With the latest update of Thunderbird I have lost all my tool bar customization. I thought this update was to improve my experience and make things better for me. Making me try to redo all my setting just because some developer needs to put his own stamp on this product is not helpful nor improve my experience. How do I get my layout back? How can I revert back to the previous version????

Recently, firefox added an annoying feature that throws unwanted popups into my face: Website translation.

I want it gone. I can't seem to find any switch to get rid of that garbage in the preferences. I'm not scared of about:config but the best I could find was a list of languages to never translate.

How do I globally and eternally disable website translations?

In the newest version of Thunderbird the ability to toggle the read/unread status via the "Mark" button has gone away. The Mark button now summons a drop down menu of options.

I use my mail to enter customer orders. I open a letter and copy the data to my order screen, then I mark the letter as read. I've been doing this for years. Now I hit the button and nothing happens.

I know I can use the tiny green dots in the header row as a toggle but they are difficult to target because of size and when the header is highlighted they are no longer green. I know there is a keyboard shortcut but I'm a one-finger typist and that means I have to look down at my keyboard and find the "M". I really want to do this as a mouse action.

Is there any way to turn a keyboard shortcut into a button?

Or to modify the "Mark" button to restore the toggle function?

I can't seem to stop myself from pressing the Mark button just once and then becoming distracted because the read status doesn't toggle.

I have a lot a devices. I would like the majority of settings/etc to be synced with my account but I would also like to be able to have some add-ons excluded. For example I use Persepolis download manager for the devices that support it but not all my devices support it. Result is I have to toggle active addon every time I switch devices as it syncs.

Does or will Thunderbird provide capability for Contact Group Lists and Contact Sub-Folders as does Microsoft Outlook, which I am looking to replace? Thanks in advance.

I set my browser to use English instead of my local language and I expect sites to use English by default. Now for some reason Gmail showed me a "do you want to leave this page" browser dialogue in language other than English.

Turns out, there's a new(?) option to set alternative interface languages, and I suppose websites can now choose which one to use?

Wow, just noticed, even tooltips on this website aren't in English anymore. This is extremely annoying.

I'd love to remove the alternate language from that list and leave Firefox interface exclusively in English. There is no option to remove the second language, only to move priority (see screenshot).

Searching through about:config with "language" didn't help. The closest relevant result was for the dictionaries. I do not have problems with dictionaries; "alternate" did not bring any relevant results either.

Hello,

I'm trying to use the, "*", "%", "^", in my browser bar. What exactly do these do? After entering the shortcut I get a "Tab" or "History" button that shows up in the search bar and then after hitting enter nothing happens. Isn't this feature suppose to search inside all my open tabs and my History? Nothing happens after I hit enter.

Thank you.

at the very top of firefox browser are 3 rows...the highest row is the list of open tabs.....the middle row is the address bar itself with various icons....the lowest row which is the third row begins with 'import bookmarks' 'getting started' and then various website suggestions.

that 3rd row takes up space and has no useful functionality for me .....i've tried changing the settings but i can't alter it... is there a harmless way to eliminate that third row? thanks

I'm using Thunderbird 114.0b6 (64-bit). I sort and group by date. In the previous version of Thunderbird the default view of collapsed view remained after changing folders. It no longer stays collapsed. When I collapse the views in the Inbox, switch to another folder, then switch back, the view is expanded again. How do I keep the view from expanding keeping views in collapsed mode; keeping it collapsed every time I switch to another folder and return.

Hi

Can anyone finally explain to me how can I get rid of the most annoying Google pop up screen in my Mozilla browser? I am unable to find a straight answer, everyone is suggesting some sort of plugin that blocks popups but it didn't work for me.

if i have the "clear cache" addon: and i have 2 browser instances open, when i clear the cache, does it clear both instances or just the one whose button i clicked ?

Hello,

I use Thunderbird as my RSS reader, it actually works really well, thanks Thunderbird.

However, I have one nagging annoyance. The message pane on the main page reloads if i open a new tab, actually all the tabs reload when i open a new tab.

For example, my RSS loads youtube videos in its original page, I open one in a tab, click on another, that previous tab has now unloaded, reloads when i next click on it. Is there anyway to keep the message pane and the tabs loaded, rather than reloading every time?

Any help would be amazing thank you.

The one big problem I have regularly with Thunderbird is losing important messages because they are hidden away in a thread. Even if I have marked them with a star this doesn't help them to be visible in my inbox. Instead I am having to guess at a suitable search term to find these messages (often support from Email addresses I do not normally correspond with). I realise I can (in theory) switch threading off (although this didn't seem to actually work for me), but I otherwise like the feature - once I have found the message, it's great to see the thread.

I would like to be able to show threads in a different colour to make them stand out in my mailbox - I realise there is a small grey symbol against threads, but this isn't very visible and doesn't seem to help.

One other possibility that might be even better, is to expand threads with unread messages, but I couldn't see a way to do this either.

Two questions, please

1) My Firefox ANT add-on extension apparently has a file "time limit" set to greater than 2 minutes. In other words, if I try to download a file online that is 2 minutes or less in time (i.e.- an audio file), the ANT application does see recognize or allow it. Is there a way to change this so that any file, regardless of time, can be downloaded?

2) Whenever I open Firefox, a Mozilla Policy File also opens in a second tab. Is there a way to stop this from happening every single time? It's VERY annoying!

Thanks so much!
