Hi, Updating Ubuntu 24.03 to 23.10 something went wrong and the disk is no longer bootable. All the files appear to be there, but since its not bootable I can't export the data in the normal fashion.

I installed Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS on a new disk, and mounted the unbootable disk on /oldDisk. My home directory and everything else appears to be intact.

What do I need to move from /oldDisk to the new install to get my address book and emails back?

until I get this fixed you can email me: <redacted>@evvette.net as my account address won't work... thanx in advance, Steve

We use the esr channel on all work computers to ensure they are as stable as possible. However, one PC updated to 142esr and one of the plugins we use no longer works. I can't see an easy way to get back to 128.14 and can't find the download file for it on Thunderbird or Mozilla websites. It doesn't make sense that I wouldn't be able to go back considering both updates were released on August 19th, but I'm not seeing how to get back.

Any suggestions?

Support policy for Windows 10 devices with Extended Security Updates subscriptions

I looked at the system requirements page at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/141.0/system-requirements/ . For Windows devices, the operating systems supported are listed as "Windows 10 or later".

In October 2025, Microsoft officially stops providing feature and security updates for Windows 10. However, they offer consumers and businesses the option of enrolling in 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year subscriptions for Windows 10 devices which will provide another 1-year, 2-years, and 3-years of additional security updates. You can read more about this at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/extended-security-updates

For those individuals and businesses who will be enrolling devices into the Windows 10 ESU program, will Mozilla continue to support Firefox on Windows 10 after October 2025, at least for those receiving security updates through Microsoft subscriptions? Or at that point will Mozilla consider Windows 11 to be the only supported Windows operating system?

Thank you!

I made a mistake. I had 128 and went up to 140. It pretty much looks the same, but a big difference is an extension I always use says it will not work with 140. I don't care how good 140 might be; if I can't use my app, QUICKTEXT, then I don't need this. How do I go back to 128 or to a version that works with my extension?

I was following instructions for the problem of some task bar icons showing as grey boxes. Still have that problem plus added the problem that thunderbird launches with the setup accounts dialogue page. The 'help>troubleshooting information>profile file location' reveals the correct profiles that have been updated to the hour before I caused the problem. I have saved the '...roaming/thunderbird folder to an external SSD, and made a new new thunderbird installation following the instructions for moving files to a new computer. Problem persists. Thunderbird will not 'see' the profiles therefore I cannot see my emails.

Trying to set up existing email address. When I type in info, it says "Configuration found ..." When I hit done, I get "unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

I have a Mac and have been using Apple Mail. I'm not sure what to do next. I was able to open my Apple account, but that password does not appear to work.

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks

I require a copy of Firefox focus for my 87 year old mothers recent purchase of a bergstom android smart phone. My Mum knows absolutely Zero about the internet!! While I am happy for her to be able to browse the web, I am worried about here online safety and an email address increases her chances of signing into a site and imputing sensitive data. Hopefully, over time, if she learns the basic and the risks involved she can further explore the wonders of the internet? I am happy to send a telephone no, to which a direct link for the download could be sent.

Thank you

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Cynthia M.
