I cannot seem to find what it is called, but only web design related stuff to scrolling.

I'm looking to change the behavior of scrolling bar, that lets me click a point and the page stops at that point, whereas right now, it keeps scrolling to the end/top of the page (based on the direction relative to the starting point). I find the behavior pretty annoying and something that used to be done by the buttons on either end point.

Is this a relic of the past or can i opt-in to it through the config

Version: Firefox 129 Ubuntu/Debian I'm using the Proton theme in Firefox and would like to revert the tabs to their previous, non-floating style. I've tried using the [profile]/chrome/userChrome.css method and enabling toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, but this hasn't worked. Is there another way to achieve this? Thanks for your help in advance!

The bookmarks icons and fonts are too small for my older eyes on my new Ubuntu computer. They are bigger on my older Ubuntu computer. I have tried to find out how to enlarge them without sussex.

I am aware of the Zoom feature for a webpage itself, I am not asking about that. I simply want to have my bookmark toolbar FONTS and ICONS larger.

This has been frustrating. Perhaps including an EASY way to do this for future updates, or an app suggestion that would solve the problem. Thanks for your consideration and (hopefully) help.

RE: Thunderbird 128.2esr Nebula I like to keep things simple and I know I was able to this before (ie: SuperNova), although I can’t remember how. How do I set “PERSONAL Address Book” as my only (default) address book; or how do I eliminate Collected Addresses? I prefer to keep all my contacts in my “PERSONAL Address Book”.

Hello Firefox friends o/

Anyone knows how do I make https://yandex.com my default search engine? (in the top bar of the browser). I have attached a screenshot of my settings page. Please have a look at the suspicious lack of an "Add" button 🤔. Despite my efforts, the drop-down menu will not show the available options in the screenshot, you will have to take my word for it, the only available options in that menu are: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, eBay and Wikipedia (en).

P.S. The settings page in Firefox must change really often, as I seen so many people suggesting many outdated methods online.

firstly, i'd like to say this isn't really about settings, well it sort of is, it's about layouts, but there's no heading for that. sorry!

i've just gone from version 102 to version 128. for my use of Thunderbird, nothing much seems to have changed, except some things are now harder. (such is progress!) i would like to see the columns in message lists as proper columns, with headers you can click on. so only one line per message, as it used to be, would suit me just fine. that way i can compare things in the list, which i would say is really important. you can change the sort, and easily see how it effects things.

does anyone know if is there any way to achieve this? i can't see anything in Settings or View. thanks so much.

The other day I accidentally pressed a keystroke that changed a Firefox setting, and now it thinks I'm on a mobile device/displays sites in mobile view where possible by default. This has persisted despite restarts of the browser and the computer and has been happening since Sunday (Australian time). I've tried opening the Responsive Design dev tool and I've sent screenshots to a techsavvy friend (I'm totally blind and use a screen-reader, so couldn't tell this was happening until I tried to use a site that had a radically different layout in mobile view), and aside from not seeing an exit button or a switch to change device mode, he couldn't tell what was going on.

I'm stuck and need help! I would like to unmobile my Firefox!

In the Thunderbird calendar, I'm trying to create a repeating event that occurs on the fourth Wednesday from Sep 25, 2024 through Jan 22, 2025.

But each time I try to set it up, using Jan 22 as the end date, Thunderbird changes the end date to Jan 21 and so the last event does not get created. I've tried several times and this keeps happening.

What's going on?

I'm running Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 PC. I can't find any way to associate a *.log file with notepad, even though this is the my windows default.

  • Other file types work fine
  • But Notepad isn't in the list when I double-click the file and I have to browse for it every time.
  • When setting the default for another file type, it said this could be changed in "Options". I have Settings, but not Options. Under Menu > Settings > General, it has "Files & Attachments". Under this there are 2 columns: Content Type and Action. The only thing listed is Portable Document Content (PDF) and no way to add anything.* Bulleted list item

I would like to remove menu items, which I never use:

  • for simplicity
  • to avoid accidental deletion (e.g. "delete folder", "delete message", "delete mail marked as junk in folder", etc.)

Is there an option to set multiple event reminders for a single event in the calendar? If i set up or edit an event using my phone app I can choose to have multiple remiders for the same event (e.g. set a remider to 30 mins before the event and 24 hours before), and Thunderbird remembers and reminds me of both (altough only showing one of them when looking at the event in the calendar). However i haven't found any option within Thunderbird to set multiple event reminders, I also looked for extensions for this functionality but haven't found any that appear to address this.

I have two Mac systems, an M1 MacBook Pro and a 2018 Mac Mini, both systems are running Sonoma 14.6.1. Last week I had to reinstall MacOS Sonoma on my Mac Mini (2018). After installing Thunderbird I noticed a difference between the two systems. I’ve always had the single line email listing as in the screenshot MBP, but now the Mini has a two line email listing as in the screenshot Mac Mini. How do I get back to the single line listing?
