We are thinking of a way to migrate all of our users in our organization from IE to firefox. We would like to move as much IE user data over as we can. Is there a script or some type of documentation that could go through and grab the IE data and import it directly into firefox without any user interaction?

68.4.1 update hangs up ("About" dialogs says it is updating, but it never finishes). Neither "Run as administrator" or "Safe mode" helps. Only unique element of my setup (AFAIK) is that the profile is on a shared network drive.
I reverted to 60.9.1. And this is the second time subsequent to release of 60.9.1 that the update process has failed.

After the most recent update, Thunderbird went to Dark theme. I tried to put it back to Default theme, and it is still in Dark theme although with the task bar headers default. Putting it on Light theme makes everything washed out and colors are wrong. I was happy before with the appearance, now it looks childish and ugly. This last update seems to have broken the appearance. Can I roll it back?

I didn't realize there was no official technical support for Thunderbird. Thank you for anyone who takes time to respond. Someone hacked into a personal email and used Thunderbird to synch and possibly download to their computer. I would like to see if POP vs IMAP was used. If I changed my email password to original account (earthlink) and they only used IMAP, would that mean they no longer have access to the old messages that they had previously synched and viewed through Thunderbird? Or would that only prevent them from viewing new emails - post change of earthlink passcode?

Windows 10 Pro, Firefox 72.0.1 64bit. Long ago, I enabled "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" in Options and until a week or two ago, whenever I hovered over the Firefox icon in the taskbar, a small image of the web page in each tab would appear above the taskbar. If I hovered over an image, it would then become full screen and readable. Now, hovering over the image produces a blank, greyed out screen with a rotating blue circle that eventually becomes a tiny image. This happens on all tabs except the tab for Firefox Options. This tab operates normally and will appear normal when hovered over. I have included screen prints of the above problem and hope you can provide a solution.

Hello. I don't know but having just had to redownload the latest Thunderbird after a self-inflicted (partly) computer crash, I have set up my 3 email accounts via POP (2 Gmail and 1 main/BT one). I then went through settings to check settings for junk, keeping messages on server and so on. BUT for some inexplicable reason, I can no longer see the option for moving deleted messages ... into a folder I created for each account called, artistically,. deleted. It used to be there as an option along with all the other folder type stuff but where is it hidden now please ... or is it simply a question of "should have gone to Specsavers!" lol
Thank you. Nick

FF updated and now I'm getting this very odd message-
"The iOS 10 private browser for Safari does not support storing settings locally. Some settings may not save or some features may not work properly for you. Updating to iOS 11 to solve this issue."
This shows on some sites when I try to log in but will work in a private window. Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.2 Firefox 72.0.1
To be clear...this error appears in firefox, NOT Safari despite the text content of the message

Installation successful opens every time as part of home page with "It seems that an issue caused all filters to be removed and we were unable to restore a backup.

I check my settings but still not able to prevent the page popping up every time I open the browser.

After updating to firefox 72 (maybe it was after 72.0.1 - I did not have time to check so fast) videos on youtube started stuttering. When I start video everything seems fine but after a while it starts microstuttering - image is twitching, movement of camera is not fluent.
It looks like it is related to all videos on youtube. I watch mostly 1080p 60fps and these most often cause this issue. Example video: https://youtu.be/1La4QzGeaaQ It is easy to observe it at 1:27 with camera movement and terrain being fluent or not. If I pause video and resume play after few minutes it seems fine for minute but then it starts being choppy again. It does not seem to be related to video quality. I had 0 dropped frames in yt stats. I found workaround - if I set media.wmf.vp9.enabled to false and restart browser with this setting set to false everything is fine. But when I set it to true (like it always was for me) problem starts to occur. However no matter what I set youtube still shows "codecs: vp09". I do not have this problem on microsoft edge. I never had this problem on firefox 71 and I did not add any new extensions since few weeks. It must be new firefox fault, not my hardware or configuration.

Добрый день! Не могу синхронизировать на android. У меня установлен браузер десктопный mozilla firefox developers и на телефоне android тоже. На телефоне вошел в свою учетную запись, все в порядке. Разрешил автоматическую синхронизацию в настройках телефона. Но вкладки, история, пароли и так далее не отображаются на телефоне. В настройках браузера на телефоне написано, что никогда синхронизация не производилась. Хотя я нажимал в настройках телефона несколько раз на кнопку "синхронизировать". В браузере десктопном отображается, что я вошел в свой аккаунт на двух устройствах, но передать например ссылку на второе устройство не получается, как будто не видит, что у меня есть второе устройство.

I'm coding a website with Google Maps. I add a bunch of markers to the map and to each of those an infoWindow that is activated by clicking on the marker. Was working late 1/14 and early 1/15 (5 AM ish), but by 11:00 AM it wasn't working. I changed it to simply alert() when a marker was clicked and that didn't work either. The Google page explaining infoWindows has an example map (https://developers-dot-devsite-v2-prod.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/infowindow-simple) and it doesn't work either. My code and the Google example work on Chrome and IE. I did all the restart with add-ons disabled, restarted Firefox fresh, got rid of add-ons to no avail. Please help! I love using Firefox, but will be unable to if this isn't resolved. Thank you, Alan
