Windows 10 on PC with Thunderbird 140.1.0esr (64-bit) Since the last update, the background on my Tbird messages list, email panel and in my compose email panel have turned from my eye-friendly light grey to glaring white and this is literally causing me a headache and a "flimmer" in my eyes (common in people with blue eyes). All other programs in Windows show me the light grey background as they should, it's Thunderbird itself which isn't picking up the light grey. The only place in all the tools and settings menus that I was able to find ANYTHING about background colour was (three bars) -> tools -> Settings -> HTML Style [ ] Use reader's default colours <- makes no difference whether this box is marked or not Beneath that: Text Colour is set to black. Background colour is set to light grey. There is no way to Save the settings page, so one presumes they are automatically saved. Restart (done several times) Thunderbird - still this blasted white background. I do not use HTML for emails, I use plain text. Could someone please tell me how I can get my light grey background back ?

I travel a lot and frequently use web services not in my native English. Safari does a great job of translating to English, but is often glitchy for other functions. So I use Firefox. But it doesn’t have the translate option!

I am trying to import my passwords and bookmarks from Chrome but the instructions available don't work. The menu options don't exist in my firefox as installed on Android tablet and it's my only device- no computer available. I am bedridden so cannot go anywhere to do anything. Chrome is overheating my tablet so I can't use it. I loved Firefox when I had a computer. Is there a way to import these without a separate personal computer?

I am unable to add new contacts in my contact list. It definitely is creating a problem. Why will it not let me add them, please and how do I fix the issue? I did not have this problem until I got a new computer and using Windows 11.

Hi,

On my desktop, thunderbird does an awesome job cutting spam. While on the mobile its terrible, not just are most spam mails coming thru but some legit emails are getting flagged. Is there some way to make it mimic the desktop.

Thanks in advance

I just installed Thunderbird on Windows 11 and find that the text used for the Message List and Folder List is too small for me. But changing the font settings does not appear to impact the text size for these two areas, even after restarting.

Am I stuck? Or is there a way to increase the font size of folder lists and message lists?

I have Verizon FIOS and have been able to receive cable channels on my laptop until recently. Now I cannot access them without a sign-in which leads to some sort of error that I don't understand. Any help?

‘accessibilty impaired for tab scrolling. SO HARF TO FIND AND KEEP CURSOR ON THE TEENEY TINY BAR. LOTS OF PAIN IN MY ARM AND HAND. no ability to join discussion. circular links. I HATE IT. AM GOING BACK TO CHROME. TAB THING WAS ONLY REASON I CAME BACK TO FIREFOX

Recently switched from a cheap Samsung phone (a15) that did not have this issue, but on my brand new Pixel 9 the address bar almost never responds immediately; I have to mash it for a solid 10+ seconds until it finally allows me to highlight text or type something. Is there a fix for this of some sort?

A cursory google search only pulled up a single reddit thread from about three months ago of someone describing a similar issue but no resolution was given, just a couple commenters chiming in to say they have also experienced this - all Pixel users.
