Hello,

After today's Thunderbird update for Windows 11, over half of the folders in the local folder are no longer displayed. However, the folders are present in the backup folder on an external hard drive.

What's causing this?

Best regards, Steffen Liebig Bautzen, Saxony, Germany

Dear helpers,

I want to upgrade the hardware of a friend - and so I moved the homedir of the user to the new system, as I have done every time before in my life. But in this special case Thunderbird will not start with the used profile.

Thunderbird generally starts with e.g. the -P switch. But it will not start the default profile of the user. I tried to go this way concerning the versions 115 -> 128 -> 140 without success. I deleted all lock files, if there were any. I spent a lot of time with e.g. copilot - but it could not help me. I'm at a loss.

Is there any documentation with a kind of step-by-step instructions? Can you give me a hint, please?

Here are the details:

Source: linux mint 20.2 uma Thunderbird 115.18.0esr 11th of december 2024

Destination: linux mint 22.3 zena Thunderbird 140.7.0esr

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,

I’m wondering what exactly "remote improvements" actually are.

Mozilla says: "Remote improvements range from fixes to feature changes to Firefox. They are delivered remotely between versions and updates to make your browsing experience stabler and richer (...)."

They are not studies or A/B tests, as those are enabled/disabled separately. They also do not concern WebCompat shims, Safe Browsing, or similar features, nor larger security fixes or more significant bugs that are resolved with a out-of-band update – correct? Is it similar to Windows CU Previews - meaning improvements, fixes, and feature changes that would be included in the next upcoming regular update anyway? Not a case of "let’s roll something out and see how users react" thing?

Have I understood that correctly?

Thanks and best regards, Martin
