I am trying to figure out how to import my saved internet bookmarks from Mozilla. I saved them earlier today (I think) on my old computer that I'm replacing; had to create an account, which I did)... and now trying to figure out how -- on my new computer -- to import them.

I used to use firedfox years ago but switched like many to chrome when it became popular, I then moved to Edge which i prefered and used for many years now due to Chrome planning to block adverts I decided to give firefox another try, I am finding Firefox a delight to use and wish i had switched back years ago however having watched many review videos before installing it it would seem the majority believe it'll soon be over for firefox and we will all be stuck with no option but to use a chrome based browser, i hope this is not the case.

Do those that use it reglarly believe the time may be up or is there is life in the old dog yet?

I had to reinstall Fedora 42 on my Dell XPS 9315. I reinstalled Thunderbird, but it won't open, saying it cannot find my profile. How do I tell the new TB installation where my profile is?

At /home/eric/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird,my profiles.ini file looks like this:

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=z663dkmf.default-release Default=1

[Profile0] Name=default-release IsRelative=1 Path=grykcnt2.default-release

[InstallFA9DEAB4CC8E0E14] Default=/home/eric/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/z663dkmf.default-release Locked=1

[Profile2] Name=Default User IsRelative=0 Path=/home/eric/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/z663dkmf.default-release == There's also an installs.ini file:

[FA9DEAB4CC8E0E14] Default=/home/eric/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/z663dkmf.default-release Locked=1

КАК ЗАПРЕТИТЬ ВАШЕЙ НЕДОДЕЛАННОЙ ПРОГЕ ОБНОВЛЯТЬСЯ В САМЫЕ НЕПОДХОДЯЩИЕ МОМЕНТЫ, ДА И ВООБЩЕ ОБНОВЛЯТЬСЯ?! Сегодня угробила два часа на сочинение текста (копипаст в окно не работает), мозилла подтянула какой то говносервис с переводом страницы ... и потеряла мою авторизацию. И это не первое неудобство!

Everything is just confusing. Do not understand what is being asked of me or how to respond. First I would like to only use my phone for access and interaction with my account. Right now my objective is to get my calendar Working and organized. I was trying to do an online class and wanting to sync my calendar and not able to understand what was being asked.

In the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended

https://packages.mozilla.org/apt leads to 404, not a Debian software repository / archive.

Step 4 (is broken)

Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null

My sidebar kept disappearing when opening a new window. After asking the internet, I learned that this was part of the latest UI update. This is a horrible update (sorry programming team) because if you always want your sidebar to show up, all that extra stuff has to show up as well. See first image.

The second problem is that the Hide Sidebar button is too close to the Back button. I keep clicking on the Hide Sidebar button when I really want the Back button.

Is there a way to hide these controls? I know you can move them to the right, but then, so does your sidebar. I don't have a lot of screen real estate. Can we have an option to go back to the "classic" settings for sidebars?

By the way... In the previous versions of Firefox, I was able to click on a link (example: Google search) and my sidebar (in my case with my bookmarks) was always there in the new window or tab. Now when I click on a link, the sidebar with my bookmarks disappears in the new window. I have to keep enabling it if I want to see my bookmarks. I'm 100% sure that this is causing frustration with over 87% of Firefox users. Can we please bring back that old functionality?

I'm currently using MacOS 15.4.1 Sequoia with FireFox 138.0.1. It works fine after updating from 138.0.0 on my primary (Administrator) account. However, there is a second User account on this MacBook Pro laptop, used by other family members. All is not well here... Firefox updated itself from 137.0.0 recently and now will not run on the User account. On startup, it asks for an Administrator password to install a Helper tool and then will proceed no further. I have tried :-

Making the User account into Administrator - still hangs Cancel and re-start FireFox - hangs! Re-start the MacBook from cold - hangs! Cleaned Firefox installation and folders in the User Library (both User and Administrator) - still hangs! I'm aware there are two Library folders, one each for the System and one for each user, didn't touch the System Library. Added a new User account - it works! So maybe something in the System Library is the culprit? I've always regarded that area as "off limits" to us mere mortals, so please, not the "Wipe it and Start Again" option.

I don't really want to kill the User account, there is a lot of data in there and surely will miss something important if I delete it.

Summary, 137.0.0 worked, it updated to 138.0.1, it hangs up! I am unable to fix it. Any offers guys?

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?

Dear Support,

would be most grateful for any answers to my question.

I have a copy of Firefox Portable, which I tend to use at local libraries.

In the past, the home page of Firefox Portable would show 8 different icons. I could click on One of them, and would be taken straight to the site of that icon. I would be shown the icon for Language Shop, and could then click on it to get into it.

Now, the home page of Firefox Portable still shows 8 different icons, but there is not an icon for Language Shop.

How could I replace one of the icons with Language Shop, please?

I have also attached a screenshot of the home page as it is now, with the 8 icons highlighted,

Google Play says I need to update Firefox, but whenever I try it says it can't update. My OS and Firefox versions are in the attached screeshots. I'm unsure as to how I should proceed.
