I had logged this issue in early 2025 but it has never been resolved and still exists.

I received a reply today, Tuesday 7th July, from Wayne Mery, who said "If you are still having problems when using a newer version, please post a new question and we'll take a new look at it.". as the original post has been archived.

So, here are the details:

"I am currently running Thunderbird 152.0.1 (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 original version.

Thanks.

Zdravím! Prakticky každé tri dni sú akési aktualizácie. Predtým bolo v nastaveniach všetko priehľadné, teraz ste to "poskrývali", že to musím hľadať, kde čo je! Nenávidím to !!

Chcem sa vrátiť o niekoľko verzií späť, kde to bolo jednoduché, priehľadné, skrátka fajn! Každou aktualizáciou to len komplikujete a komplikujete, viac a viac!

A potom "vyskakovacie okná". Tie vaše! Príklad: Pozerám youtube na malý screen. Ak si dám video na celý monitor, okamžite, asi na 5 sec. vyskočí okno - "youtube is now full screen". Robí to vždy, všade, pri všetkých videách, nielen na youtube, ak zmením formát na "full screen". Toto ma extrémne vytáča! Viete, ja som sprostý primitív, ja, ak si dám video na "full screen", ja to ešte potrebujem oznámiť vyskakovacím oknom! Niečo nenormálne! Napíšte mi, kde sa to dá v nastaveniach zmeniť! Alebo to zmeňte sami, keď tu každé tri dni robíte neustále aktualizácie! Ďakujem a dúfam, že sa z Vašej strany dočkám odpovede.

S pozdravom,

Hello! Practically every three days there are some kind of updates. Before everything was transparent in the settings, now you "hid" it, that I have to look for it, where it is! I hate it!!

I want to go back a few versions, where it was simple, transparent, in short, great! With each update you just complicate and complicate it, more and more!

And then "pop-ups". Yours! Example: I'm watching youtube on a small screen. If I put a video on the whole monitor, immediately, for about 5 seconds. a window pops up - "youtube is now full screen". It does it always, everywhere, with all videos, not only on youtube, if I change the format to "full screen". This is extremely annoying to me! You know, I'm a stupid primitive, if I put a video on "full screen", I still need to notify it with a pop-up window! Something abnormal! Write to me where it can be changed in the settings! Or change it yourself, when you make constant updates here every three days! Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

Best regards,

Hello, I have Macbook using Firefox 115.33 and from time to time i got a note asking to update .I would appreciate if you could help me to do so Thank you Regards Humphrey Louis Moorghen

What's with all the updates recently? It is getting annoying having to update almost every week and most updates are useless and not needed for my operating system. If things were done right in the first place then all these updates would not be needed.

I have changed the website hosting company from my previous one to scalahosting.com, which in turn appears to be using grok.viawebhost.com as their mailserver.

I was a user of Eudora 7.1 for many years, but because of this change of hosting company, the Eudora email program would not connect to the Scalahosting site.

Thus I was forced to change to Thunderbird. After reading several webposting on this matter, I found and uploaded V17.0.9 and proceeded to convert the Eudora email, filters and addresses to the Thunderbird format.

This was not an easy task, and even with Google's AI assistance, I had to restart several times, but as of today - mid-Jun I have now completed the task of cleaning up all the email, installing the correct headers, etc that allows the Thunderbird program to open and correctly display all of those email without any problems.

I further cleaned up and corrected all of the Eudora filters to the TB format and now have those filters in TB to be able to be installed and correctly are accepted by the TB program.

Like wise with the contact addressee that were in the Eudora NNdbase.nnt file were cleaned up and correctly installed in the TB program.

However, the current status of the TB program is that it does not seem to be able to connect to the Scala Webhosting email site at grok.viawebhost.com. Enclosed is a pic of the supposed correct set up for the STMP at Port 465.

The other Port info from Scala is: POP3 - 995 (SSL) IMAP - 993 (SSL)

But I am not sure what else I need to do to correctly set up this older version so that I can start the collection process of the most recent emails sitting in the mailserver.

Further, it was suggested that I need to update the TB V17.0.9 to the most recent V151 by following the below sequence of updates:

According to Mozilla Support Documentation, this is the exact, official sequence to migrate safely from a legacy version:

Step 1: Run V24.8.0 (32-bit) (This updates the raw database schema out of V17. Upgrades the raw Mbox structures.)

Step 2: Run V45.8.0 (32-bit) (Stabilizes the folder indexing schema.)

Step 3: Run V52.9.1 (32-bit) (The final 32-bit staging version.60.9.1 (64-bit). Migrates the architecture to 64-bit processing.)

Step 4: Run V60.9.1 (This is the critical gatekeeper version required to unlock modern automatic profile conversion).

Step 5: Run V78.14 (This shifts the mail indexing formats).

Step 6: Run V102.15.1 (This modernizes the folder structure configurations).

Step 7: Final jump to V151.0.1 (Updates the background engine to current web standards).

I am looking any advice or suggestions from the Community that can assist me in completing this conversion to the TB program and get it fully functional so I can connect to the Scala Hosting mailserver.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

One HUGELY annoying issue with Firefox is it's incessant desire to auto-update in the middle of my work! I have disabled this "feature", opting to be notified when there are new updates so I can choose when it will be less inconvenient. However, Firefox has opted to ignore that setting and still auto-updates, often when I'm in the middle of a project. This has to be fixed. What can I do to insure that Firefox obeys this setting?

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.

See the subject. I've been seeing delays in launching for several months. I've run several windows defender malware checks (full and the one where it runs outside of anything brought up). I've reset firefox. I did all this also because I was seeing random ads from a news site from what they were trying to get me to do was install macafee (but it's malware). While I'm not seeing those ads now and I'm suspicious they can from the news site vs. my browser, I'm very aware of anything trying to capture screen scrapes. I'm even considering changing all my passwords as I'm not sure if anything was captured. This morning, firefox upon launch took a long time. Then it said installing updates. My desktop flashed and firefox launched. I have not installed anything or any addons, extensions, etc. So either this was firefox doing an update it needed or it's something else. I'm on windows 10.

I am facing an issue with Firefox where every time the browser updates, all of my accounts get logged out, including YouTube, ChatGPT, and other websites. I have already tried repairing, uninstalling, and reinstalling Firefox, but the problem still persists.
