Do Firefox's and Thunderbird's versions 32 bit work also for 64 bit systems in Linux?

Hello
I installed on my 64 bit laptop some Linux distros, each one in an alongside partition. Until now I used only 32 bit distros, because my machine has only 4 GB RAM and I prefer well tested softwares.
About Firefox and Thunderbird, I don't use the distro's versions, but I download from Mozilla's site the packages tar.bz2, expand them and save them into a date partition (not a system partition), accessible by each distro. In the same partition I saved also Firefox and Thunderbird profiles, in order to use the same software, the same profiles and the same mail archive with any distro I installed.
Now, I'd like to install also a distro that is offered only in the 64 bit version. The question is: may I use the same 32 bit version of Firefox and Thunderbird also with the 64 bit distro, sharing it (and profiles and mail archive) with the other distros (32 bit)?
If no, may I use only for the 64 bit distro the tar.bz2 of Firefox and Thunderbird 64 bit, but keeping on sharing profiles and mail archive with 32 bit Firefox and Thunderbird (with the other distros)?
Thanks for your help.

You may need appropriate 32-bit packages in order to run 32-bit versions on 64-bit Linux though.
There are 64-bit versions of Firefox for Linux at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ and for Thunderbird well they do not make as easy to get http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/31.2.0/linux-x86_64/ just choose your language like say en-US.

Firefox doesn't work w/ thunderbird in xfce4

I get a strange problem. If I have thunderbird open and firefox is not, when I try to start firefox I get "Failed to send command." but if I start firefox before I start thunderbird, all is well.
Once the problem starts it won't stop until I restart xfce4. Anybody have any idea why this is happening?
-Dustin

It's not a "compiled" bug in thunderbird, neither in "firefox", the problem
is in the script "/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox" which is included in "mozilla-firefox" package.
Just make it look like "/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird" and everything will work fine.
With night builds you do not use that script, that's why you don't have problems.
It's a reported bug, so you do not need to report it again.

Is there a 64 bit edition of Thunderbird?

Just wanted to know if there is a 64 bit edition of this product.

And since there is no official Win64 builds of Firefox Releases yet it may take a while.
The 32-bit builds of Firefox and Thunderbird work on 64-bit Windows.

Folders on the IMAP server do not appear or appear in wrong location - those cannot be modified in Thunderbird because "they do not exist on server".

Hi all,
A few days ago, I moved 3 sub-folders within my Archive folder. I was doing those modifications using Thunderbird.
My Archive folder used to contain the following sub-folders:
Archive
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
I tried to move the folders A2014, B2014 and C2014 under the sub-folder LastYear, and created new A, B and C folders for 2015, so that it would be something like:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
/A2015
/B2015
/C2015
On the webmail interface, everything looks fine: the old A, B and C folders where moved into the Archives/LastYear folder, and the new A, B and C folders appear under Archives. However, on Thunderbird things are a bit more... strange.
Case 1: For some folders, things are as they should be.
Folders A2014 and B2014 were correctly moved into Archives/LastYear.
Folders A2015 and C2015 were correctly created in Archives.
Case 2: One folder does not appear at all - anymore.
Folder B2015 does not appear anywhere - despite being visible on the webmail interface. It does not appear in the list of folders to synchronize. No .msf file appear. Nothing happens if I try creating it again.
Note that it briefly existed after I created it, but stopped appearing a few hours later.
Case 3: One folder appears in the wrong location and cannot be accessed.
Folder C2014 appears in the old location (Archives) and not were it should be (and is on the webmail interface), that is Archives/LastYear. I cannot perform any operation on it in Thunderbird, I systematically get the following error message:
"The current operation on 'C2014' did not succeed. The mail server for account <AccountName> responded: "Archives/C2014" doesn't exist."
(Which is correct because according to the server the folder C2014 is in Archives/LastYear).
The C2014.msf file is also wrongly located, but moving it to the correct location did not change anything: the next time Thunderbird was started, the wrongly located .msf file was re-created.
Thunderbird does not show the emails contained in this folder - when I try loading them I get the previous error message.
Using the same style than before, here is how my Archives folder look right now:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/A2015
/C2015
/C2014
I am totally flabbergasted, I have no idea of where the problem is. I tried various fixes found on forums (such as playing around with the .msf files), but no luck so far. Any idea?
A few more details:
- I use an IMAP server.
- This is a professional address, and I have little control on it.
- I use Thunderbird with this account on two different computer, the problem is identical on both computers.
- I tried removing/re-installing the account from Thunderbird, it did not change anything.
I would be eternally grateful if any of you could come up with a solution!
Many many thanks,
Agnes

I know my files downloaded through Firefox won't appear in my downloads folder because that is just supported by Safari
No, I think that Apple just assigned the Downloads folder to Safari to send things there by default. You can do the same with Firefox, just go to the Firefox Preferences, click on main, tick the "Save files to..." and click the Choose button, then navigate to /Users/yourname/Downloads and click choose. I have always had all my Internet applications download things to a Downloads folder I keep at the root level of the drive (so all users can access them), but I just changed the Firefox pref to the new Apple Downloads folder and it worked fine.

Lightning 1.0 build for the Thunderbird 3b4 build for Solaris 10?

I use Thunderbird as my primary email client because quite frankly the version of Evolution in Solaris 10 is awful.
I posted to the mozilla.support.calendar list over in google groups some months ago asking what happened to the Solaris builds of Lightning
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.calendar/browse_thread/thread/12e27450b2cc67e0/7877dde2ace2ebf2
Essentially they said Sun used to provide servers to build Lightning on and now they don't. What does it take to get Sun to provide those again?
Evolution 1.46 is atrocious. 1999 called and wants there email client back....
The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. 0.9 still works with Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird 3 while still in beta is already so much better than Thunderbird 2, but it requires Lightning 1.0 builds. You can download Sun contributed builds of Thunderbird and Firefox from the mozilla releases site. Why not build recent Lightning builds so people can actually use their Sun calendar with the Sun contributed version of Thunderbird?

A similar question was asked w.r.t. 64-bit Linux builds:
"Dan, regarding 64bit nightlys, this is somewhat dependant on Thunderbird itself having 64 bit nightlys. We will surely have contrib builds with 64 bits for releases though."
The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. The project has not hit 1.0 release (or beta) yet.

When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
Thanks..

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..
Harv..

Last opened email subject is shown when opening email with many destination addresses

Platform IPAD2 64Gb, OS version 4.3.5 (8L1), English default language.
Issue: email subject field contents not showing correctly.
Today I received on my gmail account an email that was targeted explicitely to a group of over 60 addresses, all of them together in the "to:" field.
on the left part of the screen I can properly see a part of the right subject of the email.
If I access another email, then open that one, the wrong subject of the last opened email is shown in the right part of the screen, just under the long recipient list, and before the correctly shown date time and content.
This happens consistently, and whatever other email I decide to open, its subject is shown in place of the right one.
While having that email opened, if I kill the email application (doubleclicking home and then killing the mail icon), and then relaunch email, the email opens immediately, and the subject is correctly shown.
I also had cases in which an attachment was not shown in the email, despite being there, and being visible as a clip icon on the left part of the screen (but this is a different issue).

Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

EVE-ONLINE and WINE 1.3.20-1

Eve Online exits and terminates while using WINE 1.3.20-1 -- if you move/resize windows.
This probably should be posted on the WINEHQ bug thingy, but I posted it here too incase others are getting issues.
WINE 1.3.19-2 is what I had to revert/roll-back too.
XFCE4 64-bit w/ wine (using "WINEARCH=win32 winecfg" to config wine)

yeah, i can confirm this. its happening to me too.

IMAP sent mail help

Hello,
Can somebody help me understand what IMAP is doing with my sent mail? I switched over to IMAP from POP a month or two ago, and things still aren't really right.
I'm trying to get it so that I see the same inbox and 'sent' mail lists from my computer at work, at home, and on the iphone. The inbox seems OK, but sent mail is really not.
On my computer here at work, in Mac mail, there is the 'Sent' group at the top with the paper airplane icon. Then at the bottom there is another group called [email protected], which is the email address in question. Within that group is a 'Sent' folder and a 'Sent Messages' folder.
The messages in all three of these folders are different. Also, when I login to my ISP's webmail for this account, it has a 'Sent mail' folder--those messages match the ones in 'Sent' under '[email protected]' on the mac.
Then there's the phone -- the account settings allow me to set the 'Sent' box to various folders 'On the Server'. There's 'Sent', 'Sent Messages' and 'Sent Mail'. But within the mail app itself, there are TWO folders called 'Sent' -- one with an airplane and one as a folder. There's also a folder called 'Sent Mail'. But no 'Sent Messages'. AAAAAAAAAGH
wft is going on. I just want them to be all the same, one sent mail folder, is that possible? What do I need to do? I don't want to screw it up and lose years of old sent messages either.
Thanks very much for anyone who can make this a little clearer for me.
Bob

Your ISP's webmail is putting your sent mail in the folder called "sent mail." You have Apple Mail on your desktop set to put mail that has been sent into a folder labeled "sent." So you have 2 folders on your server, "sent mail" and "sent." Since you can change the folder on your mac and probably can't change the folder choice for webmail, change the folder for mail that has been sent by Apple Mail from "sent" to "sent mail." Or, track both on your desktop.
If you are just starting out on IMAP, unless you are using canned IMAP such as Gmail, Apple has never figured out how to do IMAP right. I am going back to Thunderbird, which though a bit geeky, handles IMAP much better. Check my old posts if you want to hear some recent Apple Mail horror stories.

TS3276 Mail has started sending duplicates of a message, especially group messages. It also opens 2 windows for writing a new email. Help.

Hide "from" addresses when forwarding message

I get many messages that I want to forward to another recipient, but I want to hide the string of other addressees who sent it or forwarded it to me. I have tried simply deleting some of the info, but there are so many codes and links showing that I'm not sure what to delete.

I'd try turning it onto its head; select the stuff you definitely DO want to forward, then copy and paste into a new message.
Or, and this may be counterintuitive, select the part you're interested in and hit Reply To Sender. It will copy just the selected text into a new message, leaving you just the task of removing that one address from the addressing box. I'd be wary of this approach, as it will carry a link back to the previous message. Under some circumstances, this can lead to apparently unrelated messages being added to a thread.
Unfortunately there's no easy or automatic way for a program such as Thunderbird to know which bits you do and don't want to include in your forwarded message.
