Recently started using Thunderbird for three email accounts. Happy with it. I've just changed Your Name for one account, but when I send an email the old format of Your Name is shown as the sender. Can't find a way to correct that. Colin F

I recently explored the backgrounds on Firefox. I choose one of the, because they look really nice. But after I changed my Firefox Data Collection and Use settings the background disappeared.

Why do you have to keep "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" enabled?

Is there any way to set up TB to have only ONE Delete action per keypress? That does not mean a limit of one message per Delete keypress -- for example, if multiple messages are selected, then a single Delete keypress should delete all selected -- but just that the Delete key must be released and pressed again for successive Delete actions.

[Searching on this topic before asking, I noticed a number of questions regarding multiple unwanted or inadvertent Delete actions, which all seem to boil down to this question, but could not find an instance where this simple question was asked, let alone answered.]

I could not find anything in TB Settings or Config Editor (searching "delete", "keypress", "key"). There were a few suggestive Config Editor variables containing "key", but none seemed on-point. Is there any documentation on Config variables?

FF Version 124.0.2 Thank you for your time and help.

I am running Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64 Bit) on a Mint 22 OS ... & have spent most of the day yesterday & a couple hours today to find the solution to the SMALL FONT SIZE in the "Folders Panel" in Thunderbird" & have checked several threads of others having the SAME PROBLEM ...

• • I FOUND THE SOLUTION TODAY!!

• • i simply want to save a ton of people the grief that I went through to solve the SMALL FONT SIZE in the various panels in Thunderbird ...

SOLUTION: On the Top Right of the Thunderbird Screen ... CLICK ON THE THREE BARS ... and you will notice that The SIXTH ITEM DOWN IN THE DROP DOWN MENU ... IS "FONT" ... THIS is WHERE you solve your Font Size Problem!! Simply click on the (+) sign to increase the font or click on the (-) sign to decrease the font size!! Viola!! Problem Solved!!

I read where people were directed to the config file under settings and setting up a chrome file ... but you don't need ANY OF THAT ... you DO However need to make sure that in the config file that it is set to the default setting of (-1.0) if it isn't ... & all of us need to apologize to the developers for saying that this updated version of Thunderbird is bad programing ... Because It Isn't!! They gave us a SIMPLE MENU to fix the font size ... we just didn't know WHERE it was!!

Blessings ... I hope this helps a ton of people with the same problem that I had so you DON'T waste a bunch of time and/or stop using Thunderbird because it is the BEST Email Program Out There!!

Account 1:

Enter name, email address, password, check "Remember password" (sic). I've also tried skipping the password for now.

Click "Continue," and see "Configuration found at email provider," good.

Click "Done," but nothing happens.

Account 2:

Enter name, email address, password, check "Remember password" (sic). I've also tried skipping the password for now.

Click "Continue," but nothing happens.

I see that there are similar posts, but they are mostly archived.

Some mention error messages. I just get no response.

Some mention enabling OAuth2. I see no such option. If I use "Advanced." the options are "Automatic," "Normal password," (sic) "Encrypted password," (sic) "Kerberos/GSSAPI," and "NTLM."

I'm not sure exactly when this behavior started, but I've noticed that when I click a link to an XPI file on a third-party web-site, Firefox no longer prompts to install the extension.

For instance, when I click the outlined link in the first screenshot, the second screenshot shows what happens.

I have encountered PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR for the last few days. All websites cannot be accessed. I tried to uninstall/reinstall Firefox several time and nothing works. My system is Windows 11 Home, Version 22H2, Installed on ‎2/‎7/‎2023, OS build 22621.4037. Kaspersky Anti Virus is 21.3.10.319(m).

For the past couple of months, every time I boot up my computer and launch Thunderbird I get the attached error messages for each of my email accounts (2 Hotmail and one Outlook)

Repeatedly clicking "retry" often results in success but sometimes I get the second message indicating the server has disconnected. Usually, after a few minutes things settle down, the messages come through and all is well but it is a nuisance. I would switch to using Outlook but it cannot send multiple emails which I periodically need to do and I don't want to encourage Microsoft's near monopoly of computer technology.

I have tried accepting coookies as advised elsewhere in here and tried turning on O Oath as my authentication method but this just got me another error message saying this authentication "was not supported on this platform" (whatever that means??) Anyway, I reverted to using "simple password" which does eventually work.

I looked at 2 factor authentication but that proved to be impossible to understand and, in any case, I rarely carry a 'phone with me and do not want to clutter my 'phone up with more apps. I use 2 factor authentication on a lot of my confidential accounts and none of these were as complicated to set up as this one and certainly did not invole scanning QR codes and installing special apps.

Will this bug be fixed by more updates to Thunderbird or is there some other way of solving this problem.

I realize Facebook doesn't have a spell check feature,but is there a way my browser, Firefox, which I already have spell check enabled can somehow spell check Facebook when I chat? Can someone help? Thank you.

This feature has suddenly appeared and I absolutely detest it! I don't need it, don't like it, don't want it! I have searched everywhere on how to disable it. PLEASE tell me there is an option to do that.

I used Firefox and recently there is no audio on any of the websites I visit. I am using an ASUS laptop with Windows 11. Other browsers (Edge and Chrome) do have audio. I tried disabling all of the add-ons but it did not help. Has anyone else experienced this or have a possible solution?

I got an email from Microsoft saying my Live.com or Outlook.com email accounts won't be supported in Thunderbird UNLESS I change the settings to OAuth2 in incoming and outgoing server settings.

I even REMOVED the email account and re-added it making sure it was OAuth2.

But for my live.com & outlook.com email accounts I continually get prompts for passwords from Thunderbird. Sometimes I can't even click the RED X at the upper right to shut the prompt down. I just happens over and over until I give it what it wants.

I am tempted to shut down all Microsoft email accounts and switch to Gmail.

I have Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64-bit) I used Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.3810 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

Any idea how to stop these prompts?

I like Thunderbird much more than any other email program I have ever used, and would like to keep it

I just installed an update when prompted by Firefox. Now I can't log into Hotmail.

FF 129.0.2 x64. The update restarted FF. Everything else seems to work OK. But when I go to Hotmail.com, at first it displays my Hotmail inbox - which is odd; all other webpages requiring a login were logged out when I installed the update, requiring me to log in again - but then it switches to an error:

Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later.

The Microsoft account login server has detected too many repeated authentication attempts. Please wait a moment and try again.

The same Hotmail account is still logged in and functioning on Chrome. This is why I think it's a FF-specific problem.
