I am using thunderbird on the Win 11 desktop. If I minimize the thunderbird program's window, does it continue to run when the computer sleeps? If I close the thunderbird program's window, does that stop the program?

Every time I run Thunderbird, it appears to lose its IMAP connection(s) after 10-15 minutes. I've tried varying the number of cached connections from 1 to 10 with no difference in behavior.

Restarting Thunderbird will restore connectivity temporarily, until the entire process starts over again.

It seems to be correlated to saving a copy of sent messages. The sending process times out while the message is being saved to the Sent folder after the SMTP sending is complete.

Once this happens, new mail doesn't appear, moving mail between folders has no effect, and some (but not all) messages can't be retrieved from the server.

This is an odd one I've not encountered before. I have TB installed on 2 laptops at home. They are up-to-date with 128.6.0 installed, and both are using the same wi-fi system.

All of a sudden a few days ago, TB on one of the laptops, but not the other, became noticeably slow in deleting messages. It now takes a few seconds for what before always happened instantly (and still does on the other laptop).

Not the end of the world but it's annoying and I'm hoping there's an easy fix.

Thanks for any help.

Greetings. I have Windows 10 Home and have used Firefox for my primary browser for many years. I recently noted that by opening Firefox and looking at my task manager it shows 14 processes running. This causes my memory usage to jump significantly from the 50's into the 70's. The performance on searches,etc. seems okay. I recently added Browser Guard and was wondering if that was the reason for the jump in memory usage. As a side note I ran an update on Onedrive and now I have a white circle with a check mark on the desktop shortcut that I use for Firefox ... Thanks to all for any assistance regarding these questions ....

Current browser version: Firefox (Android)134.0 (Build #2016064983), hg-b8005f63d9eb+ GV: 134.0-20241230151726 AS: 134.0 ___

Hello everyone,

Previously, it was possible to configure Firefox so it would stay in the background while opening tabs from links activated in other apps. Thus, said apps would stay in the foreground until Firefox is called to the front.

The desired result was achieved by editing the setting `browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground` in "about:config", which is no longer available.

If such a configuration is yet possible, how is it achieved?

Thank you.

I like to read our local paper, the San Diego UT, but the scroll wheel no longer works in Firefox. Works with other browsers. Is there something in settings that can correct this?

I am multi-layout language keyboard user. During editing text in javascript textbox (such as editing sheet name in Google sheets) in Firefox, when I pressed win-space to switch language:

1. expected behavior: I can continue editing my text with keyboard layout switched

What happened instead:

1. keyboard layout is switched 2. a space character is added the to the text. and got popped out of text editing mode

Is there anything I can do about this issue? Please help.

Thank you

Hi,

We are encountering an issue with how document.referrer behaves in Firefox. In our application, we track the source of traffic using document.referrer. While this functionality works consistently in Safari and Chrome, it does not produce the expected results in Firefox most of the time. For comparison:

   In Safari and Chrome, document.referrer reliably provides the referring URL, as expected.
   In Firefox, the value is often empty or incorrect, leading to inconsistent tracking results.

I’ve attached a screenshot that demonstrates the issue for your reference.

Issue Details with Screenshots:

   Direct URL Open (Expected Behavior)
   In the first screenshot, we directly open the URL. As expected, document.referrer is empty because there is no referrer when the URL is opened directly.

   Screenshot 1: https://app.screencast.com/hgdoASFVXaozl

   Clicking a Link (Unexpected Behavior)
   In the second screenshot, we click on a link from within our site. When we check document.referrer in the file, it still shows as empty, which is incorrect. The referrer should reflect the URL of the linking page.

   Screenshot 2: https://app.screencast.com/CzJZLBUJET9XQ

This discrepancy is impacting our ability to accurately track traffic sources.

Additional Note:

I intended to report this issue on Bugzilla, but I have not received the account verification email despite waiting for 3-4 days. Without access to my Bugzilla account, I’m submitting the issue here instead.

Please let me know if you need further clarification or additional examples.

This discrepancy is impacting our ability to accurately track traffic sources. We believe there might be a bug causing this behavior and would appreciate it if your team could investigate.

Thank you for your support and looking forward to your feedback!

I have have just come across this information and have no idea what add on it is referring to. I'm not one that uses much in the way off add ons. Here I am, 79 next month. I have only my desktop PC. I don't own/use a mobile phone, ipad or any other devices. I use my PC for emails and using the net for research, general information, buying products, ecards etc. I play a couple of games, Lovatts puzzles (3 games), jigzone, word wipe from Washington Post. If I have taken on/used an add on it was with limited knowledge and it certainly was not my intention to cause any problem. Does the block also mean that I am not protected from viruses or malware etc? Please let me know the outcome of your decision. Thanking you in advance. Kind regards, Rhonda Macrae. rhondamacrae46@gmail.com

For about a year I have, several times, tried to use a link or a pop up that doesn't work in Firefox but can be accomplished in Safari. Today, I used a credit card to pay for something on the UFT.org website. It worked. I needed to make another purchase on the same website and page but I got a message that there was an error with my credit card info. I tried again. I tried another credit card. I signed out and back in and repeated everything and still got the same message. I copied the url, went to Safari, pasted the url, entered my info and was successful in making the payment. I am using Firefox 133.0.3. What might be happening to cause these problems?

My Thunderbird client stop receiving email from the ATT account sometime late December. I don't check email every using Thunderbird client. I've since have created a new secure mail key using ATT site. This solved problem in prior years. I also change the server names from pop.att.yahoo.com to inbound.att.net and from smtp.att.yahoo.com to outbound.att.net and I still can't download email. I don't see any message in the bottom status bar/area.

Sometimes I can easily move an email in Thunderbird by dragging and dropping from one folder to another. And other times, it simply won't move to the folder of my choice. I have also tried the right click on the email and choose MOVE to the local folder, but still the email won't move.

I have just migrated my Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird but some of the old WLM emails are not in the folder that they should be on Thunderbird.

When I select a folder with the columns and column widths set the way I want, then do "Apply current view to > Folder and its children > Local > Local" Thunderbird applies the view to some, but not all, folders. Even if I target a problem folder and explicitly attempt to apply the desired current view to it, it doesn't work. If I create a new blank folder as a sub-folder of a folder that *does* accept current views, I can't apply the current view to the sub-folder. It retains what appears to be a default view.

I can't see any difference between folders that accept "current view" and those that do not. Any suggestions? Or is there a way to set the default view (i.e., columns and column widths, not just sort order) for new folders?
