Hi, apologies I'm not very computer-literate, but my gmail has stopped allowing attachments such as images or files (just keeps saying attachments failed). I cleared a lot of old (large) emails from my email account and freed up a lot of space - but I still can't add attachments. I've checked Firefox and it's up to date - as are my ad blockers. Is there something else I can do like deleting Firefox and then reinstalling it to see if this helps - the problem is definitely when using Firefox (and not Chrome) as my browser.

Hi,

I would like to search for "CV." in a page. However in the page there are plenty of "CV. xxxxx"

So question is how could I search for the term NOT "CV. xxxxx" and that would yield only "CV."

Thank you Henry

I just updated my iMac from Mojave to Catalina 10.15.7. I thought Firefox would provide an update to convert the esr version to the standard Firefox browser since I am no longer using Mojave, but the next update is 115.15.0esr. Is that correct? My understanding is that the esr updates are just for computers using older operating systems through Mojave. I did not update to 115.15.0esr since I am not sure if that is the right version for Catalina. Any information and assistance you can provide me is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've been a Thunderbird user for years. I have no idea what they changed recently, but it's incredibly, incredibly SLOW, almost to the point of unusability. Even something as simple as deleting emails.

I usually do these in chunks -- select multiples and delete. We're not talking about hundreds of emails at at time here, just maybe 5-15. Select them all, hit delete, and it should take just a couple of seconds to delete the messages. It did, in the past. But lately, it's taking so long that I could leave and make a sandwich, and when I come back, maybe it will be done. Maybe it will still be working, though, or maybe it will have locked up because it was taking so long.

It's pretty difficult to get work done at this rate.

In the Thunderbird calendar, I'm trying to create a repeating event that occurs on the fourth Wednesday from Sep 25, 2024 through Jan 22, 2025.

But each time I try to set it up, using Jan 22 as the end date, Thunderbird changes the end date to Jan 21 and so the last event does not get created. I've tried several times and this keeps happening.

What's going on?

Last night I was using Firefox normally when it abruptly closed all windows and turned off. I turned it back on again. It told me it could not restore the tabs, so I started a new session. Firefox behaved normally, went to the sites I asked, and in approximately two minutes, did the same thing. Simply closed as if I had closed it. Turn it back on. It says it cannot restore previous tabs. It will come on, go to requested site, operate normally for a very short time, then close without warning. Made sure I had the latest version of Firefox. I do. Have tried hard restart, turn computer off, turn it back on. Same. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Behaves the same on reinstall. Says it cannot restore tabs. Start new session. Brief period of normal behavior, then all windows close as if turned off. Does not matter what the site is I go to.

Please note that I am an older autistic person who is very computer illiterate and is extremely distressed by these events. Please bear with me and please be patient with me.

Hello,

I am still having problems with Thunderbird crashing on startup

I first asked about this issue on the 2nd September, here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1461731

I have been submitting Crash reports per business day except for the last couple.

Here are the Submitted Crash ID's, I have been submitting reports as the crashes happen. :

Crash ID: ⁨bp-3b69ccf2-e3c1-431c-bada-e4f2e0240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-4c4852b8-6599-40b5-97b1-943930240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-09a86b67-a698-4c2e-a98f-e89f70240903⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-526167eb-c915-47fc-8065-f0b140240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-8965165b-c579-415d-9cb3-cdd010240903⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-a8aaf596-7dfc-43b5-8526-e204d0240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-b45149f4-8bb8-44df-84e4-b78fe0240902⁩ Crash ID: ⁨bp-c284df19-7d63-469a-af6c-9ff6c0240903⁩

More available if needed

Notably, I have 2 computers each with Thunderbird, each accessing the same account. I have no problem on the other computer. I am using no addons on the crashing computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version, computer restarts - still crashing. I have checked my RAM. 16GB on board - Basic Graphics Processing - Intel Iris XE.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Best

I type in my username and my password but you have installed a block that DEMANDS I sign up for 2-party verification or whatever its called and I cannot sign up for your 2-party verification because 5 years ago I had a different phone number and your 2-party verification is sending a code to my old number. I have been asking for 5 years how I change my phone number so I can get the code and 5 years ago some man suggested I be a 'bit more patient' so how many more years do you expect me to wait for a reply?

9-4-2024--For months the filters for my messages have not ALL worked right. Some of the older ones may work. The new filters disappear. I'm thinking it is because the Create Filter page does not display all the way to the bottom of the page so I can see and click ok to save it. Please fix this so the Create Filter page will RESIZE so I can save the filters I create. Mozilla Thunderbird programmers--Can't you write a program better than this?? Why can't you fix a problem that has been there for months maybe a year? Whatever is causing the problem please fix it.

Thunderbird email system has become so bad at blocking outgoing emails both private and business as suspected spam that it is beyond the joke; if this keeps up i will be forced to stop using this system.Ive had all settings checked by computor tech. Jim .

Help/About Firefox tells me I have - ver 112.0.1 (64-bit)

There is no option to automatically update.

I have downloaded this zip file - firefox-130.0(1).tar.bz2

QUESTION - How do I instal the update  ? - or can I not with my system - as below

Xtra-PC - Turbo 32 × 1 (purchased 2019)

Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

Running on 2010 Acer 4741G computer. 4Gb RAM Intel i5 2.27Ghz

Many thanks for any assistance, John, Brisbane Aus

My Thunderbird just upgraded to v128.2esr Nebula

I was using Cards view and it was nice, but it seems the Cards just got wider vertically. They used to be 2 lines of height, and now they are 3 lines.

As I understand, the 3rd lines is only used to display "X replies", but I use the "Unthreaded" sort option, so the 3rd line is always empty for me, and takes more space for nothing.

As you know, vertical screen estate is limited with our 16:9 screen, so please give us an option to reduce the cards view vertical size (or have it automatically remove that 3rd line in Unthreaded view)

thanks

My email provider Frontier was taken over by YAHOO. Yahoo wants to delete make changes and reload to Thunderbird. Can I do this without loosing all my email history and data accumulated it that email group. I have 2 email groups affected by this change. Thank you for your help. Del

HI! For the message "newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile", I was able to click on new profile & got all my email back (I think) but my folders under Local Folders are gone. Can I get them back?

The very informative page for this topic says that "You will not lose any personal data or customizations. Any previous profile data is saved and associated with the first Thunderbird installation that was opened after this change." Does that include Local Folders set up on the old version?

Thanks
