A couple of years ago an OS "upgrade" from Kitkat (4.4.4) to 5.x on my Google Nexus 7 tablet rendered it so slow as to be useless. I set it aside and didn't think about it until recently, when I thought it would be a good eReader. I found a YouTube video that told me how to reinstall 4.4.4., which I did successfully. But it amounted to a factory reset, which means that all the installed apps, including Firefox, were deleted.

I'd now like to reinstall Firefox, but can't find a version that works. The last version I had on the Nexus 7 was 68. I realize that this is outdated and probably no longer supported, but I'd like to install it anyway. Where can I get this version?

Thanks.

I need to move my Thunderbird portable profile to a new Thunderbird installed version.

I installed Thunderbird and looked for the profile folder using the troubleshooter.

I copied the portable profile to the installed profile folder.

On running Thunderbird it was blank.

I tried to add the inport/export profile extension, but it would not appear.

Whats going on?

I bought a new HP laptop to replace my old HP laptop and downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird, 78.90 I was using an older version on the old one. Now my Inbox is there on the new laptop with current emails but the 20+ folders and emails under the Inbox in the old computer dont show up on the new one.

How can I fix that? Is there an addon I can use? Any help would be appreciated, thank you kindly.

I'm having some trouble here doing a migration from Outlook 2019. Whether in the latest version or version 31.8, Thunderbird is not finding my Outlook file. Currently, the file is in a non-standard location. Where does it need to be? Will it need to be on the C: drive (which is rather small)? Or can it be found on the D: drive?

I've looked at other means of importing. I tried exporting from Outlook into a CSV file, but Thunderbird does not see all of the columns that were exported. For instance, the email addresses were not in that second column to be paired. That's rather useless.

Another option that came up in the search of previous answers was to export to vCard. It does not appear that I have that option in Export. And individually saving hundreds of contacts as vCards is not a particularly viable option, either.

What would you suggest?

updated Firefox and lost everything, I can get over no bookmarks but what I don't understand is the distortion of the screen, big green blocks and changing letters from letters to blocked out squares making my email look like it has been redacted. How can I fix my Firefox installation to stabilize the font. I tried reinstalling and updated the advanced settings but I don't think that is the issue, it almost seems like a virus.

This particular site (donjon.bin.sh) and others like it have a feature that generates a slightly different image than the one generated by its randomizer, in this case a D&D map for the players that doesn't have the same info as the one for the DM. There is no online version of the player map that can be viewed, it can only be downloaded via the "Player's Map" button (pictured). When I click the button, the pictured dialog box opens up, but no matter what settings I input in the dialog, the "OK" button remains unclickable. There does not seem to be another way for me to download this image within Firefox, since there is not a rendered image on the page for me to right click -> save.

Emails sent or receive from home PC do not appear on work PC even though the account settings are the same

I have 2 PC's, one at home when I work from home and one at work when I'm at the office. For my work emails, I have thunderbird installed on both machines with the same settings (POP mail server).

The problem I have is that any emails I send or sometimes receive from one location do not appear at the other. For example, if I send an email from home, it doesn't show in my sent items at the office (and vice versa). Also, some emails that I receive whilst at the office do not show up at home (and vice versa).

I've scoured the internet for a solution but haven't had any luck finding an answer to my exact issue. The last thing I tried to do was to delete "global-messages-db.sqlite" and re-index, as said to do on this page https://www.systoolsgroup.com/updates/thunderbird-not-downloading-new-messages/amp/ but that doesn't seem to have fixed anything =(

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Firefox bugged me for weeks to "upgrade to the new release". Then Firefox got wonky so I thought, OK, cant be tooo bad... Instead of just upgrading to a new release, it started me back to 1998 when I converted from NETSCAPE to FIREFOX 1.0. It blew away the last Previously 22 years and made me start EVERYTHING from scratch.

IF I remember correctly FIREFOX used to leave your PROFILE, CONFIG in place and just update the "code". BUT this time, it wiped or hide all my BOOKMARKS, ADD-ONS... I thought I could find my old PROFILE but could not.

Can someone help me get BACK TO ALL MY "STUFF" LIKE BOOKMARKS, ETC? I really USED to like the ADD-ON ONE TAB until now as it "says" EXPORT AND IMPORT but all those URL'S just disappeared and ONE TAB does not bother to tell us WHERE they store them on my PC.

I "thought" IMPORT meant "bring them back" but not to "ONE TAB". My dilemma now is, I really dislike Chrome, Edge.. now I dislike FIREFOX too.

Hi, I recently had a problem with a pc but before it all went south I managed to save my data including my thunderbird profile. I imported this profile onto a spare pc no problem. The pc with the problem has now been fixed but it did require a new hard drive and a clean Windows install. I have reinstalled Thunderbird and imported my saved profile, the first time I start thunderbird all is fine and everything shows as it should. If I close it and then reopen it I get this:-

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2020-11-08-05-56-16-40961f.png

I have tried importing the profile a few times and reinstalled thunderbird tree times but still get the same result.

I'm sure I carried out the exact same proccess when I migrated the profile to the other pc with no problems so I'm not sure what is going on.

I am not new to Mozilla or Firefox as my first version was 1.0 in ~ 1998. I rarely use the current version of Firefox as; it never works 'out of the box', one has to learn to use the 'new features' by trial and error as there are no instructions of the 'changes'..... Being BUGGED for weeks every second to "upgrade", they wore me down. I tried to install rel 87.0. I got a message warning that using an older release would be disastrous and the two options was “EXIT or CREATE A NEW PROFILE". I choose EXIT. IT REFUSED TO CONINUED. It only accepted "NEW PROFILE". After 87.0 came up, EVERYING WAS GONE, BOOKMARKS, HISTORY, ADD-ONS....and an hour later trying to customize the toolbars.... AND features like the old "+" TO ADD A NEW TAB.... IT REALLY "GOT MY 'GOAT'. [A NICER FORM OF HOW I FELT ABOUT MOZELLA/FIREFOX PERSONNEL] and rel 87.0 There are NO actual instructions on how to go to your old profile which MIGHT let you see, restore all the crap a NEW PROFILE LOST. Now I am blank and lost all the time I spent trying to customize 87.0 hours ago. AM I THE ONLY ONE FRUSTRATED WITH "MOZELLA" And its "personnel"?

ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO RECOVER ALL MY "HISTORY" I LOST WITH THIS 87.0 FIASCO? Or am I SCREWED.
