Hello,

My webhost provider switched my domain last week. And Thunderbird is now a complete mess. They combined the names of the two domains and I'm not sure if I delete this email address I'll be in trouble because they've tied it to WordPress. All the pathways and files I've looked at - why I don't know because I don't really understand what I'm seeing - show the old email names and such. I've been pleading and begging for assistance to straighten out this mess, but without success. Also I'm prompted to login but Thunderbird won't recognize either the old ones nor the new ones I've created.

What I'm wondering is should I remove the current install and start again. And, if I start again, are the instructions easy for this poor senior's tech-phobic brain to follow?

(I'm not sure I trust the tech support at my provider since they keep saying I created the blended email address. This is entirely untrue: I created the one I wanted them to have done in the first place... and ended up deleting the contents of the old email in the process! =:o) Thank you, Zoe

Hi, new updates on Version 98.0.1 quite a hassle for me. It auto-download all my files even when I just want to view. Is there any other way to disable this feature? I opened Setting>Download but there is no disable button or checkbox for that. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

Hi Just changed computers and have Thunderbird 102.8.0 64bit installed. All emails present and correct. Trouble is all my addresses are gone. I backed it up from the old computer using MozBackup. I know its old, but not sure how else to do it. Anyhow, although everything else came across from the back up, the email addresses didnt. I thought it might be in my Google account, but that seems to just have all the names but no addresses?? Any ideas??

My job requires me to download and open files in new tabs consistently. However, when I download these files, I don't want the download panel to obscure my vision. Can I disable it?

I did this many years ago on an old PC but don't remember how. I have a new laptop and I'm trying to import my Outlook PST archive to TB. It contains 30 years of important emails. I'm trying to get away from MS's Office - it's become too expensive.

I tried to use TB's tools>import>import from Outlook but I get an error message saying "no profile is found".

Can I do this within TB or do I need a 3rd party app? If so, is there a reliable one?

Thanks in advance.

I keep getting an error message (see uploaded image) that says Thunderbird can't update to the latest version and to download it manually. When I look at the About for Thunderbird, it says it already is the latest version (see uploaded image). So, I ignored that error message the first few times, but when it kept appearing, I downloaded and installed the update (after backing up the Profile folder in case of mishap; see uploaded image). It said it was installing and then the Install box disappeared (it did NOT say "You already have this version" and stop installing); I assumed it had finished (although, it never asked me to do anything, even though the error message implied I'd need help, and I couldn't see any difference in Thunderbird after it finished). Today, I got the error message AGAIN (even though I updated yesterday). What does it want me to do? Is it updated, or not? I'm confused.

My PC had a sudden and total crash just recently and left me no option but to wipe the drive and do a clean install of everything.

After I had put Windows 11 back on plus other software, I reinstalled Thunderbird as well.

However it will only download emails from the reinstallation date and nothing prior.

Any advice on how to rectify this?

Is there perhaps something in SETTINGS that I need to look at?

Hi, I have spent hours this morning trying to diagnose a problem with Firefox Update 115. It is Unstable and I can't Stream Music from Youtube or even Amazon Music. Web pages from sites I use everyday are out of order when displaying text as well. It's a real mess. Now, here's the kicker, I haven't been able to stream my music from both aforementioned websites, but get this, if I use the Incognito Browser, Music streams No Problem. Seems like you guys broke something in the main FF browser. I have spent hours trying to debug this and have concluded that your most recent Update has broken streaming links. I can't rollback the Update and that is even more frustrating. Please Fix This. BTW, your Help Pages really stink. Sorry, but they offer no help when the problem is clearly FF. Kind Regards, Joe White

Hello

I got a new Asus Vivobook Core i9 16G Ram I did the basic Windows 11 installation for the Laptop and installed TotalAV.

After all Windows 11 updates passed, I wanted to install FireFox anf got this issue: Firefox cannot start correctly (0xc0000022) after version ..

I tried several time to close all Firefox task, uninstall, remove all files from existing profiles (local, roaming, etc...) so as all files under "Programs"". I made sure to get the latest code, but I always get back to this issue.

While opening FireFox, I immediatly get a Crashed Tab reported. Even the Settings are not opening in a Tab.

I even tried to use a older version. Same issue... Never the less I can Update the older version in "About FireFox".

After update I see 122 installed

I used FireFox for many years, and wanted to continue.. In the meantime I installed Opera

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance Laurent

I cannot complete the integration of my working Gmail account with an established Thunderbird (V.102 in Win10 on PC). It may to be a problem in setup?

My Tbird works with an IMAP waitrose.com (inherited) address supported by my plus.net provider - who is closing all email provision on 30 June. I am assuming once Gmail is operable, I will ensure that everything is backed-up then convert waitrose.com to POP until it is withdrawn (unilaterally), leaving my existing folder-set as history - unless you have any comment on this approach?.

Not having found a sufficiently clear step-solution to adding Gmail, despite searches on Mozzilla Support and a most explanitory report on 'Recovery & Management - How To Import or Export Gmail Email To Thunderbird - https://www.recoveryandmanagement.com/export-gmail-email-to-thunderbird/ - I would like to ask if you might recognise and solve the following for me:

I have progresed to Account Settings - Account Actions - Add Email Account - and entered my Gmail username + addtess@gmail.com (I also tried phone number) + password. Which (after selecting 'Done') failed with the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, user name or password". I can confirm my 'Name' and/or 'Phone', by successfully opening Gmail (which is also on my desktop).

The Configurations selected are: IMAP, Incoming - IMAP - SSL/TLS - imap.gmail and Outgoing - SMTP - SSL/TLS - smtp.gmail.com, Username - 'name'@gmail.com. There is also a 'Configue manually' option available. I kept a couple of screen-shots recording progress should they be helpful.

Thanks for your time on this.

I got a new computer so I created an acct and set all my open tabs and history to sync. It wasn't intuitive to my not techie brain, but found out how to open all the tabs on the new computer. However, they don't open in the same order (makes it almost useless when you have a lot of tabs), and the tabs don't have their associated history.

Is there some way to have Firefox open tabs and history in the same state on the new device?

Can I transfer my existing Firefox profile on the Windows 7 machine to a new installation on a new Win10Pro machine by copying the profile from the "AppData" location onto a pen drive, and then copying that into the comparable folder in the new machine.

I assume if I can I will then need to make the copied profile the default one using profile manager?

New windows 11 computer. Set up Thunderbird with gmail account and I can send and receive emails. however, when I tried to find the profile folder, I noticed there is no Thunderbird folder in the Roaming folder. I can not find it anywhere.

TIA , Windows 11 Oops... Going from TBird Portable to Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit) SuperNova I accidentally ended up with Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit) SuperNova , (TBS). And I notice there is an entry in 'Installed Apps' for Mozilla Thunderbird (x86 en-US) But when I look in C:\Program Files (x86) there is no Entry for TB . Moving on ... TB Portable has Folders for 'App' 'Data' 'Other' TB Supernova (TBS) has no such Folders . And Looks Like I'll have to re-Build all my email accounts (10) .

How to proceed? : Shall I unInstall 'Installed Apps' for Mozilla Thunderbird (x86 en-US) I do have a Backup for: TB Portable has Folders for 'App' 'Data' 'Other'

My wife has an older Mac. About a week ago, a pop-up from Firefox told her to update her program. She loaded in the new one and when she tried to open it she got the message that her computer was too old for the update.

We had to reload the most recent update which had been running on her computer.

Now, none of her bookmarks show up and the bookmark toolbar will not display near the top of the screen as it used to.

None of help items online are of any use because what they say will show up on the screen (such as when you enter "about:profiles") is not what shows up on her screen.

Is there any way to recover her bookmarks, passwords and other saved data, please?

i made a new,local windows 11 account coz there were some problems with windows in the current account. how can i transfer all -settings, local folders etc from this current account to the new one? in this new one account tb is installed and has connection to my provider.

How do I move all my message filters and address books from my Windows desktop PC to my Windows laptop?

I have three email accounts and ten address books. (The message filters use the address books to sort messages into folders.)

There are a bunch of abook* files in the root directory of the profile. Is it sufficient to move these to the laptop, or are they indexed somewhere?

There are msgFilterRules.dat files in many subfolders of Mail and ImapMail. Is it sufficient to move all of these into the corresponding folders on the laptop?

Is there an easier way to do either of these?

It's not true! Clicking on the close thunderbird button in the error message does nothing, I've uninstalled, reinstalled rebooted. I've had this laptop 3 days, do I need to To go back to factory settings on this laptop.
