Hi Everyone,

ever since the latest Firefox update, the "read more" feature on LinkedIn pages (personal pages, not the feed) does not show up anymore, at least not for me - the feature allows you to expand the various subsections to read their full content.

I opened LinkedIn on Chrome and Edge to see if it is indeed a browser issue, and it's working fine over there. I also did some troubleshooting (refreshing, clearing cache), but to no avail.

Does anybody else have the same problem?

Thank you!

Hi,

Suddenly google browser went extremely zoom out, very tiny carachters. Looks like a desktop version. Can’t switch it back to how it was before. A google browser standard mobile view.

Can you help fixing it?

Thanks, Alec

Hi, I Changed IMAP to POP3, rebuilt Inbox.MSF and it worked for a few hours. Now, I cannot get control of the Thunderbird screen (it is grayed out and "the wheel is turning") I've also tried to Shift click to start Thunderbird to start in Troubleshoot mode and checked both boxes. (I get control for approximately 15 seconds). I am running Windows 11 with 128 Gb of RAM and enough disk space. What should I do now?

BTW, I am an I/T professional, so you may use jargon in your response.

Thank you in advance.

Hey guys,

I'm using firefox mobile on a lenovo p11 tablet with android 11. Yesterday, everything was fine. This morning I'm opening firefox and every site I visit is huge. Like, really huge. It looks like it is zoomed in, but the max zoom out state is still huge.

It turns out that desktop mode doesn't work anymore, because firefox 133 was installed overnight on my tablet. If you toggle it in the 3 dot menu, the site just reloads but if you check the menue after that it's deactivated again. This happens with the new option (always load desktop mode under website settings) on and off.

Most mobile sites are terrible on tablets since most of the screen real estate is completely wasted by way too big fonts, sidebars, etc.

Is there a workaround for this?

Also, is this a known issue, or should I report it on bugzilla or something?

Cheers

Just wondering.... If I have 2x email addresses, and forward a message from Email#1 to Email#2 (ie automatically through the settings on the email#1 account), when receiving in Thunderbird, would, or should, this info show up in the full headers of Email#2, and if so, how?

Thanks.

How do you view full headers, these days? Supposedly View > Header > All, but in my version, View > Header does not exist, either when viewing in list format, or even after opening the actual email.... Thanks.

when I type in the address bar to go to a new page, the new page either doesn't load at all or loads briefly then goes back to the page that was previously loaded in that tab. the only way to go to a new page is to open a new tab (or close all tabs then open tab 1). is this how it's supposed to work? because this isn't how any browser has ever worked LOL. if it's not expected, how do I fix it?

apologies if already asked but I didn't see it.

I have a recurring problem with mail becoming stuck in my Outbox. The symptom is that I discover, after hours of working, sending mail, and receiving mail, that the "sent" mail is all actually stuck in Local Folders Outbox. If I click on Outbox I can see the email messages that are waiting to go out. The only way to get them to go out is to quit Thunderbird and then restart, at which point I can see them go out, one by one.

This has happened to me many, many times, but not every day - or even every week. It's hard to pin down what what is causing the problem, but I have a feeling that it is vpn related.

My normal mode of operation (on a Macbook Pro) is to switch back and forth between home and work networks (or travel networks) without logging out or quitting tasks (including Thunderbird). I don't think that's the problem. While I am working, I frequently have to switch to an internal vpn to access various things. I don't like to run video conferencing or other high bandwidth tasks through the vpn server, so I generally disconnect when I don't need it. I *think* Thunderbird is sometimes getting confused about the network - perhaps when I've started composing an email with vpn running but switching vpn off before sending. Honestly, though, I think I do that so often that this can't be the core issue. So:

Question 1: Has anyone seen this and found a solution?

I've tried just writing a cron job that watches the file "Unsent Messages" in

/Users/myname/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/[profilename]/Mail/Local Folders

I just check to see if there are messages in there, and send myself a notice. However, this doesn't work because that file doesn't actually seem to empty itself once messages go out. It doesn't save all outgoing mail, but it saves a bunch, so my trick won't work.

Question 2: Does anyone know why the Unsent Messages file doesn't clear once the messages go out?

Question 3: Is there some other indicator that I can probe to see if there is stuck outgoing mail?

Sorry for the long description. I wanted to be as complete as possible. Thanks for any help.

I get an error when I try to compact the Trash (after deleting emails). I am able to compact all others with no problems. See the jpg image file attached. Thanks. Brad

I allowed windows (11) to apply updates. Afterwards, my Thunderbird email cannot see the email in any folders except only unopened email in inbox. The data still seems to be in the files.

Spent 2 hours with Dell support, who were unable to resolve and they say it's due to Thunderbird, which re-installed itself (?) around the same time as the windows update.

Any help? Thanks.

'Linked In' technical support are telling me that I am unable to see certain pages on their system most likely because my Firefox Browser (which is fully up to date) is using DNS. They said to remove DNS. Is this wise advice and if so how do I do that and what difference will it make to my day to day use of firefox?

You used to have a nice menu bar, with bookmarks easily available. Now it looks like Edge, with bookmarks over on a right hand menu, with multiple clicks needed. I looked for a View option in settings and found nothing, searching on toolbar also comes up empty.

Is there a way to get that old menu bar to show back up?

I have been having this issue for a while now. I will get this message on different websites, and then if I try again later it might work. It seems like it's a random chance of me getting this error. I have tried "about:config" commands as suggested on other posts on this forum and they didn't work. I checked my licenses, proxy settings and still nothing. I got another web browser to see if it's my PC or Firefox, and the other browser worked just fine. I am guessing there is something I need to do within Firefox, but I am not sure what that is.

I recently installed "Thunderbird android" on my smartphone (Pixel 6a, Android 14) and since I have been using the "K9Mail" app for years, for the Thunderbird configuration I executed the "import from app" following the instructions on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-android-import

I imported several accounts (pop3 accounts and imap accounts). The operation was very simple and went well, except for one aspect... let's say that I would have expected that the import would have also copied the emails from K9Mail to Thunderbird. Instead, this was not the case. I don't know if it's a mistake or something wanted, in any case this fact forces me to keep both applications on my smartphone, Thunderbird to read new emails, K9Mail to read old ones (in fact, sometimes it's useful for me to have old emails available from my phone too).

Do you know if there's any other way to transfer all the emails from one app to the other? Thanks in advance!

I’ve noticed that Firefox is draining my Mac’s battery significantly often consuming over 200% of the device’s power. It also prevents my Mac from going to sleep when not in use. Is there a setting I can adjust to improve battery efficiency and ensure that Firefox doesn’t block my device from entering sleep mode? I’d appreciate any guidance to resolve this issue.

There is a problem with my Drafts folder. It says that there are 3 messages, and shows the icon for 2 new messages in the folder, but when I try to open the folder, it says No Messages Found. What is going on here? (Please see the uploaded image.)

I have manually installed multiple older versions of Firefox for Desktop (Windows 10), as I am translating KB articles and sometimes need any of the twenty latest versions to get screenshots in my language for the translated articles.

When an older version becomes superfluous, I would like to uninstall it from my computer, but that does not work. Even though I see all the older Firefox versions listed in Windows Applications & Features and each of them has an Uninstall button (and a helper.exe file in the uninstall folder in the installation folder each of the versions), the only "action" I see is that I get a warning that the Firefox Helper application is about to make change to the content of my hard drive, and will I allow that? The pop-up asking if I want to refresh Firefox instead of uninstalling, it does NOT appear.

The only time I get a proper response, i.e the Refresh-instead-of-uninstall? pop-up, is when I initiate uninstall of the latest current version of Firefox, in my case Fx132.0.2.

Have anyone else come across this problem?
