Hi Firefox I installed Firefox and I have a problem with transferring passwords from Chrome to Firefox because I don't see the option to export hala to it, how can I do it and do I need the PC version to do it? Best regards, Kacper.

I have the Android version of Firefox

I have followed all of the on line instructions to move/copy Bookmarks from Firefox Nightly (current version as of 20February025) to regular Firefox browser. Both are running on same machine. Nightly install is also running Firefox ad blockers. Following all of the instructions on line I can find to accomplish, but cannot move book marks to Firefox. Have copied bookmarks from Firefox Nightly as HTML file to stand alone device but unable to get the bookmarks to import from stand alone device into Firefox. Assistance please.

I've tried 7 times to import my bookmarks from Chrome into Firefox. Firefox says that the import was successful each time, but the bookmarks aren't showing up in the Bookmark Tool Bar. It's only showing the older import, not the latest. If I go to one of the new pages, it shows that it is bookmarked, but the list that it belongs to is nowhere to be found....

So how do I update to the newly imported "Imported From Firefox" folder?

Hi all.

Previously, when moving to a new computer (Windows 11) with Thunderbird, I would install a new instance of Thunderbird on the new computer and run it once. This created the default Thunderbird profile in the Profiles directory. I would then copy the contents of the existing Thunderbird profile into the new one. This allowed Thunderbird to be fully operational with all accounts and filters working, requiring no further setup.

In version 140, I have followed the same process. While I do see all of the email accounts, they are not functioning.

Any advice on how to do a migration with Thunderbird 140 version?

I have 3 computers and I want to make sure Thunderbird is synchronized on all 3. Yes, I have checked your forums for help. Here’s my configuration:

Main PC – used daily. Thunderbird has 4 email accounts. One is IMAP, the others are POP. Backup PC – Used only occasionally. files on this computer are synchronized with the Main PC about once per month. The email accounts are the same as the main computer. Laptop – Used only occasionally. files on this computer are synchronized with the Main PC about once per month. The email accounts are the same as the main computer.

I have read articles on how to move profiles, but I have not come across one that does what I want to do. Also, I am confused about whether filters can be duplicated on more than one computer. I have seen suggestions to just use IMAP (which might work for some, but not all, accounts), but that doesn’t address how to copy filters and keep them synchronized.

Here’s what I would like to do.

Step 1: Back up Main PC Step 2: Copy Thunderbird emails and filters from that backup to the Backup PC Step 3: Copy Thunderbird emails and filters from that backup to the Laptop.

When all steps are completed, I would expect that if I open Thunderbird on either the Backup PC or the Laptop that all messages, folders, and filers would be exactly like those on the Main PC.

Is this possible? If so, what must I do to ensure everything works as I would like?

Thanks, Alan

Several Months ago I bought a new W11 HP laptop and successfully followed the following procedure provided by David to get my TB profile/data and all files and folders onto this new computer. Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

here is the info in brief steps:

 1.  ensure thunderbird is NOT running on old machine
  2. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
   3.this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
  4. highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
  5. ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
  6. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  7.you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
  8. start Thunderbird and all should be there 

There were a few hiccups but it works great! I now want to make sure I am creating a back up copy to save on a flash drive just in case something happens. I followed steps 1-3 above and that should be my back up..RIGHT? I did that and saved it in a folder labeled TB back up Profile and a date. My old was was to just back up the TB profile folder alone but I think this one saves everything. (accounts, folders, Local etc. Have I done it right???

I am trying to export my profile and associated information to my new PC. When i follow the instructions given for export I can't find a file that ends xxxxxxxxx.default-release. This is what I have found: C:\Users\susan\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\epkxk9e0.default Obviously it doesn't have the default ending with -release. How do I get to that? If I can export to a .zip file can I upload that to the new PC?

It seems that my main page settings aren't the same from one computer to the other. For instance, I use Roboforms password keeper and have an icon for it above the bookmark ribbon on one computer, but moving to the newer computer, that is missing. What am I doing wrong?

For some years I have transferred the current Thunderbird data profiles from a desktop computer to a laptop once a year when traveling. When returning home six months later I have been able to delete the old data profiles in the desktop and transfer the 'current data' from the laptop over. This system has worked for some years however after recently upgrading the laptop to the latest version (140.2.1esr) and installing the latest version on the desktop (both 140.2.1esr) the transfer of data fails. The program identifies the data on the laptop as an "old program". Could someone point me in the right direction and advise where I am going wrong at the moment. Thanks in anticipation , Bruce
