How do I get LIBREOFFICE to work in FF? D/L went fine. It's an AFTER D/L ERROR: requires a 64-bit Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE. FF won't work with JAVA though. Can't find workaround add-on.

LibreOffice error: LibreOffice requires a 64-bit Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart LibreOffice. https://hub.libreoffice.org/InstallJava/?LOlocale=en-US

I found nothing in FF extensions add-ons to facilitate this program/app. FF won't work with JAVA files but they provided no alternative. LibreOffice is the only free Office-like program/app. that is currently up and working today that I can find on any list I've pulled via browser on the first page or two.

It is so confusing to go to Edge or Chrome to use it - and hard to move things from FF over to Edge to get to LibreOffice - can't follow what I'm doing that way. I want to use FF. I feel safer there.

I don't trust downloading from random sites. Bait and switch for files. Malware. If there are is a trust-worthing d/l workaround pls tell me. I;m not up on them - not in the loop.

I need assistive technology really - this is just a start for me to get organized. You can give me advise on what keeps you swift and organized if you can too. Appreciate that much too. Thanks for any help.

Hi!

When Firefox 96.0 rolled out on my machine, I was surprised to see my old Firefox Quantum theme default to dark. I did not enjoy this new behavior, so I tried to downgrade to 95.0.2. After installing it, Firefox told me it couldn't load the user profile, as it was used on a newer version of Firefox.

I have no idea where exactly I read this, but some website contained an instruction to erase compatibility.ini and that would allow me to use the profile on older versions. Tried that and it actually worked. I did notice that, when Firefox tried to update, it would say it failed. I was hoping that, once I find a solution to the forced dark mode and I update Firefox, the problem would go away.

Fast forward a few weeks, I found AutoConfig and browser.theme.toolbar-theme option in about:config. So I updated Firefox manually and applied AutoConfig and my original problem was gone.

Fast forward more weeks, there is another update for Firefox. And Firefox was still unable to automatically update. So I tried reconstructing compatibility.ini, which I did fully. But Firefox still won't update.

At this point, it's been like 3 months with a crippled user profile and I must say I'm tired of updating Firefox manually.

Is there any way I can fix this profile? If not, what exactly should I copy over so all my preferences, cookies, addons and themes get carried over to a new one?

PLEASE help me find a way around this 'so called' improvement of auto downloading any attachment or file to my Downloads folder without any choice from me. I have checked the 'always ask' in General settings, waste of time. When prompt asks what you want to do, it auto downloads even if you say open and do NOT check save option. This is MAJOR frustrating, makes extra work for me to have to remember to go back to Downloads to delete all these files. We should have the right to make that decision on whether or not we want to save it to our computers and take up space. I view many files daily, most are NEVER saved...PLEASE either UNDO this feature you have implemented or give us a way to work around it, ie: make the General settings option actually apply as to what we select, at present this option is NOT working.

I cannot setup thunderbird 91.7.0 - 64 bit to yahoo with imap and oauth2. I checked various articles to make sure I use the correct parms. Even tried using the auto parms thunderbird provides which seem to be correct. I go thru the process of entering my password and clicked AGREE to "I agree to the Yahoo OpenID Oauth terms". Then I get the error. I made sure no yahoo.com cookies. I made sure no stored yahoo passwords.

Am I missing something? Hopefully something simple. Bob

I downloaded a Windows 10 update last night. It was Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267202 (Version 1.361.793.0). Now, I cannot open Firefox. When I click on Firefox for around half a second I see an error box that says "Open Firefox in troubleshooting mode?" and nothing else, with no option to click yes, then the box closes. The same thing happens when I try to run firefox.exe -p to change profiles. I also cannot open Tor Browser, and I am wondering if there is a connection. I have tried uninstalling Firefox using the uninstall tool and reinstalling but I have the same issue. I uninstalled the windows update and opened Firefox. This time, it had the "Open Firefox in troubleshooting mode?" box but I could actually click on the yes option, and Firefox opened. However, when I clicked on the option to get a fresh install and remove the extensions, Firefox closed and I am back to the same place of it not being able to open again.

Have been trying to upgrade for quite a while now but 68.12.1 is the last version that works. Any newer TB is mostly blank, settings can't be opened, the hamburger menu on the top right doesn't work. Account manager can be opened and shows accounts correctly.

Versions I tried: 78.5.1, 78.10.2, 91.7.0. None of them work.

Remedies I attempted to no avail:

  • Delete global-messages-db.sqlite
  • Create a new profile
  • Delete AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird completely (with backup)

I'm on Windows 10 (64bit 21H2). Downgrading to 68.12.1 restores full functionality.

My main motivation for upgrading is for a potential fix to the RSS address cannot be found bug.

Is there any chance I can get a newer version running?

Hello,

when i) I open the computer, ii) when I click " Get messages" or the Thunderbird does it itself (I have settings to download every 5 minutes) not ALL messages are downloaded into my inbox (from Gmail) but only 2 messages. And then another 2, etc.

This is very tiring and lasting. Can you help me set up Thunderbird to always pull ALL messages? Tx and brgds Marko

I watched the video about how to transfer thunderbird 91 and have attempted to follow it. I get to the point where it says to install thunderbird on your new device but do not open any account. Everytime I install it(which I have done TMTC times now) it installs my old thunderbird account that transferred without my contacts or archived files. I tried just opening it by custom instead but that brought me somewhere where there is no 'roaming' to go back to. at top is says local disk C>program data>mozilla>updates>D788FSDD33499EC2. What am I doing wrong? I have uninstalled thunderbird several times. I don't want the mess that transferred that now I can't get rid of. I want the set up as it is on this thinkpad that I am returning to lenovo because is has multiple problems, like people can't hear me on zoom. Thunderbird, however, works fine on this thinkpad. I need the archived messages by year; what transferred when my husband did it is a bunch of archived messages not separated by year with a lot of them missing. I need my contacts. None of them transferred when he did it. They are all still here on this thinkpad, but I need to get them transferred so I can return this and get the refund(lenovo agrees this is a defective unit that I purchased on Black Friday sale but they don't have one like it and aren't expecting any for a few months so they said I needed to just return it)

As above. clicking on the downloaded file appeared to work, but upon first run it asked to be copied into the apps folder, but instead of going there it was copied to Volumes as a mounted device. It was the same .dmg filename, which when clicked just tried to install again. It appeared on the desktop as a device and had to unmount it.

Maybe I should try version 68 of T-bird, but how? Where to find it?

Thanks. Bill Blue, [removed email from public]
