I used THIS link to change mousewheel.with_control.action to 5, which allows for using the scroll wheel to pinch zoom. My only issue is that it is extremely cumbersome, with 3 full rotations of the wheel required for a 2x zoom. Is there any way to increase the amount per tick it zooms in by?

I have read through all 3 of the following posts linked below on this issue, and cant make it out.

I am trying to move the find bar to the top of firefox. Tried the really long codes suggested, and the short ones. Yes, I enabled "true" in the config settings. Added the chrome folder and text file, I think in the right section. Restarted firefox lots of times upon each code I tried, still not working.

Any ideas? thanks!

Hello, I am essentially cross-posting from the Mozilla connect forum as the original thread is there, and that isn't really the right place. (https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/thunderbird-mark-message-as-read-on-delay-marks-it-as-read/td-p/39088)

Anyway: Ever since I've used Thunderbird (starting at version 68 or 78, don't remember), the "mark messages read after delay" setting has never been respected. All messages are marked as read immediately after opening, thus not respecting my setting of 10 seconds.

I am using the current Thunderbird and when I have the email clients collapsed the page is a general one that lets me create new mail or calendar accounts. I would like to not see that and perhaps just see a clean, tidy, blank page. How can I do it?

Hello, I recently stopped having the lines that link every email in a thread. I think it's easier to see in the photos. The one with dark background is with the missing lines while the one with light background is showing the lines. Is there a way to turn the lines back on? Thanks,

On FF 120.0.1 and Tab Reloader 0.6.1

I have FF set up with 7 tabs as home page, 6 of the tabs have tab reloader set to reload ever 1 hour. This has worked fine for years, the tab reload for the 6 tabs were saved after restarting FF. I didn't have to go back and tell tab reloader to reload after restarting FF. Maybe once and a while one tab didn't get the reload saved on a restart, usually always the same one.

Now when I restart FF none of the tabs have saved the setting to reload every 1 hour.

This has been going on for the last 2 releases of FF updates and there hasn't been any updates for tab reloader. Does anyone know why this is happening, I haven't changed anything in settings. I did uncheck hardware acceleration to see if that would fix another issue, but tabs weren't reloading after restart prior to that change on hardware accelation.

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird on Windows and Linux for years, and I'm very happy there.

I just bought a nice Chromebook with an i5, 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD.

Chomeos installs a container of Debian Linux 11 and supports flatpak apps too.

I've tried using the debian apt install thunderbird and the Flatpak version too. Mostly 115.*.

I can't get any extensions to install directly, or after downloading the .xpi file. Thunderbird never lets you click on the last button to get the extension to install. Thunderbird must be force closed.

So, my success has been to choose debug extensions, and install the file as temporary. THIS WORKS! The extensions load and operate perfectly.

The downer is I'm having to re-install the temporary addons every time I run Thunderbird.

I'm willing to do some extended troubleshooting, debugging, upload logs, pics, whatever you folks need to provide a solution for this.

I'll install whatever beta/daily versions there are in order to get this resolved for everyone with a Chromebook. It seems there are lots of other folks with Chrome OS Linux that can't load extensions.

It is "technically" I think a Linux virtual machine or as they call it a container.

I have lots of other Linux apps running happily. Libre Office runs great, as do video editors, etc...

I'm even willing to do a screencast video reproducing the problem. I'll do that later on. I'll post a link to the video so experts can watch exactly what happens. A 2 minute video is often better than text.

If anyone wants to do remote debugging, or connect, or have me set up adb debugging I will do that also.

Anyway, let me know exactly what additional information is needed.

I'll post a short video in a bit.

Thanks.

I ran Thunderbird - p to get the list of Profiles and renamed my Profile SuperNova to DA.

However, when I checked the Profile name in C:\Users\david\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles, the name is not DA but is still SuperNova so can someone tell me why it has not renamed the profile?

Thanks.

I have created sub-folders under the inbox and then created filters to "move" incoming emails from the inbox to one of the appropriate sub-folders. However, while that worked in the past, now while it does take the incoming email and transfers it to the sub-folder, it is leaving emails in the inbox, in effect doing a copy and not a move. As no indicator or the email number appeared next to the inbox, it wasn't until I actually clicking on the inbox where I found almost 1,000 emails there that I had already managed from the sub-folders. I have double checked the message filters, and it definitely indicates to move the emails, not copy.

Is it possible to set the folders pane "on top of" the messages pane?

This could be very useful in screens on portrait mode or very large screens where you use Thunderbird on just a small "slice" of the screen.

Thanks

120.0.1 (Build #2015988378), a61decd90e+ GV: 120.0.1-20231127143053 AS: 120.0.1

Cannot set Firefox as default browser, the bar will not move to the right. Disabled both add-ons but that didn't help.

Recently reinstalled Firefox because it kept freezing so I don't want to do this again.

Thank you.

Does anyone out there know of a replacement for the Tab Groups replacement app? I have not updated Firefox past the v.55 only because I don't think it would work w/ any newer versions. I have found this to be the very best app I have ever used as I need to do a lot of research online and need something that will show all the windows and tabs on one page so I can easily go back and forth to a particular group quickly. Without this, I would have to spend hours finding the info and would only have one window in which to work. Ideally, a replacement would be able to use all the window/tab info I now have. Is there some way I could use this in some sort of legacy mode? I have several legacy apps, but can't readily recall how to do so. I think I tried this w/ the Tab Groups app and it didn't work, but am not certain. Suggestions much appreciated! Thanks, Wolfgang

I am trying to migrate from a very old version of Firefox (v. 55) to the current one, but there is an app that is more helpful to me that all the other features combined. That is the "Tab Grouping" app that will not run in any version of FF higher than v. 55.

In my work, which often includes a tremendous amount of research, I need to be able to quickly go from one group of tabs to another. If I had to open all these sites manually, that would take the better part of the day and frankly I don't have near the mental capacity to remember the tremendous number of tabs. I have had a couple replies (Thanks!) to this question sometime back, but unfortunately none were even close in performance.

So, can anyone direct me to an app that will allow very quick movement from different sets of windows/tab groups (please see screen shots below)? Is there anyway that I can get this app to work in Legacy mode? I have several other old apps that work perfectly well in this mode.

I read my email by using the "n" (for next) shortcut in the message list pane. When the current message is at the bottom of the message list pane, I see the subject previous messages that I already read on top. The messages that will be next do not show. As a result, I have no way to anticipate what will come next, cannot quickly move to messages in the same thread.

Is there a way to make it so the current message is always in the middle of the message pane instead of being always at the bottom when "n" is used or always at the top when "p" is used, which hides the messages that are next to be displayed in both cases?

In the attached screenshots to illustrate what I want, the good one is where the current message is in the middle. The bad one is where the current message is at the bottom of the message list pane.

I am using version 115.5.1 of Thunderbird, all my folders are set to unthreaded view but Thunderbird will regularly turn one or several folders back to threaded view. When I say regularly I mean almost one time or more per 8 hours work day. I tried to identify a pattern, an action, a keyboard combination, anything really but I can't seem to find it. Today I literally just stepped away from my screen, came back 20 minutes later and found my folder in threaded view. It is driving me crazy.

How can I stop Thunderbird from forcing me to use this threaded view I do not want?

Every time I create a new local folder in Thunderbird the columns shown default to this:

  Thread, Starred, Attachments, Read status, Correspondents, Spam, Date

I want all my new folders to show just these columns:

  Attachments, Subject, From, Recipient, Date

I realise I can change the columns shown but is there any way to make the settings applicable to all new local folders?

When I try to paste quicktext, instead, a line is deleted from where I wanted to paste the text, the text cursor disappears and the focus moves out of the email message box. This has been happening since updating to TB 115 from TB 102, so it is version independent after v115. I use HTML in my quicktext, but apart from that, they are rather non-complex quicktext.

OS: Win11 TB: 115.5.1 (64-bit)

I have a (now probably unsupported) user.js file and recently upgraded.

Realized that the only thing that reset between versions was "view > layout", I like the "classic view".

I manually changed it, but to make it permanent, could you point which config option I can set for that?

Thanks!
