You actually have an egregious error in your install procedure/program. 1) you fail to tell folks/warn them close down i) FF when installing the update and/or ii) save and delete all open sites in the FF being upgraded. 2) there is a failure to TELL us reboot FF after the install.

Doing research and writing all day long as I do, I actually hold a number of reference sites open in FF as I work.

My friend who happens to understand all this computer stuff tells me that the open sites on my FF is what impeded the successful install . . . .

The other grumble I have with you-all is that it has taken me too much time to try and find a way to respond to you with the information needed to solve this problem for the FF community . . . .

I am a paying/donator to FF . . . and I must tell you I am beyond disappointed by all this dropped ball on sensible communications practice!

In release 100 , why did you not bring my old profile data along??? I'm a computer professional and it was a nerve-racking experience. I can't image how most people could follow your instructions on how to recover from your thoughtless update procedure. I've been through many Firefox upgrades over the years without such effort.

I set Thunderbird up for the first time earlier today and wrongly opted for POP. I realise now that it means I can't see my Sent folder, etc, so I'd like to change to IMAP. Unfortunately the article explaining how to do this on your website does not relate to the newest version of Thunderbird, as installed today. I've tried deleting the programme and reinstalling but it's remembering that I chose POP and not letting me start with a clean slate. Please can you help me with this, as I'd love to use Thunderbird!

I have just installed V.100 and have come across a small problem. I can't sign into 'The Canberra Times' site. The option to sign in is missing from their home page. It is there using MS Edge or Chrome and I can login to the site on those two browsers. This does not seem to be a problem with other websites that I have tried since the new version!

I can't even begin to imagine what might be going on with a situation like this! Thanks.

After installing the latest update 91.0.9 (I think), TB starts, shows my 'folders' in the left column and 'event's in the right column, then, instead of showing the selected email folder, an hourglass appears for a few seconds and then nothing. I've sent multiple crash reports. I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. I've used TB for 10+ years on both PC n MAC - first time it's left me high and dry. HELP !!

I've used Outlook 2013 to manage my gmail for a number of years. I recently received an email from google stating that versions of Outlook 2016 and earlier will no longer work for gmail after 5/30/22. According to them, only newer versions of Outlook will offer the required "sign-in with Google" option. If this is correct, I'd like to move away from Outlook because the newer versions of Outlook may not work with my Windows 8.1 OS. To avoid the expense and possibility that a new version of Outlook may not work on my PC, I'm exploring Thunderbird. I'm very concerned about losing emails both in my inbox and the sub-folders I've created within my inbox. Am I correct in assuming that since I'm on an IMAP protocol with google that I'd be able to pull all of that same email from my inbox, and sub-folders within my inbox directly into Thunderbird? If my assumption is correct, will Thunderbird upon import automatically set up the same sub-folders with contents under my new inbox? I know that I have some cleaning up to do, is there a size limitation on how much Thunderbird can handle? Thank you!

PLEASE help me find a way around this 'so called' improvement of auto downloading any attachment or file to my Downloads folder without any choice from me. I have checked the 'always ask' in General settings - this functionality DOES NOT WORK - IT IS A waste of time. When prompt asks what you want to do, it auto downloads IN THE BACKGROUND even if you say open and do NOT check save option. This is a MAJOR frustration, makes extra work for me to have to remember to go back to Downloads to delete all these files that just pile up, where I separately saved-off the file as usual to my other, separate intended directory. We should have the right to make that decision on whether or not we want to save it to our computers and take up space. PLEASE REVERSE THAT FUNCTIONALITY TO WHAT IS WAS BEFORE. THANK YOU>

Hello All,

I've installed TB to replace my old Opera Mail which is getting too old for support.

I have over 25 000 mails from 2004 onwards.

Export from opera went fine, install into TB went fine and then i've realized that the mails were stored on C and my SSD C drive is too small for that (suggestion for the devs, make an option DURING install to avoid this....)

So I read the tutorials, moved the folder in appdata....then created a new profile which pointed to the folder I've moved to and I mist have done something wrong because I don't see any of the 25 000 old mails.

I created another profile and this time it asked me for my email details (login/pass) which I've entered but I'm back to the same problem.

How can I get out of this ?

I have saved my "original" email folder in which I have an "inbox.sbd" folder that seems to contain my mails and even the folders I've defined when I started setting up TB (before realizing it stored everything on C) so I' just like to use this layout but it won't work.

Should I create a new profile, enter my email infos and then overwrite the inbox.sbd with my old one or is there a sort of "reconstruct" option hidden somewhere ?

Thanks for the help and please take my suggestion to allow for email folder location choice seriously......

Its not really a migration question but can be helpful to those who wish to mange their stuff without the use of other people's computers(the cloud).

I would like to turn all my addons into a text or html file of links or names. Why? The addons are going wonky again a few folders seem to be walmare but not reporting to be malware, its a huge pita to , manually write down each one. Basically, I need to nuke my install and reinstall it all fresh then reinstall all my addons. This is no easy feat when you use 20+ addons. And yes this seems to happen regularly after a couple of years.

Another question, If I sync'd just the addons would it let give me the addons fresh from the file repository without anything extra folders/files or will it just save my current addon folder corrupt files and all?

Also if I just synced addons it won't mess with my bookmarks or settings, will it?
