---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Ilias <n...@ilias.ca> Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2021 16:11:20 -0400 Subject: **THIS FORUM WILL BE SHUT DOWN SOON** To: mozilla-support-fire...@lists.mozilla.org *WHAT IS HAPPENING* Mozilla is shutting down the newsgroup server (news.mozilla.org) and mailing lists (list.mozilla.org). *WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN* lists.mozilla.org: April 3 news.mozilla.org: Sometime after April 3 *WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE* Because all posts to this newsgroup go through the mailing list, no messages will be approved after April 3. You will still be able to access news.mozilla.org, but there will be no new posts in this newsgroup after that. If you try to post a message, it will just not appear. Sometime after that, Giganews will shut down news.mozilla.org, and you will no longer be able to access the newsgroup. *WHERE TO FIND THE ARCHIVE* The archive of this newsgroup will be kept intact at https://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/ As with other newsgroups that have been shuttered in the past, the archive will be read-only. If you're using Thunderbird, you can also download all messages before the news server is shut down. 1. In your Local Folders account, create a new folder called "mozilla.support.firefox" 2. Open the newsgroup, then go to Edit-->Select-->All. 3. Go to Message-->Move_to-->Local_Folders-->mozilla.support.firefox NOTE: There are over 190,000 messages, so it will take a long time to download. You may want to select batches of messages instead of selecting all. *WHERE TO GO FOR SUPPORT* The primary Firefox support forum is at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/firefox?show=all Other languages can be found at https://support.mozilla.org/kb/get-community-support If you prefer newsgroups, there may be newsgroups on Usenet where you can find Firefox support. If not, try netscape.public.mozilla.browser. *WHY THIS IS HAPPENING* Mozilla has been migrating off of mailing lists and newsgroups for many years now. Many of the mailing lists have already closed down and moved to https://discourse.mozilla.org/ Even though a support web forum already exists, the support newsgroups/lists have remained open for the lifetime of the server. *WHERE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT* You can reply to this post, and I'll try to answer any questions. If you have questions after the shutdown, you can find me in the #firefox chat room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#firefox:mozilla.org or the #sumo chat room at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#SUMO:mozilla.org My display name on chat.mozilla.org is cilias -- Mailing list/Newsgroup moderator _______________________________________________ support-firefox mailing list support-fire...@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-firefox _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
