I have installed T'bird in a new replacement pc and also added my two accounts. However, I now need to include my many Local Folders using Profile Folder information from the old pc.

Should I delete all the account information I have installed in my new pc T'bird prior to installing the Profile Folder copy? Thanks Ron

Latest update (10/2/24) is impossible to use. How can I get back the prior version for Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 on my Macbook Air?

I have a TBI that really limits my ability to process information. The tabs now have a dropdown that is very confusing and gets in the way of my working. I have to shut Firefox and leave the computer, but of course when I am recovered from the confusion, I come back to the same situation.

I was able to find a way to stop the even-more-frustrating dropdown video preview, but it's not enough.

I have relied on FF for years, but it seem that putting more bells & whistles is more important than providing a functional browser interface. Please explain to me in plain English how to remove the overloaded browser and revert to a version I can utlize without a breakdown.

I have my settings set to automatically update Firefox. Earlier this week, Firefox 131.0 was installed through this automatic update. Since then, Firefox repeatedly and randomly crashes, and I have no idea why because it did not happen with previous Firefox versions. There seems to be a bug in the new release that is causing this.

It seems from reading on forums and googling that there is a "return receipt" function in Thunderbird. My problem is I can't find it anywhere in my software. I've searched in every category and can't even find an "Options" on the menu. I remember when Thunderbird did have a "return receipt" that was very easy to find. Now it seems that it has disappeared altogether. What gives?

Today I was notified version 131.0 had been installed. Now, when using ThinkorSwim (a Charles Schwab web-based trading tool), I can't access my banking account. Here's the error: "You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented.

I've used Schwab daily for 12+ years, and have never encountered this. Today is 1st day with FF 131.0.

All help is appreciated... I'm totally blocked from my bank! -Deke

How to disable the "Firefox for your spartphone and tablet" promotion page?

Firefox gets updates frequently and that's good. But with every update an extra tab is opened like this one: https://www.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/131.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=130.0.1&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=131

How can I tell Firefox that I know how to find it in those app stores if I was using any of them? Or that I know how to find anything that I need on the Internet?

Why this aggressive promotion? What is the business model behind those free apps?
