How to remove google search from the address bar on the right?????

I want to find my most visited websites in the address bar without any unnecessary actions!!!

Can I use thunderbird with multiple accounts on multiple PC's and stay synchronised?

I have two PC's i want to set up - it seems like i have to create a new account for a second PC rather than pick up the account set up from the first PC.

Since updating Thunderbird 64 bit to v147.0.2, then to v148.0 (1st March 2026, just now), requesting the display of 'Unified Folders' (in Folder Modes) does not populate the unified Inbox with messages from any of my eight registered email inbox sources. The individual inboxes with their contents can be displayed below, but not in the unified Inbox.

Since being introduced several versions ago, I have found this feature very useful when checking my various received emails, and it is frustrating to be without it.

Can anyone suggest what I may or may not be doing to get this feature to work any more? I have been all through Settings, but cannot find anything relevant to this problem.

Cheers, Sam

Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

Version 148 recently installed as auto update and problem seems contemperaneous to that.

My Home page is set to show only the Firefox "search the web" as an entry box in the screen centre, but will no longer allow any input: instead the awesomebar (aka address bar) shows on the tool bars at top of screen and accepts/displays the entry. I wish to revert to the simpler display.

I thought the solution lay within the advanced preferences that can be accessed (via app:config) and the value of the awesome bar changed. However tthe awesomebar preference is the only one shown for which there is no setting at all. Edit brings nothing up. There is a delete bin symbol available.

Can anybody explain what is going on and how to rectify this situation, please?

I am installing Tbird on a Windows 10 instance that I am recovering from backup. There is a default profile that contains a folder for a user in an IMAP domain that no longer exists. Tbird won't start and just spins with a message about a missing IMAP user.

I copied the profile to another backup folder. And then uninstalled and re-installed TB. The "AppData > Roaming > Thunderbird > Profiles" folder(s) are still there but empty. When I start TB it says: "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." The old email is not important now. Should I delete more folders in AppData, or what should I do next?

I JUST TRIED TO OPEN A DOWNLOADED EMAIL AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I WAS TOLD TO ENTER THE PASSWORD TO OPEN THE PDF FILE I TRIED ADOBE ACROBAT AND THEN TRIED MOZILLA WHAT PASSWORD ARE THEY ASKING FOR, WHERE CAN I FIND IT THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THE LAST MOZILLA UPDATE

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS PERFORMANCE AND CONNECTIVITY . MONTHS AGO ALL MY LOGIN AND PASSWORD INFORMATION WAS REMOVED. i HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START INSTALLING THOSE THAT I COULD BY ADDING THOSE I COULD BUT HUNDREDS WERE NOT AVAILABLE . AND MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN WORKING KIND OF OK JUST RECENTLY I NOTICED AN UPDATE TO MY COMPUTER HAPPENED AND IT IS NOT WORKING VERY WELL

I CAN BE REACHED AT [edited phone #] OR AT [edited email and phone# from community support forum]

A "send later" button came up one morning instead of the usual "send" button. When I clicked on the write button to see where the "send" button was, several choices came up but when I clicked on the "write" choice I lost the other choices and now can't get back to the original write button and still no "send" button appears anywhere on the menu. I can save messages to Draft but still can't actually send them. I can still receive emails, just can't send them! Help!

Updating my Address Book in Thunderbird v148. The darned thing does not permit two people to have the same email address or phone number - pain in the "A" to say the least !

Okay, I currently have two issues going on, both repercussions from transferring Thunderbird to my new computer. I'll limit this post to one issue!

My transfer to the new computer was not taking; followed instructions but no profiles were loading. I thought that perhaps this was due to my initial problematic installation of T-bird decades ago, where I eventually wound up with a choose-user-profile panel that worked fine with its default setting...so I lived with that easily (see image). Thinking that this was causing the inability to load profiles on the new machine, I tested whether I could delete the never-used profiles in that panel. After just one deletion, that resulted in the "Couldn't load XPCOM" error described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1360766 Following the instructions on that page to do a repair installation (to the letter), starting T-bird now results in the attached "profile missing or inaccessible" message.

Please advise: Am I doomed?

Thanks for any honest advice. (yes, my Thunderbird installation is big: seven or eight addresses, many local folders, a large history and archives.)

I've been using color settings in userChrome.css to set the colors for the threads and folder panes... I obtained these settings from a discussion in the Thunderbird Beta mailing list, back in 2023. Here are my current settings:

root {

 /* Force BG in unthemed folder */
 --foldertree-background: #A99B92 !important;
 /* Force BG in threads */
 --tree-view-bg: #A99B92 !important;
 /* Force black text in threads */
 --tree-view-color: #000 !important;

} /* Position Menu Bar above Unified Toolbar */

1. toolbar-menubar { order: -1 !important;}

However, after the most recent beta update, the tree-view settings are no longer working, and I'm stuck once again with the ghastly Bright White background... see the attached image; note that the foldertree setting is still working though...

What do I need to do, to get this code working again? or is this a bug in the current beta?
