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

Updates have triggered on-boarding loops, Firefox has opened w/o it's title bar, menu bar only appeared intermittently, tabs and address bar were hidden, manual profile relaunches were required more than once, required customization panel to restore tittle bar, my data was almost lost. After much help from AI in fixing some of these problems, new updates caused them to reoccur again and again. I'm refusing updates at the moment. In over a decade of Firefox use I'd never experienced such grief. I know you are better than this, but I'm having to use Edge in the meantime. I was unfamiliar with this website before because I never had problems. You may have solved some of these problems, but I still have some recurring with each update. Thank you for your consideration.

I am trying to switch from the ESR channel to the release channel. I have Thunderbird 143.13.0esr and am trying to upgrade to 153 (not ESR). When I upgraded, Thunderbird could no longer find the inbox for my primary email and I had to restore both Thunderbird 143.13.0esr and my email library from my Time Machine backup.

I am seeking advice on how to do some cleanup of an inbox anomaly so that I can install 153 without losing my inbox.

Details follow:

My primary email account has had an oddity in Thunderbird for years in which I have two inboxes: an active one with lots of email messages as well as subfolders, and an inactive one which is empty and no subfolders. I have tried deleting the inactive one by selecting it in the sidebar and choosing File, Delete folder, but that command is gray.

By poking around in my Library, Thunderbird, my profile, Mail, my pop account of interest, I discovered the inactive inbox is named Inbox and has only two files, "Inbox" and "Inbox.msf". The active inbox is named "Inbox prev" and has these files: "Inbox prev", "Inbox prev.msf", and a folder "Inbox prev.sbd" which has a bunch of files and more subfolders. All of my four email accounts have multiple folders and subfolders, but I was able to identify both my primary email account and my active inbox from various folder names that were unique to that account and inbox.

Today I followed the following procedure:

1. Quit Thunderbird (and all other apps) 2. Force a Time Machine backup 3. Download Thunderbird 153 for English, US 4. Verify the SHA hash 5. Install Thunderbird 6. Verify the signature 7. Launch Thunderbird

Both my active and inactive inboxes in my primary email account were gone from the Thunderbird interface. I checked my library and the files appear to still be there.

I proceeded with the following remediation:

8. Restore Thunderbird 143.13.0esr from Time Machine, replacing the 153 version 9. Restore the Thunderbird library folder from Time Machine

I launched Thunderbird and my inbox has been restored to the UI, but I am on the esr channel and not the desired release channel.

Is there any kind of manual cleanup I can do to get rid of the inactive inbox, rename the active inbox from Inbox prev to Inbox, and then re-upgrade to 153?

I have asked the question multiple times, received multiple responses that do not allow access or clear instructions on: how to control Firefox restarts. I cannot get to Settings that has what the instructions say to look for.

Why do you guys always manage to break a feature with any new update?

For 148.0, you have caused the "Check for updates" button [available under Help > About Firefox] to completely disappear (even though it was here and working perfectly fine a few seconds ago with 147.0.4), creating an unnecessary blank space below the Firefox logo.

On another note, the new font for the logo is a very poor choice, it's a weird combination of square and rounded edges with weird proportions. Who validated this choice?

I believe I downloaded 153, but I don't where to find it.

The information regarding Version 153 and downloading it is confusing.

One page states, "Manual upgrade to 153 is now enabled via Help > About", but when I go to Help > About, all I see is the current version and the statement that it is up to date. The recommendation on one page regarding 153 is to switch from Release to ESR, although the contrary seems to be the case for Version 153.
