Hello I'm using TB 128 esr / flatpak on Ubuntu 25.04. I'm satisfied, but I want to install Thunderbird in parallel before switching to this version. https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/installer-thunderbird-sous-linux#w_changing-channels I read and managed to install TB "monthly beta" by extracting the tar file. It wasn't possible to retrieve the profile via the zip file because it's 2.4 GB. It seems to work, even though it uses quite a bit of CPU power, ~20%!

1/ Anyway, my main interest would be to have a usage similar to Firefox standalone, which I can use from my computer to my laptop :-) with the same profile stored on an SSD data drive. I don't want to install the profile on my computer or laptop system drives!

2/ How do I launch this version at startup?

Hi Guys,

Thunderbird version 128 is missing in the release page - https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/

Do look into this.

Regards, Asif

I see duplicate menu items for addons under Tools menu for some addons like ImportExport Tools NG for example and its developer identify the issue as longstanding Thunderbird bug on Mac.

Any idea about the isse?

I am using Thunderbird 115 with macOS 13 (Ventura). When I upgrade to macOS 15 (Sequoia), I assume I will have to update Thunderbird to the latest version (138?). Before upgrading the OS, should I update Thunderbird to version 128 so that, after the OS upgrade, Thunderbird will then be updated from version 128 instead of version 115?

Also, I found this warning (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-thunderbird-on-mac):

“If you fail to install Thunderbird to the Applications folder, every time Thunderbird starts it will not have remembered your previous session settings - it will ask you to create email accounts, or otherwise indicate that it has no data. You must drag the Thunderbird dmg file/icon to the Applications folder.”

I am currently running Thunderbird from a subfolder in /Applications. Do I have to move it before updating?

Thank you.

I have noticed that Firefox has been getting too many updates recently...even as much as 2 updates this week alone. Frankly i'm sick of getting the green icons and pop-ups in the upper right corner. Is there a way in about:blank codes to turn off these stealth downloading behaviour and prompt pop-ups to restart the browser and let me just manually do it in settings when i want to but without notifications ?

Hi Just setting up a new Surface Pro/Windows 11 and installed Firefox from Mozilla page. Firefox install completed with a crash report and has never actually run since. Every time I launch I get the app crash window. I've tried running in troubleshooting mode but same app crash. I also note that the crash reports do not get uploaded.

I have uninstalled/re-installed and also tried a fresh install but always the same issue. I also downlaoded the full installer.

Thanks for your help

I would like to be able to download thunderbird addons as part of a automated provisioning process using ansible. I am currently unable to download addons due to cloudflare bot protection. Is there an authorized/authenticated means available to achieve this?

What is this file, encrypted-openpgp-passphrase.txt-11.corrupt? I have 123 of them. I think it may be created every I migrate Thunderbird from one PC to another. Is it OK to delete them? I have no use for them that I know of.

I have notice for some time the Firefox start have updates almost daily it is not too bad whats that bug me is the matter the updates only start show up the information the availability after you log in any account or web site , never in your Firefox Home. you can stay 1 hour with Firefox open with home screen and no alert of updated show 10 second after you login in on email account or enter in any web site the pop up the availability updated what start became annoying .

Thank you .

Hallo! Mein e- Mail ist schlecht. Komm immer " Keine Mails gefunden " Bitte Reparieren sie mir mein Mailkonto. Dank im Voraus liebe Grüße Klaus Brunner PS. bin 83 Jahre und schwer Krank.

This will be a long question and in 2 parts, so I'll apologize up front.

1. I am running FireFox on my 11-year old MacBook and love it (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6). However, my printer just crapped out, and my new HP 9120e requires MacOS Big Sur (11.x.x) or later. If I update to that OS, will I still be able to use FireFox? If so, where do I find it (see Question 2, below)?

2. Since my old MacBook is clearly reaching the end of it's life and my Excel and Word apps are also ancient, I am trying to transfer all my stuff onto a "New" MacBook that is running MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1. However, the "New" computer (I will not say "improved") has been a reliability nightmare and I just had it in for service. They wiped my disk clean to install the Monterey OS. So, other than Safari, I have no browser (or anything else for that matter). When I go to the App Store to download FireFox, and don't see it anywhere. Help!
