hej, you write oh dear, no print is possible :-((( but you write to me, that I have win10... but it is a new machine with win 11...and firefox does not work, i cant se my mails?!?!!?

Hello all, I just installed Firefox 138.03 64 bit with no problem and it seems to be working great as usual however I did notice an error in my Event Viewer which is Event 7023 Service Control Manager which was about The Mozilla Maintenance Service terminated (please see below). I have never seen this error concerning Firefox and I have been using it as my default for years now. I have no idea what to do to correct/fix this or if I should be concerned about it. I went to Services and the Mozilla Maintenance Service is set to Manual but when I tried to start the service it said it could not start the service because of incorrect function. Could someone please guide me as to what is going on and what I should do. Thank you in advance.

Respectfully, Don

Hi Forum! My Firefox is constantly (weekly) asking to update, even though we're on the latest version (right now we're on 138.0.1 (64-bit) I've reinstalled Firefox a couple times but the issue still persists. I'm not sure what my next steps would be.

Thank you all in advance, I appreciate your knowledge and time!

When trying to update Thunderbird on Ubuntu 24.04 the installer says "Quit to Update". I have quit Thunderbird and unpinned from task bar, restarted and still the same. I then decided to uninstall and used 'sudo apt remove Thunderbird' which says it was removed, I then used 'sudo apt purge Thunderbird' which comes back with Package 'Thunderbird' is not installed, so not removed. So tried again, Guess what same result! Any Ideas please?

sudo apt purge thunderbird Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package 'thunderbird' is not installed, so not removed 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 3 not to upgrade.

With the progressive rollout of tab groups having ended (I am assuming that because they are available by default in fresh installations), I would expect them to be available when I sync with my Firefox profile. However, when I sign in to the browser to sync all my settings, the option disappears. I am more interested in why the rollout never reached me than being told to enable tab groups in `about:options`. The profile switcher is also not showing up, but I am not sure if that is still in beta.

It seems like every week I've somehow muted the audio in a tab. I think this started a few months ago, but I can't remember seeing any sort of an "upgrade" alerting me to this new functionality. How do I get rid of it?? It's driving me nuts. I search google for a solution, and it's horrible AI search just refers me to an ancient thread that does not work.

Btw, I just saw an announcement by Mozilla about modernizing itself. How about getting rid of the crazy About:Config and making it easier for users to make changes?

I cannot make fire fox work at all.for me. I need the file, edit, history, bookmark tool bar back. I'm pleading with you. Please I BEG you to uninstall the upgrade. Please let me have the Firefox I had last week. I,m 88 and will die before I ever!!!! i can't make anything work.I have over 5,000 bookmarks. I write for a few dollars to partly support myself. Right now I'm out of business. Where is the invisible email address? I have been using FIREFOX since it came out. i can't go through your circus. A browser should have a high degree of instinctive coordination, it shouldn't be similar to experts cryptic calculus level, when your totally unfamiliar with the level of calculus I'm sorry, I won't be able jump through hoops..

I am currently running Thunderbird 137.0.2 (64-bit) and I don't get an automatic prompt for updates and haven't been getting them since I updated to Supernova and now Nebula.

I have the settings set to Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them, which is the setting I have always had and I used to get automatic prompts for updates with a window opening to show the details of the update as I get in Firefox.

Can someone tell me how to get these automatic updates back.

I have attached a screenshot of the update window.

Thanks.

It's slowly dawning on me that this might be an unfixable problem, but I'll ask anyway.

When I updated my Macbook this morning, Firefox updated as well, and when I opened it, all my bookmarks, history, passwords, and extensions were missing. My Mozilla account was signed out, so I signed in, but since my password was only saved on Firefox, I had to reset it... I think this may have deleted my data permanently.

Weirdly, a similar thing happened to me with a recent previous update where all my bookmarks vanished. I tried to follow the guide to restore bookmarks, which didn't work, but when I quit and restarted Firefox they came back anyway so I didn't think too much about it.

It's definitely my fault for panicking and resetting my account password without reading the consequences too carefully, but I don't understand why these updates sign you out of the browser in the first place. I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world and it wasn't like they were warning before the update to make sure all my data was backed up... they just sprung it on me at 7 on a Saturday morning. Sorry for complaining. If anybody has any idea how to fix this, I'll be eternally grateful.
