How to open SHLB file?
The most common problem when using Mozilla is that a specific SHLB is not associated with the program. This causes the file SHLB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SHLB file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Mozilla Thunderbird
In this case, you should first verify that the Mozilla Thunderbird application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Mozilla Thunderbird into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SHLB with Mozilla Thunderbird. Below you will find a list of applications that support SHLB files.
Programs to open SHLB file
Remember to download programs supporting SHLB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mozilla Thunderbird with SHLB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SHLB file still does not use the Mozilla Thunderbird program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mozilla Thunderbird application as the default for handling the SHLB file.
Step 3. Update Mozilla Thunderbird to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Mozilla Thunderbird program, it is possible that Mozilla requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mozilla Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SHLB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SHLB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SHLB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SHLB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SHLB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SHLB files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mozilla Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SHLB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SHLB file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SHLB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SHLB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
