New installation of Thunderbird does not find existing email accounts on local drive.

I just installed Thunderbird on Linux Mint (version 22.2), when I launch the application it automatically logs into my email account on my Internet access provider. I do not want that. I want the way the old version started up: it opened my local folders on my local drive, listed previously down-loaded mail and on the left panel it listed the folders on my main (current) email account followed my the list of my other email accounts/names. The top menu let me (among other actions) select to download email to the local email directory. I do not want Thunderbird to automatically log onto my web account or sync my local directory to the online email account. When I want to read my email I want to select to download the mail from the server. When I want to access the online account I log onto it through my web host's cpanel tool.

My local hard drive has a thunderbird directory (in my home directly) from the previous Thunderbird version. It contains a subdirector labeled Mail, which contains a directory list of my email addresses, in addition to one labeled Local Folders. There is another subdirectory labeled Mail.sbd.

Is there a way the new version can be set up similar to the old version. The installed Thunderbird version is 140.9.0esr (64-bit)

I installed Thunderbird 149.0 on Linux Mint 22.2 and I can't figure out if it's a release or a beta. On the downloads page, the "Release" section lists 148.0.1. The "Beta" section lists 149.0b4. The "Help - About Thunderbird Beta" window says "Release notes." I'm confused: what are these?

Hi, I'm running Sierra 10.12.6 on a mid-2011 iMac. I installed Firefox 115.33.0 in March '26, but now see a "not supported message" in the browser.

I downloaded the ESR version of this browser, but when I went to copy to the APPS folder it asks if I want to replace the NEWER one that's already there. ???

Now it says I'm running it on the ESR update channel. Did I just go backwards in browsers? When this ESR expires, if a new one isn't provided then, will I still be able to use/update/install Firefox on this IOS on this iMac?

Thanks! Elaine

I have a macbook air laptop (late 2010) and have been using the latest version of Firefox browser for browsing. It's one of the few browsers still available. Google is popping up with the message that my browser is no longer supported. Do you have any suggestions about a browser that may work (other than a new computer please)? Will Firefox be coming up with a new extended version that will work? Thanks!

Hello,

for some reasons I need to downgrade a TB installation (Mac silicon 148.0.1) to the ESR channel, 140.8.1esr for Mac silicon.

I read articles in the KB where Mozilla discourages this, but I would avoid to move 15Gb circa of emails by hand copying and pasting them...

So is there anyone that has tried this before? Any suggestion how to do it without loosing e-mail in th process?

Thanks fr your support.

I was using Thunderbird this morning 08-02-2024 and for some reason a quick pop up window appeared. I now get an error messasge "cannot load xpcom" I uninstalled Thunderbird and tried to download/re-install but cannot get past the donation part which I have already donated. Does this mean each time I have to re-install I have to now make another donation? I noticed that I have a Firefox installer but no Thunderbird installer. Was it removed when I did a uninstall?
