You should also back up %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Mozilla and %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Thunderbird (since some data, like thumbnails and cache are stored there). The same applies to custom settings, since they can be no longer supported\removed in newer versions (just like about 3 years ago…).īy default, on Windows, your profiles are located in %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla and %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird. Yes, there is a risk, for example, some extensions you use may no longer work in newer version (like when Firefox Quantum was released, in 2017). So, it is wise to create backup of your profile first (it also applies to Thunderbird). However, if you update, Firefox and downgrade it, it will not allow you to use your current user profile on older version (to prevent damaging data) and you will need to create new one, “loosing” your data like saved passwords, bookmarks, browsing history, changes in config etc.

Of course, you can always uninstall the current version and install older (if you do not have older installer, just download the desired version installer from or and install.). Well, the is no such option in neither Firefox nor Thunderbird to revert/rollback update.

That seems to update itself automatically, so I think that is up to date.Īny other suggestions on how to harden these laptops (I know – time to just admit that I need to replace the Win 7 soon) to be sure that security is as up to date as it can be. I also use Chrome for some sites that just don’t seem to like Firefox (like AW – LOL).

I plan to do a full backup of both laptops, along with setting restore points, and saving emails and bookmarks as noted above before doing anything, but would appreciate any tips on other things to do before attempting this.Īnd, would there be a way to roll back the versions for either one if I don’t like the interface? I had a glimpse of Firefox v93 and really didn’t like it, which is why I am still on v88. Since these both would be fairly “large” updates – would they be done in several stages, or would it go from the versions I have now to the most current version? Would there be any risk of losing data – emails, addresses, bookmarks, settings, etc in doing any upgrades? Or any other risks of these programs not working for some reason? How would I save a copy of all of the emails from TB to be able to restore those if there is a problem with the installation of the updates? Same thing for bookmarks in FF – where would I find those to be able to save and restore? They both use Thunderbird, v68.12.0 for the Win 10, and 68.12.1 for the Win 7. I also have Malwarebytes AntiExploit free on both.īoth laptops are running Firefox – v88.0 for the Win 10 and v88.0.1 for the Win 7. Both laptops use ESET – the AV on the Win 7 and the Internet Security on the Win 10. I also have a Win 7 Home Premium laptop that is patched through 0Patch, and hasn’t gotten any MS updates since they stopped supporting it.

My specs: I have a Win 10 Pro laptop, v 21H2 that is current on MS updates. These are both somewhat out of date, and given the sensitive nature of recent events, I thought maybe it was time to get them up to date so that there aren’t any possible security issues. Hello! I have a few questions about updating Firefox and Thunderbird on two laptops, and hoped to get a little guidance.
