Thunderbird recently updated to 115.4.1 (64-bit) for my Windows computer

I HATE IT, I can't find anything. I can't have it get email for a specific email address (I have 9 different email addresses that I manage for me, mom, dad, hubby and kids)

I need to be able to see them like before

I also want to get rid of the the emails being grouped together from 1 specific person I want them all separate

How can I roll this version back, how do I "ungroup" the emails ?

Thanks Tina Keeling

I am new to Thunderbird and I run a mac mini using macOS Catalina 10.16.7 with Thunderbird v115.4.1. how do I get the date/time to display within the email so I know when it was sent? after installing the app the date/time only seems to be displayed in the listing of email. when looking at the email itself I do not see any date information, even if I open the email in a new window.

My apologies if this has been asked/answered but I did not see this topic when looking at the FAQs

I keep getting Mozilla Firefox Pop Up Windows stating my System is infected via

nvtyk.magmaartisan.top.

I have run windows defender and avg anti-virus software to check my computer which cannot find a problem.

I have also tried to find where this is being called from within Firefox settings and windows services.

How do I get rid of this, am I infected and what can happen?

I would like to know why Firefox will not open links on certain websites. I am able to browse to these sites just fine. However, while navigating through said sites, sometimes links will not open. They do open in MS Edge and Google Chrome. One example is on the Kreg Tool website - https://www.kregtool.com/shop/workspace/bench-system-components/universal-bench-base-with-standard-height-legs/BENCH-BASE-STANDARD.html - I am not able to select the bench size from the drop down list. Firefox goes into a loop then I have to refresh to get out of the loop. Hopefully someone can explain this or provide a workaround.

Thanks much.

I hope you didn't intend it, but what on earth have you done in the most recent Thunderbird "update"? Almost every day I delete an email from my inbox by right-clicking and selecting delete from the drop-down. Maybe the chain is complete, quite often it's something suspicious that has slipped by the spam filters and I simply do not want to open it, sometimes it's a delivery company telling me that my parcel has arrived, which I already know. It is always a simple operation and I carry on with my activities. Now however, when I do this, the inbox resets to the very beginning, to the first email that I did not delete, back in 2010 when I first became a user, and I have to scroll through 13 years to get back to today.

Please fix it, quickly. Derek Peters

My daily backups of my personal account on a ubuntu-derived system are enormous. The first problem I found was the directory .cache, full of kinds of things that change daily and don't belong in a backup. I eliminated this directory from the backups, halving their size. So far so good. But the incremental backups are still huge, even on days where I've barely used the system at all.

The next biggest questionable directory is .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release and in particular .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/storage

$ du -sh .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/storage 2.2G .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/storage

It's pretty clear what program creates this and regularly changes it contents. Examining the files suggests that most or all of them are useless in a data-recovery type situation. But I'm not sure.

What's in this directory? Will the path change when I update to a new version of firefox, using normal ubuntu tools? Is there an rsync pattern I can use to identify all possible directories with this function, so as to teach my backup script to ignore not only the current directory, but the one I'll get when I next update firefox?

Are there other directories created/populated by firefox that shouldn't be in backups, besides .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/ and .cache/mozilla ?

Note that I'm on an ubuntu derivative, using the packages from the distro repositories; it's more than possible that paths are determines at build time, by the people who configure and build those packages.

Used Thunderbird for years. No issues. Following upgrade to current version:

1. Usually opens multiple email tabs 2. Most current email is not visible. Drops below bottom line. Must scroll to see it. 3. If you delete the highlighted email, the next email is highlighted so light you can barely see it. 4. Often jumps to othe emails.

Ver 115.4.1

Older version was rock solid. Not sure if these are "features" or problems.

When I am on a web site most of the time there is a link used to send an email to their company. How do I configure Thunderbird to be the default email client to write and send my message? Right now Windows Live Mail is the default

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. We run two separate mailboxes and always sort by date with most recent at the bottom. It seems that whenever we switch from one mailbox to the other, the focus seems to jump to somewhere in the middle of the message library, rather than the 'bottom'/newest message. We scroll to the bottom, and then switch back again to the other mailbox and find our focus again somewhere in the middle...

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. Somehow 'threading' keeps getting activated randomly. It is not being manually activated since the 'View' setting is not even normally displayed. We have to keep looking for the setting to turn it off as it is a feature that we do not like to use.

Since the new update, when I delete a message, the message "window" scrolls and I have to scroll back to where I was. This is very annoying and wastes time. I hope my description makes sense.

Hi,

I can't seem to be able do disable search suggestions, or at least make them appear after my bookmarks and browsing history, i.e. I used to be able to type "gm" and the first option would be my Gmail, not a google search for those letters.

If "provide search suggestions" is on, the box to show them "ahead of browsing history in address bar results" is greyed out and can't be toggled; if it is off, then the sub-option turns on.

This makes the autocompletion feature basically useless.

Is there some other way to change this? I've tried restarting the browser after a settings change, with no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird displays messages as a long list. It never did that before an update, and now I can not find out how to turn that nonsense off! I don't want to see every message from some person tabbed across the screen when I search for their name. I want to just pick one message, often a recent message.

How do I search for a message from a random person and only get one message I choose to view?

Usually I don't properly close my applications before rebooting or shutting down my machine. Firefox then restores my previous session, which I don't want.

I've tried the following but this didn't work:

• Verify "Open previous windows and tabs" isn't checked
• set `browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes` to 0
• set `browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash` to false

Do you have any idea, why this doesn't work? or any other ideas how I could disable this?
