As with millions of people I am forced to abandon my Win 10 computer for a Win 11 one. Since I have been using TB for many years (and before that Eudora) I would like to transfer all of my TB “data” to the new computer. I have copied my profiles to the new computer. The first thing I tried was to replace the new TB profiles with the old ones. Some apparently transferred and some didn’t, like all of the email folders. Could you please give this old man simple instructions on how to transfer TB?

I have used Firefox for many years without opening a Firefox account and have accumulated many bookmarks. My computer has just had its operating system and solid state hard drive replaced and all of the old files and data transferred to the newly installed hard drive. I just now opened a Firefox account so I could ask the question about how I might recover the bookmarks and load them in Firefox. After reading some of your support pages it seems likely that the bookmark file was transferred into the new operating system. I would like to find out how these old bookmarks can be loaded to the Firefox program now loaded onto my computer.

I have just completed a new installation of Ubuntu 22.04 and opened Firefox. On the Settings page, I'm seeing a message that says, "Your browser is being managed by your organization." My device is a personal home desktop not connected with any organization. Why am I seeing this message on a brand new installation?

Hi Firefox I installed Firefox and I have a problem with transferring passwords from Chrome to Firefox because I don't see the option to export hala to it, how can I do it and do I need the PC version to do it? Best regards, Kacper.

I have the Android version of Firefox

I have a new windows 11 laptop. Transferring from a windows 10 laptop. I have installed Thunderbird on new machine. It is also my email on old machine. I have clicked on import within Thunderbird. The instruction is to go to C:/Users/myusername/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/b4553kng.default NB I can't find backslash on my keyboard, so I'm using / When I look in myusername, there is no folder called AppData There is a folder called Roaming, but it just has folders Intel/Wireless, which is empty. In C: Program Files, there is a folder called Mozilla Thunderbird, but it has no folder called Profiles. I have seached C: for any folder called AppData, but no results. Can anyone help?

Despite finding a search result for how to import bookmarks to firefox, I am unable to locate a menu on my Chromebook my Android device or my iPad which lets me locate and import bookmarks

I am trying to import my passwords and bookmarks from Chrome but the instructions available don't work. The menu options don't exist in my firefox as installed on Android tablet and it's my only device- no computer available. I am bedridden so cannot go anywhere to do anything. Chrome is overheating my tablet so I can't use it. I loved Firefox when I had a computer. Is there a way to import these without a separate personal computer?

I've been using Thunderbird for years under windows 7 and keep my data on a separate drive. Is it possible to migrate or move the whole program and data base into Linux at a later date? I haven't used Linux yet, but need to know if it's possible to successfully make the move before I jump. Thank you.

I didn't find anything quite like this in the forums.

This article：https://support.mozilla.org/kb/install-firefox-linux. I want to install Firefox offline or use the deb package directly. My system is arm64.

Problems with importing a profile having successfully exported it. As the profile is larger than 2GB I couldn't create a ZIP file. Having imported the profile my historical emails are not showing.

I've tried 7 times to import my bookmarks from Chrome into Firefox. Firefox says that the import was successful each time, but the bookmarks aren't showing up in the Bookmark Tool Bar. It's only showing the older import, not the latest. If I go to one of the new pages, it shows that it is bookmarked, but the list that it belongs to is nowhere to be found....

So how do I update to the newly imported "Imported From Firefox" folder?

I need to copy my Thunderbird profile from my Linux partition to the MSWindows one. All the tutorials I've seen claim I can just let MSWin create it's AppData directories, exit TB, then copy my profile and profile.ini over to there.

Doesn't work. It ignores my existing profile and starts creating a new one, and wants me to enter a new account. have 10 different accounts, filters, and other customizations, and I am *NOT* going to manually recreate everythin

I had a computer running Windows 10 and Thunderbird. I was able to recover the Thunderbird folder as the computer crashed. I noticed 2 folders under profiles. One is default and the other one default-release. Both of them have data. I got a new computer running latest revision of Windows 11 and after installing Thunderbird and NO setting any account I checked the Thunderbird folder and found 2 folders under Profiles One is default but has only one file and the other one is default-release having a bunch of different folders (data). Now following thunderbird help video to transfer data to a new computer I am presented with a question Do you want to merge the backup Thunderbird folder with the new one and have no other option? If I answer yes I will not have any previous data and if I answer no I am wondering I will ended up with 4 folders under Thunderbird folder and unpredictable output opening Thunderbird. Can you please help me guiding me how to get the original structure as I had in my original computer running Windows 10. Thanks

I need to import my passwords from Bitwarden. I can export them from Bitwarden as a CSV file, but that doesn't show as an option in the Import Data window in Firefox. I use MacOS 10.14.6. Thank you, Tim

Hello, Thanks for the answer to my previous question, but I read "Import settings and data into Thunderbird for Android" - "How To Import from Thunderbird Desktop". Unfortunately I can't "Scan the QR code from Thunderbird Desktop", nothing happens when I "Align the QR code provided from Thunderbird Desktop". I wish you a good day.

I have two accounts set up on Thunderbird. One new one with just the basic sub folders and an old one (no longer 'functional' due to failed service provider) which has many sub folders.

I have a multitude of filters on the old account directing incoming emails to appropriate sub folders and I want the same filters on the new account. Is there any way of just copying the old filters to the new account to save redoing each individual filter from scratch?

(Uptodate Thunderbird 144.0 (64-bit) on Win 10 desktop)

Any advice welcome Thank you
