I accidentally ticked the "don't allow [site] to show new windows" (I'm browsing in Spanish, forgive me if this isn't how it's written) box and now one of the functions of the site stopped working because it requires the user to confirm their decision via the pop up window. I'd like to know how to revert this. I've given the site special permissions for pop ups and it hasn't worked.

My question concerns the portion of the screen that displays the list of new and existing emails. I used to grab the up/down arrow and could shrink that portion down to 4 lines of emails. This allowed me to have a bigger area of the screen for viewing individual emails. Now I can't get it to display less than 8 lines of emails. Help please.

Help please.

I had to factory reset my laptop (or rather, an IT support person took over my machine and reset it before I could back up things properly!). I was not able to restore my previously opened tabs (there were a lot, like >100). It appears that all of those tabs still are showing on my mobile version of firefox as 'synced tabs'. Is there a way to pull that sync information from my phone to my laptop? If I press on "synchronise tabs" will the phone receive my laptops current tabs (not what i want), or will it update the laptop (what i do want)?

Thank you.

I am always having this problem of losing all of my open tabs. I am sure I am not the only person who has many parallel task running. Then, for whatever reason, the browser crashes, and in opening the browser, the single "Restore Previous Session" button is the only lifeline back to all of that work.

Would it be too much to ask for a simple session restore feature that is indexed to history? So we could go back to yesterday's session, or last week's, and not lose so much.

This loss of ongoing work happens to me 2-3 times a year, and amounts to untold losses of time, effort, and money.

It is impossible to trigger a doubleclick or from some tests, extremelly difficult to do. I calculated that in order to trigger a doubleclick, the 2 clicks needs to be somewhat no more than 0.08 seconds aparts. :That's wrog and inaccessible, the value should be between 0.4 and 0.8, NOT 0.08.

Firefox mobile should support doubleclick: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/dblclick_event

I notice this subject has been mentioned prior, but I cannot find a resolve. Been using Thunderbird for a long time without issues, but last week it stopped sending and receiving emails through the Skymesh internet provider. Still sends & receives Hotmail/Gmail/Yahoo, but will not connect to any Skymesh accounts. Have reinstalled/updated, but no change. SMTP timeout and if I change settings I get the 10060 error. Could not even connect to their Webmail page either. If I turn VPN on, then I can access their Webmail page. Rang Skymesh, they poked around and said it was all this end and with Thunderbird. Seems an IP number change via VPN with Opera resolved the Webmail page access, but I cannot do that thru Thunderbird. Running Win 7. Anyone ??

Missing 'Sent' folder Thunderbird 115.10.2 (64 bit) Mac

Hi there,

I have Thunderbird 115.10.2 (64 bit) on my Macbook Pro running OS High Sierra 10.13.6.

The "Sent" list of folders is missing one of my Email address folders. But further down the folders column, there are folders with lock icons and the 'Sent' folder is visible in Email address in question's folder (photo attached). Similarly, the "Drafts" folder is missing the Email address's drafts folder.

I've tried the following to fix the "Sent" folder problem:

1) Account Settings -> Copies and Folders -> checked "Place a copy in:" -> "Other" -> [correctly selected address here in dropdown menu] -> Sent. Then I quit and restarted TB. Nothing happened, and the folder did not show up in the list.

2) I tried changing the Security Settings from SSL/TLS to STARTTLS, then restarted TB. That did not fix the problem.

I haven't tried fixing the 'Drafts' folder yet, but I hope you are able to help me restore the missing folders.

Thank you in advance.

I have created a filter to forward and email as soon as the message comes in. I does not do the auto-forwarding but will do if I click Run now.

I had to reinstall TB due to the fact that for years my mail server was Cox who recently decided to get out of email business and transferred all my messages to Yahoo. The transition has not been going smoothly. Image attached.

Somebody thought that it is a GREAT idea to make drag-n-drop cursor a GIANT rectanglular thumbnail of the emails being dragged.

No, this is a horrible idea because that thumbnail covers the target of the drag-and-drop.

Either REVERT this IMMEDIATELY or let us know how to disable and revert to the simple drag-n-drop mouse cursor that does not obstruct the target of the drag.

And in the future AVOID any GUI changes that are not ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. With these poorly thought through, extremely annoying changes you are only causing damage and aggravation.
