I'm an IT support professional and in our environment we are still running few servers (for multiple reasons) with OS version Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and they have currently Mozilla Firefox ESR (x64 en-US) 115.15.0 installed. I couldn't find any clear answer, hence I've created this ticket - is Mozilla Firefox ESR 115.16.0 supported on this OS ? - usually you are not referring to Microsoft Windows Server in you release notes info - f.ex. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/115.16.1/system-requirements/ so I need clear answer. Also I cannot download Mozilla Firefox 115.16.1 from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/115.16.1/releasenotes/ - if I click download it always downloads Mozilla Firefox 128 instead. So please let me know if there is any Mozilla supported version for Microsoft Windows Server 2012. Best Regards, Milosz Wrzalek

i was using firefox with multiple tabs for most of today, had to shut pc down to run errands. When i restarted pc, firefox would not start, i have it pinned on my task bar/start menu/whatever. I opened my system moniter to see what was going on when i tried to start firefox and the processes do not show up in the process list. I tried a reinstall with the ubuntu software store and no noticeable change in behavior. Not sure how to get into the profile section, the option for it with a right click on the firefox icon does nothing seemingly. Under normal operations i have seen two firefox processes listed.

Today is the first day using your latest update of Thunderbird (128.2.3esr (64-bit)) and I have been experiencing problems. In certain conditions when I am either editing a new email or receiving email, an email in my Drafts folder is Sent without my clicking SEND. No record of the sending exists in the SENT folder but the intended recipient has received it. In a second problem, the Correspondent in a mailbox has been edited to that ALL the email in the mailbox shows that Correspondent being the sender. I claim you have bugs in this release.

I have been using Thunderbird Portable on a laptop for many years. I not longer need the portable feature and I understand that it is slower than the regular Thunderbird. How can I switch to Thunderbird? And I need the method most suitable for 80-year-olds who aren't that computer savvy, please.

I use google search engine. Google is blocking my email account and wants personal identifying info to unblock. One solution recommended is to have my mail data transferred elsewhere. I want to use Thunderbird for my mail. On Thunderbird's download page for Windows 7, an error 404 comes up. Where is the download page? Thanks.

Hello,

So I have Thunderbird which came with my Mint 22 install. My issue is that I imported my contacts (cvs) from Outlook into my personal contact folder. However, when I try to compose an email it can't seem to find the person I'm looking to message. I set my personal folder as default but it still won't work. I love Thunderbird but if it's going to be a problem sending emails then it's useless to me. Can someone please help me with this.

Kind Regards,

Bruce

Last week, all 11 of my Firefox extensions, which I've been using for years, were suddenly disabled. For each I got the same message: "[Extension name] could not be verified for use in Firefox and has been disabled." Following Firefox's instructions, in about:config I switched "extensions.langpacks.signatures.required" to FALSE, restarted my computer, but nothing changed. I tried reinstalling the extension Adblock Plus from Firefox's own list of add-ons, got the message "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt." Any idea what's going on and what I can do?? Thank you.

iMac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan; Firefox version 78.15.0esr (64-bit)

On my Macbook Pro — OS 12.7.6 Monterey, Firefox version 136.0.2 (64-bit) — the same extensions work just fine.

Good morning,

We are seeing that the key "DisableAppUpdate" being set to TRUE in about:policies. Not sure why this setting is being set. The result of the setting is "Updates disabled by your organization". So we cannot manually update firefox and are not sure why the setting is being set.

We used Procmon to capture logs:

Is there anything in Firefox that can trigger the setting of this key?

Hello,

today I have installed new OS and new Firefox.

Because I was syncing everything I thought after login everything will be same as before.

Before reinstaling OS I didnt export anything from Firefox. Now I have no bookmarks, no history, add-ons.

I do keep Lockwise on my iPhone and it connected somehow with my desktop browser so I have passwords in my browser now (thank god for that - otherwise I have no clue how they got there).

Is there a way I can restore Firefox (bookmarks and add-ons) to how it was yesterday?

I dont have firefox install elsewhere, just on my desktop.

Thanks a lot for help

I guess there was an update to Firefox today because everything about my browser was a mess! >:( I have always had the Honey and Pinterest pin it buttons on my toolbar, and they have worked just fine. Now that this nightmare "update" happened, they don't show anymore, even though they are enabled in my settings and all permissions are checked. I am NOT very techy, so please don't reply with a long technical response that requires me to spend an hour trying to fix it. The buttons showed before, so why not now?! Please help! I've cleared cache and cookies, cleared history, everything I can think of and nothing is working. :'( TIA

I *think* I've followed the instructions, but I am unsuccessful in moving Thunderbird Profile to new PC. I copied old profile to external drive. I opened Thunderbird on new PC and found Profile folder. I went up 3 levels and pasted old profile from external drive into folder on new PC. But my old data have not moved. When I go into new Thunderbird and choose "open profile folder", it shows me 3 files: the two that the system created in the new download, plus the old Profile that I pasted there. The new version of Thunderbird uses the "new download" profile as the default. What am I doing wrong? Thanx!

I tried to open Firefox and a message appeared: "Couldn't load XPCOM". I uninstalled the program with Revo Uninstaller Pro and downloaded the latest version. I selected Run as Administrator but there is a message that says "Windows cannot have access to the selected device, path or file. Maybe you don't have access rights". However, I do have access rights. I have checked it multiple times. How can I install Firefox and see it work properly? Thanks

Κατέβασα το Firefox Installer.exe και προσπαθώ να κάνω εγκατάσταση με το Run as Administrator διότι για κάποιον λόγο δεν με αφήνει διαφορετικά, αν και έχω δικαιώματα διαχειριστή. Μου βγάζει όμως ένα παράθυρο το 7-Zip και μου λέει "Δεν επιτρέπεται η πρόσβαση".

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).

Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...

And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.

Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.

So how do I force this update to install?

Yesterday morning I opened my email only to discover that TB had been automatically updated to 115. I did not update it, and I do NOT want 115, it's miserable! How can I safely uninstall 115? TB info shows I'm "currently on the esr channel." what is that and what does it mean? Is the new 128 less awkward? that is, would it be safer to update to 128 than to uninstall 115? Thanks for advice and guidance, Gail

Is there software that will being me (more or less) up to date? I'm pretty much computer illiterate, so keeping it simple would be greatly appreciated. Buying a new iMac and transferring files is a last resort...

I had to reinstall Firefox on laptop B. Initially I copied the profile folder back, as I had a recent backup. However, when I sync'd, it deleted a bunch of extensions - which then sync'd and deleted them from laptop A too.

I got them back (manually) on A, deleted the new installation on B, then reinstalled and resync'd (without copying the profile folder). Same thing happened, except as I wasn't coming from the profile, I'd also lost a bunch of settings. So even worse.

My theory (based on the popup about syncing with a mobile device) is it is, for some reason, syncing with my Android phone config (which doesn't have all the same extensions, as they're not compatible) instead of my browser on A.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions?
