The situation is like this: I once reinstalled Edge, and then Firefox disappeared from the default browser options in Windows settings. No matter what I do, I can't make it appear again and set it as default browser. I want to ask if there's any solution, apart from reinstalling the browser,because I have a lot of data in the browser and I'm afraid backing it up and transferring it won't be convenient.

In Thunderbird I see two methods of accessing/editing SMTP settings for email accounts.

1. Using the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" which displays all the email accounts in a list. You then select one and click "Edit" to view or edit it.

2. On each email account page there is an "Edit SMTP server" button. Click that to view or edit the SMTP settings for that account.

I'm seeing two problems:

1 - The settings made using #1 above don't carry over into what I see using #2 above.

2 - Using method #2 above, changing the SMTP settings for my newest email account also changes the settings (seen using #2 above) on one other email account. And vice-versa.

What could be causing this?

I have several errors associated with the unified folders display. I have 6 email addresses coming in to Thunderbird. 3 are IMAP and 3 are POP. I have the POP addresses consolidated into the "Local" Folders Inbox, Sent, Trash etc. In the "All Folder" account views, the Local folder correctly displays one Inbox, one Sent, one Trash etc. The 3 POP emails accounts are being consolidated appropriately. However,in Unified folders, the Local folder as well as all of the individual POP addresses are now listed for the Inbox, Trash and Junk folders. There is now no consolidation.

Also, the Unified folders themselves are extremely slow in working. Accessing the properties for the Unified Inbox, Trash or Junk folders results in a long wait with Thunderbird entering a not responding state. Right click operations on the unified folders do not work at all. I cannot select properties, I cannot mark as read, empty or otherwise manipulate the folder. I must go to the individual accounts to manage any folder content. Which I would think makes the whole concept of Unified folders moot.

I am not at all certain what may be the root cause of this rather longstanding problem. I have deleted the smartfolders directory, have deleted the virtualfolders.dat and foldercache.json and foldertree.json files. Nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?

I've been a loyal user of Firefox for many years, but recent problems have cause me to question that loyalty. I posted previously that the Alarm.com web site does NOT appear correctly AFTER login (NOT BEFORE login). NONE of the suggestions that were given helped. Now I see that images don't appear on a matchmaking site I go to, either on the site itself or images from the site in Outlook web (ie using Firefox) email. It never used to be this way. I never had to worry about it. I've made no changes to Firefox that I'm aware of that would cause this change in behavior. WHY is this happening? I tried everything but creating a new Firefox profile suggested in this link:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-images-not-show#w_im-still-having-problems

NOTHING works. I don't get it. Images show with no trouble in Edge. So does Alarm.com.

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am experiencing a significant slowdown in email synchronization in Thunderbird. Emails take a noticeably long time to appear after clicking, and the overall syncing process is extremely slow across all folders.

The problem began on Friday, December 6th, following my use of the "Repair" button on the Inbox (8.9GB) and Sent (10.7GB) folders. After initiating the repair for the Sent folder, synchronization across all folders (Inbox, Sent, Spam, etc.) slowed down considerably.

Already done: Checked "All Mail" on Google IMAP: The folder does not appear in IMAP. Troubleshoot Mode: Attempted, but it did not resolve the issue. Reinstalled Thunderbird: Uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird on my Mac, but the problem persists.

The issue seems isolated to Thunderbird and does not impact my Mac’s overall performance, memory usage, or speed. The synchronization delay affects only Thunderbird, while other applications function normally. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue and restore normal synchronization performance.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Now everytime I try to launch TB I get the same message. Reboots don't solve it. TB won't launch. I suspect a TB 15 upgrade bug. How do I get TB to launch? If I do an uninstall, will I lose my address book(s) & subfolders?

I have been facing a problem with custom images of home page shortcuts. Whenever my laptop shuts down and Firefox was open at that time, then upon restarting, Firefox recovers the websites that were open before shutting down. However, in this process, the shortcuts do not load the custom images at all - they are all blank. I created a new profile and started everything from scratch then also the issue was there. Is there any solution to this, or is there any issue that might be from my end?
