I've been a long time supporter of Firefox and it's taken me a few years get all the bugs out of Win 7 so I'm not going to repeat that on Win X. My Win7_64 water cooled platform is overclocked, stable, and just as fast as most affordable new chipsets from Intel. I have third party security apps and firewall. I'm not downgrading to Windows X whatever later version that is and I'm considering other browser options, if anybody has ideas?

Although I'm on the ESR channel, I've been using User Agent Switcher for a while, which seems to work well on most sites. I also notice DuckDuckgo browser claims to support Win 7. I will miss Firefox, but switching to a Win7 supported browser would be my first option, then Linux if I have to dump Windows 7 for something else.

Developers will moan and say switch to Win X with the favorite phrase 'Upgrade' when my experience has been the opposite, but what do others feel who are using older versions of Windows?

I am using Thunderbird 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Kubuntu 25.10 multi-monitor configuration. New install, very little customization.

Thunderbird will not retain the window size or position for the main window or messages. I have have tried deleting both the xulstore.json and session.json files (one at a time and both). When I delete the xulstore.json file and restart Thurderbird, it starts maximized. When I set the position manually e.g. to use about 90% of the screen for the main window and about half the width and about 90% of height for a message window and then close Thurderbird I can see the new window size vales written into xulstore.json e.g 2493 x 1362 and 1501 x 1317 "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"2493","height":"1362"} "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"1501","height":"1317"}

When I close and restart thunderbird it reverts to opening in the center of the primary monitor at a smaller size than when I closed it. The values in xulstore.json have changed to 960 x 540 "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"960","height":"540"} "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"960","height":"540"}

I found a similar recent question if this helps with a possible solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1527783 but I cannot locate the referenced userChrome.css file to see if there might be something similar to try.

I am also using a multi-monitor setup. If I move the Thunderbird window to the second screen and close it, it always re-opens on the primary display at the 940x540 size. Thanks!

Von der Erstinstallation war ich gewohnt, dass von oben nach unten die Darstellung der Ordner wie folgt war: Posteingang / Entwurf / Gesendet / Archiv / Spam / Papierkorb / Local Folders /Postausgang / Unbekannt Nach der neuen Installation, die erforderlich war (Rechnerneuinstallation) ergab sich folgendes Bild von oben... Lokale Ordner / Papierkorb / Local Folders und dann alle meine selbst erstellten Ordner am Ende dieser Aufstellung kam die Zeile mit meiner web-Adresse xxxx.xx@web.de dann Posteingang usw. siehe oben aufgeführt Damit liegt der Posteingang am Ende meiner Ordner Auflistung und das ist über den unteren Monitorausschnitt hinaus, diese Situation ist für mich untragbar und deshalb werde ich wohl auf ein anderes e-mail Verwaltungsmedium umsteigen müssen. Eine Kopiermöglichkeit um die Ersteinstellung zu erreichen war kläglich gescheitert und jetzt ist das Durcheinander noch größer beste Grüße B. Bein

Hi!

I can't get messages from my Thunderbird account. When I click "Get messages" nothing happens and it usually says "Done" on the bottom left corner. I have to use my domain's webmail account to get my e-mail and it only allows me to read it and delete junk.

I really would love to have my Thunderbird account working again as soon as possible.

Thanks so much, Nancy Pedersen

Hello,

I have defined about 45 simple filters to get rid of spam. They are all based on keywords found in subject or sender.

All of them are enabled and set this way :

Apply filter when : _ Manually Run X Getting New Mail ( Filter before Junk Classification ) _ Archiving _ After sending _ Periodically, every 10 minutes.

Perform these actions : 1. Set Junk Status to : Junk 2. Move Message to : "super-junk" folder 3. Mark As Read

See example in attached image.

PROBLEM : They do not run automatically when new emails are received. But if I run each of them manually, they work.

QUESTION : What is wrong ?

Thanks !
