I cannot make fire fox work at all.for me. I need the file, edit, history, bookmark tool bar back. I'm pleading with you. Please I BEG you to uninstall the upgrade. Please let me have the Firefox I had last week. I,m 88 and will die before I ever!!!! i can't make anything work.I have over 5,000 bookmarks. I write for a few dollars to partly support myself. Right now I'm out of business. Where is the invisible email address? I have been using FIREFOX since it came out. i can't go through your circus. A browser should have a high degree of instinctive coordination, it shouldn't be similar to experts cryptic calculus level, when your totally unfamiliar with the level of calculus I'm sorry, I won't be able jump through hoops..

I am currently running Thunderbird 137.0.2 (64-bit) and I don't get an automatic prompt for updates and haven't been getting them since I updated to Supernova and now Nebula.

I have the settings set to Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them, which is the setting I have always had and I used to get automatic prompts for updates with a window opening to show the details of the update as I get in Firefox.

Can someone tell me how to get these automatic updates back.

I have attached a screenshot of the update window.

Thanks.

It seems like every week I've somehow muted the audio in a tab. I think this started a few months ago, but I can't remember seeing any sort of an "upgrade" alerting me to this new functionality. How do I get rid of it?? It's driving me nuts. I search google for a solution, and it's horrible AI search just refers me to an ancient thread that does not work.

Btw, I just saw an announcement by Mozilla about modernizing itself. How about getting rid of the crazy About:Config and making it easier for users to make changes?

With the progressive rollout of tab groups having ended (I am assuming that because they are available by default in fresh installations), I would expect them to be available when I sync with my Firefox profile. However, when I sign in to the browser to sync all my settings, the option disappears. I am more interested in why the rollout never reached me than being told to enable tab groups in `about:options`. The profile switcher is also not showing up, but I am not sure if that is still in beta.

I have a downloaded application of Thunderbird 78.6.1 on my computer from 2021. With my new Windows 11 Pro I had to download and install 138.0 (64 bit) and I'd like to go back to 78.6.1. Can I install it by running the application from the old download? If so, do I need to uninstall 138.0 first?. Will my address book and emails be safe? Is there any profile mix up I should be concerned about?

When trying to update Thunderbird on Ubuntu 24.04 the installer says "Quit to Update". I have quit Thunderbird and unpinned from task bar, restarted and still the same. I then decided to uninstall and used 'sudo apt remove Thunderbird' which says it was removed, I then used 'sudo apt purge Thunderbird' which comes back with Package 'Thunderbird' is not installed, so not removed. So tried again, Guess what same result! Any Ideas please?

sudo apt purge thunderbird Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package 'thunderbird' is not installed, so not removed 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 3 not to upgrade.
