I do not know why but since yesterday I don't have the Orange Box in my Thunderbird home page to create a new message. I have to go into account and click on new message ( with a pen icon ). How do I get the orange box back. I have the orange area in the other pages like addresses, calendar, and the like, but not for new messages. How could I get it back because I installed a new copy of Thunderbird but it did not work. Thank you.

Thunderbird 128.9.2esr (64-bit) openSUSE Tumbleweed

How do I change the ::selection background css for text that appears in the mailnews reader and editor views? I am happy to use userChrome.css or userContent.css. Currently the selected background is too dark against my chosen dark background color. I simply need to lighten it a bit. I've been through the about:config pages looking at "color" and there isn't a setting I can find. So it appears I will need to use CSS in userChrome.css to accomplish this. I need to know what the magic incantation is to do this. I get it will involve the ::selection pseudo-element, but which tag to apply it to, any special namespace? All?

An example of the selection color I am talking about is shown in this image (attached)

Preferably, this solution should continue to work when openSUSE updates to 136/7, etc..

We have poor eyesight, so in vertical display mode, we could really benefit from having grid lines (at least horizontally) to visually distinguish each message. We have read various solutions on the Internet, but none seems to work at least not in dark theme mode, which is the default for a great many people with vision impairments (or just plain tired eyes). Perhaps some solutions that once worked have been uprooted, so to speak, during the course of Thunderbird updates.

We are used to having grid lines in Outlook (desktop). We are currently exploring switching to Thunderbird, but it needs to support our vision needs. For us, this capability is fundamental, not optional.

We are comfortable making config entries, creating and working in userChrome.css, and the like. We would be grateful for any guidance in this regard.

Thank you kindly!

I am running Thunderbird (release 140) with the Dark Theme selected. A few messages are received that are unreadable because of the text color chosen by the sender. I am wondering if there is a method to adjust a parameter for an unreadable message to make it readable. I would prefer not to have to change the Theme to Light for just a few messages!

An example is attached.

Since eclipse 140+ rolled out there is no longer a high contrast colour override, I dug through all the settings in case it was moved but I am either not seeing it or it's not there anymore. Does anyone have an option or work around for enabling high contrast without me having to roll back my version or install a different email client?

Hello developers.

I really enjoyed using Firefox on iOS. It is so much better than other browsers in terms of continuity. However, I do find that there’s one particular thing that Firefox can do better—how to access bookmarks.
“Bookmarks” on the Homepage should be able to be put on top. On the current version, the location of “Bookmarks” is fixed on the bottom of the screen, below “Shortcuts” and “Jump back in”. For many users, including myself, bookmarks are more convenient than Shortcuts. It would be great to move it up top.

And it should be able to show folders. I have a lot of bookmarks, so I have to group them in several folders. What current version does is probably guessing which specific one you want to pick and show it, and the hierarchy is dismissed. So maybe it should show it exactly how it is on the desktop.

That’s all suggestions I got. Thank you for your reading.

Hello there I have Thunderbird for Android, version 10.1, and in every folder, all mail, both read and unread, have almost the same appearance. It's not easy to tell which ones in the list are read and which are unread. Is there any setting to turn the unread messages in the folder look highlighted, or more bold, or something different anyway than the rest? Because this way it's very inconvenient, which makes me considering turning back to Outlook. Thanks in advance

Read Aloud is not producing sound in Thunderbird 128.7.1esr (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro. The app does highlight the text it is reading and progresses through the email, but there is no sound. I have checked various voices and tried to sound test the Piper voices. No luck. Windows Narrator (not ideal) will read the emails. I have checked every sound setting I can think of several times. I contacted Read Aloud support and they were unable to resolve my issue; they did confirm it worked in their Thunderbird app.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
