My existing thunderbird app does not open anymore, turns forever!

So I downloaded a new app and installed it. Now I need to connect the new Thunderbird app to the existing old inbox (2 GB) which I can with Finder. But I can not find it out of the new Thunderbird App when I choose File Open. How can I connect the inbox? Thanks very much.

If this question is posted in the wrong place, I hope the admins will move it to where it should be.

I recently purchased an Amazon SmartTV. It works beautifully with my wifi network. I cannot find the Firefox browswer in the app store. Searching revealed several articles purporting to instruct on how to install Firefox on smart TVs, but none of them worked for me. I was instructed to download and install an app called Downloader (which I did) then instructed to use a code (28907) which should have taken me to a menu where I could proceed. Unfortunately, nothing happened after entering that code. I could not proceed past entering the code.

My Tv uses a Firestick remote but does not use a FireTV stick, dongle or cube. I have other apps installed on the TV but the were either pre-installed or came from the app store available on the TV.

Is it possible to install the Firefox browser on my TV? If so, can someone point me to an article that will tell me how to do so?

TIA

I received this message from ATT whenever I try opening my email: "Something's gone wrong. You may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to WiFi could help fix the issue or try later again." However, I can get into my email through Chrome with no problem so I'm able to continue working. Would uninstalling then reinstalling Firefox help without creating more problems? I would like to continue with Firefox if possible. I have Windows11. Thank you.

I have tried 3 times to do a 100% clean out of my old Thunderbird program for a clean re-install. But it never works, so when I install TB afresh the same glitch pops back up, making the program unusable, and the process has to be repeated. Any clues anyone? I like Thunderbird! I use win 10 upgraded to win 11 and comcast provides my email service. Thanks.

While updating Thunderbird on macos 15.3.2 Thunderbird started requesting Admin login info to install a helper tool. Appears to be in some kind of loop as the install helper window goes away but Thunderbird never launches again so I launch Thuderbird and once again the install helper window appears.

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.

After recent updates, I’ve been having issues with cookies. Whenever I open Firefox and perform a new Google search, it shows that I’m logged out and the cookie consent popup appears. I have to refresh the page for it to work properly. After refreshing, the cookies load, I’m logged in, and the popup disappears. This issue isn’t limited to Google Search—it happens on about 90% of the websites I try to access right after launching Firefox.
