I downloaded Foxfire thinking that Thunderbird and Foxfire is the same. Am I wrong? Foxfire will not recognize my email address or password. How do I correct this?

Chosen solution

Firefox and Thunderbird are both software edited by Mozilla, but they are completely different.

Firefox is a web browser, to visit websites. Thunderbird is an e-mail client, to send and receive emails.

What do you mean with Firefox will not recognize my email address or password? Why do you want to enter your email address in Firefox?
