I have followed your instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer and gotten nowhere all day. on it. You have "Profile Folders", a folder called "Profiles", a bunch of profiles (folders) inside the Profiles folder and profiles in Roaming and in Local paths. When I get the old profile 'k41******' copied to the new computer in both the Roaming folder and the Local folder the Thunderbird program still will not show me the old files. I don't need any of the thousands of emails in the old computer, just the Templates in one account. This should be easy. I should just copy the profile k41***** ect. and paste it into the "Profiles" (notice the pleural there) and then Thunderbird should work. But it does not.

I added two new email accounts to my Thunderbird installation (140.12.1esr (64-bit) under Windows 10), and am able to receive and send mail just fine. But the T-bird Search utility doesn't work for those accounts. I can do a Search for an email address, subject, etc. that's showing on my screen for those accounts, but the Search utility comes up empty. Search does work for three other accounts, however. Any ideas?

I successfully linked / synced the thunderbird calendar with the iCloud calendar. Calendar entries manually entered in iCloud or iPhone calendar are successfully synced and are visible in the thunderbird mail. The other way round, syncing the existing entries in the Thunderbird calendar does not work. They do not appear in the iCloud or iPhone calendar. Searching the internet, the specific Thunderbird or Apple help-sites did not provide an obvious solution for this problem. I went through all (or nearly all) recommendations given by Apple, no success to sync from Thunderbird to iCloud.

Any suggestion what to modify or adjust

I have a new MacBook Pro M5, with MacOS Tahoe Version 26.5.2, and currently running Firefox 153.0. Over the past few days, I've noticed that the Fn-Delete (forward delete) is not working in the file name field when downloading a file from the internet. Fn-Delete is working everywhere else.

I'm not certain if this started when I set up the new computer, updated the MacOS or updated Firefox. I'm pretty sure all have occurred within the past couple weeks.

Thanks.

Firefox Sync is not syncing bookmarks from Windows to iPhone.

The issue persists even after creating a completely new Firefox Account, creating a new Firefox profile, reinstalling Firefox, and testing on a different network.

Environment Windows 11 Firefox 153.0 (64-bit) Firefox downloaded from mozilla.org (not Microsoft Store) Firefox for iPhone (latest version) VPN disabled Windows Defender only (no third-party antivirus) Problem

Bookmarks created on the iPhone never appear on the Windows PC.

Bookmarks created on the Windows PC also never appear on the iPhone.

The iPhone currently contains more than 1,000 bookmarks.

Tabs and account sign-in appear to work normally, but bookmark synchronization does not.

Troubleshooting already performed Created a new Firefox profile. Reinstalled Firefox. Created a completely new Firefox Account. Signed out and signed back in. Reset Sync. Verified that bookmark sync is enabled. Confirmed services.sync.engine.bookmarks = true. Tested with VPN disabled. Tested using a mobile hotspot instead of the home network. Verified DNS resolution using nslookup. Verified Mozilla servers are reachable from Chrome. Confirmed Firefox DNS settings are default: network.trr.mode = 0 network.dns.disableIPv6 = false Sync log observations

The Sync log reports that bookmark changes are detected:

Sync.Engine.Bookmarks.BookmarkSyncUtils pushChanges: Processed change records: {"updated":9}

However, the log never contains a request similar to:

POST ... /storage/bookmarks

Therefore, bookmark changes appear to be detected locally but are never uploaded to the Sync server.

In different sync attempts, I have also observed intermittent network-related errors such as:

NS_ERROR_NET_RESET NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST

For example:

Failed to fetch symmetric keys. Not syncing: login returned false.

and

The lookup of the hostname failed.

However, DNS resolution and connectivity appear normal outside Firefox:

nslookup successfully resolves Mozilla Sync hosts. ping succeeds. Opening https://profile.accounts.firefox.com/v1/profile from Chrome returns the expected HTTP 401 Unauthorized response ("Bearer token not provided"), indicating the server is reachable. Additional information

Because the iPhone contains more than 1,000 bookmarks, I would also like to know whether Firefox Sync has any known limitations or issues related to synchronizing large bookmark collections.

Expected behavior

Bookmarks created on either device should synchronize to the other device.

Actual behavior

Bookmark changes are detected locally but never uploaded, and no bookmark synchronization occurs in either direction.

I would appreciate any guidance on additional diagnostics or whether this could be a Firefox Sync bug.
