A friendly hello to whomever is kind enough to read this! Your help is greatly appreciated!

The latest update caused an edit I made to my Profile's userChrome.css file to be nullified. Now there's huge bar where the tabs toolbar used to be, and apparently it's not the title bar, as when I activate the title bar in "Customize Toolbar," this huge gets replaced by the actual toolbar.

I've attached my css code below for inspection. It used to work perfectly, but after the last update (133.0) it's no longer working. What can I do to fix this and have it like I had it prior to the latest update (133.0)?

userChrome.css File: `#main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {

 opacity: 0;
 pointer-events: none;

}

1. main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {

   visibility: collapse !important;

}

1. main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar .titlebar-spacer {

       border-inline-end: none;

}

/* Adding empty space for buttons */

1. nav-bar {

margin-right:140px; }

/* 15px for dragging whole window by mouse*/

1. titlebar {

appearance: none !important; height: 15px; }

/* Fix for main menu calling by Alt button */

1. titlebar > #toolbar-menubar {

margin-top: 10px; }

/* Move minimize/restore/close buttons to empty space */

1. TabsToolbar > .titlebar-buttonbox-container {

display: block; position: absolute; top: 17px; right: 1px; }

1. sidebar-box {

 min-width: 250px !important;

}`

I have a custom pitch black theme ( pls add it without addons ) which now only flashes for a second when i open the browser and returns to the normal greyish dark mode. When i go to Firefox Color addon page and load it again in saved themes it stays pitchblack even if i open another browser window until i close all the browser windows .

Currently on 131.0.3. Started having this issue around the time 131 dropped.

I press Ctrl-shift-O and bookmarks manager won't open. Bookmarks manager opens normally if I use the menu to open it. Keybind won't work in troubleshooting mode so I know it's not an addon, and the hotkey works fine on other computers with Sync enabled so I know it doesn't have to do with my synchronized settings. Also won't open with a fresh profile so I am very hesitant to reset all my settings.

I use this keybind multiple times per browsing session so it has had a major impact on my usage. Not sure what to do. Please help!

I'm going to try a graphics driver update in the hope that helps. This is on Windows btw.

I am trying to upgrade from ESR to Release. I saved my profile successfully, went to the install page and clicked Download. Got a request to donate, which I did. Then I got a page saying Thank you, Finish installing and enjoy Thunderbird. But there is no way to finish installing and I never got a download file. I've tried multiple times, nothing happens. Help!

First of all, I love your product. Have used it for many years.On a club computer trying to put it on my computer and it is endless checking passwords. No matter what I try when installing my yahoo in my or my gmail account

It has verified it with both email providers. The provider show the thunderbird is being used as a client. I have tried this with the email password and without no matter what I do I cannot get past this problem. I have windows ten

I have long had an ESR version (140.1.1) on my Win11, for which I had selected all the defaults from the installer around a year ago.

I followed [instructions] to migrate to the Release version (141.0).

I imported the same profile as that exported by the ESR version.

ISSUE: Now I have 2 separate installations of Thunderbird as shown in Windows "Apps" panel, the old and the new one. Both are 64 bit. Each holds its' own versions of my folders and synchronizes separately.

QUESTION: What's the best way to resolve this? I only want the Release version, but fear a process (that I imagine on my own) which will damage one or both. Such is my luck with these matters.

Thanks in advance, AL

Been using TB for about 10 years. My last upgrade was to ver 52.9.0. in 2018. Since, I have clicked the upgrade button a few times. I do not know what ver I was running before my accidental upgrade to 115.16.2 a couple days ago. This ver is terrible. I want to go back to my previous ver, but not sure what it was.

So a month ago I did a win 10 backup to my external drive. Not sure how to just restore TB on win 10 backup. Also, I weekly copy my profile to a thumb drive.

1. Where is that ver number located in the copied profile so I know what ver I was running? And if I find it can I just uninstall TB and all files/profile and reinstall that version; then import my copied profile without losing 10 years of mail?

I'm running for quite a time Thunderbird on Windows up to Win11 without any problem. For about 3 years I'm using the same TB profile in dual boot environment with Linux Mint (v21 until last week and now version 22). I understood why I didn't get access from Linux side after the latest TB update in Windows as obviously the file structure and other things had changed to make it incompatible to elder versions.

However, as Linux is now my normal working environment, I've tried it again after upgraded my system to Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon 6.2.9 , kernel 6.8.0-44-generic and failed again, having the same error message when starting the profile: "Thunderbird is already running, but not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing process, restart your device, ore use a different profile. "sudo killall Thunderbird" didn't find a running process.

I've tried importing everything in a new profile, which worked (more or less), but failed with all attempts getting access to my local profile. A local profile appears after importing but contains no data, trying to import its data separately doesn't trigger any error message when just ticking "E-Mail", but nothing is imported. When ticking "E-Mail" and "Settings", I'm getting a red alert that asks me to look into the error console which doesn't help either.

What can I do ????

I am told that when FireFox closes it is supposed to delete a file called parent.lock in FireFox's Profile Folder. The parent.lock file does not delete when I close FireFox and consequentially it will not allow me to open a new instance of FireFox. If what I say is in fact true, what can I do to fix it? If what I say isn't the case, what can I do to make FireFox open a new instance of FireFox once I close it.

I sure hope I have explained this so it can be understood. When I close FF and then try to open it again, I get a dialog box saying FF is already open and has to close first. Not sure if those are the exact words but I was told that the parent.lock was to be deleted and that isn't happening. What can I do? Thanks.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I need your help.

My Thunderbird shortcut no longer opens. The shortcut C:/Online/Thunderbird is empty. The folder no longer exists and my Thunderbird can no longer be found after an update on November 1.

I can still find Thunderbird version 128.4.0 260MB from 1.11.24 and my old profile from 7.11. under Windows Programe.

What can I do to get my Thunderbird back? Reinstall Thunderbird and integrate the profile?

I haven't actively deleted the program and can't remember updating it.

I was just able to save the profile to a USB stick.

Many thanks in advance for your efforts

German Kann die Verknüpfung von Thunderbird nicht mehr öffnen. Diese ist nicht mehr auffindbar.. Mein Thunderbird ist wohl nach einem Update am 1.11. nicht mehr auffindbar. Finde unter Programe Thunderbird Version 128.4.0 260MB vom 1.11.24 und mein alten Profil vom 7.11. noch. Was kann ich tun um mein Thunderbird wieder zu erhalten? Neu installieren und das Profil einbinden? Habe aktiv das das Programm nicht gelöscht und kann mich an ein Update auch nicht erinnern.. Konnte das Profil gerade auf einen USB-Stick sichern

So, I don't have an issue, I just want to scream because my firefox crashed and when I started it back up it asked me about booting it in safe mode or something, but I didn't want that and the other option was 'refresh firefox'

Nowhere AT ALL does it warn you that it will WIPE your current installation and RESET everything. I had no ideas and had not saved up the content of my OneTab extension in a while, FUCKING THANK YOU FOR THAT.

That's it. Fuck you.

Hello, I have a new installation of Thunderbird (128.2.2esr (64-bit)) and am unable to discover how to set it to spell check in French. I've installed Grammalecte as suggested and then restarted the programme. However the only language option is English US.

Can you help please.

I have loved FF desktop browser since I started using it per my boss in 2003. But I am so tired of the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME you put out an update it breaks my access to the bank. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I waste HOURS reading articles, calling the bank IT dept, chatting with people who are on 3 calls at once, only to hear them tell me to "just use chrome." I clear the cookies, clear the cache, reboot, follow all the prompts in the settings and THEN the damned bank server doesn't recognize the device so it forces yet ANOTHER password change. It happened again TODAY and it makes me so sad but I cannot do it anymore. I am STILL now (going on 4 hours) trying to access the billpay page @ Xantanderbank. (ahem, secure codename) I am forced now, by this craziness, to use the imbecilic duckduckgo which is A) and offensive name and b) you KNOW it nowhere near the product you have built but I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE. Thank you for the time it takes to read this diatribe. I appreciate it.

I have a user at my job that installed the latest Firefox update (13324.11.21) through our MDM. After installing this update she cannot launch Firefox. When attempting to launch she receives a request for a username and password to install a Helper Tool. She is an admin on her machine and enters her credentials. The message closes and nothing happens. When attempting to launch again the same thing happens. This is not happening with our other 100 Macs who have the same Firefox version and others who have the same OS.

Is anyone able to tell me why this is happening or how to fix? Any assistance is very much appreciated.

The below troubleshooting steps have been done:

Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox

Updated the OS to 15.0.1

Disabled the Master Password on Firefox through a Mac Profile

Checked if there was a Firefox file under /Library/PrivlegedHelperTools

Granted Full Disk Access to Firefox under System Settings

I pressed download but I don't know what to do next. I signed up for the newsletter and gave a donation. I don't know where to find the app or how to complete the installation. Thank you.

When I opened Thunderbird today, I was greeted by a giant red message warning, "This is an unsupported version of Thunderbird!! Thunderbird monthly releases are not considered stable for general use." By following a provided link to the "latest stable version of Thunderbird," I found that was version 128.3.0esr.

I did not request an update. I did have Settings> General> Updates set to "Automatically install updates", so I suppose that is how I got this version. But how was I pushed to an unsupported version? Do I need to turn off automatic installs to be protected from this in the future?

Can you add an option to have the menu bar on top instead of the bottom? I rather have it on top like it used to be, so I would like for there to at least be an option to change it.
