Is it possible to install Tbird on different filesystem separate form the OS without having symlinks coming from the OS area i.e installing it like a portable?

I checked out a couple of Thunderbird-*.tar.xz packages from the [[Mozzilla Archive.|https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/]] Mozzilla archive. Unpacked them in the target area and discovered that the permissions of the executables were not suitable, not set to execute it was all read/write.

The official only gives you the option of the default, $HOME and no where else. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-thunderbird-linux ' "Why do this: Putting Tbird and its profile together in a separate area allows me to keep a long term backup of an account before I delete it. It becomes a trivial matter of restoring and access the contents without relying upon an existing tbird installation. This is trivial in Windows with a portable Tbird, it only adds about 350MB to the backup.

Hi Thunderbird team,

I use Thunderbird on Linux Mint and would like to use it on my iPhone too.

Could you please prioritize the iOS app and share an updated timeline for a public beta or TestFlight access?

My email- [redacted email from public community support forum] @gmail.com

I would be interested in testing an early version and providing feedback.

Thank you,

A couple weeks ago my TB V.159 crashed and I was prompted to create a new profile which I did, but I made the mistake to set the new profile as a POP account. This profile loaded and I found that a few archived subfolders were missing. Also, I'm not able even now to find a "sent" subdirectory that stores my newly sent messages and so I don't know what's happening to them. In other words, my TB V.159 is not usable.

My plan is to delete my current TB software, but before doing that, (in my Windows 11 computer), I'll change my AppData\[redacted]\Roaming\Thunderbird subfolder to AppData\[redacted]\Roaming\OLDTunderbirdOLD. This change will ensure that I don't lose any user profiles in the Thunderbird subdirectory by accident during uninstall and re-install.

I'll then download TB, and I'm inclined to download V.160 if the consensus here is favorable, and then build another user profile set as IMAP because under no circumstances do I ever want TB to delete data on my Network Solutions Internet Host server.

A final question, how do I find the password I'm currently using for TB to download my email from Network Solutions?

Many thanks for the help. Tom

Strangely, when I navigate to Thunderbird Help and ask my question it brings me to the instruction page which says to follow instructions below. And there are no instructions below!

I installed the MOST RECENT version of Firefox and I want to delete it and re instal the version I had prior. I don't know alot about computers so any help would be greatly appreciated. Ray

Hi. I just installed & synced Firefox onto my new tablet (Onn brand). I don't understand what I'm seeing. First, should I have installed desktop or mobile? Next, some bookmarks show on the home page but when I choose Show all, I have multiple folder categories & sub folders & cannot quite figure out which folder has which bookmark. I'm used to a drop down list on my computer. I would like to also set a different home page but cannot find a setting to do so. 1 more thing if I may. I also installed Thunderbird (version 24.0) & it appears there is no side bar & no obvious setting to turn it on. Big Thanks, Lee

Hi everyone, I really like Firefox—it’s been my favorite browser for 20 years, both on Windows and GNU/Linux (ever since Windows XP)—but I’ve decided to switch to LibreWolf because I can no longer stand Snap hijacking the Firefox installation I set up via the .deb package. If anyone can help me stop Snap from interfering, I’d appreciate it.

Firefoxのブラウザをインストールしたのですが、公式のファイルをダウンロードしたうえでインストールできているか不安になり、確認したいです。 検索結果の広告リンクには注意したほうが良いと思っていたのですが、一番上の広告らしい結果に出てきたリンクを押下し、そのページからファイルをダウンロードしたので、偽サイトからダウンロードしてないか気になっています。ただし、サイトの見た目自体は公式のページのように見受けられたので、恐らく正しいものをダウンロードできているとは思うのですが、念のため確認お願い致します。

ダウンロードしたファイルは以下です。 ファイルの説明：Firefox 会社：Mozilla ファイルバージョン：18.5.0.0 サイズ：496KB

I signed up for Thunderbird. Again. I've been a user for 20+ years. for the last month, I kept getting a message saying it needed a password from/for yahoo. I was stuck.....I didn't know the password and could not get rid of that message, and I couldn't open Thunderbird

So I uninstalled Thunderbird, and just minutes ago tried to reinstall. I got to the donation page, donated, but I never got Thunderbird. I cant get mail from Thunderbird. In fact, I'm not sure it's even installed. Can you help me?

Steve Tilton 847-902-5050 PS.....don't email me, as I don't have Thunderbird installed, thus no email. If you must email...please send it to : srt1002@gmail.com
