Hello,

I am a long time user of Thunderbird and recently it seems like it is really dragging, especially when searching for emails. I am updated to 128.6.0esr (64-bit). Is there a setting I can adjust?

Thank you much!

Regards, Eric

My software is old. Windows 7. I know it is not supported any longer. Just started having problems loading email. Getting messages saying my Browser is not supported. Have I missed updates for FireFox?

Hello,

I use Screen Time to block sites on my Mac, running Sequoia 15.1.1. For some reason, it recently (within the last 2 weeks or so) stopped blocking sites on Firefox 134.0.2, but not on Safari.

Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

Thank you for your help.

I am using version 134.0.2 in windows 11 and my tabs stopped showing just now. I can't find an article that tells me how to have the tabs show all the time, my preference. Any thoughts on how I can get the tabs to show up without scrolling over them?

Hello all

There was a pop-up on my Mac'S Firefox asking if I allow Firefox access to my local network devices. I clicked on 'No' And obviously now I can't access for example my router's webpage or any other webpage fromo any devices on my local network. How I can switch it back? Internet access is working fine.

Many thanks, Bogdan

After I download email into my Inbox I typically save attachments to my hard drive for later reference. As I am viewing the email and after I've saved the attachment (the attachment is not open) I right-click on the attachment and delete it. At that time the message immediately disappears and cannot be found in any folder in my download Inbox or in any local folder - not Junk, Trash, Inbox, Archive, Sent or Drafts. This is a random, though frequent, occurrence and I can find no specific pattern to its occurrence. It occurs whether or not the email was Read or Unread. Repairing the folders does not reveal the deleted email(s). Has anyone else experienced this?

A folder on the bookmarks menu that stroes individual bookmarks, fills half the screen of a standard 1080p screen with totally empty white space.

The padding in between each and every single bookmark, in any place that can store bookmarks, will be filled by at least 3 or 4 mm of empty white space. Between every single bookmark.

This is a huge amount of completely pointless scrolling.

Do you have an RSI? No?

Good for you. I, sadly do.

Has there been a fix for this cos the chrome folder .css "fix" is not working for me.

If i cant solve this i am going to change browsers. I dont care. I love Firefox and used it since the netscape days in the 90's, but am not going in for another surgery since you people insist of giving people more RSI's.

i CAN NOT ACCESS VIDEOS ON HATCH ACADEMY. i USED TO HAVE NOT TROUBLE BUT NOW THERE IS NOTHING BUT WHIT SCREEN. tHE PROGRAM PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME TO USE A DIFFERENT BROWSER BUT I DON'T WANT CHROME OR THE OTHER. PLEASE HELP ME CLEAR THE CACHE OF THE BROWSER???

I couldn't find this in any forum (other than some very old threads that are no longer applicable or relevant), and I couldn't find an extension/add-on that does that either (or rather, I did find one, but it's discontinued and not compatible with current Thunderbird), but I want to store only the plain-text part of multipart messages (text + HTML) that I receive, deleting the HTML part.

The reason for this is that I need to save disk space. I'm a digital hoarder, and I archive every relevant email message I receive (I only don't store spam that escapes through the cracks and reaches me, and such disposable messages as 2FA login codes and the like). I have several sound reasons to do that, but old messages have been useful to me as reference countless times. I have about 86,000 emails stored, sorted into a variety of message folders by topic, correspondent, etc. Some date as far back as 1996, having survived lots of account, email client, and hardware migrations through diligent backups and restores.

This results in a very large disk usage, and I must minimize it, for both space itself and backup time reasons. And the difference in size can be dramatic. Just one newsletter that I'm subscribed to sends me 3-4 messages a day, of which I'll probably keep two, but each full message is about 120–150 kB. Stripped of the HTML (and still totally readable and functional), that drops to just 10–12 kB. Now multiply that difference by the volume in one year.

I'm testing and evaluating Thunderbird to replace my current email client, which is excellent and designed for power users, but also very buggy, they're slow to fix the bugs, and this is getting on my nerves. That's why I'm looking for an alternative, and so far, Thunderbird is doing an excellent job in ticking off the list of features I need (and passed my message import tests from the old mailer with flying colors), except for this one feature, which can be a dealbreaker.

Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.

When I type in the search bar, for example, 3+3 (also tried 3 + 3), when I enter, it will give me this "3 3" and will just show results instead of the calculator.

It, however, still work normally if I were to write "3 plus 3"

I had a folder called ÖgOF with a subfolder BirdLife. I renamed the folder to BirdLife-ÖgOF. After that a lot of problems occurred, e.g. - some of the other folders lost all messages - messages coluld not be moved from Inbox to some folders

Is it possible to restore the lost messages?

Bonjour, J'ai effacé par erreur un dossier et ses sous-dossiers directement dans ma messagerie Orange. J'ai ensuite installé Thunderbird qui voit ces dossiers dans la poubelle mais ils restent désespérément vides des mails qu'ils contenaient. Est-il possible de les récupérer malgré tout svp ?

The pc is a new Dell 8960 running windows 11 home. I installed t-bird from the microsoft store ver 128.5.2. I needed to do a system restore and when it was done Thunderbird.exe was gone. The link that I used to open it went to c:\users\username\thunderbird.exe but there was nothing there named Thunderbird after the restore.

I found Thunderbird at "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MozillaThunderbird.MZLA_128.5.2.0_x64__h5892qc0xkpca\VFS|ProgramFiles\MZLA Package Root\Thunderbird.exe" I made a shortcut to that but the response is "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access the item."

I do have a current copy of the profile.
