Why would I install Thunderbird instead of Firefox?

Currently using Win Live Mail on this computer - quite satisfied with its performance. Have used Thunderbird on another computer, which was installed by my Tech Guru without explanation as to why Thunderbird, Firefox no.

Thunderbird is an email client.
Firefox is a web browser.

Only those who do not know to do better (or those who do not care) use webmail. Everyone uses a decent mail client like Thunderbird.

    Some applications need Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and so do some web page requests.  If * you * need, depends on what you have instaled/where go you on the Internet to do whatever it is you / want to do.

    That you want or need depends on you.  My choice is now JRE 6 - because it has proven more sure, yet.

  • Thunderbird - completely remove Firefox

    Hello

    My difficulties where the installation fails on a space having detailed in a separate post, I am now in a curious loop:

    Installed Firefox, he adapted, replaced my old prefs.js file, and get it all right. just as I like it. What's on the third time, I installed in this new machine running Windows 10 (bring back XP Pro; it worked).

    Then I installed Thunderbird, it fits my taste, it closed at least once, open again and it was beautiful.

    Next thing I noticed is that the Firefox shortcuts were missing from the image (on the desktop and the taskbar). When I tried to run, Windows told me that this app might not run on this PC.

    So I thought that I will reinstall. Note that, because I had read somewhere that Firefox and Thunderbird using the same file (I actually don't find no evidence;) I found two separate files on the way) I decided to install in the same folder, basically Mozilla.

    Then reinstall I'm offered the upgrade option, which I accepted. Eventually everything seemed fine again. Until I tried to launch Thunderbird. When I clicked on shortened sound, lacking then also the image, I am now told the application cannot be found.

    When I then checked the installation folder, I found no trace of Thunderbird. or it is in the list of installed programs.

    My conclusion is that Thunderbird fully erased the installation of the machine.

    Did I cause in ignorance?

    I think it's most likely something you do. I really don't know. But I would hazard a guess your used to install programs in one location other than that defined by windows in the first major mistake. Windows makes this more difficult over time. Windows has problems with programs that are not installed in the ProgramFiles and % programfiles(x86) % environment variable of the places. You can change windows to change the physical location, but simply ask the executable programs where you want will cause you questions.

    Thunderbird and Firefox sare some core code, as well as the sea monkey, so all have all records of similar profiles. But don't share it does not profile, except in the case of seamonkey.

    Profile of Thunderbird will be in % appdata % environment under the Thunderbird folder variable. Firefox will be under Mozilla\Firefox.

    The result is, forget everything you think you know about windows. Substitute information from UNIX and OS x (and retrieve this old acquaintance of BACK) and you'll get about 10 Windows.

    Data structures are rigid, file permissions are normal. Even running as an administrator is not really an exception of security as it used to be.

  • If I install Thunderbird for iOS on my ipad, can this version automatically connect with my version already installed Windows PC - sharing of addressbook, templates

    Hello

    Last fall, I installed Thunderbird for Windows on my PC. I'm very happy with it and plans to install the version for iOS on my ipad. I wonder if 2 versions would be able to communicate with each other. Specifically, they will be able to: share address books (I have an address book very large on my PC version and want the ipad version to access), models (have several designed on my PC that I wish I could share), share records of messages sent and received between the two versions, etc. Is this possible? Please let me know. Thank you!

    -Ludivina.

    Mozilla.org doesn't have any version of Thunderbird and Firefox for iOS due to Apple restrictions on JavaScript and browser engines that can be used.

    Development of Thunderbird is a lot less now because it is not yet a version of Tb for Android when Mozilla has of Android versions of Firefox since Firefox 4.0.

    Mozilla has that Thunderbird/Firefox for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX desktop. Firefox Mobile for Android and the Firefox OS for phones.

  • Why does my site display properly in Firefox but not Safari/Chrome?

    I have looked through all my code and do not understand why my previews site perfectly well in Firefox, but in Safari or Google Chrome all elements of the site work but the images that make up the background appear empty or with a blue question marks in a box on them.  I made the site by slicing layers in Photoshop then saved the HTML as a template and added the relevant divs.

    It displays a good overview on Dreamweaver as well but it is precisely these browsers on that it does not work.  It is used to preview very well on these browsers while I was doing it until I added the flash element to it, so I don't know if this has something to do with it, although all Flash elements appear and function ok.

    Thanks SnakEyes, I managed to get rid of the Alt error now.  My structure automatically becomes a tabular presentation due to the importation of the slices directly from Photoshop in a fixed layout?  All of a sudden I have all these new upcoming errors for no leftmargin, topmargin, marginWidth don't and marginheight as well as the height, so it would be ok if I just deleted all references to the latter in the code?

    Nancy Merci for these links to page layouts ready to use, they will definitely come in handy for my next site.  As I want my site to be a fixed 1024 x 700 does what a function table plan?  I want it be fixed instead of liquid that I want all the Flash animations to show in specific locations on the site.

    This is why you should not export the HTML from Photoshop.  To answer your question that exports only Photoshop like HTML 4.01, which is why he has these attributes.  In addition, everything is an image in a table cell, which leads to many problems.  Learn how to cut out pictures and use everything that CSS can offer will make better code.

  • Can I install Thunderbird to a new computer by using an existing profile folder?

    Hello, my computer has been stolen, but I had done a backup of my Thunderbird profile. I have a new computer and want to know if I can install Thunderbird and use the same profile folder name that I have in my backup. I understand that if possible he would potentially avoid problems copy and paste files or specific folders. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    You follow the instructions under the section of the article "create a new profile and copy that on it."
    It just skip steps 1-3 and go to step 4.

    You do nothing in the section "edit profiles.ini to point to the new location.

  • I bought a new pc and installed Thunderbird, now also on old pc but thunderbird on new pc hangs up

    my pc is dying so I had a newer version and installed Thunderbird on it, using Gmail. My old pc has about 4 messages in the Inbox, but on the new pc, the Inbox has all the messages received in the past months. I have deleted many of them, but now Thunderbird completely hangs up on the new pc, but it still works on the old pc, when the old pc is able to boot (not always).

    I went in the web browser and go to Gmail and the Inbox also had hundreds of messages, I deleted everything except 5 messages. When I return in Thunderbird, the Inbox again shows hundreds of messages from the last months and hangs (not responding).

    How to make it so that when I delete a message from the Inbox in Thunderbird on the old pc, it will not reappear in the Inbox in Thunderbird on the new pc?

    Old PC using Norton 360, new PC with Microsoft Security Essentials.

    OLD PC POP, outgoing server type is SMTP
    New type of PC server IMAP, SMTP outgoing

    A possible clue - on the new PC - he started work without changing any settings. What I did on the new PC's opinion it is an '' Important '' of folder names and all the many emails in my Inbox were there. I deleted them not Thunderbird, but from the Firefox Web browser. What I think is what has helped all the old emails disappear from my Inbox.

    My old PC does not have a folder named 'important '.

    Recently of new messages are appearing in my important file again if they are no longer in the Inbox.

    Thanks for any help you can provide on this.

  • you will need to re - install Thunderbird. Current Thunderbird is corrupt.

    Reinstall rarely, if ever solves any problem in Thunderbird related to the connectivity or failure to retrieve messages. That's because uninstall it reinstall do not delete or change any of your existing data and settings.

  • Clean install Thunderbird on old computer

    Recently, I moved to a new computer and try to clean install Thunderbird on the old computer to another user. I read in this forum to remove the data file that contains all of the old information. I did, but now Thunderbird opens. I get a message telling me that there is no personal data (or words to that effect) to associate with the program.

    I tried to download Thunderbird again, but it will not always be open. I would appreciate help with this, because the person I give the old computer is more eager to start with email on this subject.

    Thank you very much!

  • If I install Thunderbird on my MAC it will resemble the Thunderbird on my Windows 7 laptop?

    I have Thunderbird running on my ThinkPad T520 running Windows 7. I also have a MAC running OS/S 10.9. If I install Thunderbird for MAC on my MACBOOK, will it look the same as Thunderbird running on the ThinkPad running Windows 7?

    No, it will look like a MAC app. The menu will be on. On windows 7, it is turned off.

    The basic principles will not change, but some of these menu options will be placed where use of MAC OS x would be expected to find, not where they are in Windows http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows, _Linux, _and_Mac
