal usage of all the ABOUT:CONFIG settings should I use the Latest Nightly, just the Beta 130.0b5 (64-bit) or a Non Beta version, possibly the Canadian English Language release of the latest Firefox release would be o.k.? Some time back I thought I heard or was under the impression that certain ABOUT:CONFIG settings are accessible in some versions\releases of Firefox, but not in others and most likely more settings were going to end yup that way, but also remember reading that certain releases would keep ALL the accessible settings in ABOUT:CONFIG regardless of other releases "ditching" or "dropping" certain settings from there, can anyone clarify which version\release allows what and which one doesn't this or that? i remember hearing or reading that one of these settings that wouldn't be available in Firefox and the ABOUT:CONFIG settings menu anymore would be general.useragent.override and for people who like setting per site custom useragent strings, the ever popular general.useragent.override.www.SITE_NAME_HERE.COM.

Thanks ever so much for your time for helping me today! I look forward to yours and the answers and suggestions of others here on Please search & read the forums and past questions to see if your very question has already been asked & if a solution was found or not. Mozilla Support (Explore Help Articles, Forums and Questions & Answers, where you too can ask a question regarding Mozilla and the products they offer!)

AND A BIG THANKYOU AND SHOUTOUT to the Volunteers at Mozilla for your service in being a Volunteer to answer & help people, Volunteering is the key to helping others on a global scale in many facets of the things we take for granted every day, like just Volunteering to hand out cups of hot soup for your local soup kitchen or soup wagon that sets up all over the city at preset locations, you could be the guy that ladles out the soup, or the girl who gives pamphlets out at local city crisis centers or shelters, yes, even at the Y.M.C.A., and it really is kinda NOT fun to stay there, so don't really take the song to heart, in such places there are alot of disinfranchised folks who are at their final few inches on their "I can't take much more of this" meter, you can be the one who brightens that person's day!

 Back to Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird and the rest, here on Gilligan's isl.... no wait, that's something else, disregard that, back to Mozilla... not everyone knows what an ABOUT:CONFIG is, or how to set their Start Page in Thunderbird, I've been thinking about volunteering here on Mozilla, to possibly write some sort of help texts, a column (That's IF, the "powers that be" will let me?) maybe or just answer questions, everyone who has a working knowledge of what Mozilla is about, the type of questions their products bring forth and a little bit of time to spare should definately look it up, read about the volunteer positions, it's great experience, you can find it Click here to read more or possibly join the Mozilla Volunteer team today! here if you, the guy, gal or both together in one, has some time and a little knowledge, share it with your fellow humans! 

This am, TB informed me I needed to compact. I clicked on ok, next moment all emails in my inbox have disappeared. I eventually found them in a trash folder. How do I move all of them back to my inbox?

Why are my personal folders shown when select Move To then under Folders it only shows Trash ? A picture is worth a thousand words, so without further adieu :

Folders not seen

I did not set up a password to view my passwords now I can't get out my passwords. I'm the only one who has access to the computer so there is no need for this "added security", more added annoyance. I've never had to have a password before to look up a password on one of my accounts but now I'm stuck with this function turned on. I think they must have forced it on me in a resent update because I just looked at my passwords last week. Yes, I know there is a thing to reset my passwords in Thunderbird and hopefully let me turn this silly requirement off. But I've tried that and it did nothing at all.

I just downloaded Thunderbird onto a new computer and can't get it to log into my Yahoo Mail. I recall in the past that I had to set Authentication to Oauth 2. There is no option for that in current download of Thunderbird. How do I get in?

I've been using Firefox for years on Windows 10 and earlier, and I just got a new Windows 11 laptop. On the new machine my bookmarks sidebar doesn't persist. I launch Firefox and open it, but when I exit Firefox and launch it again the sidebar is gone. I have to re-open it every time. This is not the behavior I experience on my other machines. Is there a setting in about:config that I need to change?

Hi all!

Often, and on many different sites, Reader view fails to load with the error "Could not connect to the server" (NSURLErrorDomain). I haven't been able to find any patterns in this behavior.

Does anyone know what might be the cause, and if it's fixable?

I'm using Firefox for iOS, currently v128.3 (43849) on an iPhone 13 but I've had this issue on all previous Firefox versions and also on an earlier iPhone 6.

I'm sorry to say that Safari never has problems with reader view on those problematic sites... :(

Keep up the great work! ❤

Hi there,

I'm new here so please bear with me if I've posted in the wrong place or have missed something obvious.

I running Windows 10, fully updated, on a laptop. I have been using Firefox browser now for many years, suits my needs and avoid's using Goolges Chrome. My Firefox was updated a in the last few days and it shows as up to date on Version 129.0.1 64bit.

I noticed late last night that when opening a fresh window and enter a search term in either the address bar or the Google search bar, my usual choice of search engine, I hit return and nothing happens. Any text I've input disappears totally. Not at all sure what's going on but have found that if I open a new private window Firefow will act as I'd expect without any issues.

I have two other browsers on my laptop, Edge and also Avast's own offering which both work as expected when I enter a search term. Have never experienced this before with the exception of years ago when malware protection wasn't great. It almost seems as though something is just stopping Firefox from searching anything I enter. I can use the bookmarks just fine and then everything works as usual.

Yesterday I thought that maybe following the new windows culmulative updates I was offered and apparently installed just fine, that I needed to restart which a tried and I thought it had cured the issue. Seems that it hasn't and still having the same issue.

Any idea's or thought's on what the cause of this is?
