Since Thunderbird changed the menu bar is not any more above the email bar. It is with Bestand, Bewerken, Beeld enz.

How can I get it back at the top??

It is far less easy now.

I wanted to ask for help but on the Dutch site I could not find a button for help. Only at he English site.

But I am Dutch.

Hope that I can get the Menu bar on top again like in Firefox..

Please help and change it back.

Kind regards

- click settings>general and scrollodown to config editor - search for toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and change to true - then you need the chrome folder in profile, and a userChrome.css file. - exit and restart TB and it should work, although I've sometimes found I have to restart TB twice to see changes in userChrome.css - Below is content for userChrome.css

Dear David,

I could put it on true but the rest I couldnt find the rest. I use Firefox, Where do I find chrome folder in profile, and a userChrome.css file and the rest? Can you say it in Dutch?

Kind regards,

Paulien de Jongh

Ok, it is not there initially, but you must create it. My apologies. And you must also create the userChrome.css in text editor (be sure that it is not userChrome.css.txt. and not userchrome.css. ) I regret my oversight.

Hi:

To make the menu bar visible at all times in Windows and Linux (no need for this in macOS) "App Menu i.e. ≡" > View > Toolbars > tick "Menu Bar"

hope that helps!
