How can I dsable the search in the adressbar?

Setting browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar (are you kidding me?) to flase does not help

I accidentally hid the menu bar and toolbars (with an accidental keyboard shortcut, I think), and when I re-enabled them, now the tab bar is above the location bar instead of right above the content windows. How do I move it back? I can't find the "browser.tabs.onTop" setting in about:config, or any check box in the View menu, settings, etc.

I'm using Firefox 119.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux.

Thanks!

I want to purge many years of "your package is on the way" spam. I don't know how to sort on two factors - first sender (amazon) and then the wording of the Subject. I want to keep the order confirmation and delivery confirmations.

Using TB 60.9.1, so if it becomes easy in a later rev let me know; I'd like to reduce the size of my files before upgrading to reduce the chance of glitches, but it if becomes simple...

Why do they spam you every few hours... Well, psychologically it keeps you thinking of that seller and supposedly likelier to buy something sooner...

I would like the address bar to show what it would show when you type a "?" just by clicking. It's a default feature in chrome, I know, mentioning a competitive browser as an example is kind of a no no, but it's the only example I can think of.

My Thunderbird main window layout (View > Layout) keeps reverting to Vertical View even though I set it to Classic View. Is there any way of setting the default layout to Classic View in the Configuration Editor?

I am trying to download the original version of an image, not the re-compressed webp version (Yes, I know some websites only have a webp format image, but I am specifically talking about sites where I can flat out see .jpg or .png in the URL but it's forcing a recompressed webp version on me instead, reddit itself is one of those sites that does this, I cam flat out see the url ending in .jpg or .png, and then a lot of other gibberish after which if I make any changes to breaks the image, and if I leave as-is forces a webp version. Wikia sites are another that do this.). A lot of what I Google on how to do this is not relevant anymore, telling me to modify a setting that no longer exists, add a variable to the URL that no longer works, or install a plugin that does not seem to work anymore and might be a security risk.

The one thing that seems to work is going to the image.http.accept setting and putting in "*/*". Problem is, I have no idea what exactly this is doing, and it looks like to me that I am somehow telling it just allow everything, which worries me if it can be a security risk or something. Can someone help me understand what exactly I am doing when I modify this setting like this and if it's a security risk to do so?

When I upgraded my Firefox, in Mac iOS, the pocket add-on is not on the new tab page. I’ve tried about. Dot config and have not found a way to restore pocket on the new tab page.

I have Outlook for business, and used to be able to use TBird for personal on Windows 10. When I changed computers (Win11 now, and Office 2023) and installed TBird, (and yes, UNchecked the "make default) on set up), TBird steals my default. This is when I am trying to email a pdf or spreadsheet, etc. where I click the email button and it generates an email with the file name as the subject. Rather than using my default Outlook (business account, mind you), the file opens in TBird. I've gone through every default in Windows, and cannot seem to locate a means of changing it in the INSTALLED version of TBird. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled multiple times ... all with the same results. Can anyone give me some insight, please? Teri HendersoTL@gmail.com

I am getting spam daily from the same person but the different emails like from outlook, gmail but the message is always the same.

How can I block these messages from coming into my mail box,

is there an AI I can activate in thunderbird? or plugin I can add?

that checks the body of the emails message that are all the same and block them.

This is just disgusting. I have informed google and outlook but it will not stop the spammer from creating new emails on those services.

Thunderbird 115's default UI is horrible in many ways. It would be extremely useful if the methods required to return it to how it was were assembled in one place, not just in dozens of individual questions.

What I want is a comprehensive list in one place. (If this new release had been done properly, there would be options to turn all these bad changes off and definitely no CSS should be required, but I gather it will be.) For a start:

• how to get the title bar back
• how to get rid of the ugly grey blobs behind the message counts
• how to get the grey background back in the mailbox pane
• how to get rid of the ugly, intrusive "CTRL + K" from the search boxes
• how to edit the tool bar to make the ugly search box go away altogether
• how to made the new message count less intrusive, preferably by putting it back the way it was (just bracketed, not in a bright blue circle)

Yes, we can search the internet for all these and many more, wasting hours of our time, but it would be much simpler if it was all in one place. Even better if it can be scripted.

I do not want videos to autoplay - I prefer to select which videos I play - but having set all the parameters I can see in about:config the videos still autoplay. I use W11. The settings I have are: • media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;2:Prompt;5:blockAll] • media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2 • media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false • media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true

Any assistance greatly appreciated

I have 3 accounts set up with a unified inbox. When I click "Get Messages" at the top it only checks the first account. When I click "file", "Get New Messages For", "All accounts", it only checks the first account. I must go into that file menu and click each account separately to check all my emails. That's 3 times. Why will the check all accounts check all accounts? Thunderbird 115.6.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 OS build 22631.3007

So I am watching a video for a class and that video player has its own closed captioning and when I am watching the video there is a different closed captioning appearing over the video even though it is not the one from the video player. I attached an image of what I see.

Some websites, like my bank, don’t let you paste into the password field. I don’t want to manually type in the password. I found a workaround:

1. Go to about:config
2. Search for dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled
3. Double-click it to change the value to "false"

But the problem is that pasting into a google document no longer works. I have to revert the value back to “true” to get copy-pasting working in a google document.

Is there a way to have the best of both worlds: paste in google docs and paste in sites that block pasting, like my bank?

Pin "Favourite Folders" to the top of the folder list so when scrolling that pane for other folders, favourites will always be visible.

I don't know if there's any more I can say about it, just would be nice to be able to have "Favourite Folders" always visible when scrolling through the folder pane.
