I have used Thunderbird for years with automatic update. Got a Big yellow warning - something like: this is a test version, the profile must not work in esr version. I immediately stopped. Downloaded the esr version and started it. Thunderbird could now not read my profile an initiated install procedure. I saved the profile. Can I see in the profile which version of Thunderbird it can be used under ? You aught to give i clear warning in test versions when you change an user profile.

How do I stop these recurring update notices? Every 3 seconds. I'll update when I am ready as this current one does not affect me at all. For a while I fell for it, stopped what I was doing and did the ridiculous update, it still continues! I can move on to a different non-Mozilla browser if I have too. Return the option to not update and/or do it manually. FF127.0.2

Others have had hangs and/or have asked to revert to the last version. There was a response that said something about that not being a straightforward process, but no details were given on how to do it.

Most times that these hangs happen are when I start a quick search and it has Body included in the criteria. I have to kill it or else it just sits there forever. It's fairly frequent, but I also still can't get used to this new design and can't remember where things are. I want to revert or find something else. I've been using Thunderbird since Eudora went away. I do have emails saved under Local, as well as Gmail IMAP email for several accounts.

My current version is 115.12.2 (32-bit) on a 64-bit Windows 10 Pro Dell laptop. Some years ago I'd tried to go to the 64-bit version but for some reason it would not show up as installable. That may have been a previous laptop. I have a new laptop that I need to finish setting up. It's similar to this one, so maybe it would be better to use the old version "fresh" instead of reverting on the same laptop. IF someone can provide detailed instructions.

Hello everyone,

support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will end in September with the end of the ESR 115 branch. Corresponding support article

Is this still the current status or are there any plans to support the old Windows versions for a little longer?

Thanks and regards, Martin

Dear Mozilla Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request the addition of the Vencord extension to the Firefox Add-ons repository.

Vencord is a highly useful tool that enhances user productivity by allowing users to customize Discord. Many users, including myself, rely on its functionalities for theming and plugins. Having it available in the official Firefox Add-ons repository would significantly improve accessibility and convenience for Firefox users. Right now, I am using Tampermonkey to use Vencord, but having an official add-on would be much more convenient.

I kindly request you to consider this addition. If there is any further information or testing required, please let me know, and I would be happy to assist.

I recently installed Linux Mint on a separate SSD on my Win10 PC and have now a dual boot environment.

Linux can access (r/w) all windows drives.

It should be possible via TB profile manager to access the TB profile on the windows partition.

My question: Are there any known incompatibilities between TB on Linux and Windows ? I don't want to end up having problems with the Windows installation of TB when trying to set this up.
