Because my previous Thunderbird profile appears to be corrupted, I am trying to reconstruct it without too much duplication of effort. I have started with a virgin profile and added 3 mail accounts by way of the account wizard.

1. One of the accounts is an iCloud (Apple) account. Thunderbird offered to add my iCloud "Reminders" to Thunderbird's calendar, but the resulting entry shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, which seems to mean that it cannot be synced. The corresponding iCloud mail account appears to sync without problems. What must I do to enable the "Reminders"?
2. I also need to import the mail from the "Local Folders" in my old profile. Under "Tools - Import", it looks as though selecting "Mail Messages" will import all mail, which will likely result in hosing my profile again. How can I import *only* the mail folders form my old "Local Folders"?

I've been using Firefox for Android on multiple devices for many years now. I have poor eye sight and I end up zooming in on pages a lot, but when I do that the text doesn't auto-fit to the page so I end up having to scroll side to side as well as up and down constantly and it makes reading web pages a very frustrating chore. how do I get the text to auto-adjust to the new zoom level so it fits on the screen?

Hello I have a problem where I get an error message "Unable to use profile when you launch an older version of Thunde...."

I noticed that I had 2 versions of the program installed, 115.16.0 and 128.3.3. Thunderbird must have been running okay up to v115.16.0 as I had to do manual installs from then to now. Initially there seemingly was no indication of any problem. I'm not sure how many manual installs I did as it was only 15th Oct that this issue started. I was on holidays for 6 weeks Thunderbird was unused between about 28th Aug to 15th October. So, my Thunderbird was running at 115.16.0. I tried to uninstall 115.15.0 but it said I had another version that needed to have the uninstall completed by rebooting the PC. I did that but 115.16.0 still remained. I uninstalled 128.3.3 successfully. 115.16 still wouldn't uninstall, so I used a program to cleanup all of this version. I reinstalled 128.3.3 and still get the same problem I started with. "Unable to use profile when you launch an older version of Thunde...."

How can I get Thunderbird running? Regards Alllan

after latest update nov 12 128.4.3esr 32 bit my wife can not access our same email server mail.patokalakemarina.com. Gets security alert of invalid certificate. When I try to add an exception says is good and don't need an exception.

My 64 bit machine took the upgrade ok, no alert, and her android phone still accesses. Every box is checked the same as my 64bit. How to roll back an update?

Please advise if this was a bug that occurred after your 11/12 Tues. update. It appears that a patch of some sort was sent on 11/16 Saturday, but it did not help with bookmarks. I hope I don't have to use a different browser in order to save bookmarks or favorites. I also lost my Norton and Ad Muncher & had to re-set those again. I hope you have a fix for this as Firefox had a problem similar to this in late October '24. I really appreciated the stability prior to this. Thank you. P.S. What does this mean on my Firefox Settings page? Information "Your browser is being managed by your organization."

Ich habe bei einem Update vor einiger Zeit versucht, Firefox auf den neuesten Stand upzudaten. Jetzt erscheint die Seite nur auf Englisch mit Bookmarks usw? Was kann ich tun ?

Here's one for any techies. For updates (or download). does Firefox for Windows use AppX Deployment Server (dll) directly or via maybe Windows App Installer? I don't understand any of this stuff but the dll is faulty and is destroying every Windows app which foolishly tries to update with it. I beieve it's just done for Windows App Installer among its many scalps I can't system restore, probably due to a dodgy disk drive. I don't want to lose Firefox. Help!

Since the latest update Thunderbird is extremely slow to launch the mail pane always comes up with no messages for about 7 seconds after that it works but is often not very responsive Why ?? I have disabled all add-on's and recreated the msf files

I recently upgraded from Thunderbird 116 to 128 on Kubuntu 22.04, since then it has crashed at least once every day.

For some reason it is unable to send a crash report, instead I get the attached window pop up.

I have updated my Thunderbird and now I couldn't find my inbox, sent, and trash features.

Attached is the current state.

I am using MacOS 14.6.1

Any advise on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Thank you!

My previous request for help regarding missing bookmarks was resolved with your suggestion. However, another problem remains since the last update: my open tabs have also disappeared, and there were quite a few, as I was making a survey of equipment to buy and I left each model on a tab, for later comparison. I lost them all and a lot of time too. Is there any process that allows me to recover the lost tabs?

Hello,

I'm using and working frequently alternatively on two different boots on my computer (Windows 7 x64 and Windows 11) because I have no other choice (for software compatibility reaons).

All my mail archives (more than 20 years) have been transfered trhough the years from several machines and softwares to one Thunderbird instance on the Windows 7 x64 system. I have also 12 differents active email adresses (personnal, business, associative, etc). Knowing that some emails are configurated with pop servers and some others with imap. And this could not change.

Ideally, I simply need to install another Thunderbird instance on the Windows 11 boot, and I would like this thunderbird to load and save all new mail data on the folders situated in the windows 7 x64 drive.

Or in the worst case, to create an exact copy of the windows 7 x64 thunderbird on the windows 11 boot, but I need that when I'm on Win 11, all my written mails, including all drafts, sent mails on pop accounts, every single data should be also synced permanently on the windows 7 thunderbird, such as when I'm working on the Win 7 boot, I get everything exactly like on win 11, and when I'm working on the Win 11 boot, I get everything exactly like on win 7.

Notice that I need to continue to use pop accounts in order to get emails archive saved into my hard disks, this system is far more reliable than imap for achiving from my +20 years experience.

I just want a permanent and integral sync between the two boots, or better, exploit directly all the contents on my windows 7 boot, without the need of copying everything and syncing everything and multiplicate the enormous amount of email datas on 2 hard drives.

Is there a simple solution for that ?

After the 128 update I only get a bar with minimize, maximize and close when opening TB, clicking Reply, when there are calendar notifications, clicking Help, etc. The bar is so faint I have trouble finding it, and it's tedious having to stretch the bar into a real window every time. I haven't found a setting that addresses this; is there one? If not, is my only option to revert to an earlier version? I'm on Linux Debian.

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.

Hi everyone! I kept a 12X version of Firefox on my Mac because since 13X, it looses access to my mic after few seconds (all settings okay, no security issue, no warning or anything, just lost signal - working fine on all other apps). Browser-based applications requiring audio like Teams are not usable at all. This morning, the 13X update went through, even though I had deactivated all the auto updates. I tested my mic again and the issue persists - it does work well with all other apps, the issue is only with Firefox 13X. I have searched for a bug report but couldn't find any. Has anyone experienced this issue? Would you have a link to a bug/forum/anything? What other options do I have now if it keeps updating without consent? Many thanks!
