I got tired of the shenanigans with the latest "upgrades" to firefox (132 & 133) so I rolled back to the last working version (131.02). In doing so, it required me to create a new profile, which I did. Doing so WIPED OUT ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS, SETTINGS, ADD-ONS, OPTIONS, HISTORY, EVERYTHING!!! I now have a blank version of firefox.

How in the world can I get them back???

PLEASE HELP!!!!

I just purchased a new laptop and am trying to get Thunderbird up and running. I have an outlook email account and use it's calendar. On my previous laptop (manjaro linux) I ran Thunderbird version 138.0 which allowed me to install TBSync and customize via the chrome file. It worked great at bringing the calendar over to Thunderbird. Now, on my new laptop (also Manjaro Linux) the package manager is only presenting version 139+ to install but TBSync does not work on this version of Thunderbird and I can't figure out how to install Thunderbird version 138 on the new laptop.

So, I need help either syncing my calendar in thunderbird version 139 to my outlook account or on how to install thunderbird version 138 so I can add TBSync. I've downloaded the file for version 138 but don't know how to install it. This shouldn't be so difficult.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

New update removed the quick filters I was used to, and added new ones that are not useful to me. Additionally added a search-history-pop up-window that appear every time I click on the quick filters search bar.

How can I get back to the previous filters and how can I stop the search history from appearing every time I click on the quick filter search bar

If I copy a message file of Local Folders from the Thunderbird profile on one computer to the corresponding path on another computer, will Thunderbird process it correctly?

I see my e-mails in Local Folders are stored in this file, /home/norio/.thunderbird/<random>.default-release/Mail/Local\ Folders/<subfolder_name>.sbd/Inbox If I copy this file to the same path (except rewriting <random> string) on another computer by OS's commands (like cp and rsync), will the messages show up in Thunderbird on the destination computer?

I see many back-up and recovery articles that instructs the users to copy the entire profile directory and copy it to the new computer. I wonder if I can copy only a message file, so that I don't have to overwrite the entire settings and messages on the destination computer.

Hi really sorry about this I'm new to Firefox & I don't know how to report a possible bug or if this is even a bug but I opened Firefox this morning & my search bar is now at the bottom of my screen even after closing & reopening it

I've just been told by my Firefox Browser that there is an update available but it can't install it automatically, I need to manually download the file and install it. It took me to an Enterprise page which gave me the choice between a Rapid Response version or an ESR version. Firstly why an Enterprise page? Secondly which version do I need fora PC running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit please?

Hi there. I used the export/import functions to export my Thunderbird profile to a new computer.

It was largely successful. Many of my layout and general appearance settings were not imported to the new computer, but I just re-set those manually.

My last remaining problem is that it appeared that none of my local folders and messages were exported.

However, when I use file explorer to go to drive C on my new computer,

\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxxx.default-esr\Mail\Local Folders\Storage.sbd All of the folders, subfolders and messages are right there.

They're just not showing up in the directory tree pane or account pane (sorry, not sure what you really call it) in my main Thunderbird interface. All I see are "Trash" and "Outbox."

Anyone have any ideas as to how I make my local folders and messages re-appear?

Thanks,

Dave

Since updating Thunderbird on Friday, the application crashes right after opening, even in safe mode. This happens repeatedly, after several reboots and restarting application in normal and safe mode.

OS: Windows 10 App version: latest unknown.

Please assist. Details below.

Crash ID is: bp-9d476fe2-c377-4f9c-9908-b7fa80200924

I just erased all my profile files, trashed the Application that was in my machine and installed a new one from scratch. It worked for a few hours but crashed again. Opening in Safe Mode gives the same result.

When trying to configure thunderbird to work with our website, no matter what we do, it keeps producing error messages, even though everything is correct, and will not finish the configuration. And others that worked previously have ceased working all together. We have tried both SSL and Non SSL, both username as simple portion before the @ and with the full address. have tried both imap.txprioritythree.com and mail.txprioritythree.com and does not work.

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!

I downloaded Thunderbird, set it up with 3 email accounts played around with it all afternoon, closed it then when I try and open it back up it's like it's not there at all. It takes me back the the 'thanks for downloading page and opens the bit for me to set up a new email. There are no folders there at all. All I can do is start afresh and enter the email addresses again. This can't be right???....

I already have "Automatically install updates" and "When Firefox is not running" enabled.

But after each Firefox update I still get the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." prompt and "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments" window. These are inconvenient as they require user input and take up time.

I don't get these on all other browsers I use (including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave), which all update in the background seamlessly.

Is there a way to prevent these in Firefox and just have Firefox update seamlessly in the background like other browsers?

Your article about the expiration of Windows 10 says that anyone that has FireFox on the Release Channel doesn't have to worry, that updates will continue to support Windows 10. I don't know what that means (Release Channel). And how can I check if that's what I have?
