Telstra are changing me to fibre to my home (currently copper to home). In the process they have removed Thunderbird and introduced Telstra web mail which I do not want. But, I do not know have to re-install Thunderbird on my desktop. I need some help as my knowledge is more in keeping with 1940's to 1970's technology. Hope you can help Bob

Hello:

When I signed into my computer this morning, a pop-up asked me if I wanted Firefox to update. I let it do that, and then a pop-up came up letting choose among some photos and art for a desktop background. It even let me upload a photo of mine. I chose one of yours, now I can't change to any other photo I have on my computer. Please help.

Thank you,

Cynthia M.

You have invited me to download a new version of Firefox.

So What do I do with my existing Firefox?

If I don't like it, can I go back?

Please let me know.

Hello,

I am writing this question concerning the new Thunderbird notification I received recently, prompting me to update to the Release Channel. Since I installed the client from the Microsoft Store, will it get automatically updated to the previous channel or will I have to do it manually? If I am not mistaken, to move between channels you need to do it yourself. How will this work with the Store version?

Thank you for your time.

I'm having problems getting Thunderbird to install. I've used it for a number of years and very happy with it but now it's giving me fits. I made 3 donation last year and it almost immediately quit working for me.

We have several windows 11 computers accessing a single Thunderbird profile one-at-a-time. After one of the computers updates Thunderbird with the auto updating, the other computers get an out-of-date with profile message and then we have to download and upgrade to the new version of Thunderbird manually.

It would be very nice if when the out-of-date with profile arises that the user is given the option to update their installation of Thunderbird, i.e., invoke the auto update.

Thanks.

If I have to restart my computers when I am in the middle of working because Firefox won't work unless I do, I will find another browser. And yes, I have it set to only update when the computer is not being used, but obviously that does work. Maybe give me the option to set a time to restart?! Like the middle of the night as opposed to the middle of a working day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really???????????

My C hard drive is almost full. How can I get Firefox to run from the D drive? I tried copying the files there but it would not run. Do I need to edit something in the Registry? I'm using (for as long as I can) Win 10 on a Dell desktop. Latest version of Firefox is installed.

Thanks for any assistance.

Today, when I went onto Vanguard, at the top of page it said my browser is not supported. However, Firefox says it is "up to date." It had already been changed to 115.24.0esr, as my macbook uses 10.13.6 High Sierra. Firefox says I am good and supported until August 1, 2025, but I am still getting the non-support message on the Vanguard site. Who is right?

This latest version of Thunderbird has all sorts of bugs. I can't open or view email, can't save drafts & send messages (get errors: failed to save drafts & send message). I constantly reinstall the app: works fine at 1st; but then the same bugs keep resurfacing. Is there a way to go back to the earlier release version? Thunderbird was working fine before this latest version was installed.

The attached image shows the error message I get when I try to run Thunderbird. This has been the case for several months, and all of the suggestions I've found online have failed to make any difference at all.

It seems this must be a fairly common error with other software, but within Mozilla's help menus I could find only one thread of two messages that addressed it at all, with no solution offered.

I'm running Windows 11, and have had no problems with Thunderbird until this one.

I hope someone can offer a solution that works for me.

Thanks,

Neil Farrell
