I rarely go online so I simply use my phone's tether connection the few times I do. I recently upgraded to a new phone and 5G service. Now I discover I can no longer get onto the internet via either tethering or hotspot. The phone connects with the desktop okay and the two devices know about each other but Firefox cannot find any servers. It worked just fine under 4G. Luckily I did a software update of Firefox on my desktop before the new phone and used it a couple of times so I know it is fully up to date. My desktop is Linux mint but I don't think the pblm is there. I am suspicious it is the handshaking that the browser has to do with the 5G network.

Has anyone tried this yet?

I only go out on the inet from my desktop a few times a month so I previously just tethered the phone and got online that way.

I just upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy S24 which is a 5g connection. I can no longer get the desktop Firefox (130.0) to connect thru to the inet. The phone and desktop know about each other and I can xfer files back and forth. The phone uses Firefox android no palm.

Has anyone tried this yet? Is there some kind of phone setting for 5g? I had no trouble at all with old phone (android 4) 4g connection.

Thanks in advance

I know how to add a new contact to address list so don't need that again - that is the advice I'm given every time I try and find an answer on line - from your web site also. My problem is, that after entering new contact name and other details, the entry box for the email address(bottom of the list) is hidden (or the panel which holds those details is too narrow to allow for the email entry box to show.??). With the occasional problems I have, and the time spent sorting them out, I'm starting to think of installing another mail program. I will appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks and Kind Regards, Colin Churchill

Hello,

Even though [replied in another similar thread] that I have the same issue, I'm making another one 'cause it seems pretty dead.

Since ver 128 Nebula, some mails (sorted in a labeled folder) appear totally white / blank and I don't know why. They appear perfectly fine when viewed from my provider's webmail service (Gandi SOGo), but not in Thunderbird. But here's the thing: they appear fine from the sent folder after I replied to them (via the webmail).

I've already tried restarting in safe mode with all modules disabled, to no success.

Hello,

In Thunderbird I created many filters too get my incoming mails organized. The majority of my incoming mails are re-directed to sub-maps within 'Local Folders.

I sometimes want to know to which map I re-directed incoming mails, and open the related filter definition. As path indication I unfortunately I can only find the word 'Local Folders' (which is right), but not the full path to which messages are re-directed. Can somebody please provide me a solution, thanks?

I have an email account ...@outlook.de. I haven't been able to send emails for a few days. Email reception works. SMTP-Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 STARTTLS OAuth2 Errormessage: Failed to send message. The message could not be sent because the connection to the SMTP server smtp-mail.outlook.com failed. The server is either unavailable or refusing SMTP connections. Please check the SMTP server settings and try again.

Im trying to change some folder text color pernamently, regardless of new or unread messages. I tried something like this for inbox but it seems to be depreciated.

1. folderTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, newMessages-true){

color: red !Important; }

What would be the correct way?

I attached a file which TB correctly showed to be 23.3MB in size. (FileLink's not an option.) But when I clicked on Send, it asked me if I'm sure I want to send an attachment of file size 31.9MB! The initial size would have gone through. Gmail would not accept the latter size. How did the size grow by nearly 8MB?!

Hello. I bought the Williamston Inn. The old website was at Squarespace. I hired a new company to create a new website. I thought everything was going to seamlessly transfer...LOL. I then canceled and transferred hosting to GoDaddy. I have an issue only with Firefox where it says SEC Certificate Revoked. I am somewhat tech savvy, but this has me stumped. I have cleared cookies, history, cache and even asked both the Logo House and GoDaddy for ideas. Please help.

Hi,

Recently, I have noticed that when using Firefox, if I try to view an embedded YouTube video on sites that I visit regularly, instead of the embedded video playing, I now get a message on the video window that says, "Sign-in to confirm you are not a Bot. However, there is no option to 'sign-in', so I am not able to view the video. (screenshot attached)''

I did a little testing and discovered 2 things which I thought were noteworthy:

1) If I turned-off my VPN (Norton), then the embedded video plays in Firefox without any issues.

2) If I access the same site within the Chrome browser then the embedded video play regardless of whether I have the VPN service On or Off.

Strange, but true !!

I cannot find any Firefox Settings that address this issue.

Any clues?

Thanks.

Why are we still deluding ourselves that Firefox is a competitor to Chrome, when it's really Google's weapon against competition itself?

Mozilla is not a rights activist. It's a Surveillance Valley theatre group renting its brand names, spyware and lobbying capacity to Google on pain of death. The whole idea that Firefox is a last bastion of light in the fight against monopoly is a joke. But we're so neck-deep in monopoly that all we have left is that delusional fantasy.

I hope this reaches the core of Firefox.

My Thunderbird version is 128.2.3esr (64-bit) running on Windows 10.

My Thunderbird shows the following folder tree Local Folders / MailStore Export / Outlook gmail / Organizations / _Service Providers / Health Providers / Cleveland Clinic (Sports Medicine Specialists) - Shelagh Baker - Mailstore says the folder contains 913 email messages - the folder shows as empty in Thunderbird

Windows Explorer has the following folder tree: C:\Users\Sam\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\ardwce2w.default-esr\Mail\Local Folders\MailStore Export.sbd\Outlook gmail.sbd\Organizations.sbd\_Service Providers.sbd\Health Providers.sbd - this folder includes a 38 files that seems to represent the 19 email folders in the Health providers Thunderbird directory (two files per folder) - the two files representing the email folder "Cleveland Clinic (Sports Medicine Specialists) - Shelagh Baker" are "Cleveland Clinic (Sports Medicine Specialists) - Shelagh Baker" and "Cleveland Clinic (Sports Medicine Specialists) - Shelagh Baker.msf" - The Windows Explorer size of the first file (with no extension) is 213,019 KB; when I open this file, I can see text that matches the content of emails that I see in this same folder in Mailstore

My Conclusions: 1) The email "raw data" exists in the file system 2) For some reason, the Thunderbird client is not "seeing" these emails and thinks there are no emails in this folder.

Other Information: 1) I have stopped and restarted Thunderbird several times, but still no emails 2) At one time Thunderbird showed two folders named "Cleveland Clinic (Sports Medicine Specialists) - Shelagh Baker". Neither of these folders showed any emails. I deleted one of the folders from within Thunderbird. Later I noticed there were also two folders in the corresponding Windows Explorer directory. One was empty, so I deleted it (it is now in Windows Trash folder). The name is "Cleveland Clinic (Sports Medicine Specialists) 0554d8b9"

I'm hoping somebody can provide suggestions on what I can try so that the emails are visible within this folder. Thanks in advance!

Good day, Thank you for your time, its much appreciated So My primary email account provider only permits me to receive but not send emails. Consequently I had to load Gmail in order to send mail. However in spite of all the correct settings gmail also refuses to send. Can you please resque me from this frustration.

Thunderbird v115.7.0 (32 bit) Win7 (32 bit) SP1.

I am trying to add another account, but when I fill in the account info (name, email address, and password,) it pops up an oauth2 verification window but the window "Fails to connect"

The title of the window is "Enter Credentials for (email address) on imap.comcast.net.

After some time, I get a "unable to connect" message.

I managed to copy some of the url, here is the beginning part https://oauth.xfinity.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=thunderbird-oauth&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Femail.comcast.net%2F+profile+openid&code_challenge_method=S256&code_challenge=xhwuKlnA_c...

This has happened before for Google accounts too.

Is there a fix?

Thanks, Mark.

Windows desktop Just updated to Version 128.2.3esr | Released September 20, 2024 When I select a message and click on the delete button, Thunderbird hangs forever.

Is there a way to revert to the previous version?

Thanks

Hello, sorry, but Thunderbird has been a real pain for a few months! It takes up to 10!!! starts for everything to display correctly. I'm really thinking about changing. See the crazy screenshots! Best Regards Ronnie

Hi there,

Firefox is my default browser but increasingly (once a week I guess) I have to use chrome to access some sites. This happens with firefox only, (not other browsers) on some sites. The latest site is https://www.skyscanner.ie/. (see screenshot below).

Any ideas?

Thanks Andrew

My environment is windows 11 on a lenovo yoga slim7X using the ARM64 chipset

For a year or more, and more often lately, I'm getting the E-mails that contains what I call "machine language", for example:

Hi everyone! I completely cleaned TB (using BCUninstaller) from the system, reinstalled, and it still won't add a google account. Tried different ways several times. I never had any problems with gmail in previous versions. Been using it for over a decade.

Before that, I had the previous TB. I decided to uninstall it completely and put the latest clean version to set everything up again.
