I have a custom pitch black theme ( pls add it without addons ) which now only flashes for a second when i open the browser and returns to the normal greyish dark mode. When i go to Firefox Color addon page and load it again in saved themes it stays pitchblack even if i open another browser window until i close all the browser windows .

I created an export .zip from Tbird on my current Win10 PC, intending to import it into a new Tbird installation on my new Win 11 PC. This is the second such migration: I did my own mailboxes no bother last night but this time its my wife's. My pack was less than 2GB, hers is just over.

I unzipped at the target PC, and attmpted the import. It failed with this error: Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not open `C:\Users\marie\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\39la2kp7.default\prefs.js': file does not exist (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)

Is there any alternative to demanding even deeper pruning of her archived messages?

The Firefox homepage is constantly broadcasting privacy incentives and ways we can donate to improve a free web, yet they need the permission to access my camera, mic, files and so on in exchange for the use of their program? I find this very contradictory, and would love to hear more from Firefox. I understand that certain permissions are necessary but i find the request for these things to be intrusive and upsetting when it's coming from a company that pats itself on the back when it comes to privacy and the fight for a free and open Internet.

Please at least provide the option to turn permissions that aren't necessary for the operation of Firefox on Android, off. Camera and mic, are not integral parts of my web search past time and therefore, i don't believe they are any of the Mozilla corporations interest either.

If there are ways to get back some of the privacy taken away by these requests using Android, as i understand getting away from all these permissions from every app is futile.. Please let me know. Maybe an app that retains some of these permissions, or blocks access to apps from accessing then? If there are suggestions out there I'm open to suggestions, thank you.

Can current Thunderbird (52.5.2) still import old mail from Outlook Express (on Windows XP SP3)?

Or should I try to install an older version like v38.5.0?

I also have my mail in Outlook 2003 & 2007, but I read Thunderbird hasn't been able to import from a .PST for a long time (since v.17 or so). Let me know if I'm on the right track (and which track is best). I stuck with Outlook far too long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After last update Firefox ESR 115.23.0 the menu on the website: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/homeis not displayed correctly. Could you fix this? Second question - can you disable reCAPTCHA when logging in to this site?

This is minor, however, some addons that I need currently only work up to version 138. The version found at Index of /pub/thunderbird/releases/138.0.2/win64/ is actually version 139.x. I was able to download 138.0.1 at Index of /pub/thunderbird/releases/138.0.1/win64/

I've just copied a file of contacts from my tablet and want to add the contents to my Thunderbird Address Book. There doesn't seem to be any easy way of doing this. Can anyone help? And why doesn't Mozilla include an Import facility as many people must transfer from Outlook or other email program to Thunderbird?

I had 59.0b1 running, but Attachment Extractor & Walnut Add-ons not supported. So per help suggestion to my earlier question & "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Go_back_to_an_old_version_of_Firefox", downloaded 52.6.0. Exited TBird, deleted my old profile in %APPDATA%. Copied old xxx.default profile over an earlier copy for insurance - some error messages "same filename". Installed new TBird version.

Walnut now works - great! Attachment Extractor still not supported..

Now all the hundred or so emails in my Inbox are gone, just downloaded a few new ones. Address books are gone.

Any suggestions?

Firefox auto updated when I opened it today. Then when it opened, all that was on the screen was the menu (file edit view history bookmarks tools help), the "search or enter address" box, and in the upper right hand corner the words "private browsing" with the purple circle and eye eyeglasses icon. That's all. I have tried looking at my profile. It seems to still be there. This seems to be a problem with the Firefox software itself. I have re-downloaded the software three times, the last time I uninstalled Firefox from my laptop and totally reinstalled. Every time I get the same results. This almost blank screen. Let me be clear. There is no purple background, there is no Firefox icon, there are no tabs, there is no customized menu bar, there is no search box in the middle of the screen. I'm working on a Windows 10 laptop 64 bit. Please don't tell me to upgrade the Windows 11, the laptop won't take Windows 11. I get the same window whether I open the regular fire fox or the private browsing Firefox.

Good morning, I had asked a question early on Saturday, but was unavailable the rest of the weekend so just now responding to associate Corey Bryan's answer. I had gotten a message that I am using an unsupported version and they recommend downloading the latest stable version.

He said it appears that I'm on the "Release" channel and most likely want to be on the ESR channel. I also mentioned that I am a cave-man when it comes to anything computer and am very skittish about making any changes as I don't how to straighten out any errors that might occur.

He asked me where I installed Thunderbird from and the answer is that I don't know. It was an IT guy that did it many years ago.

So I guess my questions are, if I've been using this version for years, do I need to or should I update it? If so, if I click on the latest stable version of Thunderbird, will that change anything on my computer, aside from getting the newer version of T-Bird? And will my e-mails in Thunderbird look any different?

Thanks very much for the help. Tony

Hello all,

During clean-up of my laptop I noticed 31 language package files in C:\ProgramData\O949. File names look like: langpack-en-US@firefox.mozilla.org, and they all originate from 23-Jan-2017 so I guess they're very old files which might be relevant anymore. As these 10,058 files occupy 56 MB I'd like to remove them from my laptop.

Does anybody know if such task is wise, not harming current running FF v131.0.3?

example: I click on address book, go to "Tools", select "import Everything" and click "Next". a 2nd window opens:

"Import Options, Account Settings, Address Book, Filters and other data from:"

there is no cue to enter a value such as email address or whatever. "< Back" and "Next>" are grayed out. "Cancel" is the only option. Why must i cancel before anything happens?

This same pattern holds true when trying to migrate the calendar from Outlook. The Wizard's Wand is broken?

Obviously, it is operator error...but what is the error?

I came across a site "mozdev.org" that gives instructions as to how to download a file called "mailtweak-0.16.xpi" Firefox will not allow me to download it and I cannot find it in the list of Firefox add-ons.

Please advise

I made a mistake. I had 128 and went up to 140. It pretty much looks the same, but a big difference is an extension I always use says it will not work with 140. I don't care how good 140 might be; if I can't use my app, QUICKTEXT, then I don't need this. How do I go back to 128 or to a version that works with my extension?
