![]() ![]() For example: cd ~/DownloadsĮxtract the contents of the downloaded file by typing: tar xjf thunderbird-*.tar.bz2 Open a terminal and go to the folder where your download has been saved. Go to the Thunderbird’s download page and click on the Free Download button. So, although I have no interest in the OneTab extension, I just learned something useful! I hope other people find this trick useful too.These are correct and helpful instructions for installing Thunderbird locally and close to the official instructions to install it system-wide, which I’m quoting here as a reference (note that the commands in steps 4, 5, and 6 need to be run with sudo): ![]() not online)… then dragged the “i” icon from the Chrome toolbar into this Firefox window - and it worked then too! I simply dragged the Firefox “i” icon from the top of this page, into the Chrome window - and this page loaded in Chrome! It worked! Then I tried something just a bit trickier, in the other direction - I first (from a bookmark) loaded into Chrome a page from my local web-development server (i.e. (If you hover over it in Firefox, it says “Show site information” in Chrome, hovering it says “View site information” - that’s the icon I’m talking about.) At the top of both browser windows, at the far-left end of the URL bar, there’s a little icon of the letter “i” in a circle. (I did this on my Mac, but I’m guessing it would work on other platforms too.) I’m reading this article in Firefox, so I opened a new blank window in Chrome. I just tried an interesting little experiment, with a useful result. In the past I’ve just copied and pasted the URL, but (even for just one tab) that is a little tedious. Since I’ve rarely wanted to transfer more than one tab between browsers, I’m not inclined to install another extension just for that - especially one that (according to your description) closed all my tabs in the process. It offers all the information you need to do so, including disabling automatic updates in the web browser.

I'd also suggest you uninstall the newer version on your system before you run the old version installer. It is generally suggested to backup the browser or email profile before you install an older version. These older versions install just like any other version of the browser. While that may not be a big issue for local installations, it can become one once the browser is connected to the Internet. Firefox 2 for instance is no longer supported, which means that the browser won't get security or stability updates that supported versions of the browser receive regularly. ![]() Users who plan to install older versions of the browser or email client should make sure that the version is still supported by Mozilla. Update: The ftp links are still working properly. Make sure you backup the data before installing an older version of Thunderbird or Firefox. Update: Mozilla has changed the location of its ftp, the new locations are:Īgain: It can be highly problematic to install old releases. The ftp server not only lists the latest version but also all other releases that have been created in the past all the way from version 0.1 to the very latest version. Just point your web browser to and visit the ftp repositories for either program. There is however a very easy way of downloading old versions of either Thunderbird or Firefox. It might be different during beta testing but it is generally recommended to figure out other ways of coping with a problem. It is therefor usually not a good idea to download and install an old version. This is done to protect users from downloading outdated, insecure or unstable versions of a software. The official website that provide downloads of Firefox and Thunderbird only offer the latest version of the programs for all supported operating systems. ![]()
