Before upgrading to the Beta version, account settings was popping up but only as a small window I couldn't do anything in at the bottom. After the upgrade, the tiny box moved to the top of the screen. How do I make it regular size again? Picture attached. Already restarted Thunderbird and computer a ew times.

Sorry, it wouldn't attach when I was posting.

I don't know why that would have happened.

I know of one way to adjust the height of that window, which I used on a particular laptop with a widescreen aspect ratio that was a bit less tall than usual. I discovered that I could limit the height of the accounts window using this code in userChrome.css.

/* set min size for Account Settings pane */
#accountManager {
  min-height: 52em !important;
}

Of course adjust the 52em to whatever fits your needs.

I have no idea how to do that and don't know anything about code, or what size I would need. Is there another solution?

Does it look the same in safe mode? Hold Option when you launch TB, or Help/Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Do you have 'Use hardware acceleration...' checked or unchecked in Preferences/Options/Advanced/General?
