Are there no Add-ons/Extensions any more (115 and beyond) that support any kind of sync with Google/Yahoo/Outlook contacts? Not sure MS Outlook even supports such a thing any more, some kind of vulns in the CardDAV protocol (worked great in 2005-10 era)?

Also, like to report major bugs in the CSV import mechanism, the VCF import got everything right, but the CSV import interface is beyond kludgey; essentially put the columns in the wrong places, and the "dropdowns" had only one value, that the import routine had decided I was constrained to. I would suggest you drop it from the product unless it can be made a bit more "professional" than a junior school computer science project.

At one time I had a version of Thunderbird that would allow me to bring in my Outlook emails. Now, I can't find it. And when I try to use version 102 or 115 it keeps updating to 128.1. Mozilla thinks I'm on some kind of release channel - whatever that is! So, am I no longer going to be able to get those Outlook emails? Thanks.

Recently MalwareBytes has been flagging, MANY times a day, an attempt by Firefox 129.0.2 to go to CHHIMI.com. The message from MalwareBytes says it is being "blocked due to Trojan". This is an "outbound" type from C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

The only info I have been able to find about CHHIMI is that it is a very new website that does not use HTTPS validation. Allegedly has something to do with gaming. The only "gaming" I do is an occasional bout with an on-board (not on-line) Solitare.

So, the fundamental question I have is why is FireFox routing to CHHIMI.com and how do I stop it?

This is something that I've noticed for a while, but why is it that whenever I go to Twitch and try to open a live stream, it always comes out muted? This does not happen if I use Twitch on other browsers, or on my phone.

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.

Another program on your computer installed an add-on ... repeatedly with every restart

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

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?

Since a week ago, I cannot log into my accounts on Hostgator and Wise. The Hostgator is somehow compromised, likely thanks to the Firefox errors, and mu account ID does not exist, while my email account does (not the same). The result is that I cannot login on Chrome or Edge either. They are working on it. For Wise, it is very very strange. I can login with no problem on Edge and on Chrome. But on Firefox, after I put in my email and password and click LOGIN, nothing happens. Any ideas anyone?

I am running Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 20.04.4

Recently, I have been browsing a StackExchange site and hit the back button of the browser several times (still remaining on StackExchange). I then realized that upon the last button click, Firefox downloaded a weird HTML file called something like ha71ksd.htm. The file was empty (0KB) and when uploading it to VirusTotal it showed me a completely different file there (probably since the hash of an empty file is always the same).

In any case, I am a bit worried that I might have been infected by a virus. Therefore, I'd like to at least reproduce what happened. I read in different places that it might have something to do with a wrong MIME type reported by a server prompting Firefox to download instead of displaying a file. But Stackoverflow having such a misconfiguration is also strange. I know that a 0KB file cannot contain anything malicious but the whole incident seemed highly suspicious and I need to find out what happened.

Any help or tips are appreciated!

I am an older user, 83, with a severe hearing impairment and depend on email for communication. I don't know how Mozilla and Thunderbird are related. Midco is my internet provider For the past few months I have had some of the following problems. Currently Email is very slow to get started nothing on the screen except the upper bar with File, Edit, View, etc. below is another small bar with little boxes which need to be scrolled to the right to get "inbox" for messages if I access a message, I need to scroll all of those little boxes to the right again to get in box. It is quite time consuming and not like it used to be.

In the past new messages have been highlighted, now some are and some not and some embedded in an older message from that sender. i was gone for a week and usually have a number of messages to read, this last time away none of the messages sent while I was away appeared. I have several daily subscriptions which didn't show up highlighted like they used to. I made a $100 donation to Thunderbird at the beginning of the year hoping that would make the service better.

I am trying mozilla support for help. I do need email. Someone suggested I try Midco our internet provider or having a computer expert check this out on my computer

Thank you.
