EVERY TIME I CLOSE FF WHEN I REPOPEN IT, I END UP BACK AS IF I JUST INSTALLED IT. ALL MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE, ALL MY EXTENSIONS ARE GONE, LIKE I JUST INSTALLED IT.

I'VE TRIED UNINSTALLING AND REINSTALLING AND IT STILL DOES IT.

I am running Thunderbird vers 127 (I think) on Win 10. When I try to start it all I get is the error -

"A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version, or create a new profile for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires setting up your accounts, calendars and add-ons again..".

How do I get back to my profile? All was fine until May 7th when I went on hols but but this happened when I tried to restart on 19th May (so don't think it has updated to vers 128)

Any help much appreciated as this is a complicated profile and would take an age to re-build. (I have got a coy of the relevant profile as a backup)

Hello I'm using TB 128 esr / flatpak on Ubuntu 25.04. I'm satisfied, but I want to install Thunderbird in parallel before switching to this version. https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/installer-thunderbird-sous-linux#w_changing-channels I read and managed to install TB "monthly beta" by extracting the tar file. It wasn't possible to retrieve the profile via the zip file because it's 2.4 GB. It seems to work, even though it uses quite a bit of CPU power, ~20%!

1/ Anyway, my main interest would be to have a usage similar to Firefox standalone, which I can use from my computer to my laptop :-) with the same profile stored on an SSD data drive. I don't want to install the profile on my computer or laptop system drives!

2/ How do I launch this version at startup?

I normally use Fedora but my Fedora machine died yesterday. For a time being I want to use Thunderbird on my Mac.

I have a backup of my thunderbird profile directory from Fedora 42. This corresponds to thunderbird-128.8.0. On the other hand, the current version on the mac is thunderbird-138.0.2.

1. Since the version number is higher on the mac I think I will be able to use the old 128.8.0 profile with the new mac version ?

2. If I do this, I will not be able to transfer my profile back to Fedora when I get it working again (because the version number there is lower) ?

3. Is there a way from me to install thunderbird-128.8.0 on the Mac so that I will be able to transfer my profile back to Fedora ?

I used to have Adblock installedl then lost it. I've just reinstalled it, but it doesn't seem to be working. What have I done wrong? Is there another system that Firefox recommends? Thank you.

Hi Team, I am trying to build firefox from sources (git) and I need to build it natively for riscv64 architecture board. Can I get any build steps for building firefox like any kind of documentation or any steps.Can I get any suggestions or help regarding to this Thanks in advance Regards, Saiteja

I originally deleted Firefox by accident and have downloaded it via Microsoft Store. All seems well then after I click on the app to open it, I Get the ‘Windows cannot find C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again’ for ‘Firefox’ error how can this be corrected?

I "create a new profile" days ago what I first received the notice to update. It seem to work except when I click on a url to view. I received instead the notice that I am in the old firefox and to "Update". I did again and it seem to work until I clicked a url to view and again received a notice to "update by creating a profile.

It's very frustrating - Now I can't open firefox at all. It wants me to "fix it" or create a new profile"

I have noticed that Firefox has been getting too many updates recently...even as much as 2 updates this week alone. Frankly i'm sick of getting the green icons and pop-ups in the upper right corner. Is there a way in about:blank codes to turn off these stealth downloading behaviour and prompt pop-ups to restart the browser and let me just manually do it in settings when i want to but without notifications ?

I am running Version 128.10.1esr on Ubuntu Mate for RPI 5, do I need to change anything to update Thunderbird software channel, or I simply uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird will do, I don't need to backup.

was Windows 10 Pro, now Windows 11 Pro on replacement laptop (old one is not operational). I can't get my profile into Thunderbird because (presumably) I'd backed it up using my cloud backup service (and forgot that most of the time it's incremental), with the possibility of a straight copy from the old SSD if it's not fried.

How can I at least retrieve the data in there, (and/or convert it to a readable format) i.e. emails, that are in the Mail folder, including Local Folders? Some of that goes back to early 2000's, and some accounts that I no longer have. It's probably better to have most of that out of Thunderbird anyway, since my profile is ~99GB on disk.

Currently I have at least 7 active email accounts, and that fluctuates with .edu addresses. In the profile IMAP Mail folder, there are 20 .com account folders, a few of which are inactive or from changes, and a couple from setting up my main account just to see if that would link up with the associated files in the old profile (not). I can't tell what they all are except for those for which I'd made subfolders under the IMAP Inbox.

So since I don't only have 1-2 accounts, this is a big deal, and having to keep multiple browsers/private tabs open is not easy to work with. I'd even tried the Firefox Containers as a temporary work-around, but I'm having troubles with that.

Any help is appreciated! I can't get anything done, and the new laptop doesn't even have all that I need set up yet.
