When I open the settings in Firefox on my chromebook, I don't have a option to import data at all. It's just missing. I keep looking up how to do it, and it keeps telling me to go to settings, under general find the import data, and select chrome. But there is no import button at all.

I changed operating system from Win 10 to Linux. Can I import the file or files from my Firefox on Win 10 to my Firefox on Linux? If so, where can I find them on the windows drv and what is the file called? Thanks for your help Ray

I have a new windows 11 laptop. Transferring from a windows 10 laptop. I have installed Thunderbird on new machine. It is also my email on old machine. I have clicked on import within Thunderbird. The instruction is to go to C:/Users/myusername/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/b4553kng.default NB I can't find backslash on my keyboard, so I'm using / When I look in myusername, there is no folder called AppData There is a folder called Roaming, but it just has folders Intel/Wireless, which is empty. In C: Program Files, there is a folder called Mozilla Thunderbird, but it has no folder called Profiles. I have seached C: for any folder called AppData, but no results. Can anyone help?

Hello, I'm getting a new PC next week and I am concerned how to install Thunderbird in the new PC. And is there anything I need to do in the old PC to make the move smooth so it continues to work.

Thank you for your time and efforts ahead of time.

I just installed Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS to an old computer and I want to export my profiles and contacts from my other Windows computer Thunderbird, over to the new Linux version of Thunderbird. I suppose the other option is to re-import from Gmail contacts. Please advise. As others migrate from Windows to Linux this could be a common question.

I've saved my thunderbird data from Win10 computer following the instructions but when I copy the file to the new computer win11 it doesn't seem to work I'm not sure whats happening. The process I followed is install thunderbird, go to help menu, trouble shooting , open file (profile), close thunderbird, go up 3 levels to roaming, then paste the copied file in the thunderbird file and close. then open thunderbird. It still wants me to set my account up and there is no data. Is there something I'm missing. Thanks for any help in advance. Cheers Stuart

I cannot find anywhere on my Firefox browser where I can export my personal bookmarks to another browser (Duck, Duck go). I do not like the most recent Firefox update, changing my everything Firefox!

How do you export your passwords from Firefox into Thunderbird, or get Thunderbird to import them? If Thunderbird can actually save all the passwords, there must be a way to do it. I tried various wording in asking the site for answers, but received zero hits on this particular subject. Thank you for any assistance in this matter.

I have no idea what passwords from . csv.files are or where to find them on my Asus LinuxMint laptop?

 The only password and username that i entered into my LinuxLaptop  are the only usernames and passwords

that I've entered into my new computer. I've also entered my google Chrome username and password to set up my Thunderbird email service. I never wanted to sync all my usernames and passwords in my Acer laptop computer because I felt that that made it too simple for a hacker to access all of my personal Information and access to accounts. Mozilla Firefox wants a password for csv files or tsv files or HTML files ? I don' know what any of these files are or where to go to to find them or the passwords for these files. I just want to successfully transfer all of my Favorates folders and files then all my Documents and picture files to my new computer. I'm a Photography artist, Graphic Designer,abstract painter, and creative writer. I can't move forward in my creative pursuits without completing these tasks. Thanks very much for your help and information. I'm soon to be 80 years old and not a very good keypuncher on a computer. I'm happy to leave Microsoft Windows and Google behind but Linux Mint is all new to me.

I copied my home page from my old installation to another (new computer) - yadda.htm

I found out that the bookmarks toolbar is Installation Specific (boo) and that the export/import process on Firefox for the toolbar (according to Google) is hidden, convoluted. and a complete enigma (to me - can't be easy for anybody, really)

Could you please tell me how I can add to my new bookmarks toolbar from my old browser/installation without having to recreate them from scratch at my new installation?

Thank you.
