I've been using Mozilla Firefox since ... well, before Firefox, I used Netscape, your great-great-grandfather.

I am not blind. I have some issues with visual objects on web pages like scroll bars when you can't effectively use them. They are too thin. Mozilla has had complaints about this since 2022.

Please Fix them. Otherwise I may have to migrate to Chrome or Edge and leave my Mozilla legacy behind for a differnent fork in browsers. It's a dealbreaker folks. People will leave this browser and probably are every day for one stupid reason. Scroll bars than are inaccessible without using something like windows magnifier when you need to scroll.\

C'mon Fix the scroll bars!!

I recently explored the backgrounds on Firefox. I choose one of the, because they look really nice. But after I changed my Firefox Data Collection and Use settings the background disappeared.

Why do you have to keep "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" enabled?

Hello, I have a question about the interaction between the import profile functionality and IMAP synchronization. I am currently in the process of transferring a domain, and during that process the existing emails on the IMAP server for that domain will be lost.

If I have all the emails for that server in a thunderbird backup, and I then transfer the domain and set up another IMAP server for the same addresses, then restore the thunderbird backup, will the emails from the backup then be added to the new IMAP server? If not, does anyone have a recommended way to achieve this?

Thank you

I am currently using 128.0.1esr (64-bit).

How do I set the colour scheme to be as it was before the latest update? In particular, how do I set the background colour of ALL screens to be white? In the list of emails (e.g the Inbox) the coloured tags that I use are difficult to spot against a black background.

This is the second time that an update has made significant changes to how the system looks. The last time I managed to live with it.

I finally upgraded to TB 115.4.0 from 102 and it is ok. I'd like to set some UI preferences; specifically to email list pane header and three panes (folder, email list, events) lines-per-inch (density). With regards to density I only have three options; small, medium, and large. I'd like something between small and medium. In addition, I'd like to alter the background color of the email list pane header and, perhaps, the email pane and events pane headers.

Since userChrome.css no longer works (I couldn't get it work at all), how do I go about altering this?

Thanks,

I want to add the Print command to my Thunderbird toolbar. I right-clicked on the toolbar and clicked on "Customize." I chose the Print button and saved, but it's still not on my toolbar. It says "available for mail space only." I have no idea what that means.

It used to be less complicated.

I know it may sound a bit strange, but I would like to know WHY an extension is not allowed in a private window, so I might understand the reason why I'm not able to diagnose an issue I'm having with fucking amazon who has their cart all over the place for a misconfiguration in firefox that either I did or an extension is causing, however I'm unable to figure out which because I can't enable extensions in private windows, where the issue does not happen, so I'm not able to reproduce and isolate the problem. Specifically, this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-private-browsing Plus, I was kinda expecting I could run STG in private too, since it offer such nice and rich grouping and memory management features vanilla FF does not (PS: please take inspiration and bake it inside!!)

I'm not sure if this is a new feature in Thunderbird or whether it's due to me setting up a new account whose server was IMAP - but either way...

Sent and received emails used to appear in their own (linear) list but I'm suddenly finding that sends and replies are appearing now in something called a Collapsed List. These can end up out of sequence and (I assume...) it's not possible to delete one entry without deleting all the entries underneath it?

So is there a setting somewhere where I can go back to the original linear arrangement?

The cursor in Thunderbird is difficult to see when composing emails. My Windows settings have not been customized. All the online articles suggest changing Windows cursor or mouse settings, and although that does change things for Windows, it does not affect the cursor size or color in Thunderbird. Are there any ways to make the cursor darker so it's easier to see?

I have been a Thunderbird user for many years, and the default configuration (View) for the Message List Pane that I've always had is just what I want (Screeenshot 1).

I've had this on Windows (10, 11) on multiple machines, and on macOS. A nice, compact listing (ignore bold; that's just unread messages).

Now I've installed on a new Windows 11 machine, and for this machine I get a very different Message List Pane that I do not like (Screenshot 2). Much more open space, takes up much more room.

All the Account Settings seem to be the same on this machine and the others, including view density, etc.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

In my new setup on T-bird POP, is there any justification for the Trash folder appearing twice, once as non-local folder and once as a local folder? Or is this just an artifact of having an IMAP option as well? There is no such thing as a downloaded Trash item, right? So in a logical sense, shouldn't the Trash folder in non-local be removable on POP, or just automatically disappear when POP is selected? There are no other folders duplicated between local and non-local, so the duplication just looks odd and confusing, even though it may be of little or no functional consequence. Is there no way to eliminate one of these two folders, perhaps the non-local one?
