I know from visiting other forums that updates to Firefox have been released, but MSIX is not installing them - or even notifying me, much less asking if I want to install them. For example, Help > About Firefox shows that I am running V.129.0; yet I'm pretty sure that V.120.0.2 has been released.

Why? What can I do to ensure that I'm running the latest release?

I've restarted Firefox to see if that would work. It did not. I haven't rebooted to see if that works; but, even if it does, that seems to be a rather drastic effort to install a new version.

Hello

Recently my 'search messages' has become increasingly unreliable. This may have been since Nebula auto-installed, but I can't be certain. The problem has happened occasionally in the past, but never regularly.

I usually search all local folders and often now it doesn't find mails I know exist. It will sometimes find them if I then search a likely folder [and its subfolders]. But even when the result appears to be complete it often continues searching till stopped.

Please can you suggest any reasons and fixes?

Global search still seems to work, but it's hard to be sure, and it's far less user-friendly.

Thank you.

TB 115.14.0, Win 10 22H2, desktop PC, POP3 from gmail...

I select one of my gmail accounts in TB and click Get Messages. It downloads one or a few emails from gmail and then suddenly the Windows hourglass appears and the banner bar at top of screen which says: "Inbox - (email account)@gmail.com - Mozilla Thunderbird" shows (Not Responding). After ~10-15 sec, downloading resumes normally and all messages accessible.

Happens with all 3 of my gmail accounts and all use same settings: Server type: POP Mail Server Server Name: pop.gmail.com port 995 Connectivity Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAUTH2

No TB add-ons installed, Windows Scanning is disabled in TB, running Windows Defender. Lots of free disk space, 16 GB RAM...

Tried TB troubleshooting but nothing found. Have run various Windows checks (eg, DISM and sfc) with no errors and problem continues.

Suggestions?

Working on an iMac:

Yesterday, the Firefox browser started running insanely slow. So slow that we couldn't begin to use it anymore. We had to reinstall the Firefox browser a few times to get it working again.

Also, the Firefox Dev Edition browser, randomly crashed. Since then, it hasn't opened once for me. I've reinstalled the browser multiple times. Each time I attempt to open it, nothing happens, so we have to force close it.

Until today it worked fine. But now whenever I try to login to Xfinity I get You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. It works fine on Chrome and Edge. I have disabled my add-ons. I have cleared cache, cookies, etc. I have rebooted. I have turned off firewall. I have checked my DNS. I have changed the DNS protection to OFF in Firefox. I have checked my proxy setting (I have no proxy). I have reinstalled Firefox. Etc. Etc. Nothing works. The fact that it works on Chrome and Edge, that it has worked everyday until today gets me confused. I also tried using my mobile phone as a hot spot to make sure it wasn't related to my Internet connection or IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

cnbc.com will not allow me to sign in to my account. They want me to disable ad blockers, etc., except I don't have any ad blockers installed. Other times they deny my sign-in saying RECAPTCHA validation failed. I don't know if it has something to do with Mozilla Firefox or my virus protection (Bitdefender and Malwarebytes). The problem doesn't come up if I use another browser, like Google Chrome.

I need help debugging a problem with IMAP folder subscription.

One of my Gmail accounts on Thunderbird 115 keeps re-subscribing to "All Mail". This happens about every second day, and Thunderbird starts re-downloading all messages in the "All Mail" folder until I unsubscribe again.

My two other Gmail accounts for which I unsubscribed to "All Mail" do not have this problem.

I have unsubscribed from the "All Mail" IMAP folder several times (right-click on account > Subscribe ... > uncheck the "All Mail" folder > click OK). I have tried deleting OR not deleting the "All Mail.msf" file (while Thunderbird wasn't running, of course). I have tried refreshing the IMAP folder list (right-click on account > Subscribe ... > click Refresh). I compared the server settings of this account to settings of other accounts which don't automatically resubscribe, and found no difference. I cannot find why this account does this. Unfortunately, it's my most active account.

How can I find what causes this, and fix it?

Thanks,

- Martin

Across the top of my screen every one of my tabs just reads DuckDuckGo.

Instead of having the DDG logo and then the search I entered when the new tab opened, there is now no way to see what is on the tab. Even when I hover over the tab it still just says DuckDuckGo.

When I click on the plus button to add a tab, the tab opens with a blank page, which is how I have it set up. The logo on the far left of the tab is for Firefox.

DuckDuckGo is my default search engine, so after I type something into the search bar at the top in Firefox, the results are displayed from DDG, and the tab changes from Firefox logo + "New tab" to DDG logo + "DuckDuckGo".

Have a new 2024 macbook pro m3 max with 128GB internal memory, 8tb ssd, macos (meest recente update) , and glass fibre internet connection of 1gb up and 1gb down and have used the same router and same ISP.

i use firefox in combination with nordvpn and multicontainer add-on to open multiple tabs with on each tab/containter the same video stream of 720p/3mb. Used to work perfect until a few weeks ago. In the beginning there is no problem, but after a while stream start to stutter and freezes completely and i get a blackscreen;. Tried every quick fix on the internet, and even increased the cache. Also tried different machines and issue is the same on each macos device.

how can i fix this?

Many thanks for looking into this.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to view streaming live broadcasts in my country's public TV but the site detected some HDCP issue and asked me to use a HDCP-certified HDMI cable. Here is some quick info and what I had tried:

+ Besides privacy reasons, I am unable to share the website address, as viewing is limited to my country's IP addresses by the national broadcaster. + I have a dual-monitor set up to a Windows and a MacOS machine, both installed with Firefox 129.0.2 with add-ons being synced. + Viewing live videos on the same website in Windows Firefox (HDCP-certified cable) has no issue but not on MacOS Firefox (same HDCP-certified cable but different HDMI port on the monitor). + Switching around the different HDMI ports and cables yield the same outcome. + No issue on either Windows or MacOS when viewing recorded videos though. Only live streaming on MacOS is affected. + Tried disabling all add-ons and toggling DRM but to no avail. + Checked Widevine is latest version (4.10.2710.0).

Appreciate any advice or help please. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to copy the data from a PC running xubuntu 2022 onto one running Ubuntu 2024.

I'm following the instructions here (https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu-sn&q=moving+thunderbird+data+to+a+new+computer) and all seems to work up to and including "On your destination computer" step 7 (Close Thunderbird). Step 7 "From your Thunderbird profile folder in File Browser, go up two levels" - this sends me to "Common". Step 8 Right click inside the folder, then select Paste.

Here's the problem: we're not told what to click on, but I assume it's ".thunderbird", which only contains 11 items although apparently 348 were transferred. Clicking on empty space (I tried that in desperation) doesn't work. I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I can't see what that might be. Any suggestions gratefully received. In the meantime, I will keep trying and if I somehow get it to work I'll let you folk know.
