Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird on Windows and Linux for years, and I'm very happy there.

I just bought a nice Chromebook with an i5, 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD.

Chomeos installs a container of Debian Linux 11 and supports flatpak apps too.

I've tried using the debian apt install thunderbird and the Flatpak version too. Mostly 115.*.

I can't get any extensions to install directly, or after downloading the .xpi file. Thunderbird never lets you click on the last button to get the extension to install. Thunderbird must be force closed.

So, my success has been to choose debug extensions, and install the file as temporary. THIS WORKS! The extensions load and operate perfectly.

The downer is I'm having to re-install the temporary addons every time I run Thunderbird.

I'm willing to do some extended troubleshooting, debugging, upload logs, pics, whatever you folks need to provide a solution for this.

I'll install whatever beta/daily versions there are in order to get this resolved for everyone with a Chromebook. It seems there are lots of other folks with Chrome OS Linux that can't load extensions.

It is "technically" I think a Linux virtual machine or as they call it a container.

I have lots of other Linux apps running happily. Libre Office runs great, as do video editors, etc...

I'm even willing to do a screencast video reproducing the problem. I'll do that later on. I'll post a link to the video so experts can watch exactly what happens. A 2 minute video is often better than text.

If anyone wants to do remote debugging, or connect, or have me set up adb debugging I will do that also.

Anyway, let me know exactly what additional information is needed.

I'll post a short video in a bit.

Thanks.

I know this may not interest you, but it really bothers me that I can't share the page with sound. Please help me if possible or add such an option. For now, unfortunately, I have to use other browsers that have these functions. Regards

Why is the VIEW menu missing the ability to turn off threads? Hate threads, always have, stupid idea. Sorry, but no. Where can I completely disable threads? I upgraded to 115 beta and all my accounts now have 'threads'... FML.

tell me how to undo "troubleshoot mode", read the "help" article, do not understand.

tell me how to undo the "More from Mozilla" in about:preferences. I have NO idea.

I try, but I am usually confused by these help articles.

I have read through all 3 of the following posts linked below on this issue, and cant make it out.

I am trying to move the find bar to the top of firefox. Tried the really long codes suggested, and the short ones. Yes, I enabled "true" in the config settings. Added the chrome folder and text file, I think in the right section. Restarted firefox lots of times upon each code I tried, still not working.

Any ideas? thanks!

I don't see the solution to my questions. I have trouble READING and thus, I cannot see all the tiny answers!!! Is there not some SIMPLE solution to make all font BOLD in incoming email? I cannot see to search and sift through so many useess answers. I need exact, step by step, instructions. I don't know why this should be so difficult since so many people have visual handicaps. PLEASE HELP.

I am using Thunderbird v. 115.5.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

In this version, they got the crazy idea that the dialog should be displayed in threads.

The crazy thing is that when the thread is folded, you can't see now that there are new replies to this thread unless you unfold it.

I check "Not in threads" under the menu item "View" and "Sorted by". But for some reason, a serious bug I think, this notch is automatically changed back to "In Threads".

I am NOT interested in seeing my dialogue in threads as you can overlook new replies because you cannot see the marked subject line in a collapsed thread.

How do I make Thunderbird stop showing in threads, permanently?

New version of Thunderbird keeps grouping messages in topics, If I change option to not group in View-> Order By -> Not Group it works for some time and then groups messages again.

On FF 120.0.1 and Tab Reloader 0.6.1

I have FF set up with 7 tabs as home page, 6 of the tabs have tab reloader set to reload ever 1 hour. This has worked fine for years, the tab reload for the 6 tabs were saved after restarting FF. I didn't have to go back and tell tab reloader to reload after restarting FF. Maybe once and a while one tab didn't get the reload saved on a restart, usually always the same one.

Now when I restart FF none of the tabs have saved the setting to reload every 1 hour.

This has been going on for the last 2 releases of FF updates and there hasn't been any updates for tab reloader. Does anyone know why this is happening, I haven't changed anything in settings. I did uncheck hardware acceleration to see if that would fix another issue, but tabs weren't reloading after restart prior to that change on hardware accelation.

Hi,

It hard to explain what I mean so I recorded video, link is below. I want Firefox to behaves the same as Chrome. So as you can see, when I use address field for quick search then pop-up appears with search results. And I click on these search results with middle mouse button. But on Chrome it works normally and on Firefox not. I am redirected to just opened tab what is really annoying. I must go back, input the same if I want open several result. How to change this behaviour to achieve the same what I have in Chrome?

Chrome Firefox Serach Behaviour

Also it’s exactly the same when it comes to bookmarked pages in a folder on the bookmark bar. When we click folder with bookmarks we have dropdown menu with bookmarked web pages from this folder. And when I click something with middle mouse button then page opens in new tab but this dropdown menu disappears, and again I must click folder when I want open more sites. In chrome it doesn’t. How to set it the same for this?

I'm using Firefox on a Fedora system. As shown in the picture, the first Firefox Project below the address bar is pinned there. I searched and searched in the settings, but still couldn't find a way to remove it. I didn’t pin this address myself. Firefox on Fedora did it itself. In time, I switched to Firefox on the Windows, and after logging in to the account, it also synced out.

I ran Thunderbird - p to get the list of Profiles and renamed my Profile SuperNova to DA.

However, when I checked the Profile name in C:\Users\david\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, the name is not DA but is still SuperNova so can someone tell me why it has not renamed the profile?

Thanks.

I have created sub-folders under the inbox and then created filters to "move" incoming emails from the inbox to one of the appropriate sub-folders. However, while that worked in the past, now while it does take the incoming email and transfers it to the sub-folder, it is leaving emails in the inbox, in effect doing a copy and not a move. As no indicator or the email number appeared next to the inbox, it wasn't until I actually clicking on the inbox where I found almost 1,000 emails there that I had already managed from the sub-folders. I have double checked the message filters, and it definitely indicates to move the emails, not copy.

Hey Guys!!

Brand-new Member here. LOVE the Program! Couple questions, It is Sorting by the 'Oldest' messages, how do I switch the Ascending/descending so that I can see the New messages, at the Top?

Also, there was a Widget, below the three lines and the "- [ ] X" buttons in the Top right Corner. It had Something to do with the View of All messages, I toggled it off to see what it does and now it is GONE... how do I get that 'View Options' button back? I liked it better before, it had Senders name, Time-and-Date, and other views Separated

Thanks, in Advance! William

Is it possible to set the folders pane "on top of" the messages pane?

This could be very useful in screens on portrait mode or very large screens where you use Thunderbird on just a small "slice" of the screen.

Thanks

In "Server Settings" I found the "Message Store Type" option. At the moment it is set to "File per folder (mbox)" but it is somehow "disabled" (I cannot change its value and cannot even see what other values are available for this option).

What values are available for it? How can I change its value?

Thanks

I've set custom fonts through Settings > Fonts > Advanced, but the fonts I have specified are not being used on any websites even if I uncheck the box that says "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above". For example, I've set the default sans serif to Source Sans 3, but websites use Arial regardless of the settings. The only custom font I've gotten to work is Segoe UI (the UI font on Windows); all other just fall back to Arial. The problem persists even if I disable all extensions/add-ons. I'm also experiencing the problem for non-Latin scripts; I've tried to set the default Bengali font to Noto Sans Bengali, but websites are using Vrinda instead.

I'm running Firefox version 120.0 on Windows 11, any help is greatly appreciated!
