About a week ago I started getting these update error messages stating "Update available - Firefox couldn't update automatically. Download the new version". I've also tried clicking "learn more" on the error message but it's a dead link. Going into the settings for updates I am set to auto update, but when I manually check for updates it says "Failed to check for updates".

The help article on this issue simply tells you to download and manually reinstall Firefox, but I'm having to do this nearly every day. I work in IT myself so I know a "bandaid" workaround when I see one. Is there a solution to this issue?

Tried to install Thunderbird, after installing see by surprise that my 30 years old emailadres (simonroos@zeepost.nl) is already registered and that Thunderbird is trying to make contact with it, tried to delete it, without succes, that was yesterday. Today I deleted all, installed Thunderbird again, using my main gmail address and when it did not work also another gmail address and get same warning: Login to server not possible, probably wrong configuration, wrong username or password. Checking and checking again, no errors found. Thank you! Best regards, Simon Roos

I've become VERY diligent about replacing my old, simple passwords.

I no longer repeat passwords, have long complex logins, everything (not to mention 2-factor notification on sites that have it)

I was shocked that after I updated to 124.0.1 that alot of my old passwords showed back up in my saved logins

Fortunately that doesn't mean that those are still active passwords on there respective sites.

However, how do I get my "saved logins" back to it's form BEFORE I updated to 124.0.1.....it seems that the update is what did it

the only solution I can come up with is just manually delete all the old ones that showed back up...I really don't want to do that

For what it's worth- I do have a "Old Firefox Data" file on my desktop

I'm currently running MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1

Thank you I hope you can help

Why did that profile files restoration restore my bookmarks and Add-Ins?

Problem moving Thunderbird data to a new computer

I replaced my computer. I followed these directions:

Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

I installed Thunderbird on the new computer. I opened Thunderbird and canceled configuring it. I copied the Thunderbird folder from my old C drive to the new computer to this folder:

C:\Users\bkoop\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

I opened Thunderbird. All my 6 email accounts were listed. I had to click on folders for the message total number to appear. Several accounts received messages but no messages were retrieved for my main email account: bkoopers@irbl.net The 20 to 50 emails that I would normally receive after I powered off the old computer yesterday and up until 5:30 pm today when I setup Thunderbird on the new computer are not there. I logged into the webmail website for my bkoopers@irbl.net account. All emails not retrieved by Thunderbird should be listed there but there were no emails in the Inbox there. I had somebody send me an email. It appeared at the webmail screen. I selected "Get messages" for that email account in Thunderbird and I retrieved that message. A few minutes later, several other new emails arrived in Thunderbird in that email account. The emails from the previous 24 hours are just not there.

In addition, I have three Add-ons that I had installed: Quick Folder Move ReFwdFormatter ReplyWithHeader

They are listed in the Add-ons screen but they do not work. They do not say they are incompatible with Thunderbird v155.9.0. Do I need to remove and re-install them?

Can anybody tell me what happened to 24 hours worth of new emails from yesterday and earlier today?
