I've always used Firefox without signing up on it and I've had no issues, but now that I have signed up my history never saves. Every time I close Firefox the history completely resets (It's only the history, all other data gets saved). There was 1 time in the beginning where my history suddenly restored itself, but I wasn't able to replicate that since.

Life long outlook user and switched to Thunderbird a year ago. It has its quirks and I have learned to deal with them so all good. I run a micro business from home and totally rely on apps. The only app that is local is Thunderbird. All others are cloud-based. Wondering if Thunderbird will develop a cloud platform alongside the local app? Happy to pay a subscription.

and I immediately began scrambling to get it back. I found this somewhere: "Don't Delete Files" is the preferred option because it saves the old profile's folder and allows you to recover the files to a new profile. So that gave me hope because that's what I had clicked (unfortunately, it was right before I saw the cancel button over on the right). That's what I get for being in a hurry I guess.

Anyhow, after 4 days of reading support forums and tons of trial and error, I'm no closer to restoring that profile than when I first started (although I've learned a lot about what does NOT work).

Btw, both my profiles have always been set up as POP3 at Gmail, although if I ever get this current problem sorted out I'll be shopping for a different POP3 provider. But that's another story.

I know how to create a new profile with Profile Manager. And I found the Profiles folders under both Thunderbird folder as well as ThunderbirdOLD folder. Have I been on the right track so far?

In the Thunderbird/Profiles folder, I don't see a folder with the deleted profile name (except the new ones (duds) I've since created ). On the other hand, I don't see the name of the profile that I did NOT delete either, but somehow it seems to be working just fine. Maybe it's the ".default" folder or ".default-release" folder? I've only ever had two profiles and I may have created the non-deleted profile first, so did that one end up being named .default? -shrug- I have no clue.

Anyhow, in the ThunderbirdOLD/Profiles folder, I also see ".default" as well as ".default-release" folders too. But in addition, I'm seeing a ".deletedprofile" named folder. So that's where I originally thought my several dozen email folders with several thousand emails and Address Book etc are hiding. But I've copied all the above mentioned folders into the several new Profiles I've created, on a trial and error basis but so far..... no luck. All I get when I open one is the new set up screen to set up a new pop3 account.... which I can do, but that's just starting from scratch without any of my saved data. I'm running out of ideas.

Where am I going wrong?

I was prompted by my phone to review Firefox, and on a whim wrote "Slightly annoying how it'll sometimes just refuse to load a page, at least on my old phone, but still my favorite browser" I received a "developer response" requesting that I ask a question in here to investigate further. Issue is, I just got a new phone, so the bug might not occur on this new one - it's not something that happens all that often, but it's my impression that it's something that'll happen if the Firefox app has laid dormant in the background of my phone for a long time and I tab back into it. It was always fixed with a quick restart. My old phone was a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G, if that matters. Again, it *might* occur on this phone too, it just hasn't yet, I just can't say for sure, as it's not something that happens all that often, but still often enough to be a little annoying. I can't reproduce it on my old phone because every single pixel in the screen is dead, hence the new phone. So there's no way I could test it.

I am trying to submit a new Add-on, Firefox requires to add 2 factor authentication, and when I am trying to do that and enter code it tells me that is wrong even I am sure it is right. I tried many times with many auth app on my phone Hope to solve that to submit my Add-on

Windows 10, Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit)

I lost an SSD, from which most data was recovered in some form or another. The original profile is recovered, and original files of type .mozmsgs, .sbd, .msf, plus others, matching original local folder structure. Files in the folder types have the structure as if you looked at individuals in the Thunder profile dir on a working copy of Thunderbird.. something like this header:

From - Wed Nov 28 09:22:03 2018 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Mozilla-Keys: Return-Path: <southwestairlines@luv.southwest.com> Delivered-To: dave.vandenberg@comcast.net Received: from dovdir1-poa-06o.email.comcast.net ([69.252.207.4])

My current Thunderbird will not open these files, nor is there an option to import, unless I want to import the entire profile, which I am reluctant to do at this stage. If this action appended to or added to my current Thunderbird, I think I could be ok with that.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

http://164.100.251.16/DigitalSevaConnect Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 164.100.251.16.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

I updated to version 129.0 and Hulu stopped streaming and news video imbedded in news articles will no longer load. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox and cleared all cache. It is affecting my desktop and laptop. Both operating systems are windows 10 64 bit. I made sure the Firefox download was 64 bit. The problem is not the websites as they will load and attempt to load content but it behaves as if it is being blocked. It is not my antivirus because I have turned is off and there is no difference.

I am being inundated with alerts saying firefox has been compromised & viruses have been detected. They want me to click on various links which I won't do of course. I am about ready to uninstall Firefox altogether. Hate to do since I will lose everything. Please help!

Google search engine suddenly stopped working on my Firefox app on my laptop. Please tell me how to fix this. I have already checked settings and Google is the preferred/default search engine.

Hello, I'm Christian. I am still facing issues changing my Thunderbird into an IMAP account, for following reasons: -exporting the existing is OK -creating the IMAP account is OK -Reimporting the messages from previous POP3 account difficult, because: -when using the import fonction, a local folder is being created with a directory three that looks liked the previous Dir structure I had previously. But transfering the folder and files proves difficult, the copy/paste function does not work properly so I can't just click and drag. My thunderbird folder is approx. 20g, could that be the reason? Furthermore, I cannot delete the previous POP3 account or the local folders. Any idea why? I actually do have a thunderbird account (POP3) comprises of 4 differents email addresses, I can delete 3, but not the last one as it appears to be the default one. Thanks a lot for your support, much appreciated. Christian

Hi, I am using windows 10 pro and i use thunderbird for my emails. Can you please tell me how i can easily backup to a usb and how i can check if its done correctly? Thank you

Good evening, since I switched to the latest version of FireFox (129.0), I can no longer stream movies or live shows on Mycanal, only Netflix works. In addition, my Google searches sometimes don't come up, the tab opens and nothing happens. When I receive a link by Mail and I click on it, it doesn't work. I've been using FireFox for 15 years and this is the first time I've encountered these problems (I specify that I have the Avast one antivirus), could this be the cause? Can you help me solve this problem? Thank you.

I have two Firefox windows open, one on my Macbook Pro and one on my external monitor. When I click a link in Obsidian, Firefox always opens it in the laptop's window. Is there a way to configure Obsidian (or maybe Firefox) so that links open in the Firefox window on my external monitor?

There are many answers to the question of how to disable message threading. All are from earlier versions than mine, which is 115.7.0 -- as witnessed: Sorry! 0 results found for ‘disable threading in version 115.7.0’ for ‘Thunderbird'

Thunderbird seems to have so many minor changes and alterations in the recent past, that basic usability is affected. Not a good thing.

Once before, a few years ago, Thunderbird got so out of control that I had to go to a different mail client. Are we back to that?

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick
