When I click on a folder with multiple messages, each of which has a thread with multiple messages, all of the threads are automatically expanded. If I collapse each message thread, leave that folder, then return to that folder, all of the message threads are again fully expanded.

Is there a way to stop this automatic thread expansion each time a folder is opened?

I've tried every View combination, but I can't get back to the way I had it! 😣

Would appreciate some help, please.

Hello, I usually redirect incoming email automatically to custom local subfolders (POP account).

Today I noticed that, since october 2024, my Message Filters started copying emails, instead of moving them, despite the still-correct instruction. So I'm left with a bunch of duplicates.

Does anyone know how to fix this bug?

Hello

Is there a way to have the TAB function in an email message body with an option to produce a string of dots, instead of just a blank space? I would particularly love to have it line up subsequent rows on the accounting decimal point when the $ sign is used.

EG with a list of expenditures:

Home Depot .....................$50.00 Office Depot ...................$200.00 Starbucks...........................$37.50

Hope this makes sense! thanks Baz

So I draft the mail on Notepad++ and no more line breaks like we see here. Is that something I can do in Thunderbird do in setttings? I am not able to find how?

Regards, Karan

Note: I have attached a snaoshot drafting the same note as above on the Thunderbird client to show my issue.

Hello.

I have a specific inbox from which I would like to ignore notifications. I have downloaded the NTFNTF extension, which helps with notifications, but I still see the little red bubble with the total number of unread e-mails next to the application icon (I'm on macOS, see the supposedly-attached screenshot). Is there a way to have this indicator only show unread e-mails from a specific inbox, even if the solution requires installing an extension? Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I wanted to customize my Firefox new tab with a local HTML file, such as "/path/to/my/index.html". It was possible to use this workaround: https://github.com/Jangsoodlor/Firefox-New-Tab-Config/tree/main https://github.com/Jangsoodlor/Firefox-New-Tab-Config/tree/main

Which implied a configuration file (sometimes named "autoconfig.cfg", "firefox.cfg", "local-settings.cfg" depending on the guide since the name is arbitrary) with javascript code. In the new Firefox 136, this code fails to execute due to a new API being used.

If you want to customize your new tab, follow the previous guide, but on the configuration file write this code instead:

// My new tab
try {
  const ff = {};
  ChromeUtils.defineESModuleGetters(ff, {AboutNewTab: "resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.sys.mjs"});
  ff.AboutNewTab.newTabURL = 'file:///path/to/my/index.html';
} catch (e) {ChromeUtils.reportError(e);}

Note that the file must start with a comment

Adapting the "/path/to/my/index.html" to your needs.

Thanks to @mkaply (github) on this thread https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/discussions/1190 for the new API method.

I post this here in case someone has the same issue, because is quite recent and hard to find on the internet.

Last week my usually reliable 'Thunderbird 115.8.01 on iMac 10.13.6 has suddenly gone haywire.

* In the folder pane, multiple folder duplicates reappearing even after deleting them. (See images) * And when I delete messages, they appear in the trash folder, only to disappear and repeatedly reappear - back into the message INBOX. * Also, after making a change in the Notification section to turn off the notice sound, and although the sound turned off, so did the auto-disappear function. Now I have to manually "close" each and ALL notification notices one-by-one. The new problem is: now the notification option section has disappeared in settings. (No image for this one. Nothing there!) Bug? Or something else?

Please help. P.S. I ran both of my antivirus programs twice. Each over different days and both declared' my system clear and clean.

Hi folks

I have a particularly infuriating problem. A few weeks back, Firefox stopped displaying my usernames and passwords whenever I wanted to log into a site. This coincided with my installing BitDefender, although I don't know why.

Through googling I eventually realised I could go into about:config to fix this. signon.rememberSignons displays as false, when I turn it to true it fixes the issue.

But here is the problem I can't solve. Everytime I restart firefox or my PC / Mac (I am using both, with a syncronised account on both windows and MacOS) it sets signon.rememberSignons to false AGAIN. Which means every single time I browse I have to go into about:config and fix this. Maddening.

Please can you help?

The font size in "Manage Bookmarks" is way too large, both in the sections list menu on the left and the list of bookmarks. I checked my userChrome.css file as well as the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx entry in about:config and there's nothing there to explain why only the "Manage Bookmarks" text is so large.

It's possible I changed a setting somewhere that's causing this. But I'm stumped re: what setting might be controlling the font size in only that UI. All other Firefox text sizes are good.

Thanks to anyone who knows where I should be looking

Thanks to the help received here and in the Reddit group I've been able to transfer almost all of my old colour and layout tweaks to a new intallation of Firefox (v133) on a new PC (running Windows 10). There's one thing that I haven't succeeded with though: I'd like to change the colour of the text in a tab when that tab becomes the active one.

This is the coding I'm using to change the tab's background colour when it's selected:

  1. TabsToolbar .tab-background[selected]{

background: white !important; }

This works perfectly. But when I tried adding the line

color: black !important;

It had no effect. I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.
