I hope Mozilla does not add another icon next to the address bar, otherwise it may not be possible to select the address... Do you know a way to edit these icons so they get out of the way? I would't mind disabling translation (not used) or share (accessible via main menu) and the spacing on the icons could use some work too

Recently Mozilla had the brilliant idea of doing something they've done before...obscuring the URL/Address from the user. So now when you search the URL bar never shows the address your query is sent to because "usr 2 stoopid, need dum." Mocking aside how do you disable this trash. I just came back to Firefox being fed up with Mozilla pulling idiotic pointless weekly UI/Behavior rug pulls like this and...well some things never change.

Version 128.11.esr I see no way to move the menu back to the top which is where Windows OS/2 Linux and many other OS put it There are links saying going to setting and use Search Type Legacy but I cannot see any option like that in the latest settings.

As Someone who has an award for 508 Compliance, that is the US Federal requirement for accessibility to software. You should always keep it simple. The menu should always be at the top because that is what people use to decide to do.

The younger generation think a search bar is the starting point for finding things. You do not remember the desktop environment I grew up and still live in successfully today.

The main advantage if living on a desktop today is that is free of charge and I do not need to revise my hardware every 10 years let alone every couple of years because it still works and it is secure.

I have arranged my life so I do not have to move to dramatically reduce my carbon foot print. If you accept that environment desktops rule OK.

Also only having emails or events or tasks planning or finance on the screen gives you way more room to read things. I use two monitors because I have a lot to read. I choose what I want from a menu.

I use a search bar once I am on the right window

There should at least be an option to have the menu at the top.

It is the sort of decision that could loose you customers because it makes your product harder to use for those of us who grew up in a desktop environment not on a Web Page. And people who have to work in the US Federal Government.

In my web browser I always have the menu visible and at the top. Then the tabs then the URI editor The search bar is the third line down not at the top. Followed by the bookmarks toolbar then the web page.

Having the same format in every product would makes your products consistent and easier to transition between.

In the latest version of Thunderbird things have moved around for what to me seems zero benefit.

I would repeat an old maxim that has made me one of the more efficient programmers. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I am efficient because I spend most of my working out what not to change because it works. So actual hardly do anything.

One reason banks liked OS/2, was because it never needed rebooting. One bank had an OS/2 server running continuously for 10 years. When it eventually did break they had trouble finding it because no one had touched it for 10 years.

Enough ranting, thank you for what is otherwise a great product. Just be open to the fact that some of your customers would be happier if you just applied security updates and left the UI exactly the same as it was for the rest of time.

Having written utilities for Citrix Systems Inc. that ran exactly the same business logic running on 8 OS. It would be nice to have the same level of consistency in Thunderbird.

The issue with that goal is you structured your menus differently on Linux than Windows, so making things completely consistent would cause some unavoidable movement of items in the menu.

I started getting error messages to say that my account was rejected at the server, This happened on all my email accounts. I obviously checked that the configuration of the accounts was correct although they had been working previously. I removed my VPN and Firewall, removed the app and deleted residual data and then re-installed. I still have the same/similar problem, when i try to add an account i get a message saying "Unable to login to Server, probably the wrong configuration, username or password" All of which have been checked multiple times.

I use the IRS form filler to pay my taxes...have for years with Firefox browser. This year (for 2024 return) when I sign into the site the 1040 form does not display correctly. the boxes are to the right and below the actual placement. I emailed IRS who said it is a setting in Firefox. I tried the site using Microsoft EDGE and it displays correctly. I have searched for possible solutions and tried them all like using/on and off excelerator, letting Firefox chose size and colors of sites, turned off Noton etc. I posted another question here but no replies or looks so maybe I did something wrong so I will try to post again. I have W10 fully updated and Firefox too up to date. I understand I could use Edge but never had to and prefer to use Firefox as I have before. any suggestions would be appreciated or where I can report a possible issue with Firefox. I have attached a sample. thank You

For the past few months, I've been getting this error and been searching for possible solutions. None of which have worked. I am also not using Kaspersky AV. With this, I'm asking if there's anything else I can do.

Here are the solutions I've tried: 1. Troubleshoot mode / disabling add ons 2. New profile 3. Clearing cache / cookies / dns 4. Changing "DNS over HTTPS" & proxy settings 5. Disabling firewall / AV / VPN 6. Chrome loads the site but I do not want to resort to this. Using developer mode browser does not work either for firefox.

I have imap-email accounts with too many folders I have created. I wanted to reduce the folders' amount and move mails between folders. crtl-a selects all mail in a folder, then with the right click menu of the mouse copy or move etc. It just does not do that. Only a small amount of mails is transferred. Same with grab and move to the folder. I then tried to move the mails to a local folder, delete them and move them from the local folder to the destination. Same problem. They would not move to the local folder. Is there any configuration limiting the intended moves?

I have a couple of hundred filters and one of them occasionally kicks in and unexpectedly moves certain messages to a new folder but I can't figure out which filter it is. Rather than me going through every filter manually, can't Thunderbird tell me which filter affected a given message? I'd like to be able to right-click a message and be shown the exact filter(s) which affected it.

I don't know if It's exclusive of firefox, but some websites, mostly wikis, open a "translate" field that automatically creates a new website, wich causes the images and some other stuff on the website to break. I tried disabling the translation on about:config off, as show in some other questions, but it did not work. This is being really annoying because it keeps breaking websites unless i get to the original link.
