I have encountered the following issue about a year now .I have been using Thundebird some years now and I have created my contact list . Even though I have added in the address book all the contacts I needed and named them as I wanted. When I receive a mail the correspodent appears differently from what I have named the contact.Propably as the person sent me the email have named himself.The same applies in sent mails as well.No matter what I did ,it seems like the database from the address book is not linked to the mail database whatever I do. Please advise

I have created a new Firefox profile. Now I want to copy my settings of the Developer Tools to this new profile. This should also include the custom device settings for the Responsive Design Mode. Is there a file (or files) in the profile-folder that contains these settings, and can I copy this file (or files) to the new profile? I found this link about copying profile files, but it doesn't mention devtools settings.

Restarted my PC and on boot found all my containers deleted. Bookmarks are fine. Browser settings are fine. Other Extensions and Addons are fine. Tabs from the last session were stll there. Everything else is all good. FireFox Multi-Account Containers is the only thing that's gone wrong.

Looking at my containers.json (my best guess on what to check) they're all back to default. There's no "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.

This happens ~3 times a year usually after an update or if there's a sudden shutdown due to power loss.

I've used FireFox Sync before and rather than helping, it ruined everything for no apparent reason. It duplicated the current containers, restored and duplicated old deleted containers and sites stopped using their designated containers.

It sucks. It really really sucks.

Is there a way to make local backups of containers and their designations? Just knowing exactly what to backup would be a massive help and make this a lot less distressing.

Hi Thunderbird-Team, I am using Thunderbird 128.5.0esr (64-Bit) on Linux (openSUSE Leap 15.5). When I want to attach a file to a written e-mail the file-selection dialog does no longer offer a line-edit-control where I can copy-paste an absolute path to the attachment file. I always have to click through the full directory path in order to specify the file that should be attached. Is there any chance to input a file path via keyboard or just by mouse-paste? Kind regards, Ove

When trying to save an attachment, the search function to find a folder doesn't find anything. Enter part of folder name into the box and press return and nothing happens. Thunderbird version 128.5.0esr. This is an urgent requirement as I have to save attachments for accounting purposes.

I am currently using Microsoft Edge and am looking for a new browser to use. I went through the trouble twice now in setting up Firefox the way I want to work and for it to open certain bookmarks every time I open it. But 2 times now I have closed Firefox and reopened it and each time it not only fails to open the bookmarks I have setup, it also loses the other settings I setup and acts like I am setting it up for the first time. If I can't get this problem fixed I guess I will start looking at other browsers.

Thanks, Mark

Hi all, I have an issue with Firefox for android version 133.0 When connecting to the VPN (F6 access), i see from f5 logs that my proxy pac is applied with port 3128 but: every connection is refused Can you help please?

Thanks

Despite working fine previously, the email sever has suddenly refused to log me in - giving this message.... "Log in to server imap.virginmedia.com with user name mike.brown297@ntlworld.com failed." I have not changed anything that I am aware of so what's wrong? It asks for a new password, but I haven't changed it? Please help!! Mike

Suddenly, the homepage has started overriding all my tabs. For example, I can be writing this and it will be gone and replaced with the homepage. Or, a new tab will pop up on its own with the homepage. This started yesterday. I've tried troubleshooting... I've tried redoing the settings... I've yelled a lot. Can someone please help me before they carry me off in a strait-jacket? Thank you!

Hey guys,

I'm using firefox mobile on a lenovo p11 tablet with android 11. Yesterday, everything was fine. This morning I'm opening firefox and every site I visit is huge. Like, really huge. It looks like it is zoomed in, but the max zoom out state is still huge.

It turns out that desktop mode doesn't work anymore, because firefox 133 was installed overnight on my tablet. If you toggle it in the 3 dot menu, the site just reloads but if you check the menue after that it's deactivated again. This happens with the new option (always load desktop mode under website settings) on and off.

Most mobile sites are terrible on tablets since most of the screen real estate is completely wasted by way too big fonts, sidebars, etc.

Is there a workaround for this?

Also, is this a known issue, or should I report it on bugzilla or something?

Cheers

Depuis quelques jours, lorsque je demande de relever les messages (car je n'ai pas paramétré thunderbird pour qu'il le fasse automatiquement à l'ouverture) s'affiche en bas de page un message du genre "téléchargement de 6 messages" par exemple puis "chargement du message x sur 6" par exemple (avec x = 1 puis 2 ...). Or, la plupart du temps, il y a bien moins de messages qui sont à télécharger. Il me semble cependant que le nombre de messages qui sont téléchargés est correct (je dis cela en ayant examiné ma boite aux lettres chez le fournisseur d'accès à Internet). Cette situation m'inquiète à chaque fois : ce qui est annoncé n'est pas ce qui se réalise ! Y aurait-il un réglage à effectuer dans les paramètres ? Merci pour l'attention portée à ma demande

Bonjour J'essaie de configurer ma boîte mail thunderbird free.Il me marque connexion impossible , configuration , identifiant ou mot de passe incorrect .Je suis bloqué .Quelqu'un peut-il me renseigner pour débloquer la situation. Par avance merci
