Migrate from 102.11.0 to 128.6

Hello,

Moving from an older Ubuntu 18.04 machine where Thunderbird is limited to version 102 to a newer machine running Mint 22 where the current version is 128.6

According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrading-older-version-thunderbird This should work without issue but the latest version mentioned in the article was 115.

Any change since the article was written? Do I need to install older versions to handle the migration to the latest?

Alternately would using the Export / import tools be better for this task than transferring the profiles?

Thank you

Every time I start Firefox after closing it, I get a screen saying "Your Firefox has been updated" plus an announcement about editing PDFs in Firefox. My degault home screen does not appear unless I click the "home" icon. This is frustrating, because the update message just won't go away.

The URL for that irritating message is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/135.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=134.0.2&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=135

I've attached a screenshot to show this, hoping you can suggest a way to fix the issue.

I was on FF ESR with manual update - setting = "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" I'm on Windows 10 Prof 64bit

On 3 Feb 25 I upgraded to 128.6.0 by downloading Firefox Setup 128.6.0esr 64bit.exe and installing in F:\Firefox (as usual)

Today, (9 Feb 25) I noticed the FF icon in the Task Bar was blank, so I went to F:\Firefox\firefox.exe and reinstated it. I just happened to go to Settings > Apps and noticed I had 2 FF installed:

128.6.0 installed 3 Feb 25 and 128.7.0 installed 9 Feb 25. My FF About says 128.7.0 is installed and F:\Firefox\firefox.exe is dated 8 Feb 25

Unfortunately there seem no way to see where the source is located for these 2 app entries. A search of C: did not find firefox.exe

So why has FF undated today when it is on manual update?

MAYBE I accidentally clicked update to one of the periodic prompts in the top right corner. If so, surely it should not create another entry in the Windows Apps settings

And is it safe to remove one of these, presumably the earlier one, or will that remove both as they seem to share the same folder F:\Firefox\

Thanks for reading Alan

The install page for Thunderbird Android recommends using F-Droid . I use the button on the Thunderbird website which takes you to F-Droid. I try to install it but a pop-up message says F-Droid install was designed for an older Android device but my device is not new. I would rather not use Play Store for this install. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam

I would like to know if Firefox has been able to make compact or reduce the sizes of the Tools and Menu bars. For the last time I checked they were too wide, thus making the Interface ugly.

Kind regards.

8 Feb 2025. Using samsung galaxy z flip 5, audiotechnica mth20x bt over bluetooth. Firefox mobile. Audio played from firefox app has gone wonky, hearing popping noises while audio plays. Have isolated this issue to Firefox, on other apps audio does not have decreased fidelity. Other devices also do not pose this same issue. Any idea why?

XUL error is not solved: reinstall is NO option, I did this on one laptop and almost all personal data was gone.

When is Mozilla taking responsability and solve this problem ?

Or is is not solvable and do I have to transfer all my personal data to an alternative browser? a lot of work for a stupid error.

Kind regards,

Hans.
