Google provides a different key to differentiate installed copies of Google Chrome (standard or "Google Chrome for Work") in this file:

"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Info.plist"

Google Chrome:
<key>KSBrandID</key>
<string>GGRM</string>

Google Chrome for Work:
<key>KSBrandID</key>
<string>GGRO</string>

Is there such an identifier on Firefox vs Firefox ESR?

Thanks, Don

Hi, I've received the email below from Microsoft today.

I have 15 email accounts linked to Thunderbird mail and use up to 5 of them daily. Sometimes 'instant' communications on one or more of my accounts can be important.

Will Thunderbird mail still function in the same way from 16th September?

I apologise if this question has been answered somewhere else. I searched but could not find it.

"The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods."

When I receive an email that has a link, Firefox opens without any of my settings. This also happens with Firefox pop-ups, which indicate I don't have certain products, such as Web Advisor, even though I do.

I guess the first question is why a new iteration of Firefox is opened when I already have it running.

My original disk lost its XP Pro, so I got a new PC. I can still access most files on my old disk, as it is now attached via an external enclosure, but I cannot find how to get access to my old Thunderbird inbox. "File Transfer Wizard" is missing, and MS Search is broken and won't start. T'Bird works fine on the new disk/PC, but I need to look up some correspondence on the old disk. Is there some file I can point T'Bird to, that will contain my old emails ? Can I somehow merge the old and current files so I can search on a subject or person ?

I'm trying to send a large attachment with Thunderbird using Filelink. First I have to configure a Filelink account. The first step in the instructions for configuring Filelink says:

"At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options

Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Options"

With Firefox open I click on the Firefox logo on the top left, but this apparently isn't the Firefox button as there's no Options option. Where is the Firefox button? Will the Menu button then appear? If not, where is the Menu button? Or is there another way to configure a Filelink account?

I know how to link a web url, but I cannot find a way to link an email address in the body of an email. I want the recipient of my email to be able to click on the email address that is displayed in my message and have it open a new email to that address on their computer like I have done in every other mail software. Thanks in advance for your help.

I stopped using my original email account and started using a new one. I had created many local folders when using the original email. Because I kept getting error messages for the original email account every time I started Thunderbird, I deleted the original email account. I didn't realize the local folders would also be deleted. Is there any way to get the local folders back?

I am sorry, but my question is in Dutch.

Op mijn desktop werkt thunderburd in het geheel niet en is zeer traag, werkt voor geen meter.  Ik krijg telkens de melding, Thunderburd reageerd niet. Op mijn laptop werkt het normal. Hoe kan dat. Bijde computers hebben Windows 7

Hello,

I want to transfer all my mails to local folders as soon as they arrive to Thunderbird and delete them from the server. I can do it manually by moving mails by hand, but I want this to be done by Thunderbird automatically.

After a few hour search, I found that there is an option about deleting mails from the mail server if I use POP3, but there is not an option for IMAP.

Important note: my mail cannot be set-up as POP3, so please don't segguest setting it up again using POP3.

Thanks in advance.

I would like to upgrade my o/s to Windows Server 2012, however I need to know that Thunderbird email client is fully compatible under Windows Server 2012? Otherwise I will stick with Windows 8.1. I just trashed my server, so I am having to reimage Windows on my Drive C:, and was considering upgrade to 2012, or stay with 8.1.

Currently running Version 32.0. Since this was installed, my Contact List is not displayed in alphabetical sequence. Instead the contact seem to be displayed by Activity date and/or time, then by name sequence. Example, I had a 25 contact list in jumbled sequence, when I changed a piece of dat and found the changed contact was now at the top of the list! I changed a contact which should appear above this on and it also went to the top of the list. In this manner, I got the entire list in order. I then saw an error on one and corrected that contact data. That then went to the top of the list!

If I can provide any other information, please let me know.
