Hello, When I first built this Linux Mint laptop I just grabbed the first Thunderbird install I saw, never realizing it would never update, now understaning how this works I want to install the flatpack version so I can be up to date. what is the best way to attack this, can I just install the flatpack and it will capture all my mailbox settings or do I need to start from scratch?

Thanks in advance Guy

I like Playing the Free Casino Games, I'm a Disabled Wounded Warrior. And I play the Games to Help me with my PTSD. but for some reason they won't Load on your Browser. I don't want to go back to Microsoft, but if you can't Fix my Issues. I might be Uninstalling your Browser and go back to Microsoft.

I've been struggling for months to standardize a deployment of Firefox ESR across various client environments that reliably auto-updates and doesn't cause UAC prompts and XULRunner profile error pop-ups(I work in IT).

We deploy Firefox ESR in bulk on machines via a batch script which runs as SYSTEM, with msiexec /i and /qn flags.

Firefox installs fine, but then users are typically met with a UAC prompt when they first try to run Firefox. If they decline, then the UAC prompt comes back again next time and often fails to update at all, so the machine is left on an older, vulnerable version.

Regarding the environment: we have deployed the Firefox ESR admx templates and enabled the relevant auto update settings in Group Policy. But only some machines seem to stay up to date, and it seems like this only happens if a user with local administrative privileges has run the program at least once.

What I find unusual is that Firefox seems to attempt to make a "Background Updater" scheduled task for every user that runs the software on each PC, but these users do not have administrative privileges, and the scheduled task is set to only run when that user is logged in. Obviously a scheduled task running as a user with limited privileges isn't going to be able to update files in the Mozilla/Firefox subdirectory in "Program Files" as by default that's read-only access for non-admin users. And, obviously, if a user with local admin privileges DOES log into the machine, then it can update once, but then the scheduled task that it creates for that user (now with admin privileges) will only run when that user logs in - and we don't login as "admin"-privileged users day-to-day.

So, various machines are out of date, running vulnerable Firefox 128 instead of 140 or 142 even though they're all deployed from the same image and have the same policies and restrictions, and ran the same installer for Firefox.

Is there some reason why the auto update scheduled task isn't created at installation time, when administrative privileges have been granted? It's very odd that it doesn't, because then every time a user logs into a machine it seems like Firefox ESR creates the background upgrade task under a non-admin user which simply won't work. I see machines having 4 or 5 background upgrade scheduled tasks, all created by Firefox ESR, and yet the software still won't update - there's a UAC prompt every time the program launches, and going to Help -> About shows "Restart Firefox to update..." but then when clicking the button to restart Firefox, we get the UAC prompt, user doesn't have privileges, so this goes around and around in circles.

Is there a reliable way to keep Firefox up to date without manually logging into each machine and going through the UAC prompts? Can we manually create a scheduled task with the correct user account that has privileges to actually upgrade Firefox?

The background auto update mechanism simply doesn't make sense to our team on a machine-wide install.

When using the Vertical tabs layout, is it possible to display the contents of my Bookmarks Toolbar on the vertical sidebar? (screenshot attached)

I know that on vertical sidebar, there's already a star button at the bottom to open bookmark. But I want to display the contents of my Bookmark Toolbar directly on the sidebar. Is it possible?

In the older K-9, when one changed the active account, the inbox for the newly selected account would just be shown immediately. No need for any other operations on my part.

Now I have to tap on the inbox to get there. This seems an awful nuisance and offers little to anyone, I suspect.

Is there some way to get the old K-9 behavior?

Thanks!

In V.10, it used to be I had to really swipe all the way left for delete to occur.

Now in V.13 only a small/partial movement deletes.

This is tool easy to mis-trigger. Please go back.

Thanks

To be clear, I seriously doubt the problems I am encountering are TB's fault! The problems may be my fault since I've grown older, I've tended (believed) using new versions of software present my mind a BIGGER challenge than using the older software/version I have been successfully using? I'm still using Version115.10.1

After our ISP chose to start using Zimbra Oct. 7, 2025 and their tech support could not assist me in getting TB working the had me remove POP3 settings for TB and change to IMAP with their software.

FINALLY someone helped me get TB working with IMAP. For 3 days grrr. Now the ISP says I need to use their web mail, Zimbra.

So might downloading the current TB version and somehow get the In box, all the folder contnets etc. over - into the new TB help?

I was going to backup everything tonight, now I have little to NO hope, without help!

THANKS & remain WELL plus be SAFE!

I have an account with Mozilla. I just built a new PC and installed Ubuntu 2024. On that machine when I try to login with my current primary email address it tells me that the account doesn't exist and prompts me to create a password. At some point I figured it might be possible to just push through, so I did create a new password. But I am not getting a confirmation email for an account that already should have existed.

Why did my new pc not find my Mozilla account when I gave it my email? How do I now fix this broken login?

Somehow an entire folder with dozens of bookmarks was deleted from my Windows 11 PC. The missing bookmark folder still exists on my iPhone. How can I restore the missing folder from my iPhone to my Windows PC? I am afraid if I just sync the two it might delete from my iphone the bookmark folder I want to replace onto my PC. What is the correct procedure to get the missing folder restored from my iphone onto my PC? Thank you in advance for your time and help. Dave_E

A search showed that others have experienced this same error message, but as far as I can tell, they all were unable to access their email. These messages began appearing about a month ago. They pop up in Troubleshooting Mode. They did not in Windows Safe Mode. AVG and ZoneAlarm are not the culprits.

Having highlighted a selection of text; Choose Format, Text-Color, Choose a color, and applied it. One would expect we could highlight an other section and do Shift+Ctrl+Z to apply the same change to the new selection. Why is this not an option? Next option: we hightlight a string of text, and do ALT+o, c; we get the 'Text Color' dialog, now do ALT+L to choose 'Last-picked'. But now to complete the action, we need to press 'Tab' four times to reach 'OK'. Why isn't ALT+o or ALT+k mapped to clicking 'OK' ?

I have about (20) such formats to make, and this is ridiculously tedious. Please consider providing a function that lets us repeat previous formatting change on current selection.

I've tried this with both the Mac (Sonoma) version and the Windows (11) version. Thunderbird can't connect to the server. I've been setting up these accounts for years in Apple Mail, and I know the settings.

I was able to set up an account from a different email provider, however.

My history of sites visited is too big and when I try start firefox it loads 20 pages or more onto my computer screen and then stalls how do I stop this

Thanksi

Hi on this night sniffies.com it is a location based dating site and it says my location is not accurate because my browser settings when I go to browser settings it says that asked to allow is checked and that's all there is there's no other where to check other than blocked my location's not accurate and sniffy's insist it is to do with the browser I may have to using this browser I just downloaded it

I've received a handful of emails from the Social Security Administration regarding the 2026 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Each time I click on the provided sign-in button, Firefox fails to connect. I am attaching a screenshot of the message it gives me instead. Today, on a whim, I tried to sign in using Chrome, and it worked fine. What is wrong with Firefox?

When I start Mozilla it checks for new mail. It always says no new mail. When I click on get messages if there are any new ones I get them downloaded. Why doesn't the first check find new mail as it used to? Thanks
