Hi,After many years of excellent use, thunderbird keeps crashing just recently with a "I'm sorry" popup. I seem to get about 20-30 secs of use each time I click to open it again. It receives emails and send them (provided I am super quick) and crashes. I would put myself in the low PC literacy camp as well and truly retired. ta david

Firefox was working well on my desktop computer until I used Avast software to "optimize the computer. Now the only software I can bring to the screen is AOL email.

Firefox is working well on my husband's laptop. So the problem has to be solely on my desktop. And is probably due to optimizing performance. I checked Avast but the Help claims no problems occur when optimizing.

Right now, I get an error of a Tab being broken.

Right now I am using Google Chrome but I would prefer to get this Firefox problem fixed.

The Firefox app I am using is the latest version, 134.0.1

I was browsing normally when suddenly the right click menu stoped doing anything. If I right click it still opens but nothing I click on does anything. I can't copy, paste, open a link in a new tab etc. It also appears to have new options on the menu that I don't recognise. I have no extentions or pluggins exept what comes default so I doubt it's that.

I tried in another browser and it worked fine so it's just firefox.

Firefox desktop switches to tablet mode when not needed

Dear,

Since two days, my firefow desktop browser (windows 11 - surface pro) switches to tablet mode (larger address bar suggestions etc) when the computer should be in desktop mode.

Situation: - Surface tablet without type cover connected - docking sation usb -c - 2 external displays connected - bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected

Windows recognizes 'desktop mode' since all menus (taskbar e.g.) are behaving in desktop mode (not larger). However, Firefox for some reason switches to tablet mode (see image attached). When I connect the typecover keyboard, firefox switches to desktop mode.

So it seems as if FF thinks the PC should be in tablet mode because the typecover is not connected. But it shouldn't because a dock is connected.

It worked perfectly for years, but since two days not anymore. It is not a major issue, but rather inconvenient. I already restarted PC and reinstalled FF.

kind regards

Jan

I received the following error message when trying to connect with a site which I have been using for several years. The advice below the error message directs me to contact the site owner, but I can't do so if Firefox will not let me access the site. What to do?

When attempting to perform a google search, if I include the text "c++" in my search, the "++" is always chopped off. It doesn't matter where it is in the search text and also happens if it is the only thing in the search. This also happens if i choose a suggested search topic that has the ++ in the search topic. I do not experience this with Edge and i do not experience this with Firefox installed on another computer. I am signed into the same profile with both computers. I am running Windows 11.

I can repro this issue with +, #, and &. Other special characters seem fine.

For a couple of days, I am having an issue when trying to play videos. This happens regardless of where the video comes from : Youtube, Instagram, Tik Tok, CNN, etc

If the sound is ON, the video will remain on its first image and appears to be buffering. The moment I mute the sound, the video starts playing in totally normal way in terms of speed, quality and buffering.

I have cleared the cache and it appeared to come back to normal, but happiness is ephemeral and the issue returned shortly after.

What should I do to get back to normal once and for all?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I have used Thunderbird with Yahoo (email and calendar) for many years. Never had any problems with email syncing, but calendar was always a bit more difficult. At first it was caldav, but around 2023 it stopped working, so I moved to following instructions: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4075.html

This stopped working late last year and never managed to find what the problem is...

Searching for a solution found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1460558

but on reflection, this doesn't work for me (caldav) plus trying to use "Provider for Caldav" I am being told that it is not compatible with my version of Thunderbird (102.11.0 64-bit)

so here is where get to:

A number of times during the day, when I'm on my email account a window interrupts me to verify my account ( photo attached) After I follow all prompts repeatedly over many times a strange series of slashes cross the top of my window and it asks me if I want to go back to my previous last email. I can not proceed with my activity. So I close the computer and wait a couple of hours and try to start up, BUT my password box is filled with dots. I am unable to continue. So I wait longer. When I do get access it all starts over again. Is this you or google doing this? I have been with Thunderbird for years, and I hate the idea of having to go through Google to use you. Yesterday it locked me out of my computer in total. Need help!

I asked bout this a couple of weeks ago but didn't get a response. Perhaps I asked under the wrong heading. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to these things. Over the holidays I prepared many emails to send afterwards. I created sub-folders in my drafts folder. I sent the emails OK, but then I couldn't delete the folders I created in the drafts folder. Not only that but the folder icons in Drafts turned from yellow to purple and they did that in all four of my email accounts, even though my storage of emails was all in one single account. When I right click on the folders I don't get the option to delete and the folders won't allow being dragged to trash. Also one of the folders suddenly disappeared with all of the prepared email in it. Can you help me correct this condition? Thanks.
