Dear Foristi, after updating to V. 135 Oesr (64Bit), neither AOL mail nor Yahoo mail cooperate any longer. Passwords checked, correct. Other PC, not updated, still connects to AOL and Yahoo addresses without flaw. OS: Linux Mint, both PC have 8 GB RAM. Where did I screw up?

Thanxalot in advance -rick

My Firefox browser has just been updated .. not by me but somehow .. to 140.11.Oesr(64-bit) Its completely messed up all my settings .. why? Its taken me the best part of this morning to sort everything out . All my bookmarks were not displayed, the web pages that should have been displayed on startup weren't.. and to cap it all the "Done" button is hidden at the bottom of the page .. and why is it needed  ? all other setting just need to be changed to set them. Its so annoyed me that I've downloaded Chrome. and I'm using Opensuse Leap!

End user here, with Thunderbird for years, now on several machines that I use. Keep getting the warning window about "ESR" change. I have no wish to re-install Thunderbird, on each machine, nor to go beyond the normal updates. Can't tell which "channel" I need to choose. Unwilling to just guess. Could re-install on all five machines, if that's truly necessary. Hope not. An explanation of the simplest way to dispose of this issue, is the help I'm looking for. I think I'm currently set to the lower case address. And arranged such that each machine updates to the current content.

Hello all After a Thunderbird update, a folder named "thunderbird" was created in my Personal folder. This folder is empty. After deleting the folder, it is recreated when Thunderbird is restarted. How do I get rid of this folder? Alternatively, what does this folder contain, and how can I move it to a different location?

thanks Thomas

I opened Thunderbird 140.9.1esr from flatpak on Debian 12 and today I noticed a message that says: "Flatpak ESR application ID change We're switching the Flatpak ESR application ID from org.mozilla.Thunderbird to org.mozilla.thunderbord_esr."

1. How does Thunderbird know it's flatpak name is changing? How do i turn off all auto updates including checking things like flatpak name changing?

I have installed the .deb version of Mozilla Firefox on Ubuntu. It was recently replaced by unattended-upgrades with the snap version. I get the impressions that is due to the fact that unattended-upgrades does not consider https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release as a source when running.

It seems that it would be possible to configure unattended-upgrades to include https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release.

The current value for "Origin" in https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/Release is "namespaces/moz-fx-productdelivery-pr-38b5/repositories/mozilla" (to me pr-number looks like a pull request).

I would like to confirm whether or not this is a stable value for Origin, and if not - can a stable value be allocated?

It would have been highly beneficial to provide a function or procedure to migrate all files (if they existed) from org.mozilla.Thunderbird to org.mozilla.thunderbird. In the absence of such a mechanism, the update effectively behaves like a fresh installation, creating the impression that all user settings and data have been lost.

I resolved the issue by manually copying all files from /home/USER_NAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/ to /home/USER_NAME/.var/app/org.mozilla.thunderbird/ and restarting Thunderbird, after which everything functioned as expected. This could also have been addressed through a symbolic link to the new path.

I believe more care should be taken when implementing breaking changes of this nature, as many end-users would not know how to resolve this issue on their own. Clear guidance or automated migration would help prevent unnecessary disruption and confusion.
