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.

For years I've been searching for a field "Date/time deleted" as a column header for the "Deleted" folder. I've seen this in other email clients and find it absolutely necessary. If you accidentally deleted an email that is perhaps days or weeks old, it is extremely difficult to find in the delete folder: when sorting by date, it will be buried amongst hundreds of other trashed emails received around the same time, and after an accidental deletion you may not even know the date and time, the sender, or the Subject of the deleted email! Today I accidentally came across a possible solution: there is a field called "Order received", and it seems that this field contains a number which indicates the order in which emails were moved between mailboxes. Sorting by that, the latest deleted email is at the top (or bottom). Is this true, or does that field indicate something else?

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!

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.

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?

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?

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 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.

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.

New version of Thunderbird keeps grouping messages in topics, If I change option to not group in View-> Order By -> Not Group it works for some time and then groups messages again.

Hello!

We use the Thunderbird Labels (not an add on) to mark the mails "to do", "started by NN" or "get back to customer after offer" etz. After the latest uppgrade (or earlier) mails labeled on one computor does not show on others (IMAP). Do not find any settings in Thunderbird about this (for example on some add ons you have to mark that the changes done on one computor should not be local).

Gratefull for help because this is a great tool when you are more persons working in the same system. Thanks in advance!

I've snooped the Help section but can't find/understand an answer! I have my Composition set to Default, but whenever I forward an HTML email (often a publicity piece) to anyone it places it inline as text, as below. So what should I change to always send the 'pretty' version?

For some reason Thunderbird 115 Supernova has lost the ability to open attached files. The menu that comes up when I ask to open attached files no longer has the appropriate application available, see attached screenshots, how do I fix this?

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 with a Plasma desktop.

The default font in Firefox Android is Roboto, and I want to change the default font to the system default font or a font I downloaded locally. I can't find any settings in Firefox Android regarding font settings. about:config doesn't seem to work on Android. How do I change the default font in Firefox Android, like in Firefox Windows?

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.
