If you select No to the UAC prompt when updating Firefox via Installer, it will install Firefox to "AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox" without telling you, instead of overwriting the copy in Program Files or erroring out. Additionally it will create a new Profile and set this new Profile as the Default Profile without telling you. Lastly, it'll remove an existing Pinned shortcut on the Taskbar.

So you've now got 2 copies of Firefox installed, one of which you're not told anything about and an additional Firefox Profile with no indication that this happened nor any instructions on how to undo this nor how to change the default Profile.

Bookmarks missing in latest update

This morning, 21-January-2025 at 8:45:59 AM my Firefox S/W was updated with version 134.0.2 (20250120135430). When I mouse clicked on the bookmark icon in the toolbar the list of my bookmarks were missing. Checked the "Other Bookmarks" link. The "Other Bookmarks" file only contains about 20% of those I have saved. History is also not being save even though I have that checked in the Firefox Settings.

Tried restoring the bookmarks from a saved file. I can click on the file but can not install it.

This is the second time this has happened. When it happened previously Firefox Update recovered the Bookmarks on January 15, 2025 at 12:45:54 PM version 134.0.1 (20050113121357).

Firefox has been my browser for many years and has performed exceptionally. You were able to my recover the bookmarks last time. Hope you can do it again but if not I do have a copy on a USB drive.

Thank you for what you do and your dedication.

James.

Desperate help needed here. Since windows live mail stopped working a few weeks ago ive decided to try thunderbird as my new email program on windows 7 pc. Have downloaded but every time i try to add my bigpond email account it says it cant because either configuration, email address or password are incorect. Ive been talking with bigpond support for days and getting nowhere. The email and password are correct because i can access telstra webmail and weve tried both pop3 and imap config settings but getting nowhere. What is left to try? I tried adding a gmail to thunderbird and it worked but no luck with the bigpond email.

I didn't know there was a non-ESR version of Thunderbird until I found out by chance a few days ago! Since the latest update to ESR 128.5.2 has crashed 11 times this week, I would like to move to the latest version (64 bit?) non-ESR. There must surely be an official Mozilla step-by-step guide to doing this?

Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

After searching and following some suggestions approaches I've consolidated these into the following steps which worked for me:

Copy the Profile to a Disk/USB

  1. Mount the disk/USB. This needs to larger than the profile selected
  2. On W10, open TB -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profiles -> about:profiles.
  3. Find the the profiles where 'Default Profile' is Yes
  4. Click on Show in Explorer (e.g. vx7sjwjh.default)
  5. Close TB
  6. Copy and paste the folder selected in Explorer to the disk/USB to be used for the transfer.

Install the Profile on the maxOS

  1. Mount the disk/USB
  2. In Finder, find the mounted volume and copy the profile
  3. In Finder, select Go->Home
  4. If you can't see Library enter 'command+shift+.'
  5. In Library->Thunderbird->Profiles
  6. Paste the copied profile

Assign the Profile in TB

  1. Open TB
  2. Help->Troubleshooting Information->Profiles->about:profiles
  3. Create New Profile->Continue
  4. Choose a name that has not been assigned. You will see an error 'A profile with this name already exists' if it is not unique
  5. Click on Choose Folder
  6. Select the folder you pasted
  7. Click Done
  8. Scroll down until you see the Profile you created (if you don't see it, restart TB)
  9. Click on 'Set as default profile'
  10. Click on 'Launch Profile'

You should now see your profile
