I have had Thunderbird on Laptop #1 for years. There are many folders on it. I have many message filters I rely upon to sort my messages. Laptop #1 is Thunderbird 15.18.0 (32 bit) on on esr update channel. I am working on having a different Laptop #2. I have installed Thunderbird 144.0.1 (64-bit) Release Channel on Laptop #2.

My email client uses POP mail.

I wish all of the folders and setting I have on Laptop #1 to migrate to Laptop #2. That has not happened. Please advise if you know what I need to do to accomplish this. As should be apparent, I am not an IT pro.

Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

Hi, Just got computer back from shop where - rather than upgrade - they did a clean install of Win11. I was under the impression from them they'd backup everything on a new "backup" drive they installed to double my capacity as part of the upgrade process.

They're version of backing up Thunderbird left me with a folder "Thunderbird_profile_backup.zip" that is 9,698,657kb in size.

I am attempting to install Thunderbird on the essentially new computer and restore all data from the previous installation.

Is this even possible anymore at this point?

I have data in that file that is important not only financially but archived family info from now deceased members... I'd really like to recover it.

In short help! lol.

Your instructions for migrating passwords from Safari to Firefox are outdated, ex.: there is no "Preferences" option, and no "..." to export

My Safari version on Macbook Pro is: Version 18.5 (20621.2.5.11.8) And my Macbook Pro runs: Sequoia 15.5

Hello. I wanted to know whether it was possible to connect another browser data, as I usually use two browsers: Safari and Google Chrome. I added my data on safari when setting up Firefox, but I would like to add the data on chrome as well. Is there any way to do so?

I have no idea what passwords from . csv.files are or where to find them on my Asus LinuxMint laptop?

 The only password and username that i entered into my LinuxLaptop  are the only usernames and passwords

that I've entered into my new computer. I've also entered my google Chrome username and password to set up my Thunderbird email service. I never wanted to sync all my usernames and passwords in my Acer laptop computer because I felt that that made it too simple for a hacker to access all of my personal Information and access to accounts. Mozilla Firefox wants a password for csv files or tsv files or HTML files ? I don' know what any of these files are or where to go to to find them or the passwords for these files. I just want to successfully transfer all of my Favorates folders and files then all my Documents and picture files to my new computer. I'm a Photography artist, Graphic Designer,abstract painter, and creative writer. I can't move forward in my creative pursuits without completing these tasks. Thanks very much for your help and information. I'm soon to be 80 years old and not a very good keypuncher on a computer. I'm happy to leave Microsoft Windows and Google behind but Linux Mint is all new to me.

I copied my home page from my old installation to another (new computer) - yadda.htm

I found out that the bookmarks toolbar is Installation Specific (boo) and that the export/import process on Firefox for the toolbar (according to Google) is hidden, convoluted. and a complete enigma (to me - can't be easy for anybody, really)

Could you please tell me how I can add to my new bookmarks toolbar from my old browser/installation without having to recreate them from scratch at my new installation?

Thank you.

You listed some processes for importing Bookmarks,folders and files from a laptop with Google Chrome Bookmarks with passwords from CSV files or Bookmarks from HTML files. I didn't have my printer installed on my new Linux Mint Firefox Laptop so I couldn't print out the instruction to follow. Hopefully, I now have my Canon Printer installed on my Linux laptop so that I can print out all the instructions in detail. The information was posted to the right of this comment box. Please post the information again so that I can print it for reference and to follow. Thanks very much.

Basically, i need my tabs restored. I tried lurking around. I lurked moar. I chatGPT it. I even tried to find tech support. Nothing helpful ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I have a lot of tabs that i need and they accumulated over months of my chrome usage. I successfully restored history and other things, but not open tabs. Well, how do i restore them or do i have to manually open all of them?

Note: i deleted chrome already

I want to switch from stable version to nightly and I can't see data import for this (now there is edge, etc). Of course i can use edge as a transit point, but still...
