New PC and so installing Thunderbird again. Want to set up a sound alert for new messages, but there doesn't seem to be any sound files at all, default or otherwise. I tried putting Tonequilla in, but that doesn't seem to work with this latest version of Thunderbird which is a shame as it's really useful for me to have an alert since I moderate a forum.

SLES 15.5 QU2 in Mozilla Firefox 115.8.0esr was not supporting window.close() even i added user_pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true); in user.js and prefs.js

Hello, I have Win8 with black borders, so I can't read and see inactive tabs at all. (http://i.imgur.com/9feS5wN.png ) I want to change the text color and make it so that the hover effect is displayed at all times. (http://i.imgur.com/wRubuQ3.png )

I found a bunch of different things to do, like "tab:not([selected="true"]" ".tabmail-tab" but none of it works. So which identifier (or whatever it's called) can I use? And how can I achieve the hover effect?

I hope someone can help, thanks in advance :)

Edit: I got the hover effect working, it's in a post on the bottom of the page.

Sorry, posted recently and had then trouble finding out how to respond to help offered (jscher2000)! Noticed that the email version was "no-reply" so I didn't figure that would work! So, I tried to 'cut and paste' my reply (on a smartphone) and I ended up losing even the email reply text so here is a reconstruction. I tried the suggestions in order and the first one didn't have a "Restore previous session" option and the second one had "Recently closed windows" greyed out! And, when I entered "about.support" in the address bar (top rightish), I received a notice that I couldn't reach Google (Remember that I don't currently have internet access on my laptop). So, no joy there either! Can I not just change some current setting to prevent Firefox v 115.9lesr from saving the current 'Windows' and Tabs so that, when I again open Firefox, the previous session 'Windows' and Tabs would be used?!?

How do I stop firefox from automatically downloading files from the internet when I click on them - without even asking me if I want to download them in the first place. In "Applications", selecting "Always Ask" in "Choose how firefox handles files etc" does not work. Firefox never asks. If it cannot be disabled, I will have to stop using Firefox.

Up to now I have been using the FireTray add-on, this is no longer working in Thunderbird 60 even if I enable legacy add-ons. I do believe that Thunderbird is making a catastrophic mistake by cutting itself off from a large part of its add-on ecosystem, but I don’t want to debate that here. What I think is really missing is some form of indicator that new e-mail has arrived (not unread but new) that is not transient. If I leave my screen for a while with a minimised TB process running, I will now have to maximise the window and check all accounts (actually, all folders that might receive new mail via filtering) to see if I have missed a new mail notification while I was away. The same applies if I was at the screen but focused on something else. With FireTray I would have seen a change in the tray icon. Now it seems that I have to check the folder pane for a colour change in the names of all candidate accounts or folders. I cannot believe that TB developers want to force us to do constantly inspect the window, so I’d like to know how I am supposed to be able to check if new email has arrived without having to maximise the window. Any suggestions?

I have Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Android. Anytime I use Firefox on a desktop, it sends me to Tornado Alley in Kansas. However, I am not in Kansas, and I don't have dog named Toto either. I am in the Detroit area. If I use other browsers, I don't have this problem. It only happens on desktop computers. On my cell phone it shows the correct location. I have already done the simple troubleshooting measure (for a year now: clearing cache, uninstall, reinstall, etc...) and NOTHING removes me from this Tornado Alley, Kansas location on the Firefox browser. If I use Chrome, Opera, Edge, etc... I don't get this problem. It must be something in the Firefox program.

If I mark a message as Unread, it appears in the list of messages in boldface type. But I am finding it very hard to distinguish those in bold from other messages that have been read and are not bold. Is there anything in advanced settings that would allow me to change the fill colour in the listing box, or perhaps the colour of the type, in order to distinguish unread messages more visibly from those I have read? Thanks!

Whenever I log on to my bank's web site, I'm sent an audible signal that invites me to start a chat session with a bank agent. The problem is that the audible alert is so loud that it startles me. This is very annoying. I called the bank's help line and was told there was no way they could adjust the sound volume. I would like to know if it's possible for Firefox to decrease the volume for that web site.

Every time I restart firefox, my spellchecker languages disappear, leaving me only with one - the addons are still installed, they're just not available to be selected. Even now I can't spellcheck in english. Please help.

Hello there, Iam facing a problem with changing Firefox homepage background. I tried every solution, tutorial, oldposts etc. nothing seems to work, here is what I tried. -1- The chrome folder is in the right folder. -2- the naming of both CSS files userChrome, userContent. -3- enabled CSS files at startup -4- search for both CSS files in the browser toolbox for some reason I cannot find both CSS files, even though they are in the chrome directory. Also, I have 2 chrome folders one of them is located here. "AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\shaf5qn0.default-release\storage\permanent\chrome" the other one I created myself which is here "AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\shaf5qn0.default-release\chrome" I tried to delete the first one but I cant, I get an error that this file is being used even though I did close Firefox. What I am missing here?

Been using TB since before it was Eudora. I am still on rev 60-9-1. I use an AddOn that allows me to edit the subject line - this is an ESSENTIAL function, since senders do not use any orderly system for the subject, and I need to change it around in order to search & find them later.

When was it made an integral function - and if not, by now, why the hell not?

Seeing lots of grief about rev 115. What other POP mail apps for Macintosh still exist? All web based mail viewers have lousy interfaces, not to mention that you have to download mail one at a time, and then its just a bunch of files on your computer.

If I upgraded from 60-9-1, how high can I go without it creating a new install and having to go thru the process of saving my Profile.ini etc in their hidden directory and putting them into the 'fresh' install ?

I have had to Restore my laptop. Since I have I can not seem to separate my email accounts. I wish them to be kept separate because I use different 'Signatures' for each account. Is there a way to separate the accounts in Thunderbird? If not How do I delete all the email accounts connected to the main email account, without affecting any email accounts outside of Thunderbird so that I can then add them individually?

Monday afternoon I received a work-related email. I crafted a reply, and wanted to have it sent in the morning, so I pressed "Ctrl-Shift-Enter" to Send Later, which used had worked in the past.

The Send Later dialogue box did not appear, and I saw that the message was moved to my Outbox. Without any Send Now indication, I figured I'd just send it at that time.

The Reply arrow/symbol was on it, and I saw it in my Sent folder, so I figured it was sent.

Two days later, my client had not replied. She's always replied within 24 hours.

Wondering if she received my reply, I replied again, to her same email, sending it normally. The Reply arrow was still there, and that one was in my Sent folder too.

Today, my client wrote, implying she did not receive either message. How can I know if my message is really being sent? Is this a known issue? If so, is there a fix?

I use Thunderbird for my work emails and the other day I opened the program and everything looked and functioned differently.

If I responded to an e-mail I used to get a copy of mine inline with the thread, and now that just isn't there.

In addition, the threads aren't together the way they used to be. I try to scroll through an email thread and now I have to click on the emails individually.

Is this an update, or did a setting get accidentally changed? Can I get it back to how it was? I'm not tech savy so if you want me to share settings please explain how to find them like you're talking to a child... I just want my email to be easy to use like it was before

Can I get an explanation for what this does

Is it supposed to do something different than the windows taskbar mouse thumbnail

I saw no difference when enabled.

Hi,

I booted up Thunderbird today with the new update and the font size of the incoming messages is exceptionally small (for me). I have played around with settings and font sizes but I can't seem to increase the size of the incoming email preview font size. See image attached for what I am referring to.

How do I increase the size of this font please?

Thanks in advance

When I try to install the Thunderbird Dutch language pack as an Add-On , then I got the message that the language pack is corrupt. It's not possible to download this add-on.
