Hi everyone,

I’m having some trouble with Thunderbird and could use some guidance. I’ve been trying to install the latest version, but I keep running into issues. The installation either fails midway or gives an error message I can’t figure out.

Also, for the times when I’ve managed to install Thunderbird, I’ve noticed that updates don’t seem to apply properly. The program either doesn’t update automatically or prompts me to download the full installer again.

Could someone explain the proper steps for installing Thunderbird and ensuring updates are applied correctly? Are there any common pitfalls or settings I should check to avoid these issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

How can I roll back or uninstall this latest update? I'm suddenly stuck with this big stupid empty sidebar and it's an eyesore and distracting and I hate it. Almost worth going back to Edge for it. I want it gone. Nobody wants bezels on their phones/devices, who the hell thought it was a good idea to take up more window on their web browser!?

Hi, using Mac OS. Have tried the about:config set the auto update configs to false, still it keeps prompting every day or a few hours . There is also a timer setting. They dont seem to work, and these update notifications are very irritating, keep popping up every 8 hours or so.

Not sure the necessity for these incessive updates every day or hours, it uses a lot of system resources and hdd space, can Firefox put back the option when we can just tick 'update only when we want them' , in these, no background timer required they use system resources and there are many of us do not want them.

This question has been answered: see below

I've replaced K9 with Thunderbird (version 8.1) on my Ultrahertz Jelly Star running Lineage 20. Everything works as expected, but I can't get the Thunderbird app to appear in the homescreen apps list on my custom launcher, AOI (version 5.2.4).

The homescreen apps list is driven by a Category setting within AOI, and I have a category called Frequent to surface apps I use all the time. Earlier apps added to the Frequent category appear as expected, but nothing I've tried surfaces Thunderbird in the same way.

RESOLUTION

In the course of gathering information for this question I inadvertently deleted the Frequent category within AOI Launcher. After recreating it, and adding my most frequently used apps, Thunderbird is now included in their number.

Every few days I get a Can't load XPcom error when trying to launch Thunderbird. I know how to fix this problem when it occurs (manually delete T'bird from Programs, download and install latest version), but every few days it occurs again, which is getting tiring. How can I fix this so the error won't occur, at least not so often?

I see a lot of discussion here about people wanting to turn off update alerts but I have a problem in the reverse. I have TB set to "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install" but TB never tells me an update is available. I have to go into setting General and scroll down to see if one is. Is this normal behavior if auto-updates are disabled?

Following update to 133 I am having problems displaying drop down menus. When selecting a received Email on fastmail.com there used to be a drop down menu at top of screen with options to delete, move, etc. This menu is not in the displayed area on screen; i found it once by scrolling screen but then lost the Email selection.
