Hi! I'm hoping you can help me! I use Thunderbird, and have for many years, and I love it. My computer is on its last legs, and I'm trying to save up for a new one, but, yesterday I did something possibly stupid... (yeah, I know, you NEVER get people asking for help who've done stupid things, so this will be unusual... lol). Anyway... I turned my computer on and got a popup saying that my Thunderbird needs an update and it's been a while since I updated, so I hit OK on the update... Well, my arsehole of a computer chose that exact minute to shit itself and die. When I tried restarting it, my Thunderbird no longer works. Now I have a popup with a big red X that says "The installation seems to be corrupt. Please check your hardware and disk setup and/or re-install." Can you help me? I desperately need to check my email and have one I need to send. I don't know what to do. I've also got YEARS worth of emails sitting in the system, so I can't risk losing them, either. Please help. L.

How to keep an older version of firebox and eliminate a newer version?

PC amateur here and today is 9/20/2026; I am now using the next older version of Firefox which I retrieved from my desktop Firefox icon because about a year and a half ago this older version of Firefox got automatically updated to a newer version which is horrible, asking me to go through endless routines going in circles about getting me signed on with Microsoft and more and which keeps coming back every time after I login to my PC, so I have to delete it from my window and replace it with this one. What, if anything, could be done to eliminate this newer version of Firefox?

All over this site it says how great it is and what it does but no where does it say what the current version is or even what the version of the downloads are. You tube says multiple versions are not playable on this version yet this is the current version i am using. Software developers have really hit low levels of Not KISS.

Did they REALLY put a pop-up ad in their "update" notice?

Unbelievable! Talk about irony. I just got the latest Firefox update. What was it touting? "We've blocked MORE of the pop-up ads!!" And what did it include? A pop-u… (read more)

Unbelievable! Talk about irony. I just got the latest Firefox update. What was it touting? "We've blocked MORE of the pop-up ads!!" And what did it include? A pop-up advertisement from Mozilla. I just wanted to find out if that was a gag, a one-off incident, or someone pirating Mozilla's new update to show that it doesn't do what their touting.

how to download latest Firefox for Android on a Galaxy S5, Android Version 6.0.1

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone that I need to return to service because of the failure of... a newer cell phone. The S5 phone is running Android Version 6.0.1 and the current Firefox is Version 61.0 I KNOW this phone is capable of running... not the very latest Android edition, but a much newer version than 61.0!!

I am having difficulty in determining the latest usable Firefox for Android version, downloading or installing it. Because of the age of the phone and the Android version, Google Play is absolutely useless.

I am probably missing something... stupid... because this should NOT be this difficult! Can anyone direct me to an "apk" file of the latest version of Firefox for Android that will work with Android 6.0.1?

Thank you VERY much for any assistance!!

Some emails are showing up blank, with no sender or subject

On 28 August I received a blank email with just the sender and subject showing. Since then I have sporadically received completely blank emails, with no sender or subject, while others are arriving as normal. The same is happening when I open Thunderbird on my mobile, but not on my laptop which has an older version installed. It would seem that the issue is caused by update 153.1.1esr, as that was released on 28 Aug.

Can I revert to a previous version of Thunderbird or is there another way to fix this, thanks.

How do I stop Firefox from installing a shortcut on my desktop after every update.

I've been a user of Firefox for many, many years but I think I'm ready to switch to another browser. Every time Firefox updates, it deposits a shortcut on my desktop that I have to delete. I already have it installed in my start toolbar so I do not need it on my desktop. People will say "no big deal, just delete it" That is my point, I shouldn't have to, give me the option in Settings to install it or not.

I have resurrected a PPC ( 32bit) Mac G5 to Ubuntu 14.04, the installed foxfire version is 28.0, canonical 1.0.

I can not access the internet, as expected, due to an unsure connection.  

Is there a way for me to upgrade foxfire? Can I fix the secure connection issue and use still https? Is there a dependence that is needed? What do you suggest? thxs Mart

How to update Firefox without it leaving the registry entry from the previous version

I am running Firefox version 155.0.1 under Windows 10. I am receiving Extended Security Updates. When I update Firefox with the automatic updater it replaces the old version with the new one and everything runs fine but the automatic updater fails to clear the leftover registry key from the previous installation. This leaves me with two versions of Firefox listed on the Apps & features page. In order to avoid having this extra entry I have been uninstalling Firefox and then running the installation program to update to the next version. Uninstall removes both entries, but if try using the automatic updater again, once again it fails to clear the leftover registry key from the previous installation. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue. With the frequency of updates being released, I would like to update with the automatic updater without having to remove the ghost registry key each time or resorting to uninstalling the previous version before running the install program.
