Since Grammarly does not support Thunderbird, what is the best grammar & spelling add-on? I am NOT French, nor do I speak it, or desire to, so the French add-ons are out. I'm left with a few. Out of those few, what grammar & spelling add-on work as closely to the Grammarly product that I know and love?

Hi, i perform a new install of thunderbird and now the layout of the messages are different from the normal from my other computer as you can see on the screenshoots... The new show the new message but with less options and info, like the mark to sign as spam or the option in the left to mark as favorite... Already see the options on the older installtion and seem equal... Anyone know how to put like the normal layout? Thanks

I connected Thunderbird to my IMAP account. In the account settings, I have in Copies & Folders -> Message Archives -> [x] Keep Message Archives in -> [x] "Archives" folder on (email address). And then in Archive Options I selected to place them in "a single folder".

However, it's not doing that. If I archive an email it ends up in a "2023" subfolder no matter what. I also tried selecting the second radio button "Other" where I then selected the same Archives folder manually.

Also, not sure if related, Thunderbird calls the folder "Archives" but my webmail calls it "Archived". In webmail, I now have a both folders showing, with both containing the same number of emails.

I am subscribed to all folders.

I've set custom fonts through Settings > Fonts > Advanced, but the fonts I have specified are not being used on any websites even if I uncheck the box that says "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above". For example, I've set the default sans serif to Source Sans 3, but websites use Arial regardless of the settings. The only custom font I've gotten to work is Segoe UI (the UI font on Windows); all other just fall back to Arial. The problem persists even if I disable all extensions/add-ons. I'm also experiencing the problem for non-Latin scripts; I've tried to set the default Bengali font to Noto Sans Bengali, but websites are using Vrinda instead.

I'm running Firefox version 120.0 on Windows 11, any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm using last release Firefox in a fresh install of Debian 12 with KDE. Trying to personalize colors and get a coherent style, I've installed Firefox Color and it worked fine, except for a few GUI elements.

I solved the scrollbars part with this answer:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1419353

Is there a similar setting for the menus? I mean in Firefox's menu bar or the ones popping over the page. The dropdown of the burguer menu and the bookmarks toolbar do get styled (I will include images showing the difference).

Thank you in advance and to zeroknight for sharing the bit about scrollbars!

I cannot adjust the message pane height to anything smaller than 10 lines. I would like to be able to pull up and resize the pane so that I see more of my message and less of the lists of messages in my folder.

Can anyone provide any help or insight as to why Thunderbird is sooooo determined to show me all of my 10 year old emails first? I have followed the documentation to change the order of emails shown but its still puts emails from 2013 right there at the top. Additionally, can anyone provide any insight as to why, and I do mean WHY, folks who are sharp enough to code an email client for commercial release are simultaneously so dull that they don't realize that setting the out of the box default sort settings of that email client to show oldest emails first is a misguided choice at best.

Thanks,

Mario

Thunderbird 115.5.0 64-bit

I suspect this is an options question but I can't find where to go with it.

I've always just opened an email attachment with the right click choice. But now when I do that it opens a window to have me save it first. Quite often I don't want to save it, that just clutters things up.

I've googled for it, and lots of answers tell me some variant of open the "app icon" (the hamburger) and go to Options. In mine there is no Options that I can find.

I hope that's clear enough, and thanks

Per Alessandro Castellani, Thunderbird is "bunch of code running on top of Firefox." The Thunderbird extension site opens up a new *browser* tab *within* Thunderbird itself. Following this train of thought, why can't I open links in new tabs within Thunderbird itself?

Say I have an RSS feed link that links to another article. I click on that, and a whole new browser window opens up instead of staying within the Thunderbird application. Rather frustrating to see, considering how Thunderbird *is* capable of displaying web pages.

Supposedly, extensions like Link in Tab fix this. More power to you if you've gotten them to work, but it's useless for me. I've tried fiddling with about:config and the TB config editor, but neither one worked for me. Any other resources I've come across through search is either mildly outdated (i.e. 2019-2021) or horrifically outdated (i.e. 2008-2012).

Is this feature that I'm looking for completely nonexistent within Thunderbird itself, or am I just doing it wrong this whole time and I need someone to point out the obvious solution? I am desperately hoping for the latter, but my intuition is telling me it's the former.

In earlier versions of Thunderbird there was a parameter which allowed me to save drafts to a local folder, rather than to the cloud. I prepare somemany emails offline and need to be able to develop the messages without being connected to the internet. I cannot find how to do this in TB 102.

Dear Madam or Sir,

since updating to Firefox 99, we are unable to view PDF files in Firefox, because we are unable to select how to handle PDF files in the settings, cf. 1.PNG We don’t have any enterprise policies enabled except for disabling updates, cf. 2.PNG. We tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it did not help, cf. 3.PNG We tried safe mode and an empty user profile, both to no avail.

This problem seems to be irrespective of the user profile because when I roam my user profile to a machine with FF 93 ESR, there is no issue and I can view PDFs in the browser.

Is there any suggestion how to return the built-in PDF viewer?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards

Victor

Hi, I've had this problem two other times with various upgrades, where my setting no longer works. I need horizontal lines between message headers in all folders. My eyes need the lines to be able to scan across and not get lost. I am using TB v115.3.3 on Windows 11 Home.

Here is an old version of my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1277758

Here is the full content of my userChrome.css file that is located here: C:\Users\Victoria\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\hid4pw25.default\chrome

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

/* Add bottom border to thread pane (message list) */

1. threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row {

 border-bottom: 1px solid grey !important;

}

Thank you for any help.

I'm not very computer savvy but I followed a website a few months ago to edit Firefox so it'd default to dark mode. I think I went in and edited source code? I can't find the instructions anymore but I'd like to revert back to the original setting. How do I do that? I tried to refresh Firefox but it's still coming back with some websites in dark mode and some not. Please advise!

Hi,

Is it possible to lock the location of folders and sub folders

I sometimes find, that when I am in a hurry, I accidentally click and drop folders into other folders unintentionally Usually happens when I have multiple email arrivals from multiple folders

Thanks Mike

How do I adjust the spacing so that the squares show in full on the side? I tried grabbing the darker gray bar, but that doesn't work.

So what have they changed it to? Cause that is irritating.

Thank you.

The Firefox icon on my taskbar has a great big green number 1 plonked on it. It doesn't seem to relate to the number of windows I have open or the processes running. It's there even when Firefox is closed. I thought it might be messages but I can't find those either. Its driving me nuts can you please tell me how to get rid of it? I'm running it in Ubuntu on a laptop.

When I haqve an email open in Thunderbird and I want to view the next email, currently, I must go back to the email list and click on the next email. I would like to have a "NEXT" button at the top of the current email in order to directly open the next email. My only choices right now are: REPLY FORWARD ARCHIVE JUNK DELETE and MORE. (see image) Is there a way to do this ? Thanks
