Hello. I'm a Windows 10 user and I have upgraded from Thunderbird 78 to 91 and now the "notification icon" in taskbar (or app badge) does not appear for new mail that are first filtered and put in folders. It only appears when new mail arrives in Inbox. I have not had that issue with the 78 version. Is there a fix for this or should I uninstall 91 and clean reinstall the 78?

The upgrade was made by installing 91 version "over" the 78 version (not a clean install, I may say). Could that be the problem? (I don't need assumptions, I need solutions)

Thanks.

Through Queens College, I have an Office 365 account in which I used a week and a half ago to make power points and now the power points will not download so I can not submit work I already did for my classes. It says that the page is not secure and has access to personal things about me... like what is going on????? HELP PLEASE!!

Information on your download page (desktop, Windows) is obscured by floating popup prompting one to download Firefox! Why have any information at all, then? Why not just have a blank page with a download button? As in, if you don't already know all about Firefox, then you don't want it? But maybe I want information about a browser before I download it -- you tantalize me with fragments but you don't let me see it. WTF! There are already download buttons on the landing page. Maybe you don't want to frustrate people so that they give up on Firefox because they don't trust ANYBODY WHO CAN'T DESIGN A DOWNLOAD PAGE THAT IS ACTUALLY READABLE!

So every time I download 91.1.0 from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr The MD5 hash changes. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong... because I'm pretty sure it's my misunderstanding.

Everything was working until I updated to 91.1.1. Verizon, Gmail, and Yahoo all worked and but can not send email with any of them but can receive email with them

When I used the email configuration tool with 91.1.1, I could not complete because i got message 'INCOMING SERVER ALREADY EXISTS" Also got message "OUTGOING SERVER ALREADY EXISTS." I deleted settings for both and eventually deleted the whole pop and SMTP entries to no avail.

I eventually deleted my entire Verizon account losing emails and address books. I made the outgoing servers the defaults for the email accounts e,g, Verizon, gmail, yahoo in various configurations to but to avail. I initially had this problem with THUNDERBIRD 78 though that eventually cured itself.

Note emails set up as POP accounts. I have up to date Windows 10

I have looked at the FAQ for this subject and I suspect I am out of luck. I believe Tbird automatically backs up data and stores it in a "profile" file. As I was trying to save documents etc. on my old PC with a view to selling it I encountered a serious problem which caused me to take it in for repair. The shop reported a damaged drive and have saved whatever data they could before returning the old hard drive. I now have a new PC, have installed TBird from the internet but as I was not able to save the original profile, I have lost all of the folders with saved emails. Is there any way to recover that information? Presumably it's still saved somewhere under my profile? I would be grateful for any advice about that.

everyday when i get on my mac, Firefox acts as if I just installed it. I have to do the import of favorites and such.....sometimes it happens more then once on the same day, like if if it sets for a few hours it closes out. when I open it back up its like a new install.... Any ideas

Have new HP AIO. Came with Chrome. First thing I did was delete Chrome. Went to Firefox. I love Firefox. Attempted to download. Blue status bar never completes. Checked in MS settings to allow all apps. Firefox button opens an empty browser window. Nothing works here. Thank You/Mike Owens

Firefox Nightly cannot be found in the 'Software' store, so probably the only way to download it is by going to the website and getting a tar.bz2 file. I got that, extrated it and placed it in the/opt folder, made an application shortcut, added an icon, and now it's working like a normal app. The problem arises when it tries to auto-update. Firefox Nightly updates very frequently, sometimes more than once per day, and on windows, I used to get a notification saying that a new update is released, and if i wanted to install it. Clicking yes, Firefox would update and restart within moments, and restore all my tabs and windows seamlessly. Here on Linux, I have to manually download the new tar.bz2 file, extract it, replace it in the specified folder, and launch Firefox Nightly again, and again and again usually once per every alternate day, whenever the new update comes. Is there a solution for this? Will Firefox someday release a .deb file for easy installation and updates? My PC : Dell Optiplex 3070 OS : Zorin OS 16 Core (based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

Greetings,

Thunderbird recently updated from 78 to 91 but, when as I was reading the release notes, it states:

"Thunderbird 91 is only offered as direct download from thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 78 or earlier. A future release will provide updates from earlier versions.".

Not to sound paranoid but I didn't do a direct download from the site and just manually checked if there was an update via; Help > About > manual update option and it updated to the latest version as of this writing. I found out only after updating then reading the release notes.

My question is, has that "future release" been released so that Thunderbird auto updates from 78 to 91 and the release notes just hasn't been updated?

I have had this issue before and uninstalling and reinstalling has fixed it in the past. Today when I opened firefox it prompted me to update , which I did without thinking. Subsequently, it stopped working. I have tried: restarting my PC, running in troubleshooting mode( it wouldn't even open when I tried this), uninstalling and reinstalling using the internet installer, uninstalling and reinstalling using the offline installer ( tried on multiple hard drives, so I don't think hardware failure is the issue), installing an older version of fire fox, and installing the 32 bit version instead of the 64 bit version. The attached images show what displays upon trying to launch firefox. nothing loads, not typing an address into the search bar, not clicking on a bookmark, the only UI element that will display is the 3 horizontal line setting menu.

So I have copped a issue with mozilla a weird crash.

so I did the whole just uninstall thing. Hoping a reinstall will fix what ever was causing it to not open up.

No I did not look for help.Here. So on reinstall it states. Missing profile not accessible

I have read all the help stuff. None of it makes any sense. I am not an IT person. I fix cars I use my hands. And I like watching You tube and porn.

So why can't this be a simple reinstall. why does it keep looking for a profile folder. I got no idea where it would be ?

I am going to guess either - burn the computer. Or hire a IT specialist.

I like Mozilla it seemed to work better than the rest.

Why does it need a profile? Why Can't I start fresh?

I've succeeded (with a lot of outside help - thank you Which?) in transferring my TB profile following the replacement of my HDD with an SSD. Now I'm stuck again, trying to transfer my address book from my saved back-up into the newly-installed copy of TB .

I have followed the clear instructions on this site regarding the need to export the address books as an LDIF file. But when I have selected this format in the box at the bottom of the AB page, and pressed 'Save', I cannot then find the saved file to transfer it to a thumb drive to install it into the fresh copy of TB. Where is it, for goodness sake? What am I missing (apart from a digital brain, of course)?

When I installed version 91 of Thunderbird a lot of the accounts I have in version 78 did not get imported into version 91. Is there a way I can get the remaining accounts transferred? Where can I find information on how to do this? Thanks.
