At computer cold boot on windows 11 home pro, Firefox view is open even though it is not in the start menu. It displays a flashy investment type site with a popup "sign up now" window over it. It does not happen on every cold start but does regularly. The site it displays does not show in history before of after it happens. I can find no place on the computer where that site exists, Bitdefender doesn't find anything and neither does Malwarebytes.

Is this something that Firefox did at last update to 132.02 which is when it started happening? Are you now going to have ads all over?

How do I stop this before there is an accidental software install from what looks like a very questionable website.

It was called "Trendview" which an existing website that doesn't have a great reputation and no way to contact them on their website that I can find.

Hi everyone,

I frequently use Mozilla Firefox for Android to access Microsoft services like OneDrive and Office 365 while working on my projects. Often, I need to edit videos on my Android device for work-related presentations or social media promotions.

I’m looking for a reliable video editing app that’s easy to use and works seamlessly with the files I manage through Microsoft services. Has anyone used CapCut alongside Firefox to upload and edit videos directly from OneDrive or similar platforms?

Thunderbird Mobile was installed 1 hour ago. Deleting emails on Thunderbird Mobile deletes on device only, but not on server. Accounts have been imported from desktop version. Server types are IMAP Mail Server.

Hallo, ich war 3 Wochen in Urlaub. Danach habe ich auf dem PC normalerweise jede Menge Mails, Spam usw. Jetzt überhaupt keine. Woran liegt das ? Das Einzige, was mir einfällt, daß ich auf meinem Norton Programm eine Aktualisierung von Thunderbird gemacht habe. Ergebnis : meine bisherige Version war 115.16.3 , die neueste Version ebenfalls 115.16.3. Was kann ich tun ? Danke, Wilhelm

ich will meine pers email Sieg1@beasieg.de einrichten, hatte bisher siegenglert@gmx.de diese hat das programm übernommen jetzt kann ich Sieg1@beasieg.de nicht mehr installieren

Thunderbird was working perfectly for Yahoo and another email (and the gmail inbox).

It is still working for for the second account and the gmail inbox!

The last yahoo message received via Thunderbird was at 22 November 2024 at 12.15 pm. I can see from the yahoo account online that I have received several more emails since then.

I tried to send a yahoo email today using Thunderbird;  result "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com ...failed. I haven't changed anything. 

The Yahoo account server settings show: POP mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com port 995 SSL/TLS OAuth2

There's no SMPT server information displayed in settings.

Re the gmail inbox, when I set up thunderbird on my new computer in May and imported the email accounts, everything was present and correct except for the gmail account for which only the inbox and contents arrived.

There's no problem with any of the accounts when I log in online.

Can anyone help me with three questions please:

Is there a problem with Thunderbird 128.4.3esr?

If not how do I get it working again without having to do anything difficult or technical?

How can I recover the other folders from the third email account? I imported the account by copying the Thunderbird roaming profile in exactly the same way as for the other two accounts which arrived intact.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm desperately trying to disable Firefox from starting when my windows starts up. I've tried disabling startup apps.

I've tried setting some settings to false like toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart & browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.disableLaunchOnLoginPrompt and this worked for a while and now it's back to starting with windows.

The box is unticked in menu - settings - Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up. I tried al-sorts of things but I'm still having the same problem

Does anyone have any possible solutions I can try please? At the moment I have a script to end task as I can't find any other solution.

I'm having trouble with Thunderbird on my new Windows11 laptop. I've used Thunderbird for years and years on the old Windows10 one, but can't get it to work right on the new one. The version info it gives is "128.4.4esr (64-bit)"

Specifically two problems. (1) Every time it starts it asks for my yahoo server's password. Even though I check the box asking it to remember it, it doesn't. Under Settings->Privacy&Security (under Passwords)->SavedPasswords, the list is empty. (2) Second problem (may be same as first, but in a different form) Whenever I try to send an email message, it fails. It waits a long long time and then gives a popup saying "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username bill.marshall@verizon.net failed." It gives me an option to enter a new password, and if I click there it doesn't let me enter the password again, just re-tries, again waits a long long time, then gives the same error popup. When I cancel, it gives a new popup saying to check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings (which I have done, and all looks OK).

Thanks Bill Marshall, bill.marshall@verizon.net

Running 115.16.3 because I have a Windows 7 Pro computer. Fine for years! Then a series of power failures and system crashes.

Now Thunderbird looks very plain - black and white lines, no 3D blue colors, Delete button is text only, it used to be red. Entire interface looks simple and old.

Checked my outgoing and incoming server settings. They match the settings in Edison+ Email that I use on my phone. Phone is getting new messages, Thunderbird on my desktop is not.

Outgoing mail asks for a password each time, which it did not before. I know the password, but what a pain.

I have hundreds, actually thousands of emails saved in local folders. They are all there, but I am worried if I can migrate them if I move it to a different computer.

My inbox has nearly 300 messages now, and growing rapidly.

HELP!

If there is one thing I have always disliked is 'email migrations. When deciding to switch from Thunderbird to Outlook for the MBOX data of 2024-25, I was expecting to face a really annoying and long process. But surprisingly, it wasn’t. Here’s what happened.

I began by defining tools that would help in the transition to be smooth. Out of trying many options, I found the WebbyAcad MBOX converter software. It appeared to be reviewed and featured well, so I said let me try it.

The general preparation was very simple. The tool was downloaded, and I imported the MBOX files and then chose PST as the file type to save my results. The best part? It was having the ability to batch convert something, which would have taken me hours to do.

As soon as I clicked on “Convert,” I could hardly believe how fast a work of it was. That is an undeniable advantage – every mail, folder, and even attachment was intact. I did not even delete a single file, which was way faster than I anticipated.

That which I had probably estimated to take days, was actually achieved in minutes. These new PST files are quite compatible with Outlook 2024 and I had no problem at all trying to access all my data.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, there is a solution; email migrations don’t have to be a headache. There shouldn’t be any hitches if you get the right tool. In doing what I thought was an impossible mission after research, the WebbyAcad MBOX email migrator made it easy as pie.

I have three devices: my home computer (HC), my Android phone (AP), and the computer in my office (OC).

I want to sync everything between HC and AP. I also want to sync passwords and add-ons between HC and OC, but not bookmarks. These two computers have different bookmarks, and I don't want to mix them.

How can I achieve this?

What?: Using screensharing option in Google Meets stuns computer. Where?: Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) macOS 15.1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Google Meet meeting. 2. Click Share screen. 3. Select "Use operating system settings" - this is the only option available 4. Click Allow. Current behaviour: The screensharing feature stuns the computer, showing the loading mouse cursor for ever. I can't select the screen I want to share. The computer is unusable even after quitting Firefox. The computer should be restarted. Desired behaviour: The screensharing works normally.
