I have had problems all week with firefox, it will work, then next time, say 10 minutes later I get dialogue box telling me I have opened older version and need to create a new profile, In the last 4 days I have done this 48 times, getting pissed off, got company IT to look into but no joy there, but by chance have just spotted a file, in moz maint service/logd, where it appears there was a mait service install just before I could not open, who has set this system up to update itself, but not update the shortcut file, so twice today twice yesterday and 8 times on tuesday to stop me using the service.

I updated to 62bit and lost 3 years of emails back to 2016 for current folders.

I updated Thunderbird to 64bit. When I ran it, I only had emails up to 2016. In some cases, if the folder was a new one then the emails to 2019 are there. Many folders are missing. Also, my address book is the same way. Two days ago before I did the upgrade, AT&T changed their servers from att.yahoo to att but I don't think that damaged anything since this was before the Thunderbird upgrade.

Thunderbird performed an automatic update to 68.1 from 60.9 today. Upon restart of the program, TB came up in 68.1 with empty fields. No mailboxes. Won't start Options. Can't start Troubleshooter. Everything from 60.9 is gone, and I can't figure out how to bring it all back in 68. I can uninstall 68 and reinstall 60, and everything goes back to normal, but then the automatic update cycle starts again. Please help!

Eudora (which I have used for many years) will no longer work. There are several mail boxes (folders) containing messages I have received/sent and occasionally have to refer to. I have installed Thunderbird but can not import these files/messages. Instead I get a message 'No application to import data from found.' See the attached screenshot. Eudora is still available on my machine (I simply can not send/receive messages with it) so in extremis, I can read the messages in Eudora, but, having now set up Thunderbird as my email client, it makes sense to be able to access these old mailboxes directly in the new client. What do I need to do to successfully import these messages from Eudora to Thunderbird?

Version 68.0.2
I suspect it has to do with my work environment. There is corporate management software, and I have to "run elevated" to do new installs or updates. Firefox is the only app that has had an issue with whatever they are doing. Chrome installs fine.
The IT team won't help since they say "we support Internet explorer"
In addition, I cannot update the version I have on my windows 7 and 10 machines that was installed before they added their monitoring software,
Again, this is a problem with compatibility with our corporate overlords environment that is messing up firefox. I'm hoping there are settings or logging options that will get to the cause.
I'm typing this on an old firefox (63.0.1) on a windows 7 machine.
Please don't tell me to reinstall, update video drivers, etc. Been through all that. We are talking a new installation on a new windows 10.
Thanks

If any credit card transaction have been posted to my account, I export these records to my quicken file and update my credit card account. Today I requested my QFX records (Quicken format) from Capital One and received QBO (Quick Books) and CSV (Excel-Comma Separated) format records. Separate requests returned different record formats. I ran the same process on a Chrome browser and everything worked as it should (returned my dated QFX format records). I think that I updated to 69.0.1 version today and while not sure, I think it was before I attempted to export records process. I also exported records from Chase Bank (Credit cards records- QFX format) in the updated Firefox version. I have a work around in that I can run this process on Chrome but prefer and do all of my work on Firefox normally. Not a crisis or emergency but I thought I would make someone aware the problem existed. Capital One said no one else has reported the problem but if it is related to the 69.0.1 version that may simply be a timing issue.

In the transfer pf F-fox to 69.0, 64-bit, my bookmarks haven't transferred. At least not so I can access them. I have the "places.sqlite" in 3 profiles in the AppData folder, all in Roaming, none in Local. All the "places" files are identical. I'm running Win7 latest build. What other info would be helpful? And thanks for being there. Bayard Bastedo
How do I roll my Thunderbird profile back to work in an earlier version of Thunderbird before 68.1?

68.1 disabled a vital add-on for me, "Calendar Tweaks". I tried to go back to an earlier version of Thunderbird that supports "Calendar Tweaks", but when I did, it told me that 68.1 altered my profile, and that the profile would not load in the older version. How do I go back to an earlier version of Thunderbird and still use my profile? (You should warn people when add-ons are going to be disabled by your updates, so we can avoid the update.)

I don't know what happened! This happened on Windows 10 - so that makes everything WORSE (if I was on my mac, I could have jut used TimeMachine to just go back to before this happened - problem solved).
This started because my elderly mother needed help finding an email, and so I sat down and opened Thunderbird... as a thousand times before. When I opened it, it said it needed an update. So I trustingly said ok. Expecting a run of the mill update.
Instead, IT WIPED OUT EVERYTHING and installed a completely new version! I don't know what version it had before (but I know I had updated it at least once this year?) There is no record in the system of any other version (that I can tell). But the current version is 68.1.0 which doesn't seem to match anything that I've read on here so far. That is also strange. Most discussion is around versions that are 60.x
Now, it opens as completely new, and wants the password (of which there is no record, so I have to change it). But she had a decade of folders set up and I'm 99% sure they will be lost, as they were not IMAP - I think they were on her system (or however that works - like I said, I am on a mac and use Mail). Luckily, her incoming emails are IMAP (I THINK!) Shes been using TB for a very long time, and there seemed to be no real reason to mess with it changing everything around, since it was fully functional, and this is the only place she sends emails. She will be utterly DEVASTATED. She LIVES for her emails!!!
Has anyone else had an update WIPE EVERYTHING OUT and install a new version? I've done all of her updates on this computer, and have never had anything like this happen!!!!

Is there a way to easily import EVERYTHING from emClient to Thunderbird? Emails, folder structures, accounts & passwords... everything!

I've googled the hell out of this. Seems that everything that 'might' work requires me to pay. However, I recall trying that in the past and nothing worked right... so I'm obviously hesitant to buy anything more. I originally moved to EmClient because Thunderbird was just randomly losing emails. I can't have that, so I made the move. Of course EMC made it so damn easy to make the move, but damn near impossible to migrate to anything else. Figured with Windows 10 laptop I have now, I'd give T-Bird another shot... I really loved it before. EMC works, but it's not as useful to me as TBird was. If I cannot migrate everything, then T-Bird just won't be an option.

Here's what I did: - Copied the <Thunderbird/Profiles> folder - Uninstalled Thunderbird 60 - Installed Thunderbird 68 - Copied <Profiles> folder into new copy of Thunderbird - There was no Address Book, completely blank.
How do I get my Address Book back?
I have an Aug copy of <Profiles> that might have the Address Book in it but it will not have all E-mails. What files, exactly, would I need to copy from the Aug Profile to the new copy of Thunderbird to get my Address Book back (if that is possible)?
Any and all help is appreciated. I REALLY do not want to reconstruct my Address Book, it have 700+ addresses...

Hello,
I have FF 66.0.3 installed. I was trying to install the latest update (66.0.5). After it was downloaded I got this dialog where FF is asking me to input my admin password in order to install the update.
Three things. One, I have never came across a FF update that asked for my admin password. Two, I am the admin on this machine and no password ever required to update a browser. Three, I just ran Trend Micro Security and it doesn't report any issues.
I asked one of my coworkers (same machine as mine) if he could install it on his machine. He didn't have any problems and didn't get the dialog box asking for admin password. (See attached screenshot.)
Is there something special about the 66.0.5 update that would need my admin credentials to update this thing?
Thanks.
