Hello everyone, my thunderbird 78.10.2 (64-Bit) win10 does not reopen it's tabs on startup. This behaviour started some months ago after an update. I tried to delete the session.json file, but it doesn't help. In fact my thunderbird here does not create a new session.json file as it should if I understood other replies to that topic correctly. In the session.json I can see the tabs listed which were open back in the day.

What can I do to fix that?

Thank you for reading,

Michael

Hello everybody!

I just updated my firefox to the newest version - and I absolutely hate the new design. Is there any way to "keep" the newest version, but have the older design?

I know that installing the version before the design got updated would be a possibility, but for various reasons I would like to avoid doing that - at least if there is any other option. If not, I'll just have to do that I guess.

Help would be very much appreciated!

Greetings

A delay of a few hours up to a day on both sent and received emails

Hello,

I sometimes have people tell me that my e-mails have reached them too late, e.g. today my colleague sent an e-mail at 13.36 and it arrived at 15.31. The same with receiving: some time ago I clicked a "forgot your password" link and it took 24 hours before I got the automatic e-mail to change my password. I had it on my work e-mail in Thunderbird as well that people asked me "have you received my message yesterday?"

I use several e-mail addresses (of different hosts) in Thunderbird and for my work e-mail, I already checked with the host and the problem is not with them, so I think it has to be Thunderbird.

It's definitely not on all e-mails, so I think that it happens when Thunderbird doesn't succeed in sending it immediately. Once there is a delay, the delay is simply too long or something?

Good day. I use Firefox exclusively as my browser. I have a MacBook Air, with all updates in place.

I post to a university blog. Lately, the posted text is accompanied at the end with a long list of font instructions. These instructions do not show up in the copy, no matter which word processing program they're created on. (The text comes from various authors. I copy and paste.)

It's not a huge problem to solve--highlight and delete. Still, puzzling and annoying.

Today I tried a test posting of my own text (Word), using Firefox, and then using Safari.

The font instructions appeared using Firefox, and did not appear using Safari. I have to conclude that it's a Firefox artifact. Wrong? Right? You tell me, please.

Is there some instruction or direction or place to check a box that will make the font instructions not magically attach to my copy?

The font instructions do not appear when I post the same copy on Facebook, nor when I copy and paste any other document anywhere. For instance, they do not appear when I post photos to accompany text.

I would appreciate any light you can shed on this.

Most kind thanks.

Sync IMAP folders work BUT no notification of new message unless clicking on folder

Hi,

Running Thunderbird 78.10.2 on Linux.

I use an IMAP mailbox. It connects well, no issue. I can see all remote subfolders.

My problem is : whenever new mails arrive and are automatically moved to a subfolder : Thunderbird seems not to be aware of it. The rules to move mails in subfolder are applied remotely on server. If I manually click on the subfolder : then only will it display that there are new messages in it.

(which is a problem : I have to know there are mails there to be made aware that there are mails there :) )

Strange thing : when I START thunderbird : it's fine. All new emails even i subfolders are notified.

But then, after automatic check or manually clicking on "Get Messages" ... then the subfolders are not notifying that they have new content.


Using only one extension (provider for google calendar). Did try to disable it : same behaviour.

Why is spell check not finding words that exist? It also can't guess the right word despite having all of the correct letters. Why is it working so poorly?

Sexualizes

Apparently not a word. I am seeing red squiggles.

But the option I am given are Serializes, and Equalizes.

It's not seeing the word that does exist. Sexualize. It actually doesn't accept that either.

Sexual is the word I am given as a correct option.

I don't know what is wrong. But your spell check isn't doing spelling or grammar. I could forgive one. But it's failing on both tasks.

Like if I type a word incorrectly lets use "constitttuiton" That's wrong.

Yet, Constitutions is my first option, not Constitution. No extra s. A bunch of t's. But why does it assume I mean plural? Not just the regular word?

It's not understanding tense, or context. Idk. I simply know it's broken. Please fix it.

And yes I've done all the "troubleshooting" provided. Aka uninstall and reinstall the dictionary.

Hi, I accidentally DLed FF88 without checking the details w/r/t functionality.

Several of the changes severely compromise my ability to use FF for my job.

Examples are the 'view image' which is now gone from right-click and replaced with 'open image in new tab' --this disrupts my work flow. And 'save image to pocket' etc is not useful for me, but happens to be right where I normally click on another function.

Is there a relatively seamless way to undo the FF88 'upgrade' ? TIA
