This issue is happening with every newly installed add-on, but not with add-ons installed on or before Aug 3, 2024. The add-ons are installed via addons.mozilla.org. To rule out the possibility that it's happening only with specific add-ons, I also installed one of the random recommendations on that page, Augmented Steam which has 54,248 users, and it happens with that one as well.

I'll click Enable, but the prompt appears every time I restart Firefox.

What I've tried (with a restart after each attempt):

  • Clear the startup cache
  • Delete extensions.json
  • Delete compatibility.ini
  • Via about:config deleted extensions.databaseSchema and extensions.getAddons.databaseSchema
  • Excluded Add-ons from syncing

I've noticed the following in extensions.json for each of the recent add-ons after restart:

  • syncGUID changes to presumably random new value
  • active changes from true to false
  • userDisabled changes from false to true
  • seen changes from true to false

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird for a while now, and while I generally like it, there is a huge problem: Sometimes, for no apparent reason, it doesn't retrieve any emails from either of the two accounts that I have connected to it. This happens maybe once a week or so, and it can take a few hours for me to notice, because it simply looks as if no new emails would be coming in - which is perfectly possible. But then someone tells me they sent me an email two hours ago, or I shut down the computer, and when I reboot it later, several emails I retrieved that should have been in my inbox much earlier. Once I notice the malfunction, closing Thunderbird and launching it again will fix the problem. But I'm a freelancer, I could miss important emails or job offers, so I need my email client to be reliable. Is this a known issue? Any idea what I could do?

I have Windows 10, by the way.

Thanks

Today, Firefox stopped playing audio on Facebook videos and won't play Netflix videos at all (Netflix error code: F7701-1003). Youtube works fine and has audio, but several other video sites I've tried have video but no audio. It was all working fine yesterday and I haven't changed any settings.

These websites work fine with both audio and sound on Microsoft Edge on the same laptop, so this is a problem exclusive to Firefox. OS is Windows 11 Home 23H2, Firefox is latest version (129.0.2)

Things I've tried: 1. Refresh Firefox settings 2. Download and install fresh copy of Firefox 3. Toggle DRM content in setting on/off - no difference no matter what is selected 4. Ensure that 'remember history' is selected 5. Check for Windows updates 6. Uninstall audio driver, restart and fresh install of audio driver 7. Ensure it's not in private mode 8. Turn off all extensions 9. Check volume mixer allows sound for Firefox 10. Clear the cache and cookies

I can't find any more suggestions on the internet, so any further suggestions welcome!

I've tried restarting and reinstalling Thunderbird but no change in this blockage since Tuesday. I am running Windows 11 Pro and Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit). Downloading chunks of email from Comcast and trying to import them doesn't work. Please advise as I am stuck. I will check your answers on Comcast server as I can not read them directly.

With Thunderbird 128.1.0esr for Linux, no longer able to drag/drop images inline. Instead of the image being embedded, it is now inserted as a link to the file on the local hard drive, which of course is useless to the recipient and not the expected behavior at all.

My colleague, like me has been using Thunderbird for years, thank you. He has just purchased a new printer (Epson 2200) and he can no longer print any emails. Clicking on print brings up the box with 'Save to pdf' the ony option. We have gone into Troubleshooting Information and the printer appears in the print_printer line. We have also tried clearing the 'Clear saved print settings'. After we restart TB, no change, still unable to print with 'save to pdf' the only option. We have removed and reistalled the printer, which will print anything else outside of TB.

TB is up to date with the Nebula version. Windows 11 on new Acer Laptop.

Can you help?

Thank you

Since the update of Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) it freezes every couple minutes on a profile with 3 email accounts. One - no longer used - has about 2300 emails and is kept to access old emails.

The second is my primary Gmail account with 4351 emails in Inbox and 2234 in Outbox. Inbox shows 1.2 gb and Outbox 911 mb. The freezing has caused very significant challenges with reading and sending emails due to the freezing. As it is my primary email it is extremely concerning. And I am in the middle of a couple huge projects so I am getting a lot of emails.

The third is minimal with 26 emails.

I know it is not the number of accounts in the profile as I have 4 other profiles with more accounts and none of them freeze at all. (I manage/monitor other websites and keep them all separate.)

Also as others have noted the Filter function is doing weird stuff and rarely works properly anymore.

See attached image. Every time I start Thunderbird or refresh my emails, it attempts to delete a folder called "temp", and then fails to poll it.

The folder is not listed in Thunderbird or the Gmail web interface. I deleted it manually a long time ago. For some reason Thunderbird seems to be remembering it.

How do I clear this phantom folder out of my profile?

Have used Thunderbird with Comcast/Xfinity for over 10 years. I can receive all of my email on Thunderbird. About 6 months ago I started to not be able to send emails from Thunderbird sporadically, but it has escalated to the point of not being able to send emails of my comcast.net accounts at all. From my gmail accounts I can send messages just fine through Thunderbird. Three weeks ago I spent 2 hours on the phone with Xfinity. Reset all the passwords, checked all the settings, etc etc. For the rest of that day I could send all emails through Thunderbird. Ever since that day, same problem. I spent another 2 hours on the phone yesterday with Xfinity and they are sending my issue to a 3rd or 4th tier support person. They say there is no guarantee they will find a solution and that I won't hear back until Monday or Tuesday. Also this is the same problem on 2 different computers. One computer has the newest Thunderbird update to version 128.1.0esr and the other has the last version of Thunderbird as 115.14.0.

Here is the exact error message I get when I try to send an email:

Sending of message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-s2p-647654.sys.comcast.net resomta-s2p-647654.sys.comcast.net Excessive failed authentication, ESMTP server temporarily not available.

The numbers after s2p- change for each attempt to send an email.

Believe me I have tried all sorts of different settings and I have read practically all of the solutions I could find on Mozilla's support forums and articles.

Really need help on this one. Jennifer
