The Firefox homepage is constantly broadcasting privacy incentives and ways we can donate to improve a free web, yet they need the permission to access my camera, mic, files and so on in exchange for the use of their program? I find this very contradictory, and would love to hear more from Firefox. I understand that certain permissions are necessary but i find the request for these things to be intrusive and upsetting when it's coming from a company that pats itself on the back when it comes to privacy and the fight for a free and open Internet.

Please at least provide the option to turn permissions that aren't necessary for the operation of Firefox on Android, off. Camera and mic, are not integral parts of my web search past time and therefore, i don't believe they are any of the Mozilla corporations interest either.

If there are ways to get back some of the privacy taken away by these requests using Android, as i understand getting away from all these permissions from every app is futile.. Please let me know. Maybe an app that retains some of these permissions, or blocks access to apps from accessing then? If there are suggestions out there I'm open to suggestions, thank you.

I have a firefox account for many years. my email provider went bankrupt, and I have no longer access to my emails. now I did reinstall firefox on my computer, and wanted to migrate my longterm account. I was able to log in successfully, but there was also an email sent to the bankrupt provider. email is returning immediately, and my account is now blocked. How do I get into my account?

I am migrating from Outlook to Thunderbird.

I have purchased a new computer running windows 8.

I have copied the outlook data file from my old computer to he new computer.

I have installed Thunderbird on my new computer.

I try to import existing email stored in Outlook to Thunderbird.

I get the message "either there is no default mail client..." I have made Outlook the default mail client and have rebooted the computer.

Any way to get thunderbird to recognize the Outlook file?

I've - I hope! - followed all the Thunderbird Support instructions on moving a Profile from one computer to another with a different OS (save a copy of the profile file from the first computer, download and install TB on new computer, locate its "Profile" folder, and then either paste the contents of the former profile file into the new profile file [thus overwriting the latter]), then open TB . . . but it didn't work.

I then tried the same, but with a slightly different method: I copied the name of the new profile file, gave it to the old computer's profile file, then renamed the new profile file, and pasted the old profile file -- now with the proper new name -- into the new directory. . . that, too, didn't work.

I've spent a few hours trying to get this to work, and am nearing the point of giving up on TB as an email solution.

Any help would be very welcome!

I have a workstation running XP (a perfectly good O/S - regardless of what Microsoft says) and on which I installed Thunderbird (v2.0.0.24)

For some reason, despite selecting to NOT have automatic updates, Thunderbird keeps automatically upgrading to the latest version (currently 24.4)

I have been using Firefox since the second public offering of v1, and been using Thunderbird since about 5 days after public release. When V3 of Thunderbird was released, i found it caused problems and could not forward or re-send emails in which someone had included emoticons (I don't use them myself, but some friends do). If your forums go back far enough, you may find my complaints I raised at the time. (the problem occurred on every computer I tried it on, so it wasn't that 'my' computer, O/s or whatever was the problem)

Unable to get anyone at Mozilla to address the actual issue, I reverted to using v2.0.0.24, and to the best of my knowledge, the issue is still a problem on new versions. Sometime since then, the whole look of Thunderbird has been changed from the nice 'clean' look of V2, to its current look, which I believe is an absolute mess. Tabs are a great idea on Firefox, but on Thunderbird they are as useful as Microsoft's idea of 'grouping' toolbar icons. It might make it look pretty, but it's bloody annoying for those of us who actually need to do work.

On at least 12 occasions, I have deleted the 'latest' version from my computer and reinstalled v2.0.0.24. Every time, I carefully ensure that automatic updates are disabled. Then, as if by magic, and usually within a week or two, I open Thunderbird to find the latest version staring back at me.

Folks, I am a great fan of Mozilla, and over the years, have encouraged probably hundreds of people to use Mozilla software over the pap offered by Microsoft. Unwanted updates on my computer ranks up there with unwanted bloatware, unwanted spyware and unwanted viruses.

Can anyone offer a solution to this problem? If I am unable to resolve it once and for all, I'll be 'firing' Thunderbird from my life.

bought new tower w/WIN 8.1 and changed ISP and e-mail provider...changed from slow land line to Dish sattelite using aol.com. Haven't been able to use TB since. I have no problem accessing e-mail via aol.com but I'd rather continue with TB. Problem has persisted for two months now!

I exported my Outlook contacts to a CSV file. When trying to import the CSV file into Thunderbird, only some of the CSV fields are listed in the field mapping tool. Most importantly, the email addresses are not in the list.

I ahve an excel database and want to use some of the information in it to provided email addresses for thunderbird. I have cut out infomration excel database I don't need and saved as csv. In thunderbird I try to import csv file - I align the data name for surname etc and import - thunderbird says 180 addresses imported but no information appears in the screen. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Tim

I've upgraded from XP to Windows 7 on the same PC. I was running TB under XP and have now downloaded Thunderbird into Windows 7. I want to access the folders and Address Book I was using on XP. All my files have been retained on the Hard drive.

Hello everyone,

i wonder if there is a way to import all my e-mails i used in e-mail 6.0 (t-online) in thunderbird now i used it previously as pop3.

a backup file contains .fdb files mostly when i extract that zip file i get many .bin files, so is there a way to have the bin files give me back the e-mails in thunderbird? per update of the software or someone please writing an addon that does this?

thanks in advance

I am using Kubuntu 13.10 64 bit OS and Thunderbird Ver 24.4.0.

I transferred my old profile in to the new system and eventually found where it goes but as advised previously I went to "Help | Trouble Shooting" and clicked on the "Open Directory" button alongside "Profile Directory" tag... the button does nothing. That's the bug, "the button does nothing"

Got a new computer and I just wanted to transfer all the contacts in my address book from there to my new computer on Thunderbird rather than painstakingly doing it one at a time! Can I import them all?

I wish to use Thunderbird on my home/office network from multiple computers with data on a central computer. At the moment I need to use mozbackup to transfer data from my desktop to laptop, which is a pain.
