Hi!

I installed the Thunderbird app via Play Store a while ago. I have the F-Droid app on my phone, too. I now got a notification from F-Droid offering me an update for Thunderbird. I'm far from a pro. I would have expected an app installed via Play store to only be connected to and updated via Play Store. Is this all safe and okay? There is no Thunderbird update available in Google Play.

Thank you for your help, please let me know if you need any phone specs or version numbers!

I am looking to find a way to change the time in which I receive updates from Mozilla. Getting an update interferes with the operation of my laptop and to top it off, I don't know that there is an update coming through so I waste so much time thinking I have a problem with my connection, my router, my settings, my laptop. Hugely inconvenient. Why can't I set the time I want updates to come through and not interfere with me while my laptop is in use. This is enough to make me want to drop Firefox and switch out.

Hello, I reported this problem and you replied with a solution and that was to downgrade to version 142. My question is: Then what ? Will I be stuck with version 142 for years or is Thunderbird working on a solution to this problem because presently updating to any version such as 144 only continues to erase local folder contents. Thank you for your support Douglas Noades

Dear demons, when will you release a new update that will fix the old update? When will all the normal features be working? It's time to get back to real work for the benefit of society.

Using version 88.0 and browser - both outdated and not supported. How can I update to newest version and browser? I am 80 yrs old and not computer literate. Please keep it simple. No human help is available - I am alone.

Hi

My version of Thunderbird has just been updated automatically to 140.Oesr (32-bit)

I now cannot enter hyperlinks (Ctrl K) into emails.

The text appears in the email but it is not underlined.

I have also sent the emails to myself and the hyperlink is still not clickable in the received email.

I was able to enter hyperlinks in the previous version of Thunderbird.

I hope you have a solution because I use this facility frequently.

Thank you.

Enough is enough—every update brings problems, crucial add-ons stop working, and now drag and drop attachments have stopped working. It's really inconvenient. Maybe it's time to stop this nonsense and implement paid subscriptions or purchases, but in a way that makes everything work.

I have Thunderbird installed on a Surface Pro running Windows10 and on a Surface Pro running Linux Fedora. When I use the Windows10 computer to prepare a Thunderbird export file for the profile, the Fedora machine Thuderbird import command will not read it.

The Windows10 machine has Thunderbird 147 and the Fedora machine has 146. Is the difference in version responsible for the failure to import the profile files? Or is it something else?

If the difference is the version of Thunderbird, then how do I get 147 on my Fedora machine?

If it is something else, what do I do so that I do not lose saved emails and calendar data from 147 version when I am running the 146 version?

I use Thunderbird on two user IDs on the same Mac, which is running macOS 15.3.1.

I usually run Thunderbird updates on user 1, but this time I ran the it (to 128.7.0esr) on account 2, and I can no longer launch it on user 2. (Note: Neither user is an admin account.)

Steps: 1. On user 2, launch Thunderbird. 2. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.7.0esr. 3. Click the Restart to update button. 4. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.7.0esr. 5. Click the Restart to update button. 6. Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper. 7. Enter the admin ID and password and click OK. 8. Get a (surprise) dialog to authorize Thunderbird to discover my devices. 9. I choose to deny.

Expected result: Thunderbird relaunches, now with 128.7.0esr. Actual result: Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper.

10. Log off user 2 and log on to user 1. 11. Download 128.7.0esr from the Mozilla website. 12. Check the hash. 13. Install, choosing to replace the old Thunderbird in the shared Applications folder. 14. System Settings, About, System report, Applications 15. Verify the signature is signed by Mozilla 16. Launch Thunderbird

Expected and actual result: Thunderbird launches and I can use it normally.

17. Log out of user 1 and log into user 2. 18. Launch Thunderbird

Expected result: Thunderbird launches and I can use it normally. Actual result: Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper.

I'm guessing there's some manner of residual file that's preventing Thunderbird from launching on user 2. I've verified Thunderbird is in the system's Application folder and not in user 1's files.

How do I clear the pending install from user 2 so that Thunderbird will launch for user 2?

Hello,

Moving from an older Ubuntu 18.04 machine where Firefox is limited to version 113 to a newer machine running Mint 22 where the current version is 134.

I know how to transfer the profiles but I could not find any information on compatibility.

Would I need to install other versions before 134 to handle any changes?

Thank you

1. How can I locate the FF version on my devices. I have Android 14 OS. Today (February 16) I located a versio 147.4 will be released. Is this automatically available for my devices or do I nèd to download. If so how.. Ðo I get notifications.

Every since updating to Thunderbird 147.0.1, I have noticed that every time I start Thunderbird, it creates a directory called "Thunderbird" in my home directory! This didn't happen before the update and I have a '.thunderbird' directory in my home already! I had a search in the settings for the term "directory" but did not find anything that seemed related. But it seems to be caused by some new setting that has become activated with the update.

I am on an Arch GNU/Linux operating system, if any further information is necessary to help debug this, please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance :-).
