My thunderbird just upgraded to 115.2.2 (32-bit) - my windows is 64-bit - but I can't read the preview window or emails. Everything is in a gigantic font so I see only 2 lines at a time in both the main email edit screen and the preview screen. I tried changing it to Calibri 12 in Settings (it was Calibri 17) but that makes no difference. I also don't like that I have to go through File menu now to get messages for just one account. Is there a way to downgrade back to my old version? I guess that would be 115.2.1. Thank you!

The upgrade 115.3.1 (32-bit) is unsatisfactory to many people. For me, the worst part is the superhuge message display. I can't seem to be able to reduce the size/font of the displayed message. Other people seem to have the same problem on your "help" site. This kind of display makes it impossible to skim a major part of a message before deciding whether to open it or not. Can you please tell me if this can be fixed and/or if I can get back to the prior version of Thunderbird? I support Mozilla and Thunderbird, but this is the first time I'm really disappointed by an update. Sincerely, Jane [removed phone# and email from public support forum]

Thunderbird 115.2.3. Mac OS 10.15.7 on an older Mac mini. I use larger-sized fonts, so display real estate is limited.

I want to see the full headers, but I want them to scroll in a message header pane that I can resize (that is, I want to be able to move the horizontal line pointed to in the attached image to increase the message display area and decrease the header display area). Otherwise, it takes over my entire message space. Is there a way to do this (I haven't found it)?

Following an automatic update the other day, everything in Thunderbird is oversized. There are in fact some things I can no longer see at all! The program has become very difficult to us to read/write emails. See the image below, a full-screen capture showing the problem . There must be a line to edit in the fonfig file to make the display look normal again. Please help me find that line!! I am visually impaired, and life is difficult enough already! tnx, Paul pgschreier@swissonline.ch

I tried to change the size of the text in Thunderbird and now my entire mail display takes up less than a quarter of an inch of display. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and it is still the same. Is there a way to get rid of those settings and go back to the defaults without doing it inside the program? I have enclosed a screenshot of it. I love my Thunderbird and am lost without it. Please help. Someone. Anyone.

Hi, I got the (unwanted) Update on Thunderbird 115.2.2 (64-Bit).

I use a notebook 14" with full HD. With the new update I have trouble reading the texts in Thunderbird, mail, etc. because of the font size & layout. I wear glasses and I'm 50+ ......

HOW CAN I GET BACK THE OLD LAYOUT AND TEXT SIZE ??

I'm really pissed :(

Thanks, Martin
