Actual update or a malware ?

Hello, I've only recently started using Firefox and the browser used to update automatically, however, today, I got a pop-up message asking me to update it. It was from "Mozilla Corporation", plus at that time the browser was working extremely slow, which that got me thinking that maybe it wasn't working efficiently due to not being updated. So, I ran the program and installed the update, and later, on visiting this page, I got to know that most of such pop-ups are malwares. I got extremely scared and decided to search the update history of the browser.

It said the following:

"Firefox 100.0 Installed on: (today's date) Status: The update could not be installed (patch apply failed)."

This confused me further as I don't know if what I installed was a malware program or a genuine update.

Could you please help me out ?

We are just migrating to Thunderbird from Outlook, so quite new to Thunderbird... I have recreated an Outlook "rule", as a filter in TB to forward emails from a specific sender to a gmail address. The filter works fine on most of the mails, but fails on one with the error message:

"The mail server responded:  Syntax error - line too long. "

However, the same mail can be forwarded from the inbox with a manual forward. What is the difference between the "Forward Message to" action in a filter -and- a right click and forward to the same mail item in the inbox? ...or does anyone have any other comments? The mail item that fails is an HTML mail of 178KB.

Why is a recovery key needed & why so DAMN BIG

Look I have memory issues I already have to change my password & now I just got a recovery key as long as my arm. Do you people think any of us have such important stuff on our home, student computers we need the tools of a CFO or CEO of a major corp. REALLY I think it is time we realize 2/3 of the tools on a computer be it windows or moz:lla are superfluous. To make me have to remember that many numbers is torture or try to remember where I put the print out is mean. Is cruel and why? So our egos can feel filled with smoke? Anything more than 5 fonts is a waste. How much time do you think gets wasted while people "play" or fart around with all the empty tools on computers? The world wide web is a huge wall surrounding all the companies that take our money. You built it for them Then showed consumers shinny new toy we waste our money our time our lives and we will never be able to get into the wall you built to get back money we spent or time we wasted. A 15 number key, you think someone wants the answers to my midterm? If they need it Let them have it. You technological people, who build this trap, who blow smoke up where it tickles, should be ashamed.

Am having a strange issue with adding a GMAIL account.

I had some issues with my account, and removed all email accounts from thunderbird, and moved the profiles to a separate hard drive, in order to keep space on my normally used hard drive.

I go to add my GMAIL account, enter the password, etc, then click on "done" as all the details are pulling through

Then thunderbird opens a new window with gmail confirmation in it, but as soon as I click next/ok there, I get error 500, that's all we know.

I thought at first, it was a gmail error, but I can easily add gmail to outlook, so assume it's a error/old date in thunderbird that's causing the issue.

Any thoughts on the issue?

"500. That’s an error.

There was an error. Please try again later. That’s all we know."

I have Thunderbird 91 installed and working on a MacBook Pro. Currently running OS Mojave, but will be updating that shortly to accommodate other software needs. That update will obsolete my Outlook app (Outlook for Mac 2011, v14.7.7) I have an unfortunate number of saved emails that I need to migrate to TB for future access. I have exported those to an .olm file, but TB doesn't recognize it, and neither does Apple Mail as an intermediate step to a mailbox file (sorry, I don't know the suffix). Guidance appreciated, otherwise I just have to s**k it up and spring for a new version of MS 365 to get a new version of Outlook.

I use to click on PDF files and they would open and not download to my download folder. Well now every time i click on a PDF file it downloads it. I have tried every option in settings/general/apps and they still download in a folder. So I thought I would try MS edge and it does the same thing. Is it not the browser and was it in a MS update? It has never done this before. I don't want all these PDF files downloaded!
