I have TB 115.6.0 running on 3 computers (1 desktop and 2 laptops). On 2 computers there is a tiny icon on the right hand side in the menu bar that allows me to switch between the "new and improved" (but utterly horrible), side by side message list and the classic view.

On the laptop I am currently using to write this request, TB 115.6.0 does not have that wonderful little icon and I am condemned to use the side by side display or find another mail client.

Can someone help me find or restore that little icon that gives me a choice or alternatively lets me change the message list display back to its old useful configuration?

As an aside, why do software developers insist on making "improvements" that no one needs or wants?

I've installed TBSync with Thunderbird and my O365 calendar is now syncing.

However, my email subfolders are not fully updating.

I have a # of subfolders I've created in O365 but they aren't appearing in TBSync in order to choose them to sync in Thunderbird. I am getting some (what I would call 'standard') subfolders in TBSync to choose such as Contact, Calendar, Tasks, and some other email accounts I have 'sync'd' into O365, but none of the actual email subfolders for the O365 account itself (i.e. 2024 Financials).

In Thunderbird, the only folders I see to sync (Synchronization & Storage > Advanced)are: Inbox, Draft, Sent, and Trash

What am I doing wrong or missing?

I am running on TB release 60.5.0.

In the TB previous release, TF&SC worked fine for text (font) size control on incoming and outgoing messages. In the latest TB release TF&SC does not support the text (font) size.

The text size is miniscule. I can use the "ctrl +/-". However, this procedure is a drag when TF&SC has worked flawlessly in the previous TB release.

Is it not time for TB to have built-in text/font sizing control?

Your help on this issue would be appreciated.

Hi All,

I would like to change the color of the two highlighted URLs in the address bar's drop down list to what they were in FF 88 - the one that is currently selected with the cursor keys, and the one the mouse pointer is over.

The first screenshot below is of the highlight colors in FF 115/125. You can see two different shades of gray, the darker gray being the URL selected with the cursor keys, the lighter gray being the one the mouse pointer is over.

The second image shows the colors from FF 88, the URL selected with cursor keys in blue, and a dark gray for the one the mouse pointer is over.

Any help in modifying these colors, and the radius of the selection is greatly appreciated!

I am trying to find out how to set the default columns list for my Thunderbird Supernova (115.9.0) installation on Windows 7 Home 64-bit with SP1 - I've followed the instructions in [article] this article, but I'm encountering the following issue:

If I have a folder called (say) "Jo Bloggs" that already has the columns list set that I require and I add a new subfolder (say) "2023", this new subfolder has the application default columns list showing and not the columns list from the parent folder.

Is there any way that I can configure the columns list used by Thunderbird so that all new folders use the same columns list as their parent folder?

My husband and I have identical Thunderbird installations on identical Windows 7 machines, and for years we have been using 'QuoteAndComposeManager version 0.4.1. This allows us to set a 'pause' of 20 seconds between the time we click on Send and the email actually gets sent (it's amazing how many errors you can find in 20 seconds). This feature is still working fine on my machine, but on his it has been disabled with the message that it is incompatible with Thunderbird 60.3.0.

Two questions here: My update history shows that I am set for automatic updates, but the last one was to version 52.9.1 on 16 July 2018. This probably explains why I can still use the QandCManager, but why are we getting updates at different times?

More importantly, is there some other add-on that we can use to get this time-delay option? I have gone to the original developer's website but he does not seem to have a later version.

Many thanks.

So i wanted to remove borderline between text bar and tab bar. After some googling i manege to do so by console(contl+shift+alt+i), in string "--tabs-navbar-separator-color: light-dark(rgba(0,0,0,.1), rgba(0,0,0,.3));" i change 3 to 0 and borderline gone. But every time i restart browser is all back. Is there any way to make it permanent ?

Just wondering which theme/UI system the Thunderbird 60 Beta is using. In the older versions (including the latest v52.x build) my scrollbars still have top & bottom arrows. In TB Beta v60.x, those arrows are now gone. Would like to put them back where they belong, and don't want to have to hunt down some ugly, unmaintained theme to do it.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with latest Thunderbird (52.8.0). Normaly (in older verions of Thunderbird, like the one in Ubuntu 17.10), it was possible to just install a language like described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker in order to use the spell checker in a different language.

I clicked on "Sprachen -> Wörterbuch hinzufügen" and downloaded the german language packet. Now in "Add-ons-Verwaltung", there is "Deutsch (DE) Lanuage Pack", and it is activated. Unfortunately, if I right-click on any text, I still can not change to german. This did not change when restarting thunderbird. For "Wörterbuch" (Dictionary), the link for download is not present (while it is present for other languages, e.g. Afrikaans), but the link for "Sprachpacket herunterladen" keeps beeing there, even if I installed the language packet.

There are other users complaining in the comments section of the language pack: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/deutsch-de-language-pack-thund/ (e.g. "Sprachpakete lassen sich nicht installieren. Anwendung ist völlig unbrauchbar!" means "Language packets can not be installed. Application is not usable at all." which may be an exaggeration.).

Is this still the right way to install a dictionary, or is the link to the dictionary maybe wrong? Can I install it somehow manually or by apt?

For the past few months every restart of Firefox disables LastPass. I did NOT have this problem previously. The version of LastPass is current (no updates found). I can go to Add-ons and the toggle is set to "on" but the icon in the menu bar is black. If I click the toggle off, then back on, LastPass comes on just fine. Why is Firefox disabling something that Add-ons says is loaded? VERY strange. Does NOT happen in Chrome. Thanks for any assistance. PITB!!!

Hi Firefox Developer Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to suggest a feature that I believe would enhance user experience: the option to use custom wallpapers or backgrounds in Firefox. Having the ability to personalize the browser with custom images would make it more appealing and engaging for users. Could you consider implementing this feature in a future update?

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to improving Firefox.

The title says it all.

When I use Thunderbird's Quick Filter and have both Unread and Starred selected, it will only show messages that are both unread and starred.

I want to see all messages that are either unread or starred or both.

Thanks in advance

For my work email I HAVE to use Outlook 2016 - boo, but I don't have a choice.

For my personal email I use Thunderbird (now 60.4.0). My work Outlook allows me to make new inbound messages that have not been read yet appear in BOLD and in a different colour.

I've researched trying to accomplish this in ThunderBird, and thought I could do it with Filtering. Filtering allows me to change the colour of a new message to RED in my inbox with by applying a "tag of 1" on an un-read message. The snag is that I cannot un-do the filtering once the message is read. If it would allow me to create a filter that would apply a tag of ZERO (remove all tags) when a message is read it would be dandy - but only tag options 1-5 appear, no ZERO.

I also read that by creating a "chrome" folder in the profile folder, and a file called userChrome.css would do the trick for un-read messages until they are read. I tried copying/pasting numerous different configurations in notepad and saving as userChrome.css, but it doesn't change a single thing.

I've spent several hours reading on how to do this, but most posts I find are quite dated, and I cannot find anything around the userChrome.css file for Thunderbird 60.4

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

TBguy :)

Hello, I use Duck Duck Go as a default search engine, with Google and others as alternatives. Since I switched my compter, Firefox resets the default engine back to ebay, which cannot be deleted in the list and also shows up in the address bar. Could you please tell me how to get rid of it? Thank you very much!
