In past years there was an export tool in my email address book. I recently went to export and the tool was no longer on the tool bar, nor was the import tool. I would like to have this tool.

Firefox does not have an email address book. If you are using a web based email account, the email address book will probably be part of that site. You should check with the support for that site to see if they still offer an option to export the address book.

If your question is about the Thunderbird email program, you can ask about this on the Thunderbird support site (https://support.mozillamessaging.com/.../home) or at Mozillazine (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=39)

Tony E, I am sorry if I sound a little slow on the information you gave to my question. I have used Mozilla Firefox for over 10 years for our primary email service. In past years I have exported email address info from my address book and have imported addresses into it. Now there the export and import tools are no longer shown on the address book. I have tried to up grade everything, but to no success. Are you telling me that I need to go to a different type of email service to be able to export my addresses to my desktop as a .cvs type file as I have done in the past. David

If you are using Firefox for email, you will be using a web based email service. The email address book will be part of that web based email service and not part of Firefox. It would be best to speak with the support for the email service that you use to see if they still offer the ability to export the email address book.

Firefox has no built in email features, and all email features will be part of the web based email service that you use.

When I open my inbox, across the header are the words Mozilla Thunderbird. Have I sent my question to the wrong community support group? David
