I have Thunderbird installed for lots of users on windows 11. Recent updates caused Thunderbird to ask again to set as default, as is normal. However, if you ask it to set as default it brings up a UAC dialog. However, I have installed as a user, and am asking to change a user setting. UAC is inappropriate for the situation.

If I ask Thunderbird to uninstall is again pops up a UAC dialog even though it is not necessary and inappropriate.

Why is Thunderbird asking for more permissions?

I installed as the current user with default installer settings.

I prefer the light mode fire fox browser, as it contrasts with my system's dark mode so I can easily distinguish what I'm looking at. However, Firefox Android's light mode is appearing as black for me. Dark mode works normally, and it's a dark grey. The frustrating thing is yesterday it seemed fine, with light mode being white.

The summary says it all, I think. My desktop runs Win 11, Firefox as default browser, synced to all my devices. My emergency backup (very old/slow) laptop runs Win 10, Firefox default browser, synced. I can login to my Etsy account on the laptop. Desktop login attempt, I get an "error occurred" failure. Have emptied cookies/history/rebooted and have changed email & password for account (using laptop) to no avail.

Is there a Firefox setting I should look into on my desktop ?

I'm on the latest firefox version 151.0.4 and having issues with the built in free VPN. It's showing up in the settings but I don't have the icon in the tool bar to adjust it or do anything. It's definitely enabled because it shows the settings and 50gb remaining of data. I've tried doing the about:config setting for enabling protection as well but that was already set to true. I toggled that and restarted my browser and firefox but neither worked.

Move Thunderbird 32 profile to new computer with Thunderbird 64

I am moving my Thunderbird (32 bit) data from an old Win 7 computer to Linux Mint on a new machine with Thunderbird 64 bit. I have followed all the advice to copy the old computer profile to the profile folder in Mint, but nothing appears in Thunderbird. My pop3 email server has 2-factor authentication; I can set this up and access or send new emails, but I can't import all my old email folders. The old Thunderbird is version 115.18.0 (32 bit) and says it is "up to date on esr update channel" The Mint Thunderbird is 140.0.6 esr (64 bit) and was recently installed with Mint.

As these versions are 32 bit and 64 bit respectively, I don't see how I can make them the same version, as recommended for transferring profiles.

How can I make this work?

I live in Germany and use t-online for my email. I can receive emails but not send. I have tried to fix it myself but nothing I do has worked. I don't understand all the technical stuff, so this is maybe my problem. Can anyone help me? PLEASE

Maybe there is someone near me in Germany (Obertshausen) by Frankfurt that can Help. I speak German so this would not be a problem.

I have a Google Workspace account which has my company name as a suffix, ie. @chase-design.net NOT @gmail. com. When I try to add an account automatically using the company suffix, Thunderbird does not recognize it. Is there a set-up guide that shows me step by step how to manually configure that type of setup?
