i am wondering, is there a way to automatically have my posted question emailed to me? Meaning, when i post a question here, can i choose that a copy of it be sent to me? (many other sites, such as google and ebay, have this option, and it is very helpful).

thanks!

Thunderbird 91 Mail List View Changes After Folder Compact

I carefully set up my mail list to view->sort by->received, view->sort by->ascending, view->sort by->grouped by sort. When I get the pop-up that requests Thunderbird wants to compact my folders (I think?) and I click on do it now (or something like that, this is from memory), my mail list is changed to date, descending, unthreaded (again from memory, but something like that). Most annoying. There are other operations that unexpectedly wipe out my mail list view settings, but I haven't isolated them yet. Feels like a bug to me.

I am running Thunderbird 91.7.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

I connecting to my mail server via IMAP. The server has no message retention policies. All Email sits on the server until it is removed via Thunderbird.

For Trash, Spam and Sent messages I wanted to enable a message retention policy that would cause these folders to have messages older than 30 day deleted automatically. I want all other folders to retain messages until I manually delete them.

I access the Folder Properties and choose the Retention Policy tab. Here I uncheck Use my Account Settings and select Delete Messages more than 30 days old.

FWIW I have tried the account settings set to both Don't delete any message and Delete all but the most recent 9,000 messages.

So far this has not triggered and the folders are gathering more and more messages.

It is not clear to me how the retention policies are triggered.

Grateful for advice.

I am using Firefox 98 in Linux Mint 20 64bit. I notice that "Your browser is being managed by your organization." appeared in settings. I dont know when exactly appears but it is after one of the last updates. Is there a way to fix? I can see topics related to Windows and Avast, but this is in Linux.

When I click on a PDF attachment in my Gmail account it opens in a pop up window and I can read it fine. If I click download it downloads the file but if I click print it also downloads the file. Can I get Firefox to just print from there or must it be downloaded first?

If I click the downloaded file it starts Acrobat Reader and then I can print it but that seems a little long winded.

Thanks...

When I go to log into my Microsoft Account using their Edge browser, I get the proper login window. (see attachment-upper part) When I attempt to log in to my Microsoft Account using Firefox I get the garbage in the lower half of my attachment, and the page DOES NOT work. It always used to work, and I don't remember changing any settings. I want to use Firefox and Bing Rewards, but if it won't let me log into my Microsoft Account I can't access Bing Rewards! I don't want to use Edge, I have always preferred Firefox. What's going on?! Thanks for any help, Dave

I used to be able to download a file and continue browsing. Now, the list of downloaded files pops up from the menu bar and I have to close it every time. This is a real pain in the butt when I'm downloading dozens of files.

Does anyone know how I can turn this off?

Hi all, I need to edit my Gmail mailto link to have a "/u/1" within it, because my default mailbox is not the one I want to be emailing from when I click a mailto link, but the URL within the settings menu is locked for editing. Is there an INI file or some sort of command line edit I can make please? I have another mailto link saved within Firefox that I need to use occassionaly so I can't use any solution that locks me to Gmail. Thanks in advance.

Is there are Firetray like extension that works on RockyLinux?

I'm using Thunderbird 91.7.0

I want an icon to appear when I have a new message and disappear after I read the message or click in that folder and click away.

I tried Birdtray but I get the error “Sorry, system tray cannot be controlled through this add-on on your operating system”.

I've found a few other extensions but they all have been abandoned like Firetray.

Highlighting an email in the inbox list or when reading an email, a right-click brings up a pop-up menu which includes options to "move to/copy to" the email to a folder. The sub-menu for move or copy contains "Recent' and "Favorites." The Favorites option is empty. How is this configured as I would like to use it instead of going through the Recents list?

Thanks

So, there was a download that I did not download as I suspected malware. I did a preview of the file and I probably should not have done that. It was adding Google Hangouts, doing something with my mic, and would be hidden. I don't know if you can see the string in the image.

So, it was probably supposed to go on Chrome, but I opened in FF. So, I was worried it would be hidden in my browser. I did a refresh to get rid of malware, but my extensions came back. So, if there is a hidden extension, or malware, that would come back too. No?

I uninstalled Chrome.

Hello Mozilla Support!

I just installed Firefox 98.0 this morning. I was very surprised to discover that I can no longer view an attachment in Firefox or open an attachment without also downloading it.

If you can, please ask the developers to reinstate the Download Attachment options to "Open with Firefox" and "Open with [select the program]" without automatically downloading every attachment.

Thank you!

The latest version is displaying a download dropdown after a download, and I can't figure out how to stop it. In previous versions the answer was to go to Tools Menu > Options > General Tab > Download Section, but that doesn't seem to exist any more.

How do I stop that annoying dropdown from appearing?
