Per version 118 we now have the possibility to have webpages to be automatically translated from its original language to another one. As end user I get prompted for every page I visit whether I would like that to be translated. This is quite the flow-stopper. I have no need nor interest for this amazing functionality. However, I can't find anywhere an explanation on how to disable that functionality. I would appreciate it if I was not prompted for this translation possibillty. My question: how to disable this translation functionality alltogether? (I.e. How to stop Firefox asking me about it?)

In Supernova (i.e. version 115 and above), a new message is indicated by a yellow/orange diamond indicator to the left of the subject heading.

Unlike other "status flag" elements in the message list ("Read status", "Starred", "Priority" and so on) – which are columns that can be repositioned or removed like any other column – this indicator seems to be implemented as an integral part of the "Subject" column, and the user can't do anything in the UI to remove it.

(You can see from the HTML in the screenshot that it uses a placeholder img element inside the table cell that contains the subject line: the default CSS renders this img with the yellow/orange graphic.)

I could get rid of this indicator easily enough with some code in userChrome.css. However, that's not consistent with "Read status", "Starred", "Priority" etc, which a user can simply remove with the column chooser in the UI.

Am I missing something: is there a way of removing this "new message" indicator without custom CSS?

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking extensively. I've been using it successfully in Thunderbird for years now.

Suddenly today, nothing I dictate in Dragon is being recognized or typed in in Thunderbird. Dragon is working just fine here in my browser, and every place else. So I suspect the issue may not be with Dragon, but instead with Thunderbird. I applied the Universal Computer Fix of rebooting my computer, but that hasn't helped.

Is it possible something in the latest Thunderbird update has broken my ability to use Dragon?

How can I fix this?

On my work laptop, I disabled "Recommended by Pocket" to avoid distractions.

On my personal laptop, that setting is already enabled. But I never see any stories recommended by pocket when I open a new tab. What can I do about this?

If you want your 'Message List' to use alternative colour stripes often refered to as zebra style then I have put together some code and instructions on how to create the effect.

Obviously you may need to modify the actual colours used. The following works on a Light theme. The striping is white and pale grey. On hover the text is black on a pale blue background. On select the text is white on a light blue background, but strong enough to show white text clearly.

Hallo, after the installation of Thunderbird Supernova, now in the 115.3.0 (32-bit) version, I encounter this problem: I usually organize my email through menu View > Sort by > Grouped by Sort. So I have my messages divided in Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, etc... You can open or close those group of messages but, now, every time I open the program, or a folder, they are always opened, even though I had closed them shortly before. I hope I have explained myself (I am Italian).

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)?

I use 50+ Add-Ons on Firefox. I would like see all the Add-Ons I gave permission to work in Private Mode, all in one page. Is there a Settings page that shows all Add-On permissions to shown in one place?

So far I've been clicking on each Add-On, one by one. It becomes very tedious to manage them when you have no other choice.

Thanks, Cheers!

BUG/REGRESSION with new Tbird: cannot reduce height of main email pane to less than 1/3 total height of email window

Didn't you bother testing this new release? Evidently not.

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way do display and edit the categories for carddav contacts. I like the new contact manager but I am relying a long on categories in order so sort and display my contacts. Right now I am using the CardBook addon to do.

So I have two questions:

• Is there a way to display/edit carddav categories with the built-in thunderbird contact manager?
• If I edit a contact with the built-in contact manager, will my categories be lost? (I mean for an existing contact already having categories, I change, say, its phone number, what happen to the categories when I click save?)

Thanks a lot for your help!

I have multiple accounts - some IMAP and others gmail, and I want to be sure all accounts are checked regularly, but I only want the notification badge in Windows to show up for designated accounts rather than all of them. My current and somewhat unsatisfactory solution is to set mail.biff.show_badge to false, but I'd really rather have the badge show up for a couple of the accounts I have.

If this is something that should be an extension I'm game - it's been a hot minute since I wrote a Moz extension (for Firefox, long ago) but if someone were to point me vaguely in the direction of where to poke at I might just give it a go.

I use the NVDA screen reader to read aloud the contents of applications on my computer.

If I open a PDF in Adobe Acrobat, the screen reader will read aloud the content of the alt text associated with each image. When I open the same PDF in Firefox, however, the screen reader is evidently unable to recognise the presence of alt text; therefore it remains silent when it reaches an image - it's as if there's no alt text to be read.

Can you please clarify: is there a way for me to configure Firefox (either in the settings or in about:config) so that alt text in PDFs will be recognised by screen readers?

Strange threading behavior has crept in to new releases. Sometimes when msg within a thread is deleted, instead of it 'disappearing', it is replaced by an empty message dated 1Jan70. When reply to a threaded message, (Unified InBox) my response appears twice (identical content). Worse: deleting 'one' results in both disappearing. (Undo brings them both back. Sigh!) Work-around is to re-start TB, and affected threads become corrected. Something I have/not done during upgrade?

Just upgraded from Tbird 102.15.1 to 115.3.0 running Mac Studio (2022) Apple M1 Max, Monterey v12.6.3 For columns I use: Subject | Attachments | Starred | From | Recipient | Date | Spam | Size

No longer can adjust column widths as have always been able to do previously. Subject column width will not go wider than about one-fifth of Tbird window width; dragging handle goes to almost one-third width but once released, snaps back to about one-fifth of window width. Date column width will not go smaller than about one-third of window width. Can still shrink From | Recipient columns however doing so only increases Date to be about HALF of Tbird window width.

115.3.0 breaks Tbird for me. Thinking I need to go back to 102.15.1 via Time Machine unless this bug can be identified and addressed.

Thanks for any help.

You know how you can type a URL and then Ctr+Enter and FF autopopulates the .com? Well years ago "Shift+Enter" autopopulated ".net" and "Ctrl+Shift+Enter" autopopulated ".org".

I really liked that feature. I know a lot of people don't, or don't see its point; that's not important.

About three years ago, I added UserChrome.js and enable-UserChrome.js , which acomplished the two autopuopulating tasks quite nicely.

Until about four weeks ago. I don't know if an FF update stopped reading those two .js files, or if there's a conflict somewhere else, or what. I don't know where to begin - other than posting here for help.

Thanks in advance!

• UserChrome.js is in the subdirectory: C:\Users\[ME]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\gaydtewj.default-release-1
• enable-UserChrome.js is in C:\Program Files\Internet Shenanigans\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref (firefox.exe is in C:\Program Files\Internet Shenanigans\Mozilla Firefox )

What do I do so that only messages I have not read yet as the ones on my screen. For that matter if I can turn it on to do it, how do I turn it off later if I want to see already-read items.

Hello! I have difficulty moving my folders and accounts on Thunderbird. I've been to Account Settings and moved the accounts and folders. But on the Thunderbird home screen the folders are not changed, remain disorganized.

Observe the image1 and image2.

Given this, can you help me? I use Linux/Debian. Thanks.

I'm using Thunderbird. Select 'Write' to create a new email A window opens ... and the cursor by default is in 'To' field

If I want to send an email to my own email account either 'To' or 'CC'

I start typing the first few letters of my name and it brings up several 'old' email addresses, and these appear in the list before my new current address. Frequently I end up using wrong email address.

Is there a way to remove these 'old' options.

ON other mail programs there is the option to 'right-click' and remove entries from history

I have the portable version of Thunderbird, V115.2.3 (64-bit). I just updated it to this version. It looks pretty but the two top toolbars have changed position. Before the update I used to mostly just hit Get messages and Write. But now those buttons are tiny and on the very top level. I don't really use any of the buttons on the now lower level toolbar, so I have been trying for ages to swap them back but I can't find any control that lets me do this? Can anyone help please?
