I had a problem with duplicated folders on Thunderbird. 'Dave' advised the solution, which related to "unsubscribing to certain files". I followed his advice and the problem was instantly resolved. I can find no other way of saying "Thank you" other than on this forum. So "Thank you, Dave".

I've been using Thunderbird for many years and recently had a crash that I hadn't noticed. Thunderbird repaired itself automatically but the absolute basic function is defective and I have tried everything, really everything, that is possible. I have checked the settings several times. Thunderbird has checked and confirmed the data on the Telekom server. When I click on 'ready' I get the message that the registration on the telecom server failed. I have screenshots of the entries. I just don't want to publish them here because the background of this blog is not secure enough for me. If there is someone who can advise me personally, I am happy to transfer the shots.

Migrating from Chrome to Firefox and cannot set Home Page different from New Window

Rather than have dedicated computers for Work and Personal use I have dedicated accounts on multiple computers. Up until now I have been using Chrome for Work and Safari for Personal. I have been having more and more issues with Chrome, so I am moving my Work configuration to Firefox. Unfortunately, I have found a MAJOR difference in behavior. In Chrome I have 9 tabs setup to open when I start Chrome (my Home Page), these are the tools I use in my job; Jira, M365, Zabbix, GitLab, Digital Ocean, and a bunch of in-house tools. I set these up in Firefox, so far, so good. Unfortunately when I open a New Window, as I often do when working a specific problem, I get all of my Home tabs and I need to go through and close them all.

So my question is WHY there is not a setting to enable Home Page separate from New Window? I did find this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281079 but it does not really answer the question as to why we cannot have the same behavior as Chrome. I understand that the current design just calls the same New Window code whether it is the first Window or the 100th Window, but setting a flag in memory once the first Window has been opened and checking that flag to determine if the New Window needs to open all the Tabs should not be that large a code change. Note I said a flag in memory and not on disk, as that would be a performance hit.

My second question is whether the powers that control Firefox would be open to such a code change if submitted? I understand how Open Source works and features that the volunteers working on code want to see are the ones that get developed.

Thank you.

Hello, Firefox is forcing the search engines into their strict safe search, which is hiding the results I am looking for. If I use the browser, for example Chrome this is not a problem and it lets me change it so I do not think it is a network problem, is there anything I can do, or you can do? I have included pictures of the Firefox and Chrome SafeSearch windows for reference. I'm afraid I can't really give you any data or anything, I'm not the best with computers so I will need help to find anything, sorry.

I have used thunderbird for many years on my desktop machine and have just bought a laptop and downloaded thunderbird on to it. On my desktop I have three colums - subject, sender, and date and can select in which order I see the emails. I want the same on my laptop but can't find a way to select this.
