UE-V Firefox esr 91 and Thunderbird 91

Hi together

 

we use UE-V to synchro profiles

 

so i have following ue-v template for firefox and thunderbird and this will not sync anymore with the new version 91 and since this summer with the version 78.

 

other ue-v tempalte will work without any problem, like office, chrome, edge etc.

 

i have the problem with windows 10 ltsc 2019 and windows 10 21h1 either

</SettingsLocationTemplate>

 

 

in the debug log from ue-v can we read following errors.

 

[Microsoft-User Experience Virtualization-App Agent]Packager: PackageFileException - [Package creation failed:

 

 

do some other guys have the same issue?

 

regards

    hi jackjack88 

     

    yes we use 

     

    <Processes>
        <ShellProcess/>
      </Processes>

     

    instead of 

     

    <Processes>
        <Process>
          <Filename>thunderbird.exe</Filename>
        </Process>
      </Processes>

     

    this works for us.

    Hi may, I have a question, how do you make working sync Firefox bookmarks through UE-V? I am not able to do that. Browser settings (like Dark mode etc.) is working, but bookmarks not.

     

    Thank you!

        I am using this configuration, I tried it once, it was synced, bookmarks was on both devices. Then I tried to create a new bookmark and it remained on only one device, but when I tried it with password, it was synced on both devices... So I am little bit confused, why bookmarks not working, but password does...

         

        Thank you for your help!
