Due to muscle menu or not needing to think about it. Split should either be near the bottom of the context menu or you should be able to toggle it in settings. The amount of times I have gone to click a link to open in a new window only to split the view is driving me crazy.

When uploading files with Firefox, I click the upload button, and the file browser window appears to upload files.

For as long as I can remember, it always defaulted to the last folder location that I uploaded a file, but just a few days ago, it stopped working, and always defaults to my home folder.

How can I make the upload window pop up, default to the last uploaded location? My OS is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

I have loaded thunderbird and the email preview pane is not displaying. It was OK this morning but has disappeared now. Is this a temp[orary issue or has there been an update of the program.

1. There is not a relevant "topic" above for this question 2. How can I print a 1 page email on 1 piece of paper? View headers are set to Normal. I get one page with From, To, Reply to, & Subject then body on next page. I used to just select Print and my emails printed normally. I have been using Thunderbird for more than 20 years with out this problem

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

Thunderbird message header pane is so large that I can't read messages. The top 2/3rd of my screen has the list of messages, header bar, files, etc. The bottom 1/3 is for the actual email message, but the header takes up nearly half of that with just the "From", "To", and "Subject lines taking up more than half of that space. Depending on the text of the html message, sometimes I can only read one line at a time, which makes it difficult to actually comprehend a message while scrolling, particularly if it's a long message. I can't resize it to make it larger, though I can make it smaller. My eyesight isn't quite as good as it used to be so I use a larger font than I used to, ie: 12pt rather than 10pt, and that makes it worse. Any suggestions?

I don't see this addressed recently and the fixes from previous versions don't work. Using Thunderbird 140.5.0esr (64-bit) on Mac OS Monterey 12.7.6. Since T-bird updated I have not been able to change font colors or highlight font any outgoing email and I can't see colors in my incoming emails. I can copy and paste incoming emails into a word document and the color formatting shows up. If I write an email in a word document, change the color then copy and paste this into an outgoing email it reverts to black font. I can change bold/italic/underline.

I disabled my two extensions and tried again - no change either sending or viewing received colors

Under Settings > Composition > HTML Style "Use reader’s default colors" is checked and under > Sending Style "Both HTML and Plain Text" are checked

I'm missing something here but can't figure it out!

I have the up to date versions of Thunderbird on my desktop and laptop.

The buttons to check for new messages and compose a new message are visible at the top of the account list on the desktop, but not on the laptop.

I can't see anywhere in the settings on the laptop to show those buttons.

Under Local Folders I have created four subfolders. Each subfolder is a category. As an example I have a Software subfolder (Local Folders / Software). Under the Software subfolder I have additional subfolders (Local Folders / Software / Microsoft - as an example). I can add the Software folder as a Favorite folder. The problem is that if I select the Favorite Folder Software it is empty. I was hoping that it would show me all of the Local Folders / Software subfolders. Is there anyway to accomplish this? I have found that if I collapse the subfolders under Local Folders it is easier to navigate, but I was hoping to be able to see the Local Folders categories and when I click on one of them it would show me all of the folders under that category folder.

Any suggestions?

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for emails. Somehow I have clicked something and lost the actual email, unless I double click on it and then it appears as though I am replying to said email. I have the columns subject/correspondence/date and that is all. I've tried many ways to get the emails back on screen, but can't see how. I'm not overly computer literate. Many thanks for any help.

Hello everyone. This is my first question on this forum: Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64 bity). An email with at least two replies after double clicking won't open in an existing window. For example if there are 4 replies in a particularly email then 4 separate windows will open. Changing settings under Reading & Display doesn't help. Any ideas? Thanks.

Recently installed a new version, after our old PC died. BUT now, when I do 'save as' of an email the system automatically saves it as a PDF??? Unless I select save it as a Thunderbird, a tedious business and extra key strokes. How can I get the system to save an email as an email?

Thanks, Brent Haines

I reinstalled Windows on my PC along with Thunderbird. I can not find how to set the view to the way it was.

I added two jpgs to show the difference. (The way it is now and The way I want it to look.) Is there a way to change the way Message List looks ? ( I guess the Message List is the upper right part of the screen?)

I've searched in 'Settings' and on-line and cannot find how to set the line spacing in composing a message to single line. There are lots of answers but they all talk about the 'Composition' section in settings, which sounds logical, but it does not appear in Nebula Any help would be most appreciated Regards Greg

I have used TB for many, many years and have never had this problem before. In the tool bar at the top of the email Inbox toolbar there are a number of blank emails which are getting annoying. Is there a way to remove them. I am using v. 128.6.0esr

I am attaching a screenshot

Please can anyone help.

Hi,

I'm running Thunderbird on iMac.

I've been quite meticulously color-coding a large number of my folder icons (under "properties" for each) over the past couple of years, but now all my icons have gone back to that default yellow.

I've tried running in troubleshoot mode, but that makes no difference. So now I've updated to 128.5.2esr Nebula, which purports to be the newest. Still, nothing has changed.

Is there any way I can restore those colors? I could, of course, re-assign them by hand, but it would be a major task offering no guarantee that the icons won't simply switch back to default all over again.

Context: I'm moving from Outlook to Thunderbird so still adjusting. Bear with me.

I prefer to view all incoming messages initially as plain text. I believe this prevents tracking-images and other detritus from coming in with the message. So with Outlook, everything come in plain text; I can change the currently displayed message to HTML when I trust the source and want view it that way. It does NOT affect the other messages.

Now, with TB, it seems that when I choose the View / Message Body As / Original HTML then all messages viewed subsequently are displayed as Original HTML.

I've looked around for a little while and don't see the how to default all messages to Plain Text and apply the View-as-Original-HTML to only the currently-displayed message.

Is this possible? Thanks for your help, Mark
