I know from visiting other forums that updates to Firefox have been released, but MSIX is not installing them - or even notifying me, much less asking if I want to install them. For example, Help > About Firefox shows that I am running V.129.0; yet I'm pretty sure that V.120.0.2 has been released.

Why? What can I do to ensure that I'm running the latest release?

I've restarted Firefox to see if that would work. It did not. I haven't rebooted to see if that works; but, even if it does, that seems to be a rather drastic effort to install a new version.

????

Hi all, I have a docker container which is running Ubuntu 20.04 and the lightweight desktop GUI. I need Firefox up and running in order to access the application for which was the intended use of this container. However the lightweight desktop apparently doesn't have some of the services running like systemd and snap. There is a binary named "Firefox" already installed at /usr/bin/firefox but I've tried "systemctl start firefox" but that didn't work. Any ideas on how to get Firefox up and running? Thanks Norm

This has happened on three accounts. The settings are exactly the same on the machine next to it which is running thunderbird OK on WIN 10. The new machine is running sonoma 14.6.1 Back to Apple mail me thinks.

I recently installed Linux Mint on a separate SSD on my Win10 PC and have now a dual boot environment.

Linux can access (r/w) all windows drives.

It should be possible via TB profile manager to access the TB profile on the windows partition.

My question: Are there any known incompatibilities between TB on Linux and Windows ? I don't want to end up having problems with the Windows installation of TB when trying to set this up.

I recently created a new profile, changing from POP3 to IMAP in order to meet the new Microsoft security requirements. All went well until I went to change my address book backup copy routine to access my address book in the new profile.. I cannot find any .MAB nor .SQLITE files anywhere! My address book is out there somewhere, as I can bring it up in Thunderbird, but I cannot find the actual file. What's going on?

Hello,

I am running Thunderbird 115.13.0 and cannot get e-mail from my bellsouth.net account on my MacBook Pro #6 computer. I get the error messages below. I have another MacBook Pro #5 running Thunderbird 102.15.1 that is receiving e-mails just fine. As far as I can see the server settings on the two computers are the same. Any advice about how to proceed? Thanks for any ideas.

This should be a simple issue but I've been struggling for ages. I changed email host and have a backup of my profile taken before the changeover, which caused my (IMAP) emails to disappear. But I have that backup profile. That one I've called 'Profiles - old' and placed in in the same folder (>>>Roaming>Thunderbird ) as the new one, called simply 'Profiles'. Only Profiles is read but I can use oneor the other by swapping the names around. There are emails in that Old profile that I want to copy to the new one without losing what's already there. As I say, this ought to be a simple matter, and it probably is, but so far I've waded through reams of online instructions that I've found to be either inapplicable or more less unfathomably techie and not come up with a solution. Help would be much appreciated!

How do I stop these recurring update notices? Every 3 seconds. I'll update when I am ready as this current one does not affect me at all. For a while I fell for it, stopped what I was doing and did the ridiculous update, it still continues! I can move on to a different non-Mozilla browser if I have too. Return the option to not update and/or do it manually. FF127.0.2

We have been asked to change server settings to OAuth2 on Thunderbird. I thought I had followed instructions properly from the internet but emails will arrive now but I cannot send any. I keep getting a box asking for my password which then isn't recognised. Should I be going into my gmail account via Gmail itself rather than Thunderbird. We have 2 Gmail accounts and 2 outlook accounts coming into Thunderbird I am not a wizz kid at all this and only understand simple instructions. I am wishing I hadn't altered anything now!
