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.

Apologies if this is a recurring topic but couldn't find a reply that I could understand or was useful. I exported my bookmarks via HTML file and imported them to another laptop. They are showing in Bookmarks Menu > Bookmarks Toolbar but not on actual Toolbar. Sorry but non tech answer please.

Hello

This is not a question but for enlightement.

Sorry if I've done wrong whenever. I may have manipulated the session time on the first page that appear when clicking the Fozilla browser button.

And sorry if I've manipulated the session time here also

And if I've done it in one of the support pages, very likely one this one: https://accounts.firefox.com/oauth/?response_type=code&scope=openid%2Bemail%2Bprofile&client_id=30b11ae57025e70b&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.mozilla.org%2Ffxa%2Fcallback%2F&state=Gg4DpRxRFAzrGXBccfpUvdHhIjFND8Am&access_type=offline

By manipulating I mean staying longer than I really intended in order to manipulate how long you seen that I have stayed on a page.

Sorry that I anyways acted in a foolish way by thinking that I'd manipulate it or whatever, regardless if I meant it or not.

Thanks and all the best Simon Isaksson

I am not sure whether this is normal or not. I have never noticed this before, however i am a bit concerned. So about a week ago i was hacked, and i removed all the files and everything, and managed to get past with 0 damage. I installed Avast to scan for viruses and i have been using it ever since then, but it keeps blocking something from opening and i don't know what it is or whether its normal. It used to only block a blacklisted URL called: " 1.awakened.work". It scared me a bit so i went to check on the IP for the website and a bunch of information on what it is but i found nothing that meant anything to me. I uninstalled Firefox a few times and reinstalled it. I even completely removed all the files related to Mozilla but once i reinstalled it then 4 web URL's tried to open and got blocked named:" 1.awakened.work", "1.foreground.work", "1.6912044.cc" and "listitnow.org". I have no idea what these do or are and i came here to ask whether anyone knows how to stop them from even trying to open. When i removed Mozilla then they didn't try to open and only tried to open while i had Mozilla. I looked at the location of the files and it says they are the Firefox.exe so i don't know. I really love using Mozilla but if i can't fix this, then i will have to use GX.

I type something in Firefox, say "mice". A Google search string appears in the address bar, but it is greyed out, and nothing else happens. I have to go to that bar and hit Return to get to the search results. After this has happened once, everything appears to work as expected until I close the browser. On reopening, the problem has returned.

Running W10 on PC, no problems on other programs, on TB for at least 10 yrs. For past week TB has taken up to 15 seconds to delete or send some messages (not all). I thought this might be 3,500 messages in Sent folder so deleted oldest half of these. No difference, then I noticed that TB has deleted all my sent messages since May this year. Now it won't put my sent messages into the sent folder, they just disappear, and TB still delays on deleting or sending. Have tried repair button on inbox and sentbox, no difference. My wife remains on 115.14.0 without problems (so far!) I have just seen that v.128 has self-installed, could this be the problem?

I am facing an issue where i sometimes search but it doesn't load. Its as if the links breaks. Refreshing doesn't work. I open a new tab and sometimes it works or i spam my search then it loads.

Its getting to the point where i face this issue i open Chrome to do my search. Which is inconvenient I started facing this after i updated. Please may I get assistance.

My situation is similar to:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1410815

but that thread is archived.

Problem: I opened the Downloads folder and meant to click 'Organize' but I accidentally clicked 'Clear Downloads'. All the names in the Downloads list are now gone and I want to bring them back.

Situation: I did not want to clear the Downloads list, all I wanted to do was learn what options were listed in the 'Organize' button. I was hoping there might be an option to have past Downloads (the names on the Downloads list, not the downloaded files themselves) sorted by date and by domain. But now all the names in the Downloads list are gone. I don't want this to happen again so what's the best solution for this problem?

cor-el says (in page linked above) that a backup of 'places.sqlite' can recover the Downloads list. I copied that file to my Desktop but I'm guessing that it's too late for this file to be of any use now, as I did this only *after* the Downloads list was cleared.

The information I've read about the places.sqlite file (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional , https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data , and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile#w_bookmarks-downloads-and-browsing-history) seems to focus mainly on its relation to Bookmarks, not Downloads. Does everything that article say about restoring Bookmarks also apply to restoring Downloads?

I haven't made a backup before in Firefox specifially but my system (Linux) took a system snapshot (Timeshift) before this mistake happened. Would reverting the system to the previous snapshot allow me to access the old places.sqlite-wal file that has the now-missing Downloads list?

Also, is there a way to customize the appearance of Downloads window? I'd like to add some space between the 'Organize' button and the 'Clear Downloads' button. If I could have them separated just a little bit more, I think it might help to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

In the meantime, I'm thinking of writing a script that regularly backs up the places.sqlite-wal file so that if this happens again, I can just use the backup. But as of now I'm uncertain that it will do what I need it to do.

Any help is appreciated. I hope I've provided enough information to make this report clear. If any needed info is missing, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hy ! The version of TB y run is 128.1.0esr (32 bits) under Windows 10. I am a user since 2005. Under "disk space in "local folders", I have (translated) " never delete messages"

While seaching old messages, I just discovered that, although theses messages appear in the list of messages of local folders, there is a lot of theses local folders where, when I click on a message in the list, a window opens whith an empty content.

This does not occur the same way for all the folders : for example, in one of them, the messages dated 2005 do not open (they appear in an empty window), while messages dated 2006 and earlier open as usual. Other example, in another folder, containing messages dated 2008 to 2010, not any opens in another way than an empty window.

I have tried to ask my question in the mozilla forum the 15 th august, but no answer. That is why I try on this site. I have translated here the question I posted on the mozilla forum in French, my native langage, and I hope it will be understandable ...

==> Do you have an idea of why this happens and what I should do see again the content of these precious old messages ( my genealogy and others)

Best regards, GV, Cannes, France

The operating system: Windows 10. The content of messages in the inbox or in the sent folder disappears. Emails from a continuous period are disappearing, for example, now they have disappeared from 12th July at 9:45 to 22nd August at 12:13. The messages are visible on the list, but they have no content. They had content before. Moreover, when I deleted all the emails from such a folder, its file size on the disk did not decrease to 0. The problem started to appear the day before yesterday. It had never happened before. How can I fix this problem?

Hello!

I´m having some really weird issues opening mail with attachments. Sometimes they open normally and other times the mail body is just an endless stream of random characters and it slows down Thunderbird drastically.

These mails are in my local folder and saved from a Gmail account.

I downloaded the latest version for my mac and now when I open a new window or webpage like Gmail as soon a it loads it crashes. How do I fix this? Like if I open a new tab and say I select the weather. As soon as the web page loads it crashes.

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as your Mac uses macOS.
