When Thunderbird 78.9.1 is the active window on my MacBook Pro running Big Sur 11.2.3, I don't get any visual notification banners for incoming mail, even 'though I hear the notification sound. If any other program window is active, I get both the visual notification banner and the notification sound upon incoming mail. I've checked notification options in both Thunderbird & Mac OS preferences, but can't see anything wrong... Any suggestions to getting both visual and sound notifications when Thunderbird is the active window?
