PROBLEM: After a restart of Windows 10 and re-starting Firefox, a Firefox window with a YouTube web page in a tab will start playing unbidden. When multiple Firefox windows with multiple tabs each are in use multiple YouTube videos will start playing. (Only one of possibly multiple YouTube tabs per FireFox window, I believe.) The cacaphony is annoying. Tracking down the offending tabs is difficult. (There is no "Show tabs playing media" feature in Firefox.)

QUESTIONS: (1) How do I prevent Firefox from playing media (YouTube and others) unbidden when Firefox re-starts and re-loads its tabs? (2) How do I quickly find which Firefox windows have a tab that is playing media? (3) How do I quickly find which Firefox tabs are playing media? (4) How can YouTube videos be prevented from automatically starting when a Firefox web page with that video is re-loaded?

While I was away in June/July (2024) my Thunderbird email appearance changed. I used to be able to search my emails by sender, recipient, subject, or body (text) but now there is just a little search window in the upper right that does not allow much searching at all. Is there any way I can get back my ability to search?? Please?

bold text THUNDERBIRD EMAILS. Keep telling me to long in to POP3with my password. Havent a clue. Have been trying to get help for 5 days now. jsmethurst@slingshot.co.nz.

Hi there, I have installed Fedora on a desktop and CAElinux on a laptop. In the laptop I have Thunderbird and for a while or subfolders were there. On the desktop I decided to try Kmail and all the subfolders disappear which most likely is because i didn't know much about Kmail. Then I tried using Thunderbird on the desktop with the same settings that where working on the laptop and the subfolders dissapear. Then I turned on the laptop while the desktop was on with Thunderbird on, and when i started Thunderbird on the laptop, the subfolders disappeared. Seems like a domino effect. Now all the email are shown in one big list, but only this years emails are shown. If I open the email on the internet through the email provider all the subfolders are still there. Now I have removed Fedora from the desktop and installed an identical setup as the laptop. I don't want to start Thunderbird on the desktop until i have recovered the subfoders and emails in the laptop and I know that I am following the right path. By the way the desktop is dual boot Windows / Linux and if I start Thunderbird under Windows all the subfolders and emails are there. Could someone please tell me how to recover the subfolders and emails running Thunderbird under Linux , thanks.

Deleting emails is super slow. How can I speed it up? I am on Windows 11, TB 128.1.1esr. This is excruciating! My connection is good, see my speedtest. This recently started happening, and I need a solution. Chris

I have two email accounts in thunderbird on windows 11. I want to remove and revert to saved passwords for my inbound and outbound servers. However when I either click on primary password a pop up says enter you current password which is not accepted. If I go to change primary password and enter current password and leave new password bland I get messsge saying currrnt password not correct. Meanwhile I am not getting any new messsges but open messages still appear in both accounts. Can you help me to revert to using saved PW’s?

Many years ago I had someone set up a Thunderbird email account on my PC which has worked just fine until recently when a Xfinity customer service agent advised me to clear my computer's cache. And, since the account was set up so long ago I can't remember the password so can't input that when the system asks me to do that. Hence, no more email, can't receive and can't send. I'm hoping someone can guide me and it's an easy fix because on a computer literacy 1-10 scale, I'm 2.5.

I have been receiving emails from "How to Geek" for many years. Now Thunderbird moves these emails to the Junk folder. I have already added & added again the email address to my contacts but it makes no difference.

I use Mozilla Firefox for work. Part of my work requires I use the GlobalProtect VPN client. When I log on to the VPN, everything appears to be fine. The problem arises when I log out of the VPN client, such as needing to switch to a different VPN.

When I log out of the VPN client, Mozilla slows down massively. I get the following errors when trying to access websites.

PR_END_OF_FILE Timeout

I thought it was a DNS issue, but the change I made previously did not prove to be a reliable fix, and I do not actually know the root cause of what is happening. Firefox returns to normal ONLY after a full computer restart. At this point I am considering switching browsers as, despite Firefox's functionality, it is starting to interfere with my work.

I have used other VPNs, such as Fortigate VPN, and not encountered anything like this.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

If this has been asked previously, my sincerest apologies. I couldn't find the answer. I have been an user of Thunderbird for personal and work email clients for roughly 2+ decades now. But I am stumped with recent behavior coming from thunderbird (mozilla email) for my private, professional email account. And I'm not a techie. I usually allow both Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird update automatically. And typically, there has been no issues other than to update/remove an add-in.

However, starting at around the end of July or beg of August, I have been seeing the following behavior: At certain points of the day including at startup, I get a set of pop-up windows from Thunderbird asking for access to my google account. I don't understand why thunderbird would want me to provide my google credentials when the email account that I'm using thunderbird for is neither an exchange (outlook.com or live.com) or my gmail.com account. It's my professional email address that is hosted by a third party. And when I click the deny button on both windows, it still pops up at some point during the day. It was annoying as 'heck' when I was with a client as it kept popping up. Don't know what I've done but I would like to know how to stop this popup window activity! I'll also add that if I close down thunderbird and then restart, the windows pop up almost instantly. So, any help would be welcome! I've attached screenshots of both windows with my email addresses highlighted out so anyone can see what I'm dealing with.

Firefox is labeling *.CSV downloads as "Firefox HTML Document."

I don't see *.CSV files in the "Applications" list for file handling.

The mime-type on the download is set server-side to "text/csv".

Server code (ASP.NET/VB):

With Response

   .ClearContent()
   .Clear()
   .Headers.Add("Content-Type", "text/csv")
   .Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", $"attachment; filename=""{TempFileName}""")
   .Headers.Add("Content-Length", My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(TempFileFullPath).Length)
   .TransmitFile(TempFileFullPath)
   .Flush()
   .Close()

End With

About once a week, Thunderbird displays the message "23,000 e-mails deleted from inbox" and starts downloading all the e-mail headers again for the IMAP account. It takes a while to do that, during which Thunderbird's response becomes sluggish. How can I stop it from doing that? It seems to me that once email headers have been downloaded, they should stay downloaded, and there should be no need to download them again.

First use of Thunderbird. Put credentials in and the app downloaded many emails going way back but stopped at 2020. No emails obtainable. Tried POP and no luck there as well. I can search all of th old mail but nothing recent. Have been using the Charter mail server.

I am using Thunderbird Beta 130.0b1 64-bit on Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22631. I have a KVM attached. My basic setup is, when the main PC (my home PC with the above specs) is connected to the KVM, I get my main monitor in the center screen with a secondary monitor on the left. When I switch the KVM, my center monitor shows the macbook on the right side (work monitor). When I switch back to the Windows 11 computer, everything goes back to the previous position except Thunderbird.

Here is something I've tried so far that seems to fix it, but it is odd that no other applications have this problem. If I make the secondary monitor on the left my primary monitor, and dock thunderbird on the left half of that monitor, when I switch the KVM to the macbook and back again, it seems to remember correctly where Thunderbird belongs (along with every other app). But if I go back to having the large center monitor the primary display, and switch the KVM away and back, everything goes back to where it was except Thunderbird for some reason.

I tried to run the system with the left monitor as the primary for a while and I use keyboard shortcuts too often which end up popping up items over on the side monitor all of the time which is more irritating. So I am wondering if there is something built into Thunderbird that specifically conflicts with remembering it's position when the KVM switches back.

It seems that the real problem is the fact that the center monitor is not only disappearing, but that the center monitor is switching between being the primary monitor and then suddenly being unavailable. Like Windows 11 is trying, only in the case of thunderbird, to remember it's last position relative to the primary monitor as opposed to its position relative to the last time the computer ran in a specific monitor configuration.

Thoughts? Should I report this to Microsoft maybe? Since this only happens with Thunderbird, is it something built into Thunderbird?

2 weeks ago my Thunderbird stopped downloading my emails. I didn't discover it till my wife told me she wasn't getting any emails. On both laptop and my desktop we can send emails but not receive them. Both of our computers are windows 11. After trying to figure this out and nothing works I thought I would try opening same accounts in Blue Mail ( which I not a fan ). I entered all the pop3 info for my account and in minutes it retrieved the emails so it's not the server. On my wife's laptop I tried adding the exact same account (in Thunderbird) and it worked. She has 2 identical accounts and one gets the mail and the other one doesn't. I tried the same on my computer as a work around but Thunderbird won't let me, it says after all the info is entered " account already exists". There is a very similar forum entry from a few years back on here, but fortunately she could just click on each account and click "get mail" and it would download her messages. Mine won't. I use no add-ons and use default theme. I also deactivated the firewall and anti-virus, still nothing. I still find it strange that 2 separate computers have the exact same problem simultaneously. I'm upset because I've been using Thunderbird for many, many years. I think I started using it 20 years ago. Thanks

My Thunderbird email was working fine on my PC at work when I left on vacation but quit working while I was gone (8/15/24). My email works fine on my Iphone and on the PC at home.

I recently migrated my files from one Mac to a new one. My emails were not all transferred ad one account is completely missing (it is not gmail). How can I (a) locate he missing emails and (b) migrate them to the new Mac?
