I have been using the Firefox Color extension for a while with no problems. I noticed that in the last few days, when I restart my computer, the theme resets. Specifically, when I first open Firefox, I very briefly see my saved theme but after just a second it reverts back to the default colors/theme.

When I go to the Firefox Color page, my theme is still saved and once I click on it, it takes effect until I restart the computer.

This only started in the last few days and I know there was a Firefox update (132) as well as a Windows update both in the last week or so.

I'm using Windows 10 Home, version 22H2, OS build 19045.5011.

Is anyone else having this problem or know what might be causing it?

Help. Thank you.

Hello,

Recently I opened Thunderbird and it automatically added the following folders to my account:

https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEX6LYC

All the generic yellow folders below the Deleted trash can icon suddenly appeared and they weren't there or weren't shown before. I right-mouse clicked on the account folder, went to Subscribe, unticked the folders that I don't want to subscribe to (all the yellow ones were there), restarted Thunderbird and they all still appeared and the boxes I unchecked, had just rechecked themselves.

I don't want them shown. Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks

When routinely compacting folders I always get the error message that Inbox folder could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. I have repeatedly tried to repair the folder and have confirmed all folder permissions are as they should be-i.e., full control, without success. So I thought the thing to do is delete the folder and create a new Inbox. First to save the messages I want to keep to my 2024 Archive and I selected about 430 messages to archive. Those are now lost as far as I can tell and did not make it to Archives. I tried to delete Inbox folder and it would not delete. I then deleted messages in the folder one by one. It turns out that there is one message that would not delete no matter what (a Craigslist conversation). I try to delete or move to trash and nothing happens. So now my Inbox has one email left in it but it says that it contains 240MB! (The size of my missing 430 messages???) What is going on? I also have the bug that opens Inbox on some random previous email and not on the latest one. My OS is Windows 10, TB version 128.4.0esr, and Anti Virus is Windows Defender.

My firefox can't be updated because of Potential Security Issue. I tried to directly download from firefox, but still can't download the new version. I tried to use other browsers to download from this website... still not successfully. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?reason=manual-update

Here is the detail I got from Edge: " This server couldn't prove that it's download.mozilla.org; its security certificate is from 1099cloud.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. "

What is '1099cloud.com ', which stops me from downloading anything from firefox website? How can I fix it?

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the latest MacOS (Sequoia). Though I didn't notice it immediately, today when I opened Firefox, all text is displayed in a foreign character set. It is pervasive - I've tried to use several tutorials to reset the language and all settings to default, but so far nothing has worked. I've uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner (which gets any leftover files in OS folders, as well as the app itself), but a clean install results in the same issue. I've disabled all add-ons and reset all settings to default as near as I can tell. The only time the browser displays properly is when it's in Safe Mode. I'm not sure if this is related to the OS update, but I can't seem to identify any other recent change that could have the potential to cause this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ubuntu 22 LTS, Firefox 131.0.3 (64-bit). My machine crashed last night, but when I booted it this morning to start figuring out what's wrong all my windows/tabs came up. (I have at least 6 windows (for organization of my) hundreds of tabs.) After 6 or so reboots (testing various usb device plug-in configurations) I'm finally done, but now only have 1 blank firefox window. I created an account for syncing so I wouldn't have to redo all that when I upgrade OS periodically; however, I didn't think this would happen, so I didn't sync before this.

I would REALLY like to get my windows/tabs back in the configuration they were. Under 'manage history' there's an import/backup option, with restore; under that, it shows Yesterdays Date with 563 items, but clicking on 'restore' for that tells me it will replace my bookmarks file...

And I don't know how to retrieve the previously synced data, having only used it in the (presumed) other direction.

Any clues welcome!

This is for POP email. The displayed inbox size is incorrect. With my Inbox empty, "Show folder size" shows 10.6 G in left panel of display. This exceeds max folder size of 4G so something is not working correcty. In addition, MBOX Inbox in Thunderbird Profile also shows 10.6 G. This is important to me because this large file size is preventing me from loading Profile on to flashdrive for purpose of migrating to a new computer. Flash drives wil not accept it and give an error message. In addition, I don't want to start a new installation with bad data.

Hello All,

So I have two exchange accounts. Both were working until a recent Thunderbird update. Now they both will receive email, but only one will send. The offending account will spine for a bit on send and error out with the change password or retry. Both do not work. I have tried everything from recreating the account to creating a new SMTP account. I am at a loss at this point. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am using,

Thunderbird 128.4.1esr (64-bit) Avast as in the pic. Also the SMTP setting in the pic. These are the same as the account that is work bar the credential change. This on Windows 11.

For the past 3 days, I've been locked out of using Thunderbird email. When I try to open it, I get a "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to restart now ?" "Yes/No" option pop-up.

This is infuriating. After several hours, I'm still no closer to being able to use Thunderbird again.

If I choose to restart, nothing changes and I just get the doom loop pop-up again.

If I install uninstall (via Windows Control Panel), again I get stuck with the "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to restart now ?" message.

I can find no useful advice in the Thunderbird help and forums. It's recorded as a known issue. But no viable solutions found.

Using Windows 10. Looks like Thunderbird tried to update to 115.16.2 on 28-Oct-24 (not something I requested).

Please let me know how I can fix it.

And do something to fix this bug (which is a shocker).

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.
