Is it possible to offer for download Firefox-134 binary statically linked for Linux 64 bit obeying the requirements noted on mozilla pages ?

I want to update Firefox but also version Firefox-134 causes the same problem as all previous versions newer than Firefox-95: GUI is not started in my Linux system despite all the requirements noted on the Mozilla pages with the release are satisfied. Basing on that I have read and experimented as well as on response to my bug report, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1938497 I suppose that the new versions of Firefox are not able to start GUI using libGL backend GLX and they require LibGL backend EGL only. This requires libEGL version and other associated libraries that are present only in newest versions of Linux distributions like Fedora-41. These new versions are for new hardware and it is pointless to install them on older hardware because they would work probably ineffectively and cause problems. Linux is very customizable and users introduce adjustments and install software created by themselves, for years. That is why an update to radically new version of the Linux distribution is justified after buying a new computer. This would be required for making the Firefox-134 binary provided to run with GUI as well as for possible compiling it from source.

That is why I would like to ask for consideretion of submitting a new version of Firefox binary statically linked (at least the libraries that are required for GUI) so that it will work with GUI on older Linux systems obeying the requirements noted on mozilla pages with Firefox releases, assuming 4-8 GB RAM is available.

In the beginning of January 2025 I have had to set a virtual machine on my host Fedora 20 with Live-Fedora-41 that contained Firefox-131 upadted subsequently to Firefox-134. This way I can use Firefox-134 but having 8 GB RAM that is maximal value of RAM allowed by my computer I had to declare only 4 GB for the virtual machine to enable host Fedora-20 to work normally. However, the 4 GB of RAM is actually a minimum required for effective using of the new versions of Firefox and additionaly, 20 GB of disk space for the virtual machine had to be reserved.

This solution is far not optimal, the VM is mainly for test purposes. Therefore I remain my suggestion noted to above.

I kindly ask all NOT to place here irrelevant, nontechnical comments like the three below from one user; they have their place in general social media.

Suddenly 3 wks. ago without changing anything, Thunderbird stopped working. Can receive OK but can't send. Contacted my 3rd party Email provider & Spectrum. No help. Each blamed the other. Said my IP is on "block list". I think it's a configuration problem, still unresolved. In meantime installed "New Outlook". It works OK. I hate that program but can't find copy of "Classic Outlook" without subscribing to Microsoft 365.

Installed latest Thunderbird by overwriting existing program. Maybe this was wrong. Existing Thunderbird was POP3. I now want IMAP. How to proceed? Should I un-install existing copy or install over existing? I theorize this may fix output server config problem. I'm afraid I may loose directories and sub-directories in the process. Suggestions???? Art Towslee

I used to run Thunderbird on a Windows 10 machine but I have now acquired a Windows 11 box. I tried to port my Thunderbird installation to the new computer by copying folders as recommended on the Web. I was partially successful. I can send and receive emails and my address book seems to be intact, but I lost one connection and most of the messages in the inbox for my main connection. I have lost all my starred and tagged messages and most of my sent and deleted emails. Disturbingly, the archive folder (which has many subfolders) for my main connection was not copied across. Can anyone tell me how to take a copy of an archive folder from the old machine and insert it in the corresponding position in the new one? Alan.

Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

I have followed the instructions, 'How to move Thunderbird data to another computer' and all seemed to work well copying from old computer (Win10) until I came to save to a USB drive to Paste into the new computer (Win11). I then got an error message indicating: Inbox too large -9.02GB nstmp too large - 4.5GB Sent too large - 7.3GB

I am not sure whether all my accounts were being moved or just the most-used one which is probably the source of the error message.

Is there a way to copy the files mentioned seperately and the paste them into the new installation after deleting the content before going through the procedure again? It does look as though the process failed as following the paste, there are no accounts in the Win11 computer, just the basic install 'awaiting setup'. You may have another solution - hope so - and thanks in advance.

I keep thunderbird pinned to my Windows taskbar and that is usually where I look for it. Every so often and much mor6e frequently than I like it vanishes from there and I believe that that is when it an update to it arrives. To maintain the state I like I then need to delete the now-dead pinning for the taskbar, find thunderbird afresh and leunch it and re-pin. This is not a terribly new behaviour but the grief threshold in my life has just been passed leading me to ask if this is a thunderbird issue or a windows one and if there is some scheme I can use to keep the application pinned pretty well come what may. This is obviously not life critical but it has been winding me up! Many thanks. Arthur

Hello,

Moving from an older Ubuntu 18.04 machine where Thunderbird is limited to version 102 to a newer machine running Mint 22 where the current version is 128.6

According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrading-older-version-thunderbird This should work without issue but the latest version mentioned in the article was 115.

Any change since the article was written? Do I need to install older versions to handle the migration to the latest?

Alternately would using the Export / import tools be better for this task than transferring the profiles?

Thank you

I *think* I've followed the instructions, but I am unsuccessful in moving Thunderbird Profile to new PC. I copied old profile to external drive. I opened Thunderbird on new PC and found Profile folder. I went up 3 levels and pasted old profile from external drive into folder on new PC. But my old data have not moved. When I go into new Thunderbird and choose "open profile folder", it shows me 3 files: the two that the system created in the new download, plus the old Profile that I pasted there. The new version of Thunderbird uses the "new download" profile as the default. What am I doing wrong? Thanx!

I've used Thunderbird for years, and I LOVE it! A few days ago, my hard drive died. I had it replaced, and I've used my data backup to recover much. I did NOT have programs/apps backed up. I need VERY SPECIFIC steps to download and reinstall Thunderbird so that it uses my old profile. Should I first delete EVERYTHING having to do with Thunderbird and start anew? I did download it today and then went to the C:Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird folder. In that folder, I deleted the "new" profile file (I think!). Then I moved my backed up folder called Profiles into that directory. I tried to get Thunderbird to use that profile, but no luck. I'm reasonably intelligent (I've been told!), but I can't figure how to do this, and I truly need a step-by-step blueprint. Do I download Thunderbird first? If so, what do I then do to make it find the old profile. I'm running Windows 11 Home on a PC. Right now, I'm going for a long walk to clear my brain. In the interim, if one of you really smart, nice experts could give me instructions on how to do this, I'd be eternally grateful. I have numerous folders, and some really important old emails in that old profile. I also would like to be able to retrieve my address book and calendars ... which I ASSUME are part of the old profile. Thanks in advance for ANY assistance! Don't assume I know ANYTHING!!
