Thunderbird will not email (after years of functioning), download says "connection was refused when attempting to contact direct mozillamessaging '.

When Thunderbird opens or when I click on "Get messages" I get a message that says: "the connection was refused when attempting to contact the living mozillamessaging.com ." This has happened only since 18/12/14 after working many years. I checked all the information personal server, etc., and it seems to be OK (no change in the past). I'm having no internet problem and can get messages from my provider, Earthlink, on its own site.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:

  • Restart Thunderbird with disabled modules (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click "restart with disabled modules. If Thunderbird works as usual, there is an add-on or theme interfere with normal operations. You will need to reactivate the modules one at a time until you locate the offender.
  • Restart the operating system in safe mode with network. This loads only the basics needed to start your computer while allowing Internet access. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OSX
If the safe mode for the operating system to resolve the problem, there are other software on your computer that is causing problems. The possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as updates of the program.

  • Mozilla Thunderbird will not start after the blue screen.

    There was a program that was supposed to update the drivers but caused a blue screen. I had to go back to a previous point of reset to get Windows 7 running again. Now Thunderbird gives me an error "could not load XPCOM" at startup. What should I do?

    I solved the problem as follows:
    1. turn off the antivirus software.
    2 delete the program folder in Thunderbird, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird (Windows 32-bit) or C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Thunderbird (64-bit Windows) by default.
    3. use the browser to download the Thunderbird installer on the Mozilla site.
    4 reinstalled Thunderbird by running the installation program.
    5 turn on antivirus software.

  • Flash animations will not play after the flash update

    Hello

    It's really weird, but flash animations on most sites (sites like Ustream) will not play after that I updated the flash player. The funny thing is that on youtube play very well. I've tried disabling the addon of shockwave, relocation, etc., but nothing works. This problem is with firefox only because as the Chrome and Explorer the flash player works fine.

    Thank you.

    Thank you. In fact, it was not necessary because I have disabled protected mode flash and who did it. However, seems like it is not the best option but average tiem, I guess I have no choice.

    Thank you.

    There seems to be a bit of a problem past, especially with older models of iPad 2. Some people have reported success after that restore their device via iTunes, for others that it has not worked and all they get is a message "bring it in an apple store.

    Since it affects a lot of people, I think it's safe to say that the problem lies in the range of Apple. But I don't think it is recognized or no matter what put forward fix.

    You can try to restore your device, or you may just be stuck waiting to see if a fix comes out.
