I have manually installed multiple older versions of Firefox for Desktop (Windows 10), as I am translating KB articles and sometimes need any of the twenty latest versions to get screenshots in my language for the translated articles.

When an older version becomes superfluous, I would like to uninstall it from my computer, but that does not work. Even though I see all the older Firefox versions listed in Windows Applications & Features and each of them has an Uninstall button (and a helper.exe file in the uninstall folder in the installation folder each of the versions), the only "action" I see is that I get a warning that the Firefox Helper application is about to make change to the content of my hard drive, and will I allow that? The pop-up asking if I want to refresh Firefox instead of uninstalling, it does NOT appear.

The only time I get a proper response, i.e the Refresh-instead-of-uninstall? pop-up, is when I initiate uninstall of the latest current version of Firefox, in my case Fx132.0.2.

Have anyone else come across this problem?

I just downloaded Thunderbird on my new Mac, asked it to synch with my email and it's done it very imperfectly, missing lots of folders and sub-folders, showing deleted and archived folders (in italics) and so on. It did this on a previous desktop too, where I uninstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled it to try - but failed - to solve the issue. What did I, or it, do wrong and how do I correct it? Thanks / Maurice

on Windows 11, my installation of Thunderbird was only partially successful. I created my own installation path, as permitted by the Thunderbird installation instruction which included a "Local Folders" folder as a placeholder for all of my wife mail folders. But after copying all of her mail folder to C:Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\Local Folders - Thunderbird can't find them . The installation app gave no warning of impending doom. Any ideas about what might have gone wrong? I installed Thunderbird several times into slightly different paths - but not the default because I do my own backups and need to know where my files are located. Even though I am the administrator of the system I also got some messages telling me I wasn't an authorized user. Thanks for any tips, ideas or even complete solutions are appreciated.

C:Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\Local Folders has all my mail folders from my previous computer - but Thunderbird can't find them - Why? I can send and receive e-mail but none of my folders are available

Hi, I'm having issues because I don't seem to have fully migrated from my old version of Firefox to the new one installed by auto update. The two versions are running in parallel causing some major conflicts and incompatibilities, e.g. my open tabs are not showing in the new version (even though I've tried to update my Profile:default), it's not interfacing with my password manager app, links are opening in the new version. I'd be really grateful to know how I can resolve this (please note that I'm not a technically advanced user).

Hello all. :-)

Since the last update, I can SEND email fine(including attachments), but when I OPEN any email, all the items on the screen show up like editable objects, none of the links work, you can't download or otherwise access any attachment, and I am getting a cryptic message in yellow at the bottom of the window.

I tried downgrading to the last version that worked, but then TB would not allow me to import the profile, as the latest version has obviously done something in the profile, to make it incompatible if you downgrade - I just get a message that you can't import the profile, it was created in a newer version of TB......sod off. ;-)

I have attached images of what I am seeing. I have pixelized my email address etc, for privacy.

Can anyone help?

First of all, I love your product. Have used it for many years.On a club computer trying to put it on my computer and it is endless checking passwords. No matter what I try when installing my yahoo in my or my gmail account

It has verified it with both email providers. The provider show the thunderbird is being used as a client. I have tried this with the email password and without no matter what I do I cannot get past this problem. I have windows ten

Im trying to look t messages in a website im a member if. Says my phone and version if firefox need updated. Both have the latest updates but the error msg is still present.

Just updated Firefox to version 132.1 on my iPhone and now all of my tabs are gone. Going to history and trying to restore previous session doesn’t work and my history does not go back far enough to get my previously opened tabs back. Is there anyway to restore them?

Po uruchomieniu Programu Thunderbird, otwiera się nowa zakładka ze stroną https://updates.thunderbird.net/pl/thunderbird/128.0/nov24/ Jak mogę to wyłączyć?

I am currently running Firefox on desktop (128.4.0esr) version.

The last few addons that I have installed are not working properly. Or rather, they work just fine, but when I close Firefox and re-open it later, they seem to fail to actually enable. I must go to the about:addons page, disable the addon, and then re-enable it for it to actually work. If I do not do this, it will not be on my toolbar, and the Extensions sidebar button does not show the addon in the list. It's as if it isn't properly installed.

After reading this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1420017 I thought maybe my extensions db got corrupted somehow, so I followed their instructions and deleted the extensions.databaseSchema config. And wouldn't you know it, it worked! Once I restarted Firefox, I saw some notifications in the main sidebar menu and was greeted with this: Notifications Once I clicked through them and enabled, everything seemed fine.

However after closing firefox again, the problem comes back. Those exact extensions that I manually approved upon restarting are the ones that are giving me troubles and not enabling properly. An interesting thing I noticed is that these all seem to be extensions that require additional permissions. I enabled the addon and gave them the permissions they requested, so I don't know why they are failing to enable properly on startup.

I want to permanently fix the problem

Don't know what to do with this:

A later version of Mozilla Firefox is required for Prime Video. To update, click the menu button (three horizontal stripes) on the web browser toolbar, click {1>Help<1}, {2>About Firefox<2}, and then click {3>Restart to update Firefox<3}.

Firefox updated on its own without permission.

Allow Firefox to Automatically install updates (recommended) X Check for updates but let you choose to install them

Even with the Check for... checked it still installed the updates. What can I do to stop Firefox from auto updating.

Thank you

3 Days ago Thunderbird, Firefox and Windows 11 all updated at the same time. Now, every time I close and reopen Thunderbird, it takes me back to the "Setup your existing email" page, and I have to create a new profile and start over. I then restore my email and settings, etc. via a backup, only to have the same thing happen the next time I open Thunderbird. Firefox is being similarly affected, but not quite to the same degree. I don't lose my bookmarks, but all my settings have to be restored. I'm using Bitdefender Total Security, and have turned everything off, and the same thing happens. I've been using all these programs for years, and Windows 11 for over a year with no problems. Please help.
