Hello. I have followed the instructions to copy the profile file to a drive and take it to the new computer so my Thunderbird will be the same on both laptops.

BUT I get a message that the profile file is not available. And I searched for the file by name and found nothing!

The actual message is attached.

I need to copy my emails to the new laptop.

После включения ПК бывает, что я не могу ввести текст в браузере.(как буд-то включается режим только для чтения, что не позволяет текст ввести). горячие клавиши работают, но текст не вводиться только в браузере. Оно само по себе проходит. Как это исправить?

My computer suddenly started the above error message for multiple programs. The local computer shop was able to sort out what appeared to be the root cause and that recovered some things but I still needed to reinstall a number of programs.

The program I am terrified of reinstalling is Thunderbird. All my emails on five email accounts since 2011 are stored in TB and I naturally do not want to lose any of them.

The major problems are the computer is running Win7 Enterprise and I am 82 years old so I am prone to needing things spelt out in greater detail than many others.

Can anyone provide a way to reset the program permissions (preferable) or identify the best way to reinstall and still access all my historic emails?

Thank you

Hi, I have used "takeout" years before but not one of these.

https://www.google.com/search?q=download+Gmail+MBOX+viewer+tool&oq=download+Gmail+MBOX+viewer+tool&gs_lcrp=EgRlZGdlKgYIABBFGDkyBggAEEUYOdIBCTE5NzE5ajBqMagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Can I keep folder integrity using one of these? And how if not obvious.

Quota is high.

Thanks

Firefox multipart/form‑data upload stalls (0 bytes sent) to Next.js pages/api endpoint — works in Edge/Chromium

Summary:

 Uploading a file to a custom webapp with Chromium (Edge) works but consistently fails in Firefox. In Firefox the request is created, and times out. The server receives no file and logs “missing file.” The same webapp code is running on both Chromium and Firefox.
 Environment:
 - Next.js app (pages/api route)
 - Endpoint: POST /api/file-upload
 - Client: fetch(url, { method: "POST", body: FormData, credentials:
   "include" })
 - Server: export const config = { api: { bodyParser: false } } + multipart
   parsing (formidable)
 - Edge/Chromium: Version 141.0.3537.85
 - Firefox Version 147.0.3 (64-bit)
 - OS: Ubuntu 22 / Linux

Steps to reproduce:

 1. Create a FormData object and append a local file:
    const fd = new FormData();
    fd.append("template", file, file.name);
    fetch(`/api/file-upload`, {
      method: "POST",
      body: fd,
 2. In Edge/Chrome, upload succeeds.
 Server receives multipart body and parses the file.
 Actual behavior in Firefox:
 - Transferred: 0 B
 - No response status/body
 - Client times out (Upload times out)
 - File upload request received
 - No bytes read server‑side.

Evidence:

 - Edge request logs:
   content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary...
   bytesRead ~1.69MB
 - Firefox request logs:
   Transferred 0 B
   File upload missing file field
 Notes:
 - Client FormData is valid; we log file.name and file.size right before fetch.
 - There is a CSP report‑only warning (frame‑ancestors) when using a fallback
   iframe approach, but we are not using iframe in the failing case.
 Question:
 Is there a known issue where Firefox blocks or fails to send and multipart/
 body can be stripped before it leaves the browser? Is there a recommended
 workaround that does not rely on browser sniffing?

My emails were all working (accounts were setup fine). Then, recently, when I opened Thunderbird, the main area (where my messages are displayed) is empty. If I choose another folder, still empty. BUT, the folders all say that there are messages in them (see the attached screenshot)

I have tried the following... 1. Opening Thunderbird in Troublshooting mode: This works, and the messages appear. But I don't want to have to open troubleshooting mode every time. 2. I have ZERO extensions installed, so asking to disable them obviously wont do anything. 3. I have tried to repair the folders (I have tried to repair the default inbox folder, and then tried to repair them all ... nothing worked). 4. I have backed up my thunderbird files, and tried reinstalling Thunderbird. Still didn't work. 5. I tried these three steps ... https://www.mboxtooutlook.org/blog/thunderbird-inbox-missing-emails.html Didn't work either.

Any other suggestions?

The last automatic browser update (147.0.3 (aarch64)) has wiped off all changes I made to bookmarks and passwords from the past year.

How can I go back to a previous version and recover my details?

This browser version is terrible and looks exactly like Microsoft Edge which is not intuitive at all. I don't want to set up multiple personas, Its just me and the one computer?

Please help me. Kerri

Google Meet on my Mac OS 26.2 says that I need permission to share my screen during video calls

Trying to use Google Meet on my new Mac (OS 26.2) using Firefox (140.7.0esr (aarch64)) However, when I attempt to share my screen during a video call I get the following message instead: "Meet needs permission to screen share. You must grant permissions in order to screen share" but it does not provide instructions or links to where I need to grant these permissions. This is only happening when I try to use Google Meet or Zoom with Firefox. If I use Chrome (which I prefer not to) from the same Mac computer, I am able to do screen share with both Google Meet and Zoom. I have already tried the following: added Firefox to the Mac OS privacy & security accessibility and camera settings AND added both Zoom and Meet to the Firefox to the Firefox Privacy settings to "Allow" camera access. However none of this worked. What specific Firefox or Mac OS setting must I turn on so that I may do screen shares during video calls?

Sudden (Feb 8) endless cycle of Yahoo login messages within Thunderbird and inability to send or receive message

Starting Feb 8, 2026 my yahoo accounts no longer work in Thunderbird. I have accessed these for over a dozen years using Thunderbird. In addition, when I open Thunderbird at all I end up getting endless loops of yahoo login messages. The mechanisms in the messages do not work at all. I have received no Yahoo mail since that date. To troubleshoot the issue I tried logging into the accounts directly through Yahoo. Broken, with no access at all to any help resource from Yahoo. Although Yahoo seems to be keeping mum on the problems, there is spotty information online that Yahoo servers were breached a few days ago. One report claimed that user data for about a billion accounts was compromised. I suppose that may explain why my accounts no longer work anywhere- neither from Yahoo itself nor within Thunderbird. Is there a way to disable the incapacitating yahoo popups pending any larger solution to this?
