I have TB 115.15.0 on an old PC (W10) I want to move TB to a new PC (W11)

If I go to Help> Troubleshooting Information And click on show folder it gives location of my profile as: C:\Users\Rick\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\4p8y3fgt.Rick Now that does contain ‘a mail folder’ of 48MB but it is not all of my filed mail. (local folders There is a filed mail folder for (local folders) at: E:\My email\Local Folders ( this is where my overall filed mails are) E:\My email\pop3.btconnect.com (this is an older account, no longer used)

I would like to get them both onto the C:\ active profile On new PC application & data will both be in C:\

What is best approach to homogenise the data so all on C:\ location data to new W11 PC ….. assuming I should first move stored mail to C:\ get it all working OK;

I'll do that Anybody advise on steps ? TB installed on C:\ On E: there are 2 folders E:\My email\Local Folders ( this is where my overall filed mails are) E:\My email\pop3.btconnect.com (this is an older account, no longer used)

I would like to get them onto the C:\ active profile Then I can move the lot to a new PC

I find that I have forgotten most of what I have learned about Thunderbird. Recently I needed to "refresh" the folder list from one of my email accounts for I had created a subfolder under a parent folder while using the browser to access the email account online. I remembered that I was able to "refresh" the folder list very easily for this happened in the past. I was able to find the resolution in Thunderbird's FAQ/Help, but that took some time.

You probably noticed that I quoted the word "refresh", that isn't the correct search criteria for it is actually a synchronization issue. Before you search how to Synchronize folders:

    1) Right click the email account
    2) Select "Subscribe" from the pull down list.
    3) A list will popup of all of the folders for that account
    4) Highlight any folder that doesn't have a checkmark in the box to the right of each folder and place a checkmark in the box by selecting the box.
    5) Select "Refresh" from the right panel, then select "OK"

Although I could use a PC based journal, I would like to have such a journal/note section within Thunderbird so that I can keep How-to notes.

When i try to install firefox in userprofile silent i get the UAC prompt to enter admin password i usually have to cancel it for the installation to proceed. How can we suppress the UAC prompt to install firefox as normal user in userprofile

Hi Folks,

As I said above, I just updated to Thunderbird version 128.2.1esr (64-bit) and seem to have lost a couple of functions, in particular the ability to make a new Tab, and the use of an extremely handy Add-on, Shrunked Image Resizer. I have Mac OS 12.7.6 and I noticed in the release notes for 128.2.1esr (64-bit) that this latest version's System Requirements are MacOS 10.15 or later. Does that mean that I should not have downloaded the latest version, and if so, how can I revert to an earlier version of TB that will allow me to use Tabs and Shrunked Image Resizer? I thought that Thunderbird was capable of recognizing which version of Mac OS I have and thus would not suggest I update to the latest version of TB if it won't work as it did with an earlier version of TB. I would be very grateful if you could suggest a solution to my problem.

Thanks, Chris O'Brien

Hello,

we are trying to update our Firefox ESR to 128.2.0 version.

The install seems to get stuck when executing "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\default-browser-agent.exe" -register-task 308046B0.

We've tried updating to 115.15.0 first, that seems to install fine. After updating to 115.15.0 we tried to update to 128.2.0 again and it still hangs on the same part.

Also note that this happens on both EXE and MSI package. We also use the Finnish language version.

Not really a question but I don't know where else to report bugs, and the developer suggested I post details here. I don't see a bug report forum.

As of version 130, the youtube mobile website does not render popup and floating menus properly anymore (no issues prior to this). The bar at the bottom of the screen for navigation between home, subscriptions etc will completely disappear at random after watching a video and hitting the back button. Also, popup menus (hide a video/ report a video /ignore a channel etc) will be too low and clip off the bottom of the screen. They are displayed behind the android navigation bar, making the lower options impossible to press, and the touch point is misaligned with the text option (pressing one option will give you the result of another option as though you had pressed that button instead.

These issues occur after watching one or two videos and hitting the back button. Functionality is restored by closing the tab or browser and reopening. Reloading the page does not appear to fix it.

i need to restore my email system ... I use aol currently I am not getting emails I really need from 2 companies in particular Redfin and Zillow. I am looking for a house please help me.

Today I manually download and rename the firefox executable so a script that runs as a Sandbox is spun up is ready to go immediately. But that entails me manually downloading, then renaming the installer to a name that the script always knows. And often the setup file gets updated on the web and I am running the prior version, or older depending on when I went thru that manual process.

So I am back looking for a way to either find a way to download the newest installer each time or find a way to kick off the internal updater right after its currently scripted install completes. Either could work.

I hate having to use Edge as its the browser MS automatically installs when a sandbox is spun up.

Or are there other ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Bill

Hello. I have installed Thunderbird on my MacBook Air M3, unfortunately indexing does not work. When I open the Activity Monitor, ‘Indexing Messages’ appears in the list, but after 2 hours it is still at zero, the first few were made in the first millisecond. What can I do? Thank you for your answer and best regards Florentin

In the past on this web page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ there used to be a link to see what was updated in each new release.

It's gone!

Can you please bring it back? If not, where can I find what's update in each new release?

Found the release info here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/desktop-release/win64/en-US/

I have a macbook pro m2 and use firefox nightly. Today my firefox has been updated and after that a lot of resources have gone: there is no more plus button to open a new tab, bookmarks are not being displayed in the bookmark bar anymore. I can't find its version, there is no about or similar feature to check what the current version is.

Hello, I have had to re-install Thunderbird after a disastrous upgrade to a more recent macOS, and subsequent downgrade. I thought that all my information would be preserved in the various Time Machine backups that I have made. However, all of my local folders containing 18 years' of email correspondece have disappeared. I can only view emails which are stored on the remote IMAP server. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, John.
