Hi all, I have a docker container which is running Ubuntu 20.04 and the lightweight desktop GUI. I need Firefox up and running in order to access the application for which was the intended use of this container. However the lightweight desktop apparently doesn't have some of the services running like systemd and snap. There is a binary named "Firefox" already installed at /usr/bin/firefox but I've tried "systemctl start firefox" but that didn't work. Any ideas on how to get Firefox up and running? Thanks Norm

I'm curious about integrating Internet Download Manager with Firefox. Can you provide a quick guide or steps on how to achieve this seamlessly? Your assistance would be highly valuable. its important to me because i run a small online bussiness of Office Cleaning Solutions and i upload and download vedios from my site. but IDM is not integrated . Please solve my this quary.

I recently created a new profile, changing from POP3 to IMAP in order to meet the new Microsoft security requirements. All went well until I went to change my address book backup copy routine to access my address book in the new profile.. I cannot find any .MAB nor .SQLITE files anywhere! My address book is out there somewhere, as I can bring it up in Thunderbird, but I cannot find the actual file. What's going on?

Running TB 115.12.2 (32-bit), Windows 10 10.0.19045 Build 19045

I updated to 125 in order to install a new version of an add-on that has been made compatible. But two other add-ons are now incompatible.

How do I roll back to 115? I have a backup of my hard drive with 115 installed and working. Is it enough to copy the old Thunderbird folder and the /Program Files/Mozilla Thunderbird folder?

Hi I am trying to download Thunderbird onto a new laptop. I clicked on the download button and it asked for a donation. I made the donation, but it didn't download. Now when I try and download again, I am asked for a donation again. How can I get passed this point, please?

I'm installing Thunderbird on a new computer, now with Windows 11. I had exported my entire email set from the old computer. When importing on the new computer it pulled in all my old folders and the emails in them -- except for my inbox. A few emails were pulled in but another 800 were not. What can I do to import them?

I have only my profile file (eg 1b3ylg2i-default) from backup. I copied it into the Thunderbird\profiles folder on the new computer. I have tried changing the information in the parent higher up files (installs.ini and profiles.ini) to match, but no luck. Thunderbird complains that it cant find my profile. The source computer is dead, I have only this file as backup.

Is there a way?

Hello! After installing update 129.0.1, in the profile folder, along the path: AppData/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles, a folder "extensions store menus" appeared, it contains the file data.life.bin, which changes its modification date as if it was synchronized when the browser closes. I would like to know if anyone else has this folder and file? . I checked the file for viruses, it is clean. Thanks in advance for your answers).

I followed the productivity tip to use 'baskets' called Respond, To Read, and Revisit and found it quite useful.

Then Thunderbird updated to Nebula 128.1.0esr (32-bit) and now I can't find the three 'baskets' - they've vanished.

Of course I don't know what messages were in the baskets and can't find them now.

Please help Duncan

PS I have folder modes set to "All folders"

My Firefox install apparently did a background update that did not complete, I get an error 'XULRunner / Error: Platform version '129.0' is not compatible...'

I did not (do not) have a profile I had logged into for that installation, but did have many passwords saved that I'd like to still be able to use if at all possible.

I have installed another instance of Firefox that is working (on platform 129.0), and am using Windows 11. I also turned off automatic updates in hopes of preventing this in the future.

The previous profile still exists in AppData/Roaming, but I don't know how/if I can connect it to the new installation I now have.

Is it possible to either fix the incomplete update or connect my old profile to this new instance so I don't have to reset all my passwords?

Thanks!
