I have finally decided to take a chance on upgrading TB from version 115.10.1 to 115.16.3 hoping that this would fix the huge delays and getting hung up checking my Gmail accounts but apparently not. Is there any hope or any answers?

I am about to set up a new Windows 11 laptop. The old one is a Win10 one, running Thunderbird 128.4.3 32-bit. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet. My Thunderbird profile as recorded by Mozbackup is about 16GB - most of this is archived in Local Folders. I have 15 email accounts (using four different domains, none of them are gmail or hotmail etc) and a newsgroup.

I've looked at various answers (and problems!) around these factors and cannot see the wood for the trees. Can anybody tell me - or direct me to - a clear description of how to go about this? Some questions are:

1. Can I install 64-bit on the new laptop and copy over the old 32-bit profile? If not, is there any problem in continuing to use a 32 bit Thunderbird? I am getting a lot of hanging/not responding in the current TB. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet.

2. How do I ensure that all the archived mail is transferred without problems? I haven't compacted anything lately, since I noticed that sometimes a message stub is retained where the message body seems to have disappeared, and that compacting risks deleting even the message stub, which can be useful.

3. I've been using MozBackup for ages now but it is really ancient - is there a more up-to-date backup that would be reliable?

Thanks in advance! I'm planning on do the new installations at the weekend but anything I can do to prepare would be useful to know!

Последнее обновление сломало ВСЁ. Нажимаешь на сохранённую вкладку и ничего не происходит - ст��анички не открываются и даже не пытаются загрузиться. Жмёшь на меню настроек, ничего не происходи. На синхронизацию - ничего не происходит. Сносил браузер, переустанавливал, чистил, ставил новую версию, ставил старую версию - НЕ РАБОТАЕТ НИЧЕГО. При этом браузер Edge нормально работает - через него и пишу Вам. Работаю на Window 10 (всё обновлено).

Can Firefox add support for long screenshots on Pixel devices? This feature works on other apps. From what I've gathered it's up to the app developer to add support.

lost all my History Tabs I had set up on my Browser :-( Never Had that happen before, as I was ALWAYS able to RESTORE my tabs. Please help, cause I have MANY TABS OPEN for my Cancer Dr's and all the info that goes with CANCER APPTS etc. Please Help me get my tabs back soon :-) Thank You, Jeff Price.

I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 on a Windows 10 desktop PC, with a profile which includes a userChrome.css file which makes several layout and cosmetic changes.

I also have a laptop (also Windows 10) which has an old Firefox 97.0.1 installation, and I'd like to make the same changes on this machine which I'm used to on the main computer. I copied my desktop profile to the laptop, to the same directory as its present profile, but when I rebooted Firefox the transferred profile wasn't recognised.

While doing the transfer I received error messages about some of the folders: Destination path too long. This despite the fact that the registry flag to accept extended paths is set to 1. I had to skip several folders in order to complete the transfer.

Could this be the reason why the new profile isn't being picked up? Or is it because the two Firefoxes are of different versions?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.

Have tried multiple times to update Firefox on my laptop, apparently unsucessfully, as I get messages in some apps saying I need to update. Anybody have any ideas?
