I recently moved thunderbird from my Win 7 laptop to a new laptop with Win11. All was OK for awhile. One day all of my Local Folders were no longer in alphabetical order. Some folders, like Outbox are under Local Folders. Is there a fix? Please don’t tell me to uninstall and re-install.

I want to delete Preview Links. I tried going to Settings>General>Browsing, however, there is no "Browsing" section. I have a Linux Mint. I do NOT want Preview Links. Thank you.

Over the past few updates, I’ve noticed an issue with Firefox where it no longer restores my previous session when reopening the browser.

I normally keep four tabs pinned and about five additional tabs open for browsing and work. In the past, I could simply click the X to close Firefox, and when I reopened it, all my tabs that are pinned and unpinned would automatically come back. Recently, this stopped happening. Now, if I close Firefox, it opens with a fresh window instead of restoring my previous tabs.

I’ve already checked the setting under General/Startup, and Open previous windows and tabs is enabled. Because of this issue, I avoid closing Firefox entirely, since rebuilding all my tabs each time has become a hassle.

Is there a way to fix this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

I have Thunderbird on another PC that shows the incoming emails with the contents with the contents displayed under the email list, yet on my new PC I cannot seem to get that setting. I have to double click an email and it opens a new tab. I have used your help and also YouTube to no avail.

Hello all,

I installed Thunderbird for Android beta at my smartphone. After importing my account from the desktop version of Thunderbird I don't see the subfolders of my inbox. How can I show subfolders in the app for Android?

Kindest regards

When copying and pasting from one application to another, by using Ctrl + Shift + V to paste without format to Google Docs, I keep getting a "Paste" pop up that I've never gotten until now. It keeps getting in the way and I don't see a way to remove it.

It's making copying and pasting very difficult and is driving me up the wall.

I have split viewing pane, but the preview on the right has an overlap so I can't see / preview the email. I have tried all "layout" choices but still can't get that line to go away so I can view who it is from AND the message. I have tried everything I know but that line remains.

i have no use for the 'profile' tab on the tool bar, how do i perminately remove it? i can not drag it to overflow, it drags the entire toolbar. very frustrationg. also i have no need or use for 'open in split view' in the right click menu. all both of these things do is clutter up the tool bars. please make it easier to remove these things.

I have firefox as my default browser but some of my app ( iphone 11) refuse to open . They always revert to Safari and dont open. I tried few tricks solutions offered online but to no avail. How can i force the apps to open via Firefox please

How do I reinstate notification of number of new emails in my taskbar icon? It has suddenly stopped showing this. I found the same question in 2023 but I don't understand the answer.

If I close a page which is at the bottom, the pop–up notification will prevent me from closing following pages at the bottom. To wait it to dissappear or to move it horizontally out (which takes a rather long distance for fingers, hope you can allow users to customize the distance) are inconvenient.

I have created several categories that I use to assign a color to each of my calendar event entries. When I do this, the event shows a very thing stripe of my assigned category color down the righthand side of the entry. I would REALLY like the entries to be colored entirely with my category colors rather than that tiny stipe. Is this feature available and if not, I am hoping it can be considered in the very near future.

Using Thunderbird version 140.8.0esr on Windows 10 . Been trying to reorganize local folders. Thunderbird is NOT correctly alphabetizing local folders. I've beaten myself to death googling for answers, and nearly every entry claims you can right click on the account name and select "Reset Folder Order" and it will take care of it.

there IS no such option! Anywhere!

Other answers claim you can drag the folders manually into the correct order. Not happening!

There must be a real answer to this issue. Where do I find it? And please don't advise upgrading to Windows 11 - this CPU/motherboard won't support 11.

I know nothing about the dev options for Internet settings and minor turned on and it says the remote server is set to production. No flipping idea what this is. Can somebody please help me?

I set the Visible Message Actions to Delete and Move.

But I get Delete and Mark as Unread.

Move is far more important to me than Mark as Unread - why can't I see/control this?
