Being in a rush after a botched TB update from v120 to 140.0esr, and missing disk backups, I reinstalled v102 and recreated two of my four email provider accounts in TB 102. Now. I'd like to try the update again this way: 1. export the few messages downloaded to the reinstalled v102 2. Completely delete v102 and any traces of TB on my C: disk (Program Files folder, user account folders, registry...) 3. Install the latest version (143 as I write this) 4. Copy and set as default (or import?) a two-weeks old disk backup of the old TB v102 profile into v143 without anything missing:

   - Four email accounts
   - All the messages in all the mailbox folders (received, sent, drafts, etc.) of these accounts
   - The complete archives folders structure and content
   - All the other folders I created as direct children of the email accounts in the TB "Folders" outline and their contents
   - one RSS feeds account and its settings
   - ~40 RSS feeds subscriptions and their settings

5. Import the recent messages from step 1 into the corresponding TB accounts.

Is that the correct way to do this?

I'm wondering about a few things:

   - Best email export format for later import?
   - Will the restored email accounts automagically reconnect to the provider accounts? I may have changed the format of one of them from Imap to pop3, and the server handled it very well, but it would be Imap again in TB after restoring the disk backup...
   - Why is v140 the only one with ESR in its name and not the following ones? I was on ESR when I froze 102 and blocked updates)
   - Is the Sqlite DB part ot the TB account file structure, and is it carried over when moving or duplicating that account?
   - Has the TB account folder and/or the Sqlite DB changed format between v102 and v143?

P.S. the email account for this post is among the inactive ones at the moment!

Hi

i use Mozilla at work, in logistics.

When booking shippments we use "nShift". Booking is repetitive, so the autofill function (in swedish its autofyll) is pretty useful, and we have used it extensively...now for some reason it has just disappeared and we cant get back.

See uppploaded imgage, tried to follow the instructions,..... also in my edition there is no subheading caled "Formulär & autofyll", it just says "Autofyll".

So the question is, what to do to get the autofill back.

Thnaks for all the help i can get.

2. Typing into search bar for Duck Duck Go in new tab page types directly into active bar...

3. Active bar is no longer at the top but is in Bookmarks toolbar...

I suspect some update problem.

Hello, I have spent the last couple of hours reading through other questions and posts but nothing seeemd to work. If I try to copy a shared link in OneDrive or SharePoint on my desktop and then paste that link into Outlook Web App, the paste function does not work. The option is there, but the actual pasting does not materialise. CTRL+V also does not work. The only thing that does work is if I paste the link into another window first and then copy again, and the CTRL+V works. Right click and paste never works. I have tried this in a private window and in safe mode. I have also checked the clipboard settings in about:config to make sure they are not working against me. It works fine on Chrome. I made a quick Loom to demo the issue: https://www.loom.com/share/911ae68d614947aa9ea6beaba0d2f5b0?sid=2257b601-939b-4d95-90d8-bb2c95b1ed81 Firefox is up to date, as is Windows. It has been like this since I moved over from Chrome a few weeks ago. Is this a common issue or a 'me' problem? I have seen all the workarounds, but I am trying to understand why right-click, paste just doesnt work. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Hello, Attached are the messages I have been receiving ever since 6 October 2025. I've tried to read about fixing these myself, to no avail. (I mean, I can Read; I just can't fix this.) I've tried to Compact ALL folders individually. But that seemed to do nothing. (Before 6 October, the Thunderbird window would at least "flicker" a little after compact.) Trash is empty. Tried disabling McAfee AntiVirus & Firewall. And, no, this isn't happening because I'm using McAfee; I've been using McAfee since Windows XP and Thunderbird since before it "broke away" from Mozilla. They have, until 6 October, played nice together. I really like Thunderbird so I do not want to find another email client/program/what-have-you. There are LOTS of saved emails that I cannot move/copy to "save space", so...Help? Please?

Thanking you in advance, tonyg

P.S.-I am not computer illiterate. But, slow, easy to follow, non-BIOS changing, step by step directions would be preferred.

Dear all, After migrating Thunderbird to a new computer with Windows 11, I noticed that Thunderbird no longer opens links in emails. When I click on a link, no browser opens and nothing happens, even though I can see on the bottom bar that it recognises the HTTP link. How can I fix this? Reinstalling the programme did not help, and I would like to keep the profile and email settings I already have. Kind regards

Next I will be enable option Security browser then Firefox starts with green frame. After close Firefox and next run then starts read-only mode. Eset Team is not fair play becouse resolving problem only disable option Security browser. So why is there an option that prevents Firefox from launching? All my portable browsers without Eset Security working without any kind of problems, for example Tor, Opera.
