The method I found successful in creating my Thunderbird profile on a new PC was different from the posted method. I hope this method helps others. Both Ubuntu 24.04.4 Mate and Thunderbird 155.0/ On the source PC I copied the .thunderbird folder to a USB drive. On the destination PC I opened the thunderbird folder (not hidden). Copied 123xyz.default and 456pqr.default-esr to this folder. Replaced profiles.ini with profiles.ini from the source PC. Opened Thunderbird and found my familiar experience.

I wish to back-up my Thunderbird profile, but apparently, I am to find an "export tool" under the "tools" menu. Unfortunately the option to 'export' does not appear in the list [but "import" does...!]

My old Widows 10 computer died. All I have left of it is the last full Acronis 2020 backup. I have installed Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 computer and want to restore my Profile data from the backup. How do I find them? Have been searching for days and can't find anything like in your profiles help article.

If I can't recover the data can you at least send me my current license key?

Hi, Need help with maps that cannot be removed. Thunderbird downloaded my map configuration, after a new Thunderbird installation, from my online account/my internet provider which was OK. After that I removed all maps on my online account but the maps in Thunderbird is still there but out grayed and I cannot delete them?

I uninstalled Thunderbird and also removed Thunderbird associated maps under %AppData% and %LocalAppData% but when I do a new clean installation same maps shows up in Thunderbird again? I waited some days and did a new installation again, but same issue. I have also deleted everything in W11 cash memory.

Attached picture shows the out grayed "NyMapp and subfolders" I cannot delete. How do I get rid of those folders?

Any help is appreciated.

I want to copy my windows Thunderbird profile to Linux but my Profile Directory will not open when I press open directory. I downloaded Thunderbird from the Zorin app store, and it may be a flatpak or something – it won’t tell me now because I have already installed it – but I believe that could be a reason for the directory not opening. Is there a non-PC-literate way of finding out and fixing this?

Trying to import saved passwords from an OpenOffice file on Windows 11 but FireFox refuses saying there are incorrect or no column headers.

When I open the file myself there are column headers using UTF-8 ...... must they be in a sequence or something?! Specific headers?

FireFox Version 153.0.3 (64-bit)

I have installed version 153 of Firefox for Android (see attached screenshot).

The release notes say that it supports importing bookmarks from csv files. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/importing-bookmarks-firefox-android says to tap bookmarks and then tap the menu icon at the top.

When I go bookmarks THERE IS NO MENU ICON (see attached screenshot).

What is going on?

With a new Thunderbird installation on Windows 10 Pro, I attempted to import my profile data from a Postbox on another machine. The process failed, citing two errors (see attached screen shot), EmptyDatabase Error: "blocklists/addons-bloomfilters" has not been synced yet Uncaught NS_ERROR_FILE_NO_DEVICE_SPACE: Component returned failure code: 0X805200010

The profile being imported is pretty large -- around 20Gb, so I wonder whether I have surpassed some capacity limit. I was doing this via the Import Tool on the Tools menu.

Porting my legacy mail folders is crucial. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't Import bookmarks from chrome, the option is missing. Everything else worked, and the option is not "hidden", when I clicked to import bookmarks were not imported.

Good evening. This might be a tough one and not sure if it is even possible. I have had Firefox on my Dell Desktop for about 6 years. Over that time I have made many tweaks via about:config to get it working and looking as great as can be. I did just purchase a new HP desktop and downloaded and synced Firefox. I was also able to set up the new PC next to the old one to make sure each settings menu is exact. But the appearance is off on so many levels. I have no idea how many tweaks I have made over the years but have no idea exactly where to start. I did not know if there was any way on the older PC with those tweaks made to get a log of some sort of what I changed on that Firefox.

Even with the settings menu exact in both versions I cannot figure out what changes I had made. It's not many but enough. I know it is crazy but here is 2 screenshots. The one on the right, the smaller one in general is from the old PC and how I want it to look. I have tried tweaking zoom and text on the new PC and it has been a disaster, hence looking here.

Thanks in advance.

bold texti have a thunderbird profile on exterior drive I have installed linux mint on my PC but cannot locate the profile to use my old TB profile -either by replacing it or renaming the old profile for the linux one

Bought a new Windows 11 computer. What sort of problems may I have transferring my data from Windows 7 Vista to windows 11. Any suggestions or instruction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help..

I have exported my bookmarks from Brave, which are in HTML format. I cannot find where you can import them into Firefox, I am using the Android version.

I would also like to know where the private window is so I can use YouTube.

I have followed the instructions for transferring the Thunderbird profile from my old computer to my new computer. However, the updates do not come across. I don’t get all of the folders that I created on the old computer. The email works fine.
