Problems transfering Profile folder to new computer---Start over?

I'm trying to transfer the Profile folder from my current laptop to my new one. I followed the directions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer but must've made a mistake because none of my many Local folders have populated Thunderbird in the new laptop. Also, the GB size, number of files and number of folders show to be very different on the new laptop vs. the current one.

I'm inclined to just start over but have a question. Can I simply delete the contents of the "Thunderbird" folder under "Roaming" in my new laptop and try again to paste into it? Or are there some items in that folder that were inserted when I first downloaded TB into my new laptop so that doing a complete deletion would remove those and they wouldn't be replaced when I try pasting again? If so, how do I get around that?

Thanks very much for your help.

Back in September, 2024, Microsoft Outlook no longer accepted my long-used login information via Thunderbird. I could still log in to https://outlook.live.com/owa/?realm=hotmail.com from the Firefox browser. I tried adjusting Account Settings (e.g. Server Name, Server Type [POP], Security/Authentication, etc. to no avail. I downloaded the current version of Thunderbird (128?) and tried installing per directions found here. Tried using the Flatpak path. The direct Command Line path yielded the same result.

dave@Sequimer:~$ sudo flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.Thunderbird [sudo] password for dave: Skipping: org.mozilla.Thunderbird/x86_64/stable is already installed

On edit: Did what I hoping to avoid and deleted Thunderbird and all of the Thunderbird related files in the Linux home directory. Then installed a current version of Thunderbird and imported email stuff from an earlier backup. It works but now I have two renditions of Thunderbird running simultaneously.

I use a Firefox browser and a few days ago I got a message on my screen saying I wouldn't be able to use it after January 2025. I didn't read the message properly so I can't give any details.

I have looked at system requirements to update my current version but as I will explain it is not possible for me to update: I am using an old iMac - OS X version 10.9.5 The firefox version is 78.15.0esr (64-bit)

To update I need to have at least Mac OS 10.12 or later.

I am not computer literate so I cannot update my Operating System so I won't be able to download a more recent version of Firefox browser.

  • Will my current version still work after January (but with no new security updates)?
  • or will I not be able to use my Firefox browser at all?

M2 Mac Mini 2023 running MacOS Sequoia 15.2. Firefox will not open after upgrading to MacOS 15.2. Searching online both Mozilla and Apple recommend uninstalling Firefox by dragging the app to the Trash and reinstalling. However, the Mac won't allow me to drag Firefox to the Trash. There are no Firefox processes running in Activity Monitor and the Firewall is turned off. Also, I'm unable to start Firefox in safe mode. I deleted the Library folder in Application Support for Firefox and still can't open the app or uninstall it. If I attempt to install a new copy of Firefox over the existing app I get the error message shown in the screenshot below. Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
