Hi everyone!

I got a problem and cant find any solution on the internet. My Pc just stopped working and i ordered new parts and installed windows on it. Now i tried to get back all my data and programs from my old HDD, but i cannot find my calendar data.

I stored the calendar on the pc and not the internet (bad decision i guess)

Can someone help me? Does anyone know, where i can find a file or something, to get to my calendar data?

i have m2 mac book air with 15.1 Beta (24B5035e) OS when i try to download firefox for my laptop it always defaults to 64-bit version not arm64 version due to this i am facing multiple performance issues. I searched online but it seems that no one has my problem. I like to use firefox but i am not able to.

I have been using a usrChrome.css in my profile to create multi-row tabs. (Why cant Mozilla see the need for this with 4K monitors?) The Oct update broke this and I cannot get FF to load the css file that has worked for more than a ywar.

Help please?

missing Thunderbird profiles: Thunderbird works on my windows 11 box but, ]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles can't be found. I see others have the same issue, all recently uploaded as I am doing now, so something must have happened. None of the suggested fixes have helped. Has anyone come up with a strategy that works? Thanks for any help or direction.

• I installed Thunderbird on pop-os linux (flatpack).
• Copied the *default-release directory from win to pop-os
• Imported *default-release directory
• The mail messages came over fine.
• The calendars from win appear on the left
• But none of the events or tasks from win appear on pop-os

I followed what steps I've found on line. I thought that if the mail came over, the other data should also be there. It appears at some of the calendar information made it, but not the events, etc.

I don't want to re-enter events manually. Is there something missing above?

I followed the instructions for transferring Thunderbird data from an old PC to a new one. ("Moving Thunderbird Data to a new Computer"). The only email messages that made the transfer were the ones I saved from Outlook Express that were imported into Thunderbird on the old PC in 2014. None of the emails existing in my two important account folders (set up in 2014) made the move. Those, of course, are the most important ones. Now what? PS: I am not an IT professional, just a small business owner that needs to transfer emails from the last couple of years to a new PC because the old one is obsolete. PPS: It was not possible to install Thunderbird on the new PC without creating an account - - the installation program refused to move forward to complete the installation without doing this step. If I understand the instructions in "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer, I was not supposed to create any accounts during the installation process. However, that proved impossible - - the installer would not complete the process without doing this and there was no option to skip creating accounts. After I made my first attempt to install the "Thunderbird" folder (containing the Profile folder, etc.) on the new PC, and finding my most important email messages didn't make the trip with the rest of the Thunderbird folder, I tried deleting the account I had set up as a required step in the installation process in order to install TB on the new PC, then uninstalling Thunderbird, in order to clear the account that I had set up (one of the ones I am trying to transfer over). In other words, I tried to start over with installing Thunderbird on the new PC. However, when I downloaded and installed Thunderbird the second time on the new PC, it reinstalled the account I had deleted!

Hey, since yesterday ( 6/10/2024 ) my installation ( currently version 131.0 ) had a weird change. When opening the app it would create a new instance on my taskbar, while I thought unusual at the time it did also remove its ability to use the taskbar context menu, only having the pin to taskbar option.

Below are some images of this, the first two being the missing context menu from both Firefox installations, the original one is the one that has the frequents tab.

make firefox so it can sync the toolbars across networked computers. why does this not work. sync seems useless.

there is not button on taskbar to implement dark mode, but it is on several other firefox computers.

but it will not sync to toolbar for use, so dark mode cannot be clicked. pretty useless.

Everything was normal before the update. When I did the update, the menus changed, the bookmarks disappeared, the new tab key disappeared, how do I get it back to its original state?

i have a new Lenovo Yoga laptop. Previous laptop was a Yoga laptop. I could log in to Spotify with the previous laptop. I still can. I can't log in to Spotify on new laptop. I am being forced to log in with Microsoft Edge, which I hate! I read that I may need a Firefox add-on. What add-on? Help.

Hey there! System: Windows 10 x64, Firefox Nightly.

Problem: Out of the blue, when I start Firefox Nightly (I think 2-3 days ago), it just crashed with no extra info. I see the "window of the update process", it goes to the middle or to the end, immediately closes and doesn't bring up the Crash reporter. However! When I tried to run a Nightly Installer that I downloaded through Chrome, it quietly runs and then just opens up my browser no problem, profile and all. I checked and it seems to be the exact same .exe file (according to the Task Manager).

So in short: it breaks if I run it straight from my usual shortcut, or with .exe. But if I run the installer myself, the browser opens up fine.

However, the installer didn't bring any new updates that would fix the problem, I have this for 2-3 days now, I don't remember. I start working, I see I didn't fix it and run the installer again.

Any ideas on the fix? I would love to not lose my profile, settings and, if possible, tabs. I'll try disabling all the extensions after I post this, I don't think they contribute, though (seeing how the external Firefox Nightly Installer opens up my browser just fine).

Thanks in advance!

I just ran a couple updates and now every time I open Thunderbird, Firebird opens also. On the ad screen to donate. This never happened until now. It is annoying since it opens over Thunderbird. How do I get it to stop? I do use it as my default browser, but when I want it. Thanks.

I followed the instructions to backup my profile. I rebuilt my system. Now I'm trying to restore. I did the install and tried to bring back the backup profile, it didn't work or even see it. So I deleted the other profile and left the backup one that I put in the same location as instructed. Not only didn't it work, it wouldn't even open. I ran the uninstall and tried to reinstall, as the website said. Now it says it installed but hasn't. It no longer shows up in the programs under control panel and says: "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." So now I don't have Firefox at all.

Today I was notified Firefox version 131.0 had been installed. Now, when using the Charles Schwab website, I can't access my bank account, which is a separate entity, and requires me to use Schwab's access method. I've used this method/tool for a decade or more without incident until FF 131.0 showed up. Here's the error: "You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms: • Block third party cookies • Cookie tracking • Cross-site tracking Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled.

I've disabled "Enhanced Tracking Protection", cleared the browser of cookies and site data. I disabled Privacy Badger and Ghostery. None of which helps.

This procedure works using Firefox on an ios tablet. Also, it works with Microsoft Edge.

Thanks for any help. -Deke

Dear Thunderbird team I am an avid user of TB (home desktop Windows PCs), but I have been resting on my laurels on v78 for a few years now. I know, shame on me. I would like to upgrade to a stable "modern" release (emphasis on "stable" please). Can you please advise if I should aspire to end up on 115 or 128, and how I might get there ? From reading some older blogs, there is advice that says.... first go to v91, then v102, then v115, and so. That seems a bit tortuous, but I am happy to do so if that is still the recommended approach.

Also, can you advise on how I manage my Profile through all this, do I need to do various exports/imports as I move through these different versions, etc.

Many Thanks
