The website https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ provides portable download for Linux, but I seem to understand there's no such a version for Linux ARM (aarch64).

Is that planned in the future?

thanks in advance

I am trying to get Firefox back as a browser on my computer. I am not familiar with everything that I have to do, I need help. I had it for a long time but somehow I lost it.

Dell Optiplex desktop, Linux Mint Mate 22 OS. Currently updated to FF 150.0. For several months, this machine has failed to load bookmarks, approximately half the time. Banner message displayed advising user to load bookmarks. Closing and restarting FF usually (but not always) corrects this. Also, last month or so, bootup displays single window, even if there were two or more on previous shutdown. In settings menu, FF is set to re-open previous windows and tabs. Also on boot, this machine takes much longer to open FF than an older Dell Inspiron laptop, which is otherwise slower than this desktop. When FF icon selected in desktop, just before it opens, the tray flashes the missing extra window but it is not shown or available in the tray and does not load.

The two machines are set up identically, both in FF settings and with the same add-ons- Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin. Just looked in Synaptic of both machines and the laptop shows two FF items as installed- FF 150.0 +linuxn The FF Web Browser and FF-en locale English language pack. The desktop Synaptic shows no FF items installed (!). The laptop runs as expected, opening FF with all windows and bookmarks. Both machines received FF 150.0 via update manager.

I'd like to move the Firefox program files to a secondary hard drive without losing bookmarks, settings, etc. Please advise the best way to go about this. Win 11, Thank you.

I can't find latest Firefox apk for my android. It only shows play store link. I tried signing up for Gmail account but that requires phone number verification these days. Never in my life was creating a Gmail account so much hard. It doesn't even give option to get code on some other number. The only option it shows is to insert a sim and google will verify itself which is kinda annoying. Please share the latest official Firefox apk link. It's impossible for me to create Gmail account as there is no Sim in my phone.

I've been having a number of problems with Thunderbird recently and I'm hoping that deleting and reinstalling the app might help. But I worry that I will lose emails by doing this. I'm also wondering if the numerous folders I've set up will disappear as well. The issues I've been having, by the way, are emails consistently going into the wrong folder and, most recently, constantly being asked for my passwords. (I have emails from four email addresses being downloaded by Thunderbird.) I've had the password issue in years past, but it always seemed to resolve itself.

How do I install a PREVIOUS version of Firefox? I had version 149, and it auto updated on the 7'th. After that update, the problem began. The problem is, something in that update broke google maps as it's used on Realtor.com. It's impossible to drag the map with the mouse, I can zoom in or out with the scroll wheel, but then the area I want to look at is off the screen and I can't drag it back into view.

I downloaded version 149.0 and closed Firefox and tried to install it. BUT it starts, says it's checking space requirements and such, then the installer just stops... because version 149.0.2 is installed. I don't want to uninstall it because that'll wipe out all the settings I have and I'll have to redo every da*** thing from scratch.

I don't have time to wait weeks, months or years for enough people to report this bug and then developers fix the bug and roll out an update for it. I need to fix it now, tonight. And the only way I know to do that is to install the previous WORKING version of it.

Could someone please tell me how to force the installer to install version 149.0 WITHOUT having to uninstall version 149.0.2 and then having to redo every fricking thing...

The developers really should have a ROLLBACK utility in the Settings so that when something in an update breaks the functionality, all a user has to do is click the ROLLBACK button and boom, it reinstalls the previous version without having to jump through hoops to do it.

I do not have this problem in Chrome or any other browser, it's specific to Firefox. I do not like using Chrome or the other browsers I have. I much prefer to use Firefox. Someone please help with this, please!
