I'm migrating Thunderbird from my old Windows 10 computer to a new Windows 11 computer.

I've installed Thunderbird v115.12.2 and successfully moved all my accounts, emails, calendars, etc., to the new computer.

Several things are NOT working correctly, though:

1 - Settings will not open. Here is the message from the error console:

Error: No such tab mode: preferencesTab

   openTab chrome://messenger/content/tabmail.js:758
   openTab chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js:257
   openPreferencesTab chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js:295
   openOptionsDialog chrome://messenger/content/mailCore.js:628
   oncommand chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xhtml:1

tabmail.js:956:17

   openTab chrome://messenger/content/tabmail.js:956
   openTab chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js:257
   openPreferencesTab chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js:295
   openOptionsDialog chrome://messenger/content/mailCore.js:628
   oncommand chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xhtml:1

2 - Customize menu does not open

3 - The hamburger menu in the upper right corner does not open

4 - The spaces toolbar on the far left is missing

5 - Events and Tasks are missing from the menu

6 - My calendar is nowhere to be found - I can't find a way to access it (on my old computer, I clicked on the calendar icon in the spaces toolbar on the left side of the window)

Thunderbird on my old computer was also running v115.12.2 when I backed up the profile folder to move it.

I tried downgrading to Thunderbird v102. I had all of the same issues listed above PLUS all my accounts and emails disappeared. -- I've brought it back up to v115.12.2.

Could someone please help me get Thunderbird working correctly?

Hi there, Im on a windows 10(ish) and yesterday got this problem after the auto update to firefox 133.0.3 - Update is not working. error window says platform version 133.0.3 is not compatible with minVersion >= 133.0... how can I fix this?

I've seen that there was a similar issue back in October with a previous version. Tried to follow instructions and reinstaled firefox from mozilla. But the problem is still there. Restarted after reinstalling and still getting the same error message. ((( Please help )))

Hello,

I try to create a TB account for a mail account *@outlook.fr. The account is not the current MS account of the windows session.

Every thing is well set (joined screen capture). Following [https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentification-thu...] I should get , as described (french translation of the article): Selon la documentation Microsoft, les administrateurs et administratrices doivent visiter « https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/adminconsent?client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753 » et accorder les autorisations suivantes afin d’autoriser Mozilla Thunderbird : IMAP.AccessAsUser.All, POP.AccessAsUser.All, SMTP.Send et offline_access.

But I get the "connect to an MS account" (see joined screen capture).

If you validate (giving the password) then you have changed the current account of the Windows session which cannot anymore operate in normal conditions (particularly changes the current user of MS365 applications).

Imagine that you have to activate several *@outlook.fr sessions, what could be the issue. In another way, as it is an IMAP account which is a "multi-user" function, several users are normally able to connect simultaneously which is opposed to MS account which cannot (must not - built for) be connected with several Windows sessions simultaneously.

Consequently something goes wrong when you setup an outlook.fr mail account. It looks like the two connection : - connect MS365 account (linked to and id by *@outlook.fr) for contextual use of MS365 applications - connect to *@outlook.fr mail IMAP account to manage mails are somewhere confused.

for now, I am unable to setup the configuration of mail for a team where several are using Thunderbird as mailer and others Outlook, while everybody of the team must have access to the e-mail of the team which is an outlook.fr mail account.

I can't login to etsy with facebook login. The box is grey and it says facebook will track activity. How can I login and have my facebook-based history? I guess I want to bypass the privacy blocker on the login with Facebook.

On 29 Nov 2024, TBird stopped downloading all emails from all my accounts. I have not changed anything on the computer and have run all the troubleshooting routines I can find for TBird. Still not working. Interestingly, when Better Bird import the settings from TBird, it exhibited the same issues. Any suggestions?

TIA

Hello I have an application that shows forms where the input fields are inserted on table columns. When the column contains two fields sometimes the second field is showed not in the same line.

It must be said that the second field is added after the creation of the form.

Whit Chrome and Edge the form is showed correctly. At thislink the behavior can be seen. Thanks

Hi team,

I am battling problems snoozing & dismissing notifications for my Calendars in Thunderbird.

In the console I am seeing lots of: `Calendar: Could not find definition for AUS Eastern Standard Time`

How does Thunderbird define timezones, and where can I correct this?

I am running 128.5.1esr and my calendar is Radicale 3.0.6.

Thanks!

I see it as Thunderbird hijacking the resources of my computer to run Firefox and take me to the donation website. I'm fine with the request for money in the Thunderbird screen, I can navigate away from that. Don't open programs other than Thunderbird before I require them.

I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 on a Windows 10 desktop PC, with a profile which includes a userChrome.css file which makes several layout and cosmetic changes.

I also have a laptop (also Windows 10) which has an old Firefox 97.0.1 installation, and I'd like to make the same changes on this machine which I'm used to on the main computer. I copied my desktop profile to the laptop, to the same directory as its present profile, but when I rebooted Firefox the transferred profile wasn't recognised.

While doing the transfer I received error messages about some of the folders: Destination path too long. This despite the fact that the registry flag to accept extended paths is set to 1. I had to skip several folders in order to complete the transfer.

Could this be the reason why the new profile isn't being picked up? Or is it because the two Firefoxes are of different versions?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.

When I compose a new message and add an attachment, I cannot see it (even when attachment view is enabled). The twisty next to "1 Attachment" toggles up and down, but no attachment pane (1st image). But...

If I save the message as a draft, then reopen it, the pane appears (2nd image)!

Why is the pane missing in the new message compose window?

After a recent update to Firefox Nighty, the error "Procedure entry point IsWow64Process2 not found in DLL xul.dll" began to appear. I am using Windows 10 1507 LTSB.

The website WSJ has large areas on front page, including the opinion listing, are simply white and not 'there' on the page to click on. I've deleted their cookies without effect, tried turning off all adblockers, shut mac down to reboot, nothing seems to have an effect. This is a recent glitch of only several days, prior performance was great. Thanks!

Problem started with email contents of emails in inbox not displaying in the bottom pane. I tried some of the suggestions in troubleshooting. Then all emails disappeared from inbox. On restarting Thunderbird or when I ask to get new messages, I now get this message : Error with account wynandkok@mweb.co.za Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

Note: the disk has 184 GB of free space.
