Please teach me how to quickly jump to the folder where I have saved an attachment file on my PC soon after I saved the file? I want to open the attachment file soon after I have saved it to a folder I selected upon saving it. Does Thunderbird have a function to indicate the folder to which I have saved an attachment file on my PC?

Where is the option to do this? I only see the general "Delete browsing data" in Settings, and it does not let me select cookies for specific websites.

If this option was not included in Firefox for Android, why??

Typically if I experience a security certificate exception, thunderbird will popup the certificate exception box, I click to get certificate and am done.

Today I cannot get the certificate popup to appear. which is fine I know where the certificates are managed but I have not a clue how to add a certificate OR what information to enter into the "Add security exception" dialogue box

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

My experience with Firefox has been great for more than 15 years. However recently there's been a trend of adding new functionality without asking the user whether they want it or not. Moreover, some things cannot be disabled even if I try hard enough.

It was an unpleasant surprise to discover that "This time, search with" panel was removed without my consent, and is now replaced by an extremely inconvenient button. I firmly believe that this is not how UX design is done, and whoever made that choice needs to reevaluate their decision.

How can I revert this change besides rolling back the browser version?

The setting "browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride" did not help, it reverts to *true* on every restart. I have not been able to find any other settings, and I believe that this is not something that a user should do their research on.

Is there a way to affect this change?

I went into the Settings, under Calendar, and unchecked "Show week number in views and minimonth"

On the main page, my view is the Accounts on the left, the reading and message pane in the middle, and Events pane on the right.

In the Events pane on the right, it displays the date at the top and CW ##.

I would like to remove that CW ##. If the option I unchecked does not apply to the events pane, can you make another option to does remove CW or make it the option I unchecked work for that also?

See screenshots.

I've inadvertently made some change to 'Open with' so that when I add an attachment I can not open it within the email I'm sending. It opens for the recipient but not for me. When I click on the attachment nothing happens. It doesn't occur for all attachments but it seems to be for any attachment requiring 'Photos' as the option to open. Can you help please?

I have 2 computers, both with Linux Ubuntu. All of a sudden one of them is missing the File toolbar. It was there this AM but gone now. I looked through the menu and couldn't find where it is that you add the toolbar. On this computer, which has that toolbar, you go to 'view" and there is an item for toolbar. But on the other there are none of those menus and I can't find where to add that toolbar.

Hello,

I am a super happy user of Thunderbird calendar since many years.

Now that my kids have a lot of activities I am facing an annoying display issue with the upper part of the calendar in the Week view showing all days event : it is too small to show all events at once and hence proposes a scrollbar to navigate inside it (the attached image shows it for Tuesday May 13)

To solve that, I would be super happy just to select the "horizontal line" separating the all day events pane from the one below and then drag it to increase the height of the all day events pane. Unfortunately this is not possible.

So my question is : how can I increase the height of all day events pane so that I can see all my all days events at once ?

Thank you very much for your help,

In the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions-recommended

https://packages.mozilla.org/apt leads to 404, not a Debian software repository / archive.

Step 4 (is broken)

Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null

I see it as Thunderbird hijacking the resources of my computer to run Firefox and take me to the donation website. I'm fine with the request for money in the Thunderbird screen, I can navigate away from that. Don't open programs other than Thunderbird before I require them.

I use Thunderbird for email and Edge for my browser. Unfortunately the icons for the two are so similar it's difficult to tell them apart. I'd like to suggest that Thunderbird/Mozilla allow users to substitute their own icons for the running programs if they don't want to use the default one.

Hello,

The latest version, 128.10.0esr, was recently released, and one of the changes is:

Changed color override defaults with high contrast mode on macOS and Linux

https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/128.10.0esr/releasenotes/?uri=/thunderbird/releasenotes/&locale=en-US&version=128.10.0&channel=esr&os=Darwin&buildid=20250425031534

I use dark mode, but I prefer to view the email body in light mode, as this is typically the sender’s default formatting. To achieve this, I previously configured: • Settings → General → Fonts & Colors → Colors • Set Text to black and Background to white • Enabled “Override the colors specified by the content with my selections above:” and set it to “Only with High Contrast themes”

However, since this update, this setting no longer works. Now, the only workaround is to manually click the “Turn dark mode off” button for each email, which does work. But it’s inconvenient to do this every time.

Is there a way to disable dark mode for all email bodies by default, so I don’t need to click the button each time?

Thank you!

Yours,

I had set my Ubuntu 22.04 browser to Chromium for a while, but decided that all my cookies are in Firefox so I chose to switch back. Full reset after power-off, of course.

My Environment Variable $BROWSER is now set to Firefox, but Thunderbird apparently has a mind of its own. ;-) It still opens or switches to Chromium with every web link executed.

I've explored the ~/.thunderbird/ directory but see nothing there.

What am I missing that I need to be educated about?

Thanks in advance!

There are 2 questions in the Q&A section without any reply. I have no idea what has transpired since this morning when the dates were perfect. I went out for about 3 hours and on return the clock is showing a 12-hour clock without am or pm. So searching by date and time is a laborious process. I cannot find anything in settings relating to 12 or 24. What am i missing? Thanks
