This article describes how to install Thunderbird on Mac. For other operating systems, see Installing Thunderbird on Windows and Installing Thunderbird on Linux.Before you install Thunderbird, check that your computer meets the System Requirements.

Open the Thunderbird free download page, which detects the platform and language of your computer and recommends the best edition of Thunderbird for you. Click the download link or button. (If you want to download Thunderbird in a language other than the one suggested, click on 'Other Systems & Languages' for the list of available editions. Click on the OS X installation of your choice to continue.)

Once the download is completed, the disk image may open by itself and mount a new volume which contains the Thunderbird application. If you do not see the new volume, double-click the Thunderbird dmg icon to open it. A Finder window appears, containing the Thunderbird application. Drag the Thunderbird icon to the Applications folder. Now eject the disk image by selecting it in a Finder window and pressing the command+E keys or by using the Finder's File menu, and selecting Eject.

The first time you start Thunderbird you will be alerted that it is not your default email application. (The default email application is the program that opens, for example, when you click a link on a web page to an email address.) If you want Thunderbird to be the default email application, click to set it as your default mailer. If not (for example if you are just trying out Thunderbird) click .

Common Problems

  • If you fail to install Thunderbird to the Mac applications, every time Thunderbird starts it will not have remembered your provious session settings - it will ask you to create email accounts, or otherwise indicate that it has no data. You must drag the Thunderbird dmg file/icon to the Mac Applications folder.

This document will help you get set up to build Firefox on your owncomputer. Getting set up can take a while - we need to download alot of bytes! Even on a fast connection, this can take ten to fifteenminutes of work, spread out over an hour or two.

Requirements¶

Mozilla para macbook

  • Memory: 4GB RAM minimum, 8GB+ recommended.

  • Disk Space: At least 30GB of free disk space.

  • Operating System: macOS 10.12 or later. It is advisable toupgrade to the latest “point” release.

1. System preparation¶

1.1. Install Brew¶

Mozilla Firefox Fo Macbook

Mozilla’s source tree requires a number of third-party tools.You will need to install Homebrew so that wecan automatically fetch the tools we need.

1.2. Install Xcode¶

Install Xcode from the App Store.Once done, finalize the installation in your terminal:

1.3 Install Mercurial¶

Mozilla’s source code is hosted in Mercurial repositories. You willneed Mercurial to download and update the code. Additionally, we’llput user-wide python package installations on the $PATH, so thatboth hg and moz-phab will be easily accessible:

Now, restart your shell so that the PATH change took effect.You can test that Mercurial is installed by running:

Note

If you’re using a shell other than zsh, you’ll need to manually add Python’sbin directory to your PATH, as your shell probably won’t pick up ourchanges in ~/.zshenv.

2. Bootstrap a copy of the Firefox source code¶

Now that your system is ready, we can download the source code and have Firefoxautomatically download the other dependencies it needs. The below commandwill download a lot of data (years of Firefox history!) then guide you throughthe interactive setup process.

Note

In general, the Firefox workflow works best with Mercurial. However,if you’d prefer to use git, you can grab the source code in“git” form by running the bootstrap script with the vcs parameter:

This uses Git Cinnabar under the hood.

Choosing a build type¶

If you aren’t modifying the Firefox backend, then then select one of theArtifact Mode options. If you arebuilding Firefox for Android, you should also see the GeckoView Contributor Guide.

3. Build¶

Now that your system is bootstrapped, you should be able to build!

🎉 Congratulations! You’ve built your own home-grown Firefox!

Now the fun starts¶

Mozilla Mac Os 9

Time to start hacking! You should join us on Matrix,say hello in the Introduction channel, and find a bug tostart working on.See the Firefox Contributors’ Quick Reference to learn how to test your changes,send patches to Mozilla, update your source code locally, and more.

Troubleshooting¶

macOS SDK is unsupported¶

If the SDK included with your Xcode installation is not supported by Firefox,you’ll need to manually install one that is compatible.We’re currently using the 10.12 SDK on our build servers, so that’s the one that youshould install:

  1. Go to the More Downloads for Apple Developers pageand download Xcode 8.2.

  2. Once downloaded, extract Xcode_8.2.xip.

  3. In your terminal, copy the SDK from the installer:

  1. Finally, inform the Firefox build about this SDK by creating (or editing) a file called mozconfig filein the Firefox source code directory. Add the following line:

  1. Now, you should be able to successfully run ./machbuild.
