Thunderbird kept crashing, so I tried reinstalling. When I did, I was told to agree to an upgrade. I did. But now, it can't configure my account, and I've lost everything. Using a Windows 11 PC desktop. Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago when trying to send messages ended up crashing Thunderbird if I used the enter key.

Telstra are changing me to fibre to my home (currently copper to home). In the process they have removed Thunderbird and introduced Telstra web mail which I do not want. But, I do not know have to re-install Thunderbird on my desktop. I need some help as my knowledge is more in keeping with 1940's to 1970's technology. Hope you can help Bob

Hello,

I am writing this question concerning the new Thunderbird notification I received recently, prompting me to update to the Release Channel. Since I installed the client from the Microsoft Store, will it get automatically updated to the previous channel or will I have to do it manually? If I am not mistaken, to move between channels you need to do it yourself. How will this work with the Store version?

Thank you for your time.

You have invited me to download a new version of Firefox.

So What do I do with my existing Firefox?

If I don't like it, can I go back?

Please let me know.

Hallo und guten Tag, auf meinem Desktop habe ich seit einigen Tagen einen neuen Ordner mit der Bezeichnung - Alte Firefox-Daten - . Ich kann den Ordner leider nicht löschen. Alle Versuche sind bisher gescheitert.

Habe Mozilla Firefox schon 2-mal deinstalliert etc. Der besagte Ordner lässt sich trotzdem nicht löschen.

Angeblich wegen fehlender Berechtigung. Was kann ich machen?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

My C hard drive is almost full. How can I get Firefox to run from the D drive? I tried copying the files there but it would not run. Do I need to edit something in the Registry? I'm using (for as long as I can) Win 10 on a Dell desktop. Latest version of Firefox is installed.

Thanks for any assistance.

Since the Sequoia install on my Mac I have had many issues. Most of them involve getting logged in to sites I use frequently. Yesterday and today I was unable to load the most recent firefox update and then the most recent thunderbird update. The wheel keeps spinning but nothing actually happens.

bold textH Have been unable to reactivate my Thunderbird email system! Please help me reactivate it.

Thank you.

Just updated to 139.0.1 and got a surprise. My New Tab Favorites Icons now have Push Pins in their upper left corners, leaving less space for the icons, so of course my icons are now smaller than before. Why do the people maintaining the system at Mozilla keep messing with the New Tabs? Last time, they thought they needed to include a large image of the Firefox icon, again shrinking the remaining screen real estate for my icons. That got fixed. Now they decided each favorite icon needs a rather large push pin to indicate that it belongs there. Somebody thought this would be a good idea? Why can't they just leave it alone?

I'm posting two screenshot images of my New Tab screen. You will know which is before and which is after.

The TB Solutions only provide information for a tar "bz2" file. I downloaded a "xz" file (thunderbird-140.0.tar.xz), how do I install this?

Thanks for any help or solution.

I wish to update my current version of 128.12.0esr within my Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS OS.

I am running Version 128.10.1esr on Ubuntu Mate for RPI 5, do I need to change anything to update Thunderbird software channel, or I simply uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird will do, I don't need to backup.

Since the latest Firefox update, the color of the letters appears black on a gray background, making them invisible. How can I change the colors of the bookmarks sidebar? Thanks in advance.

Hi I'm using two PC's, both have Thunderbird on. However, PC1 has version 128.10.2 esr PC2 has version 138.0.2 (64 bit)

Does that matter? What is the difference?

The other day I received an email from Mozilla suggesting I move from Thunderbird ESR to the Release version (Windows 11). I backed up my profile and installed Release 139.0.2. The following error is now popping up periodically in Thunderbird: "The folder 'Inbox on [myemailaddress]' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

I do not think this message is really related to disk space (there's plenty available) or file write privileges since nothing should have changed. I see that others have encountered this message where Thunderbird is trying to compact other folders. However, I did not see a solution applicable to my situation.

Thank you, in advance, for any insight in getting rid of this error.

Hello. Why doesn't Fiery Fox release a portable version of the browser? What if everything was in one folder and didn’t shit throughout the entire system?

We kindly ask you to start releasing a portable version.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best wishes.

I have been using Thunderbird email for more than 10 years. Today, I received a notice recommending that I make specific changes or updates to my account. I do not have the skill to make these changes (I can't even find the message again). My question is, will I continue to be able to use this service if I don't make the changes?

Thank you
