I have just started using Thunderbird (version 91.0.0) and I can't find a way to disable the irritating auto double spacing using the enter key. I have researched online and found lots of various answers to the same question (some years ago). Unfortunately, the processes suggested in the answers do not relate to what I am seeing on my computer. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Thanks.

I recently had an update to T-Bird. Now, all of my incoming and outgoing emails are in black font. I prefer the blue font which I had prior to the update. I have gone into Account Settings, Settings, and Tools to try and rectify the problem. All of my font settings are set to blue but all emails, incoming and outgoing have the black font. Please help!

Thank you! viggy

I have a problem where Thunderbird automatically replies to emails sent from a company or university. Some of these emails are marked as junk, but others not. For example, I'll get an email from Google about a security alert (when logging in through my browser), and Thunderbird will send a reply to 3hxUVYwgTDSYPQ-TGRNaCEEQWPVU.IQQING.EQOTaCP.T.IWaVQPIOCKN.EQO@gaia.bounces.google.com. How can I stop this from happening? Each of these replies ends up in my inbox, effectively doubling the amount of emails I get.

See abstract. Updated to Firefox V105.0 today, and now the cursor starts in the address bar, instead of the search box middle of the page. I have tried that "about:config handoff" fix and it doesn't work for me. I think this is about the third or fourth time we have lost the "cursor starts off in the search box" functionality in the last few years, after a Firefox update. Can you code writers leave it in the search box? Please?

Hi,

Often the ctrl + m (mute tab) shortcut gets in my way while using the browser as i use this shortcut in something else. I would like to know if it is possible to disable that.

Thanks. (Message written using Google Translate)

My Firefox (Windows 10) updated to 105.0 this morning. I have https://www.google.co.uk/ as my homepage and Firefox always used to focus on the Google webpage search bar on startup.

Now it focuses on the address bar instead (i.e. https://www.google.co.uk/ is selected). How can I make it focus on the webpage search bar on startup again instead?

I already found this thread from last year https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1334131 and tried changing browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar to false but it didn't have any noticeable effect and the issue is still present.

Many thanks.

Release after release Firefox is adding more shortcuts, which is nice, but it also interferes with shortcuts people use to enable/disable extensions.

Is there a way to completely disable a given Firefox shorcut without having to rebuild it? Ideally Firefox should have a friendly way to change that (UI or config file), but I accept editing binaries files.

Also, why extensions with shortcuts like Shift+D are treated as invalid and get removed?

During composition of a plain-text message, the characters are displayed in a small fixed-width font, even though: {Preferences > General > Language & Appearance > Fonts & Colors > Default font} is set to Arial

How can I change the displayed font to a larger proportional font, such as Arial?

(Note that {Preferences > General > Language & Appearance > Fonts & Colors > Default font > Advanced > Font Control > Use fixed width font for plain text messages} determines the font displayed for received plain-text messages, not the font used in composing them.)

From my point of view, the setting " What should Firefox do with other files?" has been added in the current ESR version.

"What should Firefox do with other files?" ("Wie soll Firefox mit anderen Dateien verfahren?") . "Save files" ("Dateien speichern") . "Ask whether to open or save files" ("Fragen, ob Dateien geöffnet oder gespeichert werden sollen")

How can I control/change this setting using mozilla.cfg?

By the way:

// What should Firefox do with other files? - Wie soll Firefox mit anderen Dateien verfahren? lockPref("applications-ask-before-handling", false);

// What should Firefox do with other files? - Wie soll Firefox mit anderen Dateien verfahren? lockPref("applications-ask-before-handling", true);

works detectably via about:config but does not change the setting for "What should Firefox do with other files?".

I previously had the NoScript extension. I disabled it in preferences and restarted Firefox. It seems like one of these moz-extension:// windows were open at the time, so when I try to launch Firefox, it tries to re-create moz-extensions:// windows and dies.

I can’t start Firefox. I can’t start Firefox in --safe-mode. I’m happy to provide any debug info needed.

Running WIN10. I have used FF w Google for about 20 years, and always had new searches open in same window, new tab. Following recent refresh of FF, that seems to be not possible. Links open in new tab, but not searches. In about:config the browser.search.openintab setting is True

I have closed and reopened FF, and closed and reopened WIN10.

What might be over-riding this? Many thanks!

Preamble: for most of the day I have Firefox open with several tabs. For a specific project I want Firefox open with one tab showing a specific webpage. At the same time I don't want to delete the existing tabs in the existing instance of Firefox - I want to keep them running in the background. Question: how do I create a desktop shortcut which opens a new single instance of Firefox with a single tab showing a specific URL ?

hi, I am new to Thunderbird (v102.3.0/64-bit) and just tried to import some "Folder" trial from Eudora to Thunderbird before full scale import

here is some findings after several trial : 1/ Many Many Import/ Export Tools, most of them failed to import. No messages were shown in TB

2/ ImportExportTools NG_v12.0.1 (AddONs) - total no. of messages was imported OK, but few of emails was shown in "BLANK" without content. - it was not successfully

3/ 4n6 MBOX Converter 4.6 - I finally found this one, it was perfect to import all messages successfully, but the Last Sub-Folder Name was added in xxxx.Thunderbird.

For Example : under same folder tree Parent Folder Name OK Second Sub-Folder Name OK Third Sub-Folder Name OK "Last" Sub-Folder Name NG => become xxxx.Thunderbird

Bro, how could I change this settings instead of rename over hundreds folder name ?? or any setting before Import and keep my original folder name ??

Photo 1 = Folder Name condition after Import Photo 2 = Settings shown in 4n6 MBOX Converter 4.6 before Export

I appreciate the quick reply from your support staff yesterday. I followed instructions and was able to turn off the GIFs but FOR ONLY ONE TIME. As soon as I exited Firefox, or even the current page and returned to it they were back on. How do I keep them off permanently?

My muscle memory has me constantly clicking just slightly to the right of where the furthest right tab is. It feels weird stretching alllll the way right or alll the way left. I've tried both spots and it just feels unatural to me. Obvioulsy I'll get used to it after a while its just I'd like it to be back to where I'm used to it being.

I'm wondering where the buttons for extensions/add-ons have their locations stored? I.e. I might have a tab-renamer extension button on one row, and firefox relay, privacy mode, and adblocker on another row. Obviously what row and what positions in the row the buttons occupy(relative index perhaps) are stored, but where?

Hi. Thunderbird is not showing all of my folders, there are about 40 missing. The option for ALL is checked in Folders. I used to have access to these folders but now they are gone. I use SKY as my email provider which is linked to Yahoo. All my folders are visible when I use Windows Mail. I have used Thunderbird for at least 10 years and do not want to move away if possible. Could the fact that Thunderbird is not supported by Yahoo be the problem? The IMAP & SMTP settings are correct as I do not have any problems receiving or sending emails. The folders do exist on the Yahoo mail site. I am using Windows 11.

I would be grateful for any help or guidance.
