I am attempting to install Thunderbird on a new laptop and move personal folders from old to new PC. The installation process finds my email address and ISP information but fails with incorrect password.

Steps - 1. enter user name 2. enter email address 3. install finds correct ISP information 4. accept ISP information without changes 5. enter email password 6. process popup say incorrect user name, ISP info or password 7. login to ATT.NET successfully which indicates to me that the userid and password are correct for email account.

what other information could I supply to assist with problem resolution? I do not know what to do next.

Thank you, Neal

The attached image shows the error message I get when I try to run Thunderbird. This has been the case for several months, and all of the suggestions I've found online have failed to make any difference at all.

It seems this must be a fairly common error with other software, but within Mozilla's help menus I could find only one thread of two messages that addressed it at all, with no solution offered.

I'm running Windows 11, and have had no problems with Thunderbird until this one.

I hope someone can offer a solution that works for me.

Thanks,

Neil Farrell

Putting FireFox on my "New" MacBook

This will be a long question and in 2 parts, so I'll apologize up front.

1. I am running FireFox on my 11-year old MacBook and love it (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6). However, my printer just crapped out, and my new HP 9120e requires MacOS Big Sur (11.x.x) or later. If I update to that OS, will I still be able to use FireFox? If so, where do I find it (see Question 2, below)?

2. Since my old MacBook is clearly reaching the end of it's life and my Excel and Word apps are also ancient, I am trying to transfer all my stuff onto a "New" MacBook that is running MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1. However, the "New" computer (I will not say "improved") has been a reliability nightmare and I just had it in for service. They wiped my disk clean to install the Monterey OS. So, other than Safari, I have no browser (or anything else for that matter). When I go to the App Store to download FireFox, and don't see it anywhere. Help!

I have a new Chromebook, having previously used a Microsoft Surface Pro. I have loaded Linux onto my Chromebook and now have installed Firefox and Thunderbird but I can't get my email account loaded onto Thunderbird. I receive a message as follows: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration" I'm sure that I have entered the correct details. I was offered the chance to scan a QR code but that option doesn't seem to be there anymore. (The Chromebook doesn't have a front camera but it will lie flat so I was going to be able to use it)

Hello all, I just installed Firefox 138.03 64 bit with no problem and it seems to be working great as usual however I did notice an error in my Event Viewer which is Event 7023 Service Control Manager which was about The Mozilla Maintenance Service terminated (please see below). I have never seen this error concerning Firefox and I have been using it as my default for years now. I have no idea what to do to correct/fix this or if I should be concerned about it. I went to Services and the Mozilla Maintenance Service is set to Manual but when I tried to start the service it said it could not start the service because of incorrect function. Could someone please guide me as to what is going on and what I should do. Thank you in advance.

Respectfully, Don

When trying to update Thunderbird on Ubuntu 24.04 the installer says "Quit to Update". I have quit Thunderbird and unpinned from task bar, restarted and still the same. I then decided to uninstall and used 'sudo apt remove Thunderbird' which says it was removed, I then used 'sudo apt purge Thunderbird' which comes back with Package 'Thunderbird' is not installed, so not removed. So tried again, Guess what same result! Any Ideas please?

I am currently running Thunderbird 137.0.2 (64-bit) and I don't get an automatic prompt for updates and haven't been getting them since I updated to Supernova and now Nebula.

I have the settings set to Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them, which is the setting I have always had and I used to get automatic prompts for updates with a window opening to show the details of the update as I get in Firefox.

Can someone tell me how to get these automatic updates back.

I have attached a screenshot of the update window.

Thanks.
