My laptop died but I have been able to rescue the SSD and turn it into a USB connected external drive. I can see all data from my old PC.

I have tried to copy all of my User, Local Apps Data Mozilla Profile data folders to my new Laptop but the data does not appear when I fire up Firefox on the new laptop.

The old laptop folder was c:\Users|Phil, the new laptop is C:\Users\Phill {setup of new PC added a second L to my name}

Is this an issue ?

I had a functioning thunderbird, but do to my host provider I had to change some of the configuration (had (owl) suffix). This left 2 profiles. The new profile wouldn't work until I deleted the original. I did a save so I have all the files, now which ones need to be restored. ( a full file backup prior to adding new profile so all org profile files are available)

A profile directory displays all of the folders, 2 files for each folder a MSF and an MBX. Some also have a file type of File.

Which has to be copied, will the folders be created with the copy or do I need to create them in thunderbird first ?

I have a problem with the import of my b/u profile into new install of tBird. I see the mail folder copied to my C:/, but I can't pull anything up in the new install. I let TBird accept the default of imap, and now find the mail:Local folders may be in POP. Is that why I can't pull them up in the program? If so, do I change the program from imap to Pop3, or is there some other way to get the old mail into right place. I'm sorry I've confused, been working on this all day and it's really a stretch for me. Thanks in advance. Stacy

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.

Why has this started up again? Pdf files are automatically downloading to my computer when all I want to do is look at the file. So many files that now need to be trashed after looking at them. This problem has happened in the past, but was resolved, only now I am finding it happen again. I do not want to have files saved unless I want to save them, not Firefox deciding that any file I open should be saved. I have Windows 11 & Firefox Version 113.0.1. Is there a way to revert to an older version of Firefox?

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.

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
