I have downoloaed Firefox offline installer (a .xz file) from here:

https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/139.0b9/linux-x86_64/en-GB/

I have also downloaded a .asc file, presumably a pgp signature.

Now both files are saved locally in my computer.

Assuming Linux latest release, how do I verify the contents of the offline installer file (.xz) from the Linux Terminal? I have install gpg tools. And commands like ```gpg``` are available.

What I did so far:

 gpg --show-keys --with-fingerprint firefox-139.0b9.tar.xz.asc

with this output:

 gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Do you really want us to verify the contents of the installers you provide? A sha256 sum would be great, though not as secure, for when the GPG predictably fails for the ordinary user due to its huge and useless complexity and bureaucracy.

I am professional developer and deliver Android rugged devices to professionals. I do not want to log on my personal Google account just to install Firefox via Google play. I am used to install via adb commands the apk packages. Why cannot we find the apk of Firefox easily to download ? thanks

I normally use Fedora but my Fedora machine died yesterday. For a time being I want to use Thunderbird on my Mac.

I have a backup of my thunderbird profile directory from Fedora 42. This corresponds to thunderbird-128.8.0. On the other hand, the current version on the mac is thunderbird-138.0.2.

1. Since the version number is higher on the mac I think I will be able to use the old 128.8.0 profile with the new mac version ?

2. If I do this, I will not be able to transfer my profile back to Fedora when I get it working again (because the version number there is lower) ?

3. Is there a way from me to install thunderbird-128.8.0 on the Mac so that I will be able to transfer my profile back to Fedora ?

Please let me know if Firefox VPN is now made available for installation for Indian subscribers.

I am aware that Firefox may not have a server in India,as per our laws.

            Thanking You,

Dear Support,

I hope somebody may be able to help. Many years ago, Firefox used to have a 'stripped down' version. This type of version, I cannot for the life of me remember its name, was able to be used to open the browser. It was a minimal version of the browser, starting with no bookmarks, no passwords, no extensions etc. It just allows the browser to start. It can then be used by developers to test out if the browser works with a certain app.

Be most grateful for the name of this version of Firefox for Android. Would just like to report a bug with the latest version of Firefox for Android using the Bugzilla system, Marek

I have a dual boot Windows / Linux Mint dual boot pc with the profile on the windows drive. I have Thunderbird installed on both and the Linux Thunderbird linked to the profile on Windows. This has up until now worked for me. The Windows Thunderbird is on the esr channel (140.0.1esr) and the linux Thunderbird is installed from the software repository. I'm guessing the two Thunderbird versions on Windows and Linux have gotten out of "sync"? Now when I use the Linux Thunderbird I get the message that the profile has been modified by a newer copy of Thunderbird (the last update on on Windows).

UbuntuHandbook.org details how to install Mozilla Thunderbir via ppa.

I would really like to access my emails from both operating systems.

Can I install Thunderbird via the ppa command to get the esr client over the top of the existing Linux Thunderbird or should I uninstall the existing package first? Do you guys think this will work? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I wish I could find checksum files (e.g. SHA256) along the Fenix apk releases published here or there as linked from the documentation page.

Does anybody know where I can find them? Or, if they don't, when can we expect such checksum files to exist? It would indeed be useful to know this information when downloading files to check their integrity.

Thanks.

I using Win 10 and Thunderbird update 140.

I am unable to download or open messages, except those in folders. Seems to be file access or network errors, although my internet connection is fine and Thunderbird shows I am online. Problem happened after I did an Inbox repair. I have thousands of old messages and wondering if that is the problem.

It stopped downloading messages after about 5000, the latest in my Inbox being from 2020--but when I click on one it says "loading" email (or content), but it never loads, is just blank.

Is it safe or advisable to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? Will it pick up my old profile, settings, folders, etc? Or will I have to reconfigure everything?

My mail is stored on Comcast and I have at least 25,000 emails.

Thanks for any help Richard

Hello everyone,

We have been using Mozilla Firefox ESR (32-bit) in the organization for several years. For installation on our clients, we use "Matrix42 Empirum" as the software distribution tool. All it does is install the MSI of Firefox.

However, for quite some time now (almost 2 years), we have been facing an issue where some installations are marked as successful (Error code 0), but once the MSI installer is automatically closed, files like "firefox.exe" disappear from the installation directory – despite the installation being marked as successful.

The problem doesn’t always occur, but a repair attempt usually resolves the issue.

In addition to Empirum, we also use Defender for Endpoint, but we couldn’t find any clues there.

Is this problem known, or are we the only ones experiencing it?
