Hi everyone, I really like Firefox—it’s been my favorite browser for 20 years, both on Windows and GNU/Linux (ever since Windows XP)—but I’ve decided to switch to LibreWolf because I can no longer stand Snap hijacking the Firefox installation I set up via the .deb package. If anyone can help me stop Snap from interfering, I’d appreciate it.

Trying to install Thunderbird (the EN-GB) version on Linux using apt. I have found the package to install using the help and used apt-get install thunderbird-l10n-en-gb This command also pulls as a requisite the base thunderbird (the "en-US"/default version) which may or may not be reasonable? When I go into thunderbird help after the install finishes the "about" still shows "Mozilla Thunderbird Debian Package en-US" I know the difference is only subtle (small spellings etc) but I would like to have some confidence in what I am actually running, Is this a bug or was it just never checked? I have attached the help about image below.

Apparently I am not capable of dealing with all of the security elements of Firefox and LibreWolf. I primarily use Linux Mint, but have a Windows PC, Apple iPhone and Apple iPad. the whole two-step process and passwords have gotten to be to much to deal with. I do not have an authenticator app and do not want to have one. I am frustrated to no end!!!

How do I completely remove Firefox and LibreWolf and completely start over fresh?

Thanks!

Ever since last maj, windows are no longer resizable. Same Thunderbird version works OK on my laptop running Debian 12, but I cant easily upgrade version Debian 11 to debian 12 on this older desktop, so I wonder whether I could possibly de-install v140.13.0esr and re-install an older version, if then, which one would be suitable and available. If not, is there another trick to resize windows on v140.13.0esr ? Thanks in advance for your help.

I am okay with just being sent the download for win 10 or 11 because I'm not sure why its even giving me such a out dated version. (side note I do want to mention that it is amazing Firefox has the option and goal to let you install a different operating system instead of locking you out to just a Linux version and i do want to say i don't use Firefox as my main browser but a back up from now on because of the accessibility)

I got notifications that I needed to update my email. I tried to follow the directions but after it was uninstalled, nothing else happened and now it's gone and I have nothing. I do not know what to do and am panicked because it's the only way I have to contact many people and it's really important to me.
