I need a Thunderbird email account. At the end of the set-up I mistakenly clicked "decline" instead of "allow" Thunderbird permission to read my Gmail messages. I believe I just gave Thunderbird permission to access my gmail as I tried to write Hawaii Labor Board from their website again, Thunderbird email seems to be Hawaii Labor board's only option on their website. My first question: Can I start over setting up a Thunderbird email account linked to my Google email account? Second question: Is it even possible to set-up another account separate from gmail?

question, if 128.3.1esr.exe is supposed to be good until mar25, why is it telling me i need win 10 when i try loading? i'm trying to stay as far away from windows as i possibly can, but unfortunately i had to reload win7 because the downloads i need for linux are being difficult with only 3 months of experience. i don't need your security, or what microsoft pretends is security. i have no intention of relying on windows, i just need to be able to download the programs to create bootable os's for my crypto miners, those are debian based. because from what i've learned so far, i just like linux better.

Dear Thunderbird team I am an avid user of TB (home desktop Windows PCs), but I have been resting on my laurels on v78 for a few years now. I know, shame on me. I would like to upgrade to a stable "modern" release (emphasis on "stable" please). Can you please advise if I should aspire to end up on 115 or 128, and how I might get there ? From reading some older blogs, there is advice that says.... first go to v91, then v102, then v115, and so. That seems a bit tortuous, but I am happy to do so if that is still the recommended approach.

Also, can you advise on how I manage my Profile through all this, do I need to do various exports/imports as I move through these different versions, etc.

Many Thanks

Thunderbird did an auto update this morning and failed to restart. I get a message that says this version is incompatible with the last. I pay over 20 bills from folders I created in it the applications inbox, house billing info and passes and links to the pages and responses, etc. This is a MUST for me that this thing works and works well. Until this morning it was flawless in that capacity. My only fix after extensive research has been to download the newest version from the website, install it and it starts fine...until I close it, then it fails to restart with the same identifier. Each of the two times I have closed it I go through the same thing upon an opening attempt.

I'm now looking at different mail options as I'm on SSI and have one shot at paying bills a month and can't afford to be any later than SSI already makes me, though my creditors have been thus far understanding. I now have to keep my computer on and the app open until I'm paid on the 9th so I can be sure to be able to pay my bills. I don't know what you folks are shooting for by tinkering with an already flawless system but you missed this time I'm afraid. Leave it alone or let us keep our working system while you offer "new and improved" to those who like to play with new toys. Give me back my old working system before I'm forced to look elsewhere for a way to do my monthly duty to my creditors. Sincerely, Arthur Kelly

Dear Sir or Madam,

Is it possible to get a version of Firefox ESR beyond 115.15? If so, would you be so kind to share the URL to download the installation?

We still have a few Windows Server 2012 boxes that are using Firefox 115.15, except Tenable is reporting the version as with vulnerabilities.

Thank you!

I just installed the new Firefox version (131.0.2) and the installation gave me a new desktop lnk (the old one is still on the desktop). The new link (to an .exe file in "C:...\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\browser") starts the new version of Firefox in its newborn virgin state, i.e., EVERYTHING from my previous version is missing.

The old link (which points to an identical .exe file in a completely different directory "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser" with same date stamp as the .exe file mentioned above) when executed results in an error message: Platform version '131.0' is not compatible with

                                                                                              minVersion >= 131.0.2

NOTE: The files in each of these two directories appears to be identical. I really want my old profile back.

HELP!

Honestly, i keep trying to support FF but your releases are making me mad. first off my addons are missing after upgrade, they aren't in toolbar or bookmarkbar, they show enabled, but no control exists I use download all images for years, now there is no way to use it .. with the existing version. https://webextension.org/listing/save-images.html i've used this extension literally for years w/o incident.. damn.. this is majorly annoying and disturbs my workflow

why should i have to 'fix' something that was working prior to the upgrade. this is annoying even if some of the browser functionality is improved, your costing me unnecessary work

also why would you located the + new tab control to the left of the 'tabs', you never open a new tab there, always to the far right hand side, the user now has long mouse movements or short-cuts to open, its' broken theUX I've filed a bug on that one.

please you had to know this release had these side effect where are the release notes and the playbook for restoring this add-on functionality.

How to stop 128 ESR is automatically updating to broken Thunderbird 131

I've never knowingly installed a non-mainline thunderbird, but earlier this week I started getting the following when I open Thunderbird:

This is an unsupported version of Thunderbird!! Thunderbird monthly releases are not considered stable for general use. Use at your own risk, this build is the same quality as Thunderbird Beta.

Checking the version of thunderbird.exe It says its v131, which happens to be the same as the copy of Firefox installed. When I remove and reinstall Thunderbird it starts off as 128 but quickly changes to 131, even after uninstalling Firefox. (Also annoyingly, this stomps on the version in the profile, which 128 claims is no longer compatible, because Thunderbird isn't clever enough to save a copy of files when it makes "breaking" changes to user files)

I wouldn't being on 131 if actually worked, but it gets stuck in the handshake with my IMAP server, and doesn't even show the local folder caches. (It also for some reason shows the window controls on left side of the window title bar, rather than the right).

How can I restore standard functionality?
