Last night I decided to change from TB52.9.1 to 60. Mostly no problem, other than a frantic search, eventually successful, to find a version of Theme Font & Size Changer that works in it. But I have one problem.
If I open the Add-ons manager and go to Get Add-ons, anything I click on and any search I try to do opens in Firefox instead of Thunderbird's own browser - which means I have to search for extensions and themes in Firefox and then try to download them as xpi files to install manually in Thunderbird as if they were externally hosted rather than just being able to install them directly from the add-on page in Thunderbird. This is ... aggravating. This didn't happen in TB52, and I'm not aware of having changed any settings at all other than related to my attempts to get the TB display font size up to what it been again.
Is there some configuration setting I need to change to get Thunderbird opening links from the Get Add-ons page in its own browser again, or is this a known bug? Any help appreciated.

When I delete an attachment from an email, the email is still flagged as having an attachment in the 'Attachments' column of the Thread pane. Compacting the folder doesn't help.
Is there any way to remove this flag, or to change its appearance?

Only the easy function dosn´t exist to change the order of accounts - why!
Again and again I read that you should install an add-on and change it with it, TB has almost as FF an absurdly high RAM consumption, and there you should install more add-ons to make something trivial as the order to change the accounts?
Why are TB still missing such simple functions as sorting accounts, deleting duplicate folders, no longer displaying deleted aliases, finally clearing "deleted" junk folders from the trash?
These are all problems that annoy not only me, but many. Just because the programmers have such interests, you can not ignore that for years (these are questions that were asked years ago). There are e.g. also other countries in the world, not only England and America - accordingly there are e.g. in Germany then "Sent items" and "Gesendet" - you can adjust it but what should be used, but you can not delete the unused...
Myself and many many others would be very happy if these problems finally became a thing of the past.
Kind regards a frustrated TB user

Hi there -- I'm using Thunderbird 52.9.1 IMAP on my macbook (capitan) and am having some serious issues with storage.
I received the dreaded "Your startup disk is almost full" notification and ran Disk Inventory X. Seems mail under Thunderbird is taking up a massive amount of space on my machine.
I went into Account Settings->Sync & Storage and modified the setting from "synchronize all messages locally" to "synchronize the most recent" and set it to 3 months. However, I'm not seeing a change in the size of these huge files after this setting is changed, even after restarting thunderbird.
Relevant (?) side note: a number of months back, I had to re-download thunderbird and set up my email again, however, I noticed that my search function was not what it used to be -- keywords that I used to search for to find old mails were not turning up any results and I couldn't figure out why. After playing around with the sync settings, I just realized that "Inbox" and "Sent" were not even being downloaded, which compounds my confusion as to why these files named "INBOX" and "sent" are so massive on my machine when I run Disk Inventory.
As you can probably tell, I'm not too savvy when it comes to this stuff so any help is greatly appreciated. I'm wondering if I delete thunderbird and start all over, resetting all the settings as I want them, if that will do the trick without messing anything up...??
Help!

Hi,
I've tried to add Google Search as the TBird 60 default search engine. To no avail, I've added the Google Search for TBird.XPI, and I've followed the instructions in the FAQ (create folder, add google.html, delete json). I've also posted this as a bug. Does anybody have any other ideas?

How can I remove the background color setting from the HTML email composition, so that the email is sent without a specified background color?

I prefer a "dark" theme, but I don't want to inflict my preferences on my colleagues who read emails in a "light" themed context, so I do not want to set a composition background for my emails as a "dark" background. At the same time, if I configure my email composition to use a white background, once sent, that setting overrides my preference for a dark-themed experience, and makes it headache-inducing to reference my own emails.
Emails that my colleagues send to me, and emails I send via our webmail interface, do not have this issue because they do not explicitly identify a background color. I would like to cause Thunderbird to similarly not specify default, email-wide colors, ideally for both background and foreground in HTML compositions, but no such option is available in the Composition preferences.
