Am setting up wife's new computer. Windows 11 (not S mode). Made several attempts to download T-bird desktop but got no file. Even made a donation and still got no file. Tried to get the download on my Win 11 computer and got no file. I saw here that others with this problem were told to look for a small download box in the upper right corner of the screen and one responder provided a graphic. I looked but did not see the box.

this week I changed my Google Password and using Google, I can not access my Mozilla any longer to download it. It will download but when I want to finish it comes up with a screen as if Mozilla is broken. It lies within my Google new password I am sure, but I dont know how to fix it.

Hello,

I received a new laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 and I'm trying to install Thunderbird. I have tried snap, flatpack, the downloaded package and nothing works. The only one that worked so far is https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/08/install-thunderbird-deb-not-snap-in-ubuntu-24-04 but this results in a different (?) thunderbird being installed, thunderbird-esr and there is no icon in the dock and I cannot pin it in the dock, which is a bit annoying. I saw there are other people having the same issue as me https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/cannot-install-thunderbird-because-it-is-not-allowed-by-dot-thunderbird-plug-rule/28878/13 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1538919/ubuntu-24-02-error-installing-thunderbird

The command `$sudo snap install thunderbird` gives the following error `error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Mount snap "thunderbird" (609) (installation not allowed by "dot-thunderbird" plug rule of interface "personal-files" for "thunderbird" snap)`

I also tried various commands offered in response to the questions linked above `$snap connections thunderbird` returns `error: snap "thunderbird" not found`

`$snap interfaces | grep personal` returns `119::personal-files firefox:dot-mozilla-firefox 'snap interfaces' is deprecated; use 'snap connections'.`

`$snap version` returns `snap 2.67 snapd 2.67 series 16 ubuntu 24.04 kernel 6.8.0-51-generic`

`$snap list --all thunderbird` returns `error: no matching snaps installed`

I also tried via the Ubuntu "App Center" and the Install button just keeps coming back. I expect it's running into the same error I have via the terminal and doesn't give any feedback in the graphic interface.

Please let me know what I must do to install Thunderbird via snap.

Thank you, Caroline

I've been writing you about this for weeks! I cannot download an install to fix my years used Thunderbird. I always attempt a download from your site and it always gives the same error message: "Thunderbird 137.0.1-4 corrupt image"

I even took it to an IT repair shop and they got the same non-result. I need to repair/replace my old Thunderbird.

C-attached error message image plus my iMac OS info. There MUST be some way to successfully download a replacement. Please advise.

Hi, I've successfully downloaded and installed Firefox on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and now attempting to download and install the Thunderbird email client. On Thunderbird.net when I click the Download button, the Donation Page pops up (and I made a donation) then closed that window. I'm then on the Thank You page but there is no prompt to install, so just stuck on the Thank You page. Thunderbird is not appearing in my downloads file. Can you please help?

I am a very long term Thunderbird user with gigabytes of historical emails w/attachments currently running esr 115 on my primary Windows 11 (upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 to Windows 11) workstation. I need to migrate to a newer host which also runs Windows 11, so I installed release 144 over the weekend to get prepared for the migration. I know that the basic rule is that the From and To Thunderbird apps must be running the same version, but out of an abundance of caution, I would like to do that at the version of the production system which is on ESR at version 128.5.2. The download page is only offering a 140.something on the esr channel. Is there anyway to get 128.5.2 to accomplish the migration?

Today when I logged onto my MacBook I found that my Thunderbird desktop application is corrupt. When I attempt to open it states "You can’t open the application “Thunderbird” because it may be damaged or incomplete." Screen shots included.

I last used TB with no issues on Oct 27th.

I have over 20 years of TB emails that I do not want to loose.

I have backed up my profiles folders (there are 3) from >Go>Library>Thunderbird>Profiles

My first question is that I thought there were multiple locations of profiles. One for local. But I can only find the above profile.

My second question is how to I go about re-installing? Should I remove the corrupt application first and and then reinstall? What steps should I take?

Thank you!

I have a problem with the 64-bit to 32-bit installation. (It created a duplicate for me), I uninstalled everything properly and reinstalled Today my computer does not recognize version 32 in default mode and I need it for my accounting software. We checked the registry keys, the settings ... everything is ok Thanks for your help.

I've noticed that I've got both the 32 bit (../Program Files (86)/..) and 64 bit versions (../Program Files/..) of Firefox installed on my pc. I didn't install both and both appear to be the current version. Is this normal behaviour? Only one instance appears in add/remove programs, but if I go to default apps, Firefox appears twice (presumably the 32 & 64 bit versions). If this is not normal, does anyone have a suggestion as to how to remove the 32 bit version without damaging the 64 bit one?
