Hi all,

Notice that any search via email address or key word in upper search box for emails in 2025 returns nothing. 2024 and past emails in search are there. Rebuild the Global Database https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database and deleted global-messages-db.sqlite as instructed.

Problem not solved and global-messages-db.sqlite was not recreated in the profiles folder. Just took a global-messages-db.sqlite from a back up and put it in profiles to see if this helps. Also repairing one of my accounts to see if that helps.

Anyone know what is going on? I see several other posts about folks having similar problems in search and indexing. Running window 11 and TB 128.6.0esr (64-bit).

Also notice 2 stable extension are now non functional.

Provider for Google Calendar true 128.0.0 128.0.0 133.* Allows bidirectional access to Google Calendar

AI Grammar Checker & Paraphraser – LanguageTool true 8.11.2 8.11.2 136.* Instantly Enhance Your Texts with LanguageTool’s Grammar Checker and Paraphrasing Tool

Thanks for any insights -- jim

Unfortunately it does not. It is screwy as it will find some dates for some people in 2025 but not all the emails sent in 2025. But for some people it has all emails for 2025. And it doesn't matter what email account. I have 5 individual accounts combined in single mailbox and searching from the combined or individual email account return the same error data.

Quick search does work, slowly, but it does find all the most recent email from the sender.

I have not had time to start window in safe mode, or reinstall tbird. Any other suggestions as this is new, I've not had not changes to computer (that I know of), and the 2 extensions stopped working at the about the same time.

About the same time I noticed links to icons/graphic images in firefox are broken and continue that way.

Thanks for any insights and help. -- jim
