I am using TB 78.7.1 64bit on Linux Mint 20 and until recently it worked perfectly. It opened with the Inbox page just as I like it to do. Suddenly it has started to give me a flash of the Inbox immediately followed by the Preferences page. Changing the 'When TB starts ...' has no effect. Still preferences. I always sign off from the Inbox page so it should open there, but no. Can anyone help? Infuriating. I don't think I'm the only one, but I haven't been able to find a way out of this.

I suggest you close the preferences tab.

Thanks Matt but that is the problem. When I close the tab I get the inbox. But I don't want to have to do that every time I open TB and that is what happens. I close it from the inbox and want it to open in the inbox but always goes to the preferences page.
