Just installed Thunderbird on a new computer. I'm a long-time user, supporter, donator to the team. I just donated again. Now I get an "in your face attempt for donations" that I don't appreciate. It has to be removed every time I load mail. How do I get rid of this?

Putting FireFox on my "New" MacBook

This will be a long question and in 2 parts, so I'll apologize up front.

1. I am running FireFox on my 11-year old MacBook and love it (MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6). However, my printer just crapped out, and my new HP 9120e requires MacOS Big Sur (11.x.x) or later. If I update to that OS, will I still be able to use FireFox? If so, where do I find it (see Question 2, below)?

2. Since my old MacBook is clearly reaching the end of it's life and my Excel and Word apps are also ancient, I am trying to transfer all my stuff onto a "New" MacBook that is running MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1. However, the "New" computer (I will not say "improved") has been a reliability nightmare and I just had it in for service. They wiped my disk clean to install the Monterey OS. So, other than Safari, I have no browser (or anything else for that matter). When I go to the App Store to download FireFox, and don't see it anywhere. Help!

I have a new Chromebook, having previously used a Microsoft Surface Pro. I have loaded Linux onto my Chromebook and now have installed Firefox and Thunderbird but I can't get my email account loaded onto Thunderbird. I receive a message as follows: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration" I'm sure that I have entered the correct details. I was offered the chance to scan a QR code but that option doesn't seem to be there anymore. (The Chromebook doesn't have a front camera but it will lie flat so I was going to be able to use it)

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

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?

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.
