Being a decade user of Firefox I must say that I started to hate it because the last editions hide the choice for enabling or disabling javascript. The stupid comand "about:config" leads nowhere and all previous answers are absurd. Why Mozilla decided to hide the option " turn on / turn off" javascript? It turned a previously great navigator into a stupid user unfriendly useless software. I use the internet for over 40 years and Firefox has always been my favourite. What obscure financial reasons made developers decide to hide the simple option of earlier editions? Please put back the "on/off" option for javascript. Untill then I'll use Chrome.

I changed the header/footer in about:config, but the changes will not save. Every time I change them, they revert to something else. I need &T for headerleft, &PT for headerright, &U for footerleft and &D for footerright. Invariably it changes all the headers to &U, footerleft to &P, and footerright to &D. My only thought is that I haven't saved the updates properly. Please help! ~AM

I report all spam emails that I receive at my Yahoo email addresses. As it stands, I have to manually check for spam on Yahoo, restore it to the inbox, and then do a separate, manual download to get those messages onto Thunderbird to process and email (my preferred way of doing things). Is there a way/setting that allows Thunderbird to go into the Yahoo spam folder and retrieve those messages as well, in one retrieval operation along with the rest of my mail? Thanks- :)

Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to lock the toolbar so that it does not automatically pop up when you are in full screen mode and hover over the top area of the screen. I cannot easily play some browser games because they must be full screen and the toolbar popping up continuously interrupts the game.

To clarify, I do not want the toolbar to always be there; locking the toolbar so that it automatically shows when in full screen is not the solution I am looking for. I want the toolbar to disappear when I am in full screen and not popup when I hover over the top area of the screen.

Thank you for any help!

Delivery Status Notification Does Not Work!!! and hasn't for about a year~! I have the latest version of Thunderbird, Ver 103.3.2 (64 bit) ! I am wondering if there if it's my Breezeline email server or is there an issue within my About:Config properties?

I'm converting from outlook and I'm wondering how to jump to a particular letter in the alphabet with scrolling to get to it when the emails from sorted by alphabetical order. In outlook you just click on the alphabet on your keyboard and it takes you right to the beginning of the emails starting with that letter. Just curious if thunderbird does this or if there is an add-on or shortcut to get there. Thanks.

Beginner or Luddite Question - I am seeking something like outlook, but NOT OUTLOOK. I lost so many contacts, connections, data and usability from that POS. Let's be clear. I am seeking something that will support the following: -having multiple email addresses for multiple businesses and organizations all in one place. - the ability to have individual signature boxes for each email address supported (as many as 12) - Something that won't crash on me and F*** up everything -I don't care if I have to pay, I want everything in one place easy to utilize. - I want a third-party VA to be able to get in under a common sign in and work under my name

Can Thunderbird do all this and more without having to hire a $500 per hour techie? If someone is for hire, how much is the charge?

after a recent upgrade (91.10.1) Thunderbird no longer has the question about remote content on the email view page. The one with options like show all remote from _ or show only remote content from _. Stilll has the exception section in Settings. Emails show embedded content on webmail. What gives?

Can new folders be created in the 'root directory' or must they reside either within an account or a local folder?

Setting up a mailfence alias using the identity capability. Currently have two folders; me@mailfence.com and local as the initial configuration. Would like to create an equivalent directory structure myalias@ mailfence.com with subdirectories draft, sent, junk, etc. resides outside of both me@mailfence.com and local.

Looking for a native TB approach (if it exists),

Thunderbird (nad other mail systems) have started displaying messages in what I call Conversatioinal Mode where messages with the same subject are apparently all grouped together in chronological order under that Subject.

This is driving me Mad! I have problems trying to find messages.

How can i turn this feature OFF so that messages just appear in chronical order the way they did in the past?

Thanks and regards,

Graeme

Every time I open Thunderbird it opens my default browser (in my case Firefox) and opens the 'What’s New in Thunderbird 102' web page (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.0/whatsnew/.......). Question : How do I stop Thunderbird from opening the (external) web browser / Firefox ? Updates are disabled, btw.

Thanks alot!

so i have a backup local folder where i copy all the mails from the inbox of an account from, and another local folder where i copy the spam folder of an account from, but i am doing that manually, and i don't just delete the now backed up mails. so next time i have to find out first where the cutoff is, before i start selecting and copying again, because otherwise i'd be backing up duplicates.

is there an easier way to avoid duplicates, or a synchronization function that takes care of avoiding duplicates for me?

Hey! Question about thunderbird (but if it can be done on a different email app I'm with it) Inheriting an inbox which has thousands of emails being forwarded to one address Don't want to mark all as read at once, is there a way of adding each address to different boxes so I can open and deal with them one at a time? (and, so the "email opened" can ping as I go through them, not in one instant) Thanks!

How do I remove the two hyphens that get added my email whenever I use a signature (every email).

I know this has been resolved on some previous editions of Thunderbird but the latest 115.2.3 and the previous one appears that editing the config file to make changes is no longer an option the way it was being done on older versions.

Also, why is it even there?

Hello...I appreciate your using Shortcuts & they are very important to me. I once had a problem of not having enough Shortcuts, but that problem has been solved.

My problem now is that the number of COLUMNS in my TopSitesRows often change, without my permission, from 6 Columns to 8. That leaves me with a lot of blank links as well as a lot of links I have visited only once & have no plans to visit again. Why can't I keep the number of COLUMNS the same like I can when I choose how many Rows when I choose TopSitesRows?

Thank you.

With the latest update of Thunderbird I have lost all my tool bar customization. I thought this update was to improve my experience and make things better for me. Making me try to redo all my setting just because some developer needs to put his own stamp on this product is not helpful nor improve my experience. How do I get my layout back? How can I revert back to the previous version????

Hello! How can I highlight and view my multiple inboxes at the same time? I am coming over from Apple Mail, and I have multiple email accounts; Personal, personal work, bills and utilities, junk mail, etc. In Apple Mail, I would hold command or shift, and could highlight a couple of email inbox accounts and see all the emails together. I can not seem to find the key combination in Thunderbird. I would love to ditch Apple's eco system, but that one feature I'm still puzzled with on how to do it. The individual email accounts are setup in Thunderbird, that part is good. Just can't view them at the same time. Thank you so very much!
