TB crashed so I uninstalled/reinstalled it. As part of the reinstallation, I selected the "load more" value as 1000 more. This was done rather casually and without any consideration. Afterwards, I thought perhaps this might slow Thunderbird down. Is that true? And how do I change "1000 more" to some other value? I've searched extensively but can't find a solution anywhere. Thanks, Ian

I just want Thunderbird to show remote images automatically without me clicking the button. Just show all images. The setting you ask me to change does not exist.

How do I change Thunderbird's icon back to the older version? The new version looks a lot like Signal's icon. When I have a taskbar full of icons, I have to look carefully to make sure I'm selecting the correct icon for the app I want to switch to. It's annoying. Thanks

Earlier in the year I installed Thunderbird onto a new PC having previously used an older version on an older PC. When visiting a web site (and clicking on an email hyperlink there) my previous version used to automatically launch Thunderbird but the new version doesn't do that any more (i.e. clicking email hyperlinks doesn't do anything at all)

I'm running on Windows 10 and using Thunderbird version 150.0.2. I this likely to be due to some setting in Thunderbird? Or is it maybe something I need to configure in Windows?

Hello,

I am on Thunderbird 150.0.2 for Windows.

I am really suffering here. I need to change the font weight of unread messages. In a non-threaded list.

The default weight I get with my preferred font (Trebuchet MS) is not bold. It is BLACK. When I say BLACK, I mean ultra bold, display font, heading weight. Heavier than the boldest font that even exists in the font family. Thunderbird is creating this ultra mega black font by taking the bold font variant and applying a faux bold effect to it. The result is that the text is so heavy that it takes up twice as much horizontal space as the ordinary bold font variant. This becomes a usability issue because it's not possible to see the date, sender, and subject at the same time.

I have struggled and strived with userchrome.css. Spent hours combing through forums here and elsewhere. I've already enabled the mystery setting in the config editor. I put userchrome.css where it is supposed to be.

I saw a blog post from Mozilla that says "userchrome.css is not supported". What is the actual meaning of this? That it has been actively blocked from working anymore, ever, for anyone? Or that users are taking risks if they create userchrome.css? Why can't developers speak plain language? "Not supported" could mean many things.

When I go to the Style Editor, userchrome.css does not exist there. Which leads me to believe that user customizations are absolutely deprecated and we are not permitted to use userchrome.css.

I tried editing some of the rules in the Style Editor, but could not determine any way of actually storing the changes. When I click Save, I get a dialog where I can **EXPORT** the file. But I can't seem to actually save the changes, because CSS files do not appear to exist in the installation directory. It must be compiled into some library.

This is extremely unsatisfying and super frustrating. Just getting straight answers to things is super difficult, nothing stays the same for more than a couple months, and up to date information either does not exist or is not found by any search engine.

So, please help. I just need to change one setting, the font weight of unread messages. Since Thunderbird is allegedly open source, I thought I would have some ability to make such changes. But the Style Editor doesn't seem to actually be an editor, but merely a read-only interface to precompiled rules? If I wanted to change the font weight of unread messages, would I be forced to compile my own version of Thunderbird? I'm not competent to do that, and it would probably either prevent updates, or the updates would break my changes.

Please help, I am super desperate. I need to see the date, sender, and subject all at the same time. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask.

I would gladly pay for an email client that gives me control over my data *and* allows me to control the UI, but apparently that doesn't exist.

The spacing of the Subject column label is inconsistent and apparently not under the control of a user. In the graphic with yellow notations, the leading space for Subject is much larger than any of the other column labels shown.

Also, in the graphic with red notations, the leading space for Subject is even larger; I "applied columns to ... Folder ..." yet both folders are not the same as the leading blank space for the Subject column header is different from the "copy from" folder.

I cannot find anywhere that this is controllable by the user. Please advise on both issues: too much space on the Subject column before the word Subject and the inconsistency of the Apply Columns To feature.

Thank you.

1. There is not a relevant "topic" above for this question 2. How can I print a 1 page email on 1 piece of paper? View headers are set to Normal. I get one page with From, To, Reply to, & Subject then body on next page. I used to just select Print and my emails printed normally. I have been using Thunderbird for more than 20 years with out this problem

Здравствуйте! При установке параметра "Настройки - Основные - Открывать Firefox автоматически при загрузке компьютера" в реестре создается запись HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run - Mozilla-Firefox-E385C0CFD98A494C: "путь-к-файлу\firefox.exe" -os-autostart Что за параметр командной строки -os-autostart? На на сайте поддержки Mozzila не нашел, ни интернет не подсказал. Я понимаю, что это автозапуск Firefox при запуске Windows. Но что конкретно делает данный параметр?

Hello (this might fit better in "performance & connectivity?): Tbird 140.10.1 & .2 esr. W11p laptop v23. As of tonite (15may26), after update from 140.10.1 to .2, in a message, the "buttons" for a web link no longer appear, in the msg body. Instead the link is shown in full. How can I fix that?

Here's an example (others are longer) from our local rag "Press Democrat."

I also closed & re-opened tbird, did NOT reboot laptop. Problem remains.

Thank you.

I reinstalled Windows on my PC along with Thunderbird. I can not find how to set the view to the way it was.

I added two jpgs to show the difference. (The way it is now and The way I want it to look.) Is there a way to change the way Message List looks ? ( I guess the Message List is the upper right part of the screen?)

I've been using Thunderbird for about two months now and I just realized that Thunderbird (150.0.1) seems to be unable (or unwilling) to use some of the fonts that are on the computer (Windows 10, plenty of RAM and disk space).

Let me explain that I don't send a lot of emails, and most of the ones I do send are just a few lines so I had not had any reason to bother with the font -- the default font was fine -- until today...

Today my experience with fonts in Thunderbird was extremely disappointing. It started when I was composing an email and I copied/pasted some text from a web page into the email. Rather than treating the pasted text as simply text to have in the default font, Thunderbird put it in some strange font and size. This might have been Thunderbird's attempt to use the font from the website but neither the font nor the size resembled the text that I had copied/pasted. That was when I noticed that Thunderbird does not let you choose the actual size but only offers the choice to make text larger or smaller. Making the text smaller was sufficient for that particular time.

As I finished the email, I tried to sign my usual signature. Thunderbird lets you choose the font but once I had chosen the font that I routinely use for my signature, I discovered that Thunderbird totally ignores the choice that it just let you make. Instead of displaying the signature in the chosen font, it displayed my signature in a plain sanserif font.

I could live with a limited choice of fonts -- I have used another program where the only choices were serif and sanserif -- but I cannot understand why Thunderbird would offer a font choice menu that includes all my installed fonts when it actually only honors three choices. The only fonts reliably used seem to be some generic sanserif font that Tunderbird calls Helvetica/Ariel, a generic serif font that it calls Times and another serif font it calls Courier.

The dropdown menu lets me choose any of the fonts I have installed, some of them display properly while composing the email, others don't. If I send the email to another of my email addresses, Thunderbird displays the text the same way -- some fonts are correct and some fonts get replaced with one of Thunderbird's generic fonts.

I'd really like to have all my fonts available -- but that doesn't seem to be possible with Thunderbird so I guess I need to figure out which fonts Thunderbird is willing to use.

I need predictability where I can find it. Thunderbird opens how I left it, so I never know what's going to appear when I start it the next day. Isn't there some setting so that it always opens showing all 3 panes, regardless of my laziness at exit? It would also help with my autohotkey script if it knew what to expect. I suspect the lack of answers in my search suggests there is no such setting. How about a command line argument?

" attach the signature from a file instead "

I put the URL in there and it does not retain it and use it as signature image. It is a jpg. It browses in a URL on my browser and loads fine but T/B refuses to allow it.

Suggestions ?
