See attachment. The message box is too narrow. I can barely read emails. When I tried to extend the horizontal bar up the screen, which would reduce the number of inbox emails, it stops at the location I show in the attachment. What's going on here? How do I fix this?

The other morning, Thunderbird I believe did an update. This appeared to only take a few seconds, but when I re opened Thunderbird and typed an email message, I noticed that spell check had some how disappeared and was no longer working. I read a few help messages and even downloaded a new dictionary. Nothing worked and I'm still left without spellcheck. I've looked through all the other items and settings and did make sure the spell check boxes were checked. Willing to try anything else that you can suggest since I'm out of resources to try. Thanks

The new selection "Copy without site tracking" may eliminate certain codes, but does not remove all invasive data (my term). Consider this common URL occurrence:

link text

The new filter does absolutely nothing to this and when I pass this kind of URL on to others, I do not want to include all that crapola. Currently I have to manually edit the link, which can really get tiresome when passing on a lot of links.

Is there a way to modify anything in Firefox to accommodate this?

Before TB 115, when viewing my Inbox, if I pressed Enter with a message selected, it always opened it, or so I believe. Now, sometimes it opens it, sometimes it deletes it (aahr!). Is it now doing Redo on Enter-key? If it's a change, I hate it, because it can be destructive rather than just inconvenient.

Thunderbird decided to update itself to 115.3.3 (64-bit) today. Not pleased.

The main screen is basically divided in to three areas (boxes). On the left I have my different email accounts, lower down I have my folders for saved messages (1).

Top right is showing message headers (Subject, From, Recipient, Date etc.) (2).

Under the above box is more details of message header, then under that is the message 'body'.

I can easily change the vertical divider bar between the left box (1) and the two stacked boxes on the right (2), Good :)

However the horizontal divider between the top right box and the bottom right box has limited movement, so I'm unable to enlarge the message 'body' section (3) to be able to read more than a line or two. Also it would help if the top of section 3 where the From, To, Subject and Date are repeated from box 2 were removed (as I said, they're repeats of box 2) leaving more space for the message body contents.

I've found some settings for font size which helped a little, but how do I improve on what you can see in my image please?

I suspect I could change the screen resolution, but with my poor eye sight, how do I read the text in other programs?

Thanks in advance

Is there a way to add a delete button to the top row of each message in the Message Display List?

I've added a screen shot to show where I'm referring to.

Often when browsing the list of messages, rather than moving the mouse across the screen to the delete button in the message, it would be more productive to simply click a delete button in the Message Display List.

Thanks for your feedback.

I have really enjoyed the new release (115.4.1) interface, but I have a problem because my Add-On/Extension to manually sort my email accounts ("Manually Sort Folders") is no longer working. I just added another work email and it is now trapped at the bottom of my left-hand account list below my Local Folders and Blog Accounts. This is NOT going to work. As many times as I've seen this mentioned on forums everywhere, there HAS to be the ability to manually sort your email accounts to show up in the order you want them to by now. No?

BTW, going to "Account Settings" and dragging and dropping an email account where I want it in the list does NOT work. It shows up as it is right now without change. Restarting the program directly after making this change with or without going back to the main accounts tab does not result in it showing up correctly either.

Thank you!

Tab Grouping app replacement or work-around

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 would love to see option to freeze the Favourites section of the folder pane to the top of the folder. Currently if you scroll down the folder pane the Favourites section disappears. If you have lots of folders, this defeats the purpose of having it. I've tried searching for solutions many times and tried add-ons but to no avail. This is the most frustrating and time wasting function of Thunderbird for me and I've seen other users in previous conversations express the same concern. It is a standard feature and has been for many years in Outlook. Please include this in future releases!

With some recent Thunderbird update (not sure when), messages in my Trash folder delete after a month. I want to keep all the deleted messages until I manually delete them. I can't find anywhere in Settings to do this, and searching for the topic hasn't yielded anything either. I'm using Windows 10.

Is it possible any longer to configure Thunderbird 115.0 to open the address book in a separate window. Meaning stand alone? Address book by itself

It used to work using this method:

Navigate to the Mozilla Thunderbird folder on your computer. The default installation folder under Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\

Right-click the thunderbird.exe file and select Create Shortcut. Save it in that directory or alternatively on the desktop if restrictions prevent the saving to the same directory.

Right-click the shortcut afterwards and select Properties from the context menu. Locate the Target path in the Shortcut tab and add -addressbook at the end of it (there is a blank between the closing " and the -addressbook, the end should read thunderbird.exe -addressbook).

It brings up the Thunderbird, and puts the address book a tab. I want the address book to open stand "alone"

See reddit post— no way I'm typing all that again! Reddit Post It's not that long, trust me— it's just that the code is long... I've attached a slightly different screenshot to the one I posted on the reddit post, but it makes no difference if you see one or the other, or both!

In summary, I've added a css code to my userChrome.css thingy to move the tabs below the search bar. I was also wondering what the best way to transfer my userChrome.css file + about:config settings over to a new version of Firefox. Due to not being admin of my laptop (I'm running it out of the .dmg file— besides, I always like to keep an older version of Firefox as a fallback), I have to install a whole new version of Firefox onto my laptop to update.

Thanks!
