Hello,

my old laptop SSD crashed and I had to re-install Thunderbird. It took a few days to do so, in this time I switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint.

After an import of a (luckily fresh) backup into the new Thunderbird installation, it don't receive messages between 02. December 2024 and 10. December 2024. I can find them via Webmailer (strato.de), but if I click on "Receive new mails" in Thunderbird, there are "no new messages" in its oppinion.

But it is possible to send me a new Mail to the given address, that will be received immediatly.

What can I do to get these E-Mails of the given date range?

Regards Tim

When using Firefox on Android for a while, attempting to use pinch to zoom on a web site will cause Android to crash, as in the screen will go black, the G logo animation will appear, and I'll be sent back to the lock screen. It's not just the app that crashes. It doesn't seem to be a full reboot as that takes longer and starts with a different animation, but some part of Android is restarting.

It's consistent but not predictable. Pinch to zoom will work on one site fine and then crash on the same site later. It seems to be a resource issue as it's unlikely to happen on a fresh instance and it becomes more likely the longer you've been using Firefox.

This has been happening for several months, since at least July. It's happened both on my old Pixel 6 Pro and my new Pixel 9 Pro. It's happened on both Android 14 and 15.

I eventually found out I could go to Settings > About Firefox > Crashes and get some debugging info, but I don't know what to do with it. I currently have 15 crashes between now and Oct 16th which all say:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Adding window failed

Clicking Share to get more info on the latest one adds:

I don't know what to do with this info. Should I file a Bugzilla report with just this? The GUID associated with the most recent one is 7a5e5497-bb62-4e3c-94fc-5c63c51d0830. I can't look it up in crash-stats.mozilla.org. Or should I assume all crash reports are automatically received? I'd still like to be able to have a Bugzilla bug to watch for progress.

My organization uses Box Drive for file storage/transfer. I recently upgraded to an ARM-based PC (Microsoft Surface) which the Box app does not support, forcing me to use a browser to access my files.

When I upload a file to Box via Firefox, it repeatedly uploads the same file until I close the browser. I only noticed this after coming back to the tab and noticing that the PDF I uploaded was on version 1,937 and counting. I tested another file and observed the same behavior.

The behavior persists when using a private window with all extensions disabled.

The bug does not appear to affect Chrome: files upload once as expected.

In Firefox, other services such as Dropbox and Google Drive are not affected, only Box.

Anybody else experienced this and found a solution?

I use the Thunderbird add ons "mail merge" and "send later" to create mass mailings with individual salutations etc. Now I also want to send an automatic follow-up to these mailings. However, only to the people who didn't answer to the first mailing should receive a follow-up. Is it possible to automatize this process with Thunderbird? Or is there maybe an add on I can use for that? Right now I have to check every mail individually for replies and answer one after another by hand. That takes a lot of time and there has to be a solution for that. Can you guys help me with that? Thank you so much in advance!

Using Firefox on PC, when I move a bookmarked link to a folder and then afterwards create a new bookmark on my mobile device, it automatically sets the folder on the mobile device, to the folder I lastly moved a link too on my PC. This is frustrating, as I sometimes now bookmark something on mobile, and then cannot find it, since its basically random which folder was the last used.

I use Android for my mobile device.

Somewhere in between the latest Thunderbird update and me switching broadband providers from Virgin to Sky and back to Virgin again, all in the space of about a week, this problem has developed with sending emails.

At first when i switched from Virgin, I got a message that my NTL email address would no longer work after 90 days, as it was owned by Virgin. Each time I wanted to send from my NTL account I got a pop-up message asking me (Think I recall correctly) to insert my NTL password. I ignored it and switched my sending email address to my gmail email account. Now I find difficulty sending both in Gmail and in Virgin, sometimes having to wait several minutes for the email to go, sometimes it not going at all, other times waiting for a copy, then occasionally "can't copy to the "sent" folder so save in "Local Folder".

I would be grateful for advice how to revert to the previous excellent service i always had with Thunderbird.

Dear Sirs,

For at least the last two weeks, I have experienced a lot of trouble working with Mozilla Firefox. Just reading my emails is an arduous task.

It crashes, I lose internet connection, it does not "respond," etc., and Symantec Norton 360 cannot find out WHY! I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled it, and it is still unreliable.

Before I have to resort to using another browser, can YOU tell me what is going on. I have a Dell desktop, using Windows 10 Pro (obtained in 2018). Firefox is my default browser. I also have Google Chrome installed.

Please help!

Sincerely yours,

Firefox on MacOS in full screen mode makes the black offset between the screen edge and the Firefox window after logging in after MacOS is locked. It fixes itself when you exit the full screen and enter it again.

How to reproduce?

• Open Firefox and enter the full screen mode
• Close your MacBook and wait until it prompts you for your password or touch id
• The Firefox window has black offset between screen edge and the Firefox window, that was not present before
• Exit the full screen and get into it again, and the offset is gone

Hello, The description of the old add-on, which is unfortunately no longer compatible, says it all: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/auto-save-drafts-folders/

Case 2: You are using Gmail IMAP. Gmail automatically copies deleted emails to the trash folder. This means that if you took your time writing an email, there would be multiple copies of the draft in your Trash folder when you got done. One for each time auto save ran.
