I've been using Thunderbird for many years. My current version is 45.2.0. My computer runs Linux Kubuntu 15.10

So yes, it's ten years old and it's showing its age. I have a new box I built, and have Kubuntu 25.04 installed. It installed the then current version of TB. I have yet to set things up, but migrating is a priority now.

Some solutions say (on ubuntu/kubuntu) to just copy the directory "/home/username/.thunderbird/profile.default" from the old to the new box. I would likely do it by zip, rar or ssh transfer.

If I do that, when opening up TB on the new box, does the data get converted? and if so, is it automatic? It seems to me that after then years, the data format would have some changes.

I'd appreciate any insight on this. Thank you.

THE FOLLOWING SHOWED AFTER FIREFOX WAS UPDATED: NO SETTINGS HAVE BEEN CHANGEDTHE BOOKMARKS AND HISTORY SYSTEM WILL NOT BE FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE ONE OF FIREFOX’S FILES IS IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION. SOME SECURITY SOFTWARE CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.

Newly installed FF browser. Tried transferring bookmarks from Chrome to FF using "import bookmarks" menu. Appended .csv file without error but still bookmarks cannot be seen. Tried method two. Using Chrome bookmark manager, downloaded .html file. Used FF again to append without error but the same no bookmarks seen.

Is it really impossible to automatically transfer bookmarks from Chrome to FF?

My bookmarks bar, etc have will not synced with my Firefox even though I ran "sync" several times. I haven't used this laptop in quite awhile, so I had to log in and sync. Also in my themes, a certain creator "MaDonna" has error messages on all of them" Cabin in the Mountains (and all others by her) by MaDonna could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled." In my extensions page, I get the same error message. I am beyond frustrated, I'm also very computer literate, but this mess has me baffled and frustrated :(

I have a Windows Surface Pro 8 and when I set it up, I had no issues with the Syncing or Add ons/Themes/Extensions, everything synced just fine. I have Theme categories set up, and that's not even on the Themes page. I have logged into all of my Firefox/Mozilla accounts. Can anyone help?

Youtube has two settings that must be turned on for captions to show and start automatically when watching a video. "Always Show Captions" and "Auto Play Captions" and not be forced to be signed in to YT. Both settings must be checked off/turned on for captions to work and "set" in the cookies, for captions to work when not signed into YT.

Previously, one could sign in to YT, re-select the settings, refresh browser and then sign out and the captions would work when signed out and viewing YT content.

Since your update today, YT's "auto play captions" option is now missing when using Firefox, but not when using chrome, meaning when using Firefox, it can't be selected while using that browser. The result is that persons who choose to use Firefox instead and don't want to be signed in to youtube, not wanting our information followed in a non anonymous manner, can't use firefox to watch YT and still have captions working without having to constantly turn them on for every single video watched (that's where "auto play captions" came in).

Bad, bad move. On both mozilla's part and YT's.

Laptop Windows 10. Firefox/Mozilla ask me to update. Did that 3 hours ago. Cannot find my History and Bookmarks from prior update. I have restarted my laptop since but still nothing... Can you please help?

I have 2 parallel accounts with the same ISP. As of 2 days ago, whenever I try to send mail, I get this message: “Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Command rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.” I receive mail as normal. Using the other address with exactly the same settings allows me to send normally as I have for the past ten years! Nothing appears different anywhere in the settings. There were no upgrades that I am aware of. I have since found that I can send from my basic little "travel" computer without issue. Any ideas? BTW, using POP mail settings.

Ever since the last update, I have been unable to access an HTTP site on my home network. Site does not have https setup. Site does require authentication. It my home network (so only accessible when I am home). Firefox immediately returns "HTTP ERROR 401 Unauthorized". How can whatever you turned on be turned off so that I can resume using Firefox (instead of Safari, which doesn't have this issue)? If your answer is "setup https", that's not what I'm asking (remember I said this was on my home network, so only accessible when I am at home).

I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to 11. Sometime after that I realized that when I go to Firefox Passwords, I am unable to Edit or See the passwords.

I can Delete the password entry in it's entirety. I can Copy the Username.

I cannot Edit the entry. I cannot Copy the Password. I cannot See the Password. I cannot Export Passwords. When I click on those options, nothing happens.

Suggestions?

Within the last few days, I have been unable to browse to our vCenter server using Firefox. When I do initially, I get the usual certificate error. Once accepted, I get an error that Firefox cannot connect to the server.

I receive the same error in Private mode as well.

I am able to browse without issue using Chrome which leads me to believe the problem is with Firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Immediately after my last Mozilla update, the system asked me if I wanted Firefox as my search engine. I clicked yes, as I always do when prompted. I don't know if this is the cause or if there's another connection I'm missing, but since then I haven't been able to access other websites. Every time I try, an error message appears saying "Oops, the system has crashed..." or something like that. However, if I use Google or Edge, everything works fine. How can I fix this problem? Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance.

When downloading a ICS appointment file to thunderbird calendar it takes you through 3-4 step for one download. Is there a shorter way to download ICS files to thunderbird calendar?'

I’m hoping to find out if there is any setting or option in the Firefox for iOS app that would toggle permanent display of the current website URL instead the address bar.

Noticed while doing a google search: after searching, the address bar truncates the displayed URL to just “google.com,” which is very useless in itself - tapping the address bar, however, fills it with the terms of my search. There is no way to view the full URL from here; you have to long press the address bar, after which you need to tap “Copy URL,” then paste it somewhere else, like a Notes app, to view the actual URL that was copied.

Am I missing anything, or is that the current most efficient way? If it is, why? It seems counterintuitive to obfuscate URLs like this.

I will clarify that so far I’ve only seen this while searching with Google. On other sites, the URL is still shortened severely to show just the domain (still a very inconvenient design choice that cannot be disabled, though), but at least there IS one being displayed at all.

Has this issue been brought up before? It seems like a relatively new change, and one that hasn’t benefited users, so I’m curious if there is some kind of workaround I couldn’t find.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Thunderbird has a routine problem with being unable to log into various mail servers. I have four accounts and they all seem to share this problem.

Most recent update: I've tested this in Windows Safe Mode, and the problem has not appeared. Since I can't do any useful work in Safe Mode, it's hard to give it a thorough test, but so far so good. Also, I have removed AVG antivirus because it was redundant. I have seen no improvement since it was removed.

Can this problem be resolved?

Greetings: Running TBird desktop with email provider Fidei. The email portion works fine (can send & rcv emails)...but upon accessing any of the other features, like Calendars or Lists...the content appears for a moment, then the Login dialog pops & my content for that feature goes blank. I'm providing (what I believe are the correct credentials) but it appears not to accept them...popping again. Are there separate credentials I should be providing for the other features of TBird? It didn't used to behave this way. Thanks in advance for any feedback/guidance. Ed in Tampa

Using FireFox browser

If IMAP folders have been deleted from the server, my understanding of the expected result is that they would no longer be visible on the client. Instead they display in an italic font. Is there a way to make these ghost folders go away? I've tried Unsubscribe from Deleted Folders (Folders display but no tick box to unsubscribe) Deleting cache directories etc all to no avail.

Am I missing something here?

I have the thunderbird app on my Linux SSD I set up Thunderbird all went fine when I installed my outlook account, I also have windows 11 so I booted into windows installed Thunderbird there and when I add the same account that i used on the linux. For some reason it wont let me sign in it gives me an account credentails error then send me to microsoft to sign in another way, the recovery email address is not the same as the one I have signed into linux on. I checked the password and recovery email I created and Im able to sign in the password is fine and the recovery email is as well. The thunderbird I installed on windows the account I am trying to add the recovery email is someone elses account not mine for recovery and its saying the password is wrong. I have outlook on my windows desktop and can sign in to that account I even signed out and back in again perfect. I checked the recovery email and password on microsoft web site for outlook and my account credentails are fine. I cant figure this out. It works fine on linux and the shortcut I have on my windows for outlook. But wont allow me to set it up on Thunderbird I installed on my windows. Why is it that thunderbird worked fine setting up on linux with my account but not on windows... I did delete microsoft edge a week or so ago I was wondering if that could be why I dont know.
