I can't figure out how to install Firefox on Windows 11. Their link gets me to APPS in Setting but from there I'm lost. I can't find in APPS where to allow for apps from third parties. I think MS does this on purpose.

Hello

I have used Thunderbird successfully as my primary email tool for over 10 years and today my macbook pro crashed. I need help determining if the Thunderbird data (email folders trash folder etc) is somewhere on my computer. I have a time machine back up from Sept 27 which I can live with but before I erase my computer and restore just wondering what to do? thank so much Alexander P

I have switched ISP providers, going from Primus to Bell. On my Thunderbird, Primus was POP. Bell is IMAP. When I discontinue my billing service with Primus, do I risk losing the hundreds of folders and the emails and valuable information they contain? If this risk exists, is it avoidable and how would I go about this? Basically, I'd like to be able to see the folders and mail boxes created under the Primus account in Thunderbird, and when I discontinue the Primus service be able to see and have access to those folders etc., when using Bell. Thanks to anyone and everyone who may respond to this call for help.

After a recent catastrophic failure of my hard drive, I'm starting anew with a fresh install on Windows (102.5.1 64 bit). The install seemed to go fine, and adding accounts went fine, but Thunderbird is not displaying any folders or messages. This thread seemed to be closest to my problem, but the solutions that applied did not work, and the extended discussion seemed to diverge from my problem.

Problem: No folders or messages being displayed Details: - Accounts seem to be connected - I am getting pop up alerts when new messages come in - I CAN send emails using "Write" - This is a default install with no add-ons added yet, just trying to get startup functionality - using IMAP

<Provider> does not support changing `store` on the fly. It is most likely that you see this error because you updated to Redux 2.x and React Redux 2.x which no longer hot reload reducers automatically.

I recently Upgraded to a new Mac. I updated the software to Ventura 13.0.1. Followed the Migration package as suggested by Apple. Process appeared to work well with a few exceptions. One being the subject of this question. I use the buttons on the home screen a lot. A while back I made each button use the website logo. Now I have lost those icons which were replaced by the first initial of the site. can someone help on this?

I recently made the (apparently) foolish decision to allow Firefox to upgrade using the Play store App. This is on a Galaxy S8 running Android 9. Firefox 109.2.0 was installed and upon opening the App, all of my user data was gone. No tabs, bookmarks, saved passwords or other settings were available.

This is unacceptable. There appears to be no way to recover the lost information, but I am opening this case to determine if there is a recovery strategy. Of course, I don't really want to run version 109.2.0 and will revert back to something that works without losing data as soon as the missing data is recovered.

I'm not sure why the Firefox Devs seem to think that user data is a disposable and unimportant item, but I would encourage a full review of their processes to determine why they have failed so badly.

In the meantime, if anyone has a method that might be used to recover the old profile data, that would be very helpful.

Some notes: 1) No, I don't use Sync (or whatever they are calling it today) because it is a security risk in my view to have any third party including Mozilla know my bookmarks. 2) about:profiles does not work. 3) I'm not sure what version was installed earlier, but AdBlock Plus was working fine, so it may have been a year or more since my last update.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have just discovered this great Thunderbird/Mozilla email site and I need to clean up and delete about 4 address sites so I can begin using it. Is there a way to delete them in bulk quickly? Thank you, Herb Mason

Hi, I recently had a problem with a pc but before it all went south I managed to save my data including my thunderbird profile. I imported this profile onto a spare pc no problem. The pc with the problem has now been fixed but it did require a new hard drive and a clean Windows install. I have reinstalled Thunderbird and imported my saved profile, the first time I start thunderbird all is fine and everything shows as it should. If I close it and then reopen it I get this:-

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2020-11-08-05-56-16-40961f.png

I have tried importing the profile a few times and reinstalled thunderbird tree times but still get the same result.

I'm sure I carried out the exact same proccess when I migrated the profile to the other pc with no problems so I'm not sure what is going on.

GoDaddy has migrated us all to Office365 as their email server. I'm able to receive email on my Thunderbird on Mac Big Sur 11.0, but when I send email, it asks for the password and then rejects it. I tried changing the password in GoDaddy, tried restarting the computer, and GoDaddy's support chat was not helpful. Is this a Thunderbird issue? I see from three years ago that Thunderbird did not support Microsoft's proprietary authentication stuff, but the settings all seem to be available now that match GoDaddy's specs. Thoughts?

Upon the last update (v.83), my favourite Flash golf game "World Golf Tour" ceased to work.

The makers of the game have already taken steps to move to a different platform on January 1st ... but the existing Flash version still works perfectly ... until YOU came along!

Your so-called "update" made it impossible to even load World Golf Tour's menu screen - I heard the music, but the graphics were frozen.

I'm no Sherlock - but this problem only occurred when Firefox updated.

It took me ages to downgrade back to v.82.3 - but WGT loaded perfectly when I did it.

Proving that it's YOUR fault! So don't give me this "most problems are caused by other peoples' software" stock answer crap.

I WILL upgrade to the latest version of Firefox on January 1st, not one second before.

Is there any way I can turn off the "Download Firefox Update Reminder" until then?

It's really annoying.

I am trying to download the firefox apk app. One of the instruction boxes i was reading said that this app can harm your device. I want the apk firefox browser because i would like google not to be able to pop its head into all my business. The app will not completly install on my dwvice and i am unsure why. Anyone with any experience with the firefox apk version that can give me aome guidance om safety and installation would be very much appreciated. Thanl you.

I am a Windows 7 Firefox user. A dying computer is forcing transition to Windows 10. I have used Windows Live Mail 12 for years, and have thousands of emails stored in 4 or 5 accounts on the old computer. The Mail program in Windows 10 will not accept a transfer of my emails and profiles, according to Microsoft Support (Microsoft Sales told me it would, but that's another story). Can I export my emails to Thunderbird and then transfer them to Thunderbird on Windows 10? My only other option appears to be Outlook, and that is the road to Hell. Thank you.
