Will thunderbird run on an iMac With a M4 chip? I’ve tried to move the app from an older iMac to my new one and all I get when I open it is a message that it’s corrupted,

I have downloaded Thunderbird from official Mozilla homepage. It seems to be installed correct. I got the icon and a question : should we start Thunderbird now. I answer yes. Then I get the message : Thunderbird is not found ? but I have just loaded it ? I am running windows 11 and I have got newest upgrade.

Hope you can help me out. Thx in advance. Regards Thorvald Antvorskov

PS I also have a PC running Linux Mint. Loading Thunderbird here was no problem.

New computer, trying to install Thunderbird. "Download" created a file called Unconfirmed 750544.crdownload which isn't executable and doesn't seem to do anything. How do I proceed to do an installation?

I'm trying to switch from Thunderbird ESR (140.8.0esr) to release (148.0). Following the Mozilla support recommendation I'm running the 148.0 setup and trying to install it to the same directory. While doing so I'm asked to restart the computer. After doing so I'm required to restart setup but continuously asked to reboot the computer. is there a zip version of the installation? if not How to overcome the restart issue?

I am trying to re-install Thunderbird on my wife's old Gateway desktop. I downloaded version 115.18.0 and tried to install it, but get a message saying it can't be installed because my OS is 32 bit. I thought the SuperNova would work for both 64 and 32 bit OS platforms. (It does work on my Toshiba laptop, which is a 64 bit Win 7 machine.) If this version of Thunderbird will not work, what about the last version that will. It was installed years ago. Thanks, Peter

Okay, I currently have two issues going on, both repercussions from transferring Thunderbird to my new computer. I'll limit this post to one issue!

My transfer to the new computer was not taking; followed instructions but no profiles were loading. I thought that perhaps this was due to my initial problematic installation of T-bird decades ago, where I eventually wound up with a choose-user-profile panel that worked fine with its default setting...so I lived with that easily (see image). Thinking that this was causing the inability to load profiles on the new machine, I tested whether I could delete the never-used profiles in that panel. After just one deletion, that resulted in the "Couldn't load XPCOM" error described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1360766 Following the instructions on that page to do a repair installation (to the letter), starting T-bird now results in the attached "profile missing or inaccessible" message.

Please advise: Am I doomed?

Thanks for any honest advice. (yes, my Thunderbird installation is big: seven or eight addresses, many local folders, a large history and archives.)

Thunderbird has turned into a scam. Each time I try to download it for windows it takes me back to the donation page. I am on my third donation but it never trys to install.

I have been having trouble with my Windows 11 laptop. In my efforts to resolve these issues I noticed that I now have two installs of Firefox in my Control Panel. Both installed during my time of dealing with my Windows issue. Five days apart Feb 5 and 10, 2026. Both show the same version number 147.0.3, and same size 322MB. I have used FF for many years so these seem to have been installed sometime during my efforts to repair Windows. My FF was never a part of the Windows issue AFAIK.

Anyway I have FF working as I like with my Session Manager and various AddOns and personal settings, so I do not want to have to start over with FF. So how do I choose which instance of FF to uninstall in Control Panel?

My issue with Windows was my Outlook would not connect to the server. I assume Microsoft Exchange server, my internet connectivity was fine. And FF was fne as well. I eventually was able to repair my M365 connectivity. Major PITA from out of nowhere.

During the installation of Thunderbird I have received the following message:

"The follwing settings were found at your email provider:

mail.your-server.de“

This is NOT my current email provider!!

What does this mean??

I'm trying to install Thunderbird on a Macbook - macOS Tahoe 26.2 I've made a donation but Thunderbird won't download.

I did not get any error messages, in fact nothing happened.

Just after installation, and before going any further like adding the email account, ; google: Error 400 "the server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know"
