I was in two minds whether to post this i not as quite minor really, that said Thunderbird will be my default email client on several machines so may as well get Q's out of the way.

Changed the font size for emails and folder text which is spot on, the only other thing would be to have the title bars or column headers (subject, correspondent, date and so on) in bold as a quick glance makes them seem part of the emails.

This option is probably available similar to changing the font inside config file but I may not be searching for the right thing, 'headers' returns results for the actual message format.

On another note, in case this pops up later on, while dragging icons from the toolbar selection tray the 'delete' button didn't quite make it, the button is no longer in the tray (as an option) or on the menu ?

Many thanks all

Hello. With version 100.0 came multi-language spellchecking. I would like to know how exactly does it work, please.

For instance, if I enable both English and French, will it simply virtually add the two dictionaries and use the resulting combined list of words? Or will it try to understand if a paragraph or sentence is English and mark non-English words in that paragraph/sentence as incorrect even if they are French?

I am obviously asking this because there is no detailed information at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker.

I have been a "light theme" user for 15+ years. Since updating to 96.0 today, a dark mode spreading across Firefox has been forced onto me, including:

  • New tab background
  • Background of any tab waiting to load a page
  • Google/Youtube background
  • Settings/add-ons/password menu backgrounds
  • Automatic username/password drop-down background
  • Background of the little box that appears on the bottom-left (the one which shows the URL when you mouse over a link)

I am unhappy with this and wish to have my usual theme back. Can anyone please assist?

(In addition, there is some sort of white border around the current tab, which I do not like)

Just installed Firefox 100 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, upgrading from Firefox 56(!). The new version properly imported my previous color settings for visited/unvisited links, and visited links do change to the correct color, but for some reason, they do not reset to the unvisited color after clearing all browsing history and reloading the page. The only way I can get them to reset to the unvisited color is to close/re-start Firefox. Any idea what's going on? Thanks for any info!

When I add search engine in firefox for android, it show this. But I can add correctly on firefox for computer. By the way,this afternoon,I am very angry. Because when I want to send feedback ,I'm in a loop that 'ask now-get help-choose products-ask now'. I find if I use orginal lanuages , I can't get help relly, I can only read articles! Whatever, it spends me more than 1 hour to look for the way to send feedback,it greatly consumed my enthusiasm for this product.

Being a decade user of Firefox I must say that I started to hate it because the last editions hide the choice for enabling or disabling javascript. The stupid comand "about:config" leads nowhere and all previous answers are absurd. Why Mozilla decided to hide the option " turn on / turn off" javascript? It turned a previously great navigator into a stupid user unfriendly useless software. I use the internet for over 40 years and Firefox has always been my favourite. What obscure financial reasons made developers decide to hide the simple option of earlier editions? Please put back the "on/off" option for javascript. Untill then I'll use Chrome.

Hi, I noticed that my Junk folder has no junk messages coming into it. I know there are junk messages present because I can see them in the Junk folder when I am in Windows 10 Mail - hotmail viewer. For example there are currently 44 junk messages - including 4 today., that I can see in Mail. None of these appear in the Thunderbird Junk folder, they do not appear in the Thunderbird inbox folder either. They used to appear in the Thunderbird junk folder up until a few days, or weeks ago. I am on Thunderbird 91.9.0 with windows 10 home 19044.1682 on a PC. The Thunderbird junk mail folder is empty, What I have tried is the repair folder option, - did nothing , renaming junk.msf to junk.oldmsf then restart and let a new junk.msf be created - no effect. I have also gone to inbox selected a message marked it as junk, then ran junk mail controls - the message gets moved over correctly to the junk folder, but nothing else gets added when I run Get Messages, only non-junk messages found that go to the Inbox folder. Does anyone have any ideas ?

So does fire fox just not give a shit whether the app is usable? You've completly stripped.any ability to customize and disable useless "features" that maybe 5% of user want. Are you just trying to go out business? How about returning control to the user. How about reading the app feedback and actually responding to users instead of ignoring us.

This is more of a convenience issue but the new download panel pop-up from the download arrow is very distracting. I couldn't find an option to turn it off so I had to go into the config and turn the true flag false for this "improvement". Is there a better way of disabling this pop-up and if not will there be in future versions of firefox?
