Today I upgraded my TB portable standalone (no portable platform) from 60.9.1 to 68.12.1 As that what it said I could upgrade to in the about window. All worked fine. Now the about window tells me I can upgrade to 78.14. But there is no portable version portable version of that available (sorry I know Mozilla do not support the standalone version). There is a portable version of 91.6. Can I upgrade from 68.12.1 to 91.6? Thanks!

Firefox used to give the option to open a file without saving. Now it saves everything to my downloads folder with no option to just open. (I am aware Firefox used to save the opened files in temp). This causes major clutter in my downloads folder and big disruptions to my work flow. Sometimes I just want to view the file and not save it to my working folder (downloads).

Is there a workaround to save to opened files in temp and the saved files to download?

Does Firefox give 2 different "save to" options? One option for a location to save downloaded files and one option for a location to save opened files?

Eudora to Thunderbird--still multistep?

I have used Eudora for years, about 20 or more. Now I find myself with a dilemma. A secure email program I signed up for must have ports assigned to incoming and outgoing servers. Alas, not possible with Eudora, but possible with Thunderbird.

However, after reading several of the threads of migrating to Thunderbird from Eudora, it appears to be problematic--new addons, missing mailboxes, etc. It's hard to tell whether that's the norm or the exception. One of the threads I read was https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228297 "Migrate Eudora mail to Thunderbird mail", which suggests starting with Thunderbird 17.0. That thread is from 3-1/2 years ago. Is this still the best way to migrate? Or is one of the Thunderbird migration tools a better and safer option.

I have literally thousands of saved emails and dozens of separate mailboxes and I don't want to lose them.

Hello,

I've set up Firefox to ask before updating, so I was taken aback by the fact that today, an update was automatically installed without Firefox asking me... (I was updated from 97.x to 98.0)

It is especially frustrating, as the mandatory "Restart" screen is broken when using several profiles, at least under Debian.

Let me know if you need more information.

Best regards,

Adonis

Support page indicated e-mail migration from Outlook had to be in Version 31.8, then allow Thunderbird to automatically update to latest version. Successfully completed migration to version 31.8, however the About Thunderbird window states that "Thunderbird is up to date" and "You are currently on the release update channel." It does not automatically update to anything.

Alternatively tried changing profile pointing, also moving Local Folders mail to profile folder for updated version 91.4.1 also installed on computer without success.

Any way to convince 31.8 to update?
