Purchased a new laptop to replace an aging desktop. Pulled harddrive out of desktop, attached as an external drive (F:) to the laptop. Mistakenly (apparently) thought I could just run TB from there. Went to F:, tried opening TB. It popped up the Create Account box. Closed that. Opened TB on the laptop (C:). Created account there. It downloaded new email, but I had no old email. So I tried moving the profile from F: to C:. Profile name is now there, but I still have none of my old info. No old mail, folders, etc.

Am I screwed here? Did just opening TB on the F: drive overwrite my original profile?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

How do I get T'bird to automatically transfer emails from a particular sender to a folder I have created. I've been dragging and dropping these emails and would like them to move them automatically. Thanks for your help.

In the recent update, there is a new feature which allowed people to view pdf directly in the browser rather than downloading it. Ever since this was implemented, I am not able to download any pdf, instead it keeps opening up the pdf in another tab which is not what I'm trying to do. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello everyone,

I have a very weird behaviour with one of my Apple MacBook Pro M1 (2020) with macOS 13.3.1 and Firefox. After removing Firefox (trash + remainings in /Library and ~/Library), Firefox is gone... until I reboot. It then reinstalls automatically!

One weird thing I see in Disk Utility is an "Apple UDIF read-only compressed (bzip2) Media" that I cannot delete because it's in currently in use (see screen shots attached).

I can also see it in with diskutil list:

/dev/disk5 (disk image):

  #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
  0:     Apple_partition_scheme                        +391.2 MB   disk5
  1:        Apple_partition_map                         32.3 KB    disk5s1
  2:         Apple_Driver_ATAPI                         4.1 KB     disk5s2
  3:                 Apple_HFSX Firefox                 391.1 MB   disk5s3

There is no dmg file attached to it, I have no idea where it comes from.

My question is: how can I uninstall Firefox on this computer?

Thank you for any help, Panda

Download an APK file you want to install in the IPA format. Install Cydia Impactor to sign in to your Apple account to use the IPA file. Connect your iPhone using either a Windows or a macOS. Now launch the Cydia Impactor application.

I want to import an OPML file with RSS feeds into Thunderbird. However, the option to import feeds is not shown under Tools -> Import as your site says it should be (see the screenshot). There also is no Import option shown when I select the RSS account. I am using Thunderbird 102 on Windows 11.

I'm trying to install Firefox on a Chromebook. I've done this successfully before. Using the instructions in the Mozilla page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/run-firefox-chromeos?utm_source=www.mozilla.org-firefox-browsers-chromebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=seo#w_installing-the-firefox-desktop-browser-with-flatpak

But the command in the terminal window sudo bash -c "$(curl -fsS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mozilla/sumo-kb/main/run-firefox-chromeos/install-flatpak.sh)"

Is giving me the error message curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

Any advice would be appreciated! This is a fresh ChromeOS environment since I just did a factory reset so everything should be clean, and with latest OS version.

Thanks

Is it possible to run one instance of Thunderbird on a single PC and connect to two different POP servers concurrently please?

Our ISP is dropping web hosting and we have one email address that uses the hosted server address (eg neddie@goonshow.com.au) and the other the address of the host ISP (seagoon@isp.com.au). We'd like to maintain both addresses as they've been in use for a long time but have to move the web site & it's address to a new host. (we need POP because my wife needs to keep all her emails for at least ten years to meet her professional body's requirements).

Searching online gets all sorts of conflicting answers so I hope the community can provide a definitive answer. Thanks, mike

At some point every night, my Firefox (and only Firefox) reverts to version 111 from the latest version. This happens on 2 different Windows 11 machines.

I can only get Firefox to run again by running from command prompt with "-allow-downgrade" option and then updating again.

I usually don't notice until I launch Firefox the following morning and it gives me a message that the profile was created with an older version and to exit or create a new profile.

I've had Firefox open and then it reverts and it gives me a XULRunner error about the profile being used by an older version.

I don't have any special backup or restore software running and the physical files in my Firefox folder in c:\program files\mozilla firefox are being physically pushed to a prior version dated 3/21/2023.

On both machines, I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled and it's good for a day and then reverts.

No log entries for the reversion can be found. It's just back to a prior version.

I've never come across anything like this before and have scanned for any malware or other issue, but haven't found anything.

Running macOS 13.3.1

Just upgrade to Thunderbird 102.10.1 from Thunderbird 102.10.0 TB will now only part open - keeps getting stuck. I have a couple of 365 accounts in it. Downloaded Thunderbird 102.10.0 and copied over to try and revert but still the same issue.

Folder pane opens but not preview pane and then it locks up - have to force quit.

Any ideas? thanks Carl

Can i make a copy Mozilla Firefox folder to another device. I have upgraded to new operating system and just copy the Firefox folder file from latest windows to newest windows. Thank you.

I've moved Thunderbird several times with no problem transferring saved emails but I am now stymied. For years, I saved them in Documents/Thunderbird for easy backup with SyncToy. I am finally transitioning from laptop running Windows 7 to another laptop running Windows 10. The Windows 10 laptop previously had a hard drive failure and since it was mostly used for web browsing at that time, we replaced it with a small 128 GB drive so I store all files on external drive.

First issue: last May I set up fresh Thunderbird folder, renaming the bulky previous folder and didn't find out until last week that both folders stopped saving to the Thunderbird folder 5/22/2022, almost a year ago. Today is 5/08/2023.

Resulting in related issue on Windows 10 laptop: When I started dragging new emails into local folders, I found that no Local Folder has a date more recent than 5/22/2022. Went back to Windows 7 laptop and all the recently saved emails are in Local Folders.

When checking storage, Windows 7 showed as being in C:\Users\Name\AppData\Thunderbird\Roaming\Profiles\ default I'm guessing it was inadvertently changed. So I made new folder syncing the AppData folder with the Documents/Thunderbird folder and copied it to the Windows 10 AppData Thunderbird folder, then set it as the local storage folder. STILL have no recently saved emails in Local Folders. I went back and followed the instructions on this link as well: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

I've synced and copied several sets of folders to no avail. I KNOW the emails exist on the Windows 7 laptop but I cannot find where or how to save or transfer emails from May 2022 to May 2023. What am I missing?

One thing I can't quite understand is that Account Settings\ Copies & Folders archives options shows Local Folders on drop down list also showing archives on the 3 email accounts I download into Thunderbird but it will NOT let me choose Local Folders. None are grayed out but the Local option is simply not allowed. This is true on both laptops.

Thanks in advance for any help in something that is normally so easy. Anne J

When I try and import my contacts from Outlook 2016 via a .csv, Thunderbird does not show an option for primary email. The result is that it imports all the info EXCEPT the primary email.

What am I missing here (except, of course, I'm missing the option for importing the primary email!).

Thank you.

My main laptop is going into repair. It seems it's still running 32-bit version 102.11.0 Backup laptop is running 64-bit version of the same version Tried copying profile, got the couldn't read profile popup Tried importing, that succeeded, but files are missing. For example, source inbox has 14 emails, destination had 9. I'm assuming that this is a 32-bit/64-bit issue. But before I do something stupid, I want to check in with the group. My thinking is to back-up the Thunderbird folder where the profile is located on my source PC and then upgrade to the 64-bit version. My concerns are: 1-Not sure why I'm still running 32-bit and didn't automatically update to 64-bit 2-Exactly how to do this (just download and install the 64-bit)? But will that happen using Thunderbird Setup 102.11.0.exe, even though the same version is installed. 3-I won't be able to open my profile on any version of Thunderbird.

I was having trouble receiving emails and I couldn't work out the problem. I deleted my mail account and re-added it. Now all my folders are gone. I can see them in my profile, but can't work out how to get them back into Thunderbird mail. Please help

HI! I've been trying to install Firefox on my new Acer Chromebook by following this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/run-firefox-chromeos. However, whenever i get to the last step, it says "no remote refs found similar to firefox". I have no idea what i'm doing at this point, any help?
