The spacing of the Subject column label is inconsistent and apparently not under the control of a user. In the graphic with yellow notations, the leading space for Subject is much larger than any of the other column labels shown.

Also, in the graphic with red notations, the leading space for Subject is even larger; I "applied columns to ... Folder ..." yet both folders are not the same as the leading blank space for the Subject column header is different from the "copy from" folder.

I cannot find anywhere that this is controllable by the user. Please advise on both issues: too much space on the Subject column before the word Subject and the inconsistency of the Apply Columns To feature.

Thank you.

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 an IMAP account with three folders in it that I need to keep below quota. They are Inbox, Sent, and Deleted. Among my local folders I have Archive of Inbox, Archive of Sent, and Archive of Deleted. I have three message filters that move old messages from the IMAP folders to their corresponding local folders. I understand that these filters have to be run manually, not automatically, because their source folders need to be set before each run. None of the filters is enabled, I'm not sure what this setting does but I think it prevents Thunderbird running the filter automatically. Each of the filters has Manually Run checked and all other options left unchecked. The retention policy for each IMAP folder is 'Use my account settings'. The relevant account setting is 'Don’t delete any messages'. I would therefore expect messages to remain in my IMAP folders until I run the filters, but that does not seem to be what is happening. I delete several messages per day and they go from the inbox into the deleted folder, but the total number of messages in that folder doesn't increase - in fact it sometimes decreases whilst I'm working. It is as though a ghost is running the filters when I'm not watching. Can anybody tell me what is happening?

Hi community,

I want to have the same font and font-size in:

  • my HTML message body text
  • my signature.html file

so I can send consistent and nice-looking e-mails, like you would expect.

Here are my current settings:

  • Settings > General > Language & Fonts > Fonts >
    • Default font: Arial
    • Size: 12
    • Advanced: For both "Latin" and "Other Writing Systems" I have the settings you can see in the attached screenshots.

I heard that these settings are for personal viewing.

  • Settings > Composition > HTML Style >
    • Font: Arial
    • Size: Medium

I heard that these settings are for viewing by recipients.

The first line of my signature.html file looks like this: div style="font-family: 'Arial'; color: #222; line-height: 1.0; font-size: 14px;"

There is always a slight font size mismatch of the message text with my signature.

I unsuccesfully tried tweaking the html font size values in px or pt to match the given size in Settings > Composition > HTML Style for Medium or Large.

It seems that the available font size granularity of Medium or Large just does not match corresponding pixel or point values?

I would be extremely grateful if someone can guide me on how to achieve this!

If there is no valid solution for this problem, I'm happy to open/report an issue on this.

Thank you and have a wonderful day

Thunderbird for Linux Mintmint-001 - 1.0

I run two browsers on Linux Mint 22.3

Librewolf and Waterfox.

I prefer Waterfox. It is set as default in its own settings

I open preferred application in system settings and choose Waterfox as preferred WEB. Thunderbird is preferred as MAIL I click on an email, waterfox promptly opens my 4 home pages....not the email I return to preferred applications and choose Librewolf instead of waterfox, click on the email again, and it promptly opens the email.


Waterfox has been set as the default browser. I am looking for a way to set Thunderbird to open emails with waterfox......I cannot find such a setting in Thunderbird.

I searched and found this : Make sure to check the settings in both Thunderbird and your operating system to ensure Waterfox is selected as the default for opening links.

Is there a way to do this in Thunderbirds settings?....It does not make sense that there would be, becasue Librewolf opens the email anyway....

1. I am getting Mozilla Thunderbird ESR notices pop up when I log on to my PC (W11). I checked my Thunderbird version and I have 146.0.1 and I am on the release channel so why am I getting these notices ? 2. Recently I noticed that when I try to move e-mail messages to a specific folder, I right click on the message and get the prompt Move To and then Recent Destinations where the problem exists. The list of Recent Destinations used to be in alphabetical order and now it is sorted by most recent destination time. This slows me down considerably. Please revert. Thanks !!

Please forgive me if this question was already answered and that I might have accidentally overlooked that answer.

I'm running Firefox 144.0 (64-bit) under Debian 13 (linux).

I want to configure Firefox to never restore any previous session when it starts up, irrespective of how Firefox was last exited.

Even if a running Firefox session was externally killed via some sort of system command or because of a reboot, I never, never, never, never, never, never, never, NEVER (!!!) want it to restart in any previous session.

I ALWAYS (!!!) want Firefox to launch with its default start page, no matter what.

I tried all of the suggestions that I have found on line about how this might be accomplished, but with each one of them, there are cases where the previous session was restored.

I repeat, I do NOT (!!!) EVER (!!!) want the previous session to be restored, under any circumstances.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again, please accept my apology if this has been answered and I overlooked that answer.
