Can't launch Thunderbird on one Mac user account

I use Thunderbird on two user IDs on the same Mac, which is running macOS 15.3.1.

I usually run Thunderbird updates on user 1, but this time I ran the it (to 128.7.0esr) on account 2, and I can no longer launch it on user 2. (Note: Neither user is an admin account.)

Steps: 1. On user 2, launch Thunderbird. 2. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.7.0esr. 3. Click the Restart to update button. 4. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.7.0esr. 5. Click the Restart to update button. 6. Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper. 7. Enter the admin ID and password and click OK. 8. Get a (surprise) dialog to authorize Thunderbird to discover my devices. 9. I choose to deny.

Expected result: Thunderbird relaunches, now with 128.7.0esr. Actual result: Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper.

10. Log off user 2 and log on to user 1. 11. Download 128.7.0esr from the Mozilla website. 12. Check the hash. 13. Install, choosing to replace the old Thunderbird in the shared Applications folder. 14. System Settings, About, System report, Applications 15. Verify the signature is signed by Mozilla 16. Launch Thunderbird

Expected and actual result: Thunderbird launches and I can use it normally.

17. Log out of user 1 and log into user 2. 18. Launch Thunderbird

Expected result: Thunderbird launches and I can use it normally. Actual result: Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper.

I'm guessing there's some manner of residual file that's preventing Thunderbird from launching on user 2. I've verified Thunderbird is in the system's Application folder and not in user 1's files.

How do I clear the pending install from user 2 so that Thunderbird will launch for user 2?

Just bought a new iMac. Firefox will not run on it. Any attempts to dump and reload have failed. Apparently the software does not ask for permission to access the network. Is this something that will be fixed soon, maybe it's something to do with Apple? Anyway, should I try to download an older version of Firefox? Firefox is my preferred browser. I don't want to be forced to use another.

Hello there, Firefox for Linux aarch64 has been supported for a while in nightly version. I wonder if that will move to beta or maybe stable release of Firefox? AARCH64 SBCs, comuter or laptops are becoming in current years. I just want to ask if there is a plan from Mozilla to add aarch64 architecture support in Linux for stable release?

Thank you

I keep thunderbird pinned to my Windows taskbar and that is usually where I look for it. Every so often and much mor6e frequently than I like it vanishes from there and I believe that that is when it an update to it arrives. To maintain the state I like I then need to delete the now-dead pinning for the taskbar, find thunderbird afresh and leunch it and re-pin. This is not a terribly new behaviour but the grief threshold in my life has just been passed leading me to ask if this is a thunderbird issue or a windows one and if there is some scheme I can use to keep the application pinned pretty well come what may. This is obviously not life critical but it has been winding me up! Many thanks. Arthur

Hello, I have Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit) running on a new Gateway Windows 11-Home computer. Thunderbird does the download for the new version but when it tries to install the download it says "Installation Failed". Help and or Fixes to this will be greatly appreciated.

Also:

I have manually downloaded TB 128.7.0 to my laptop but don't know if installing it over TB 128.6 will work without messing up my mailboxes or settings.

Thanks to all very much, Cheers, Vinman52

Dear support. Mozilla Thunderbird do not start. Instead of start program the message appear:

"For finishing update Thunderbird program is neccessary to restart computer. Do you want to restart now?"

Then I choose YES, and after restart nothing change.
