Hi

In Thunderbird version 128, the table view displays the subject line with different font colors based on tags, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-16-08-b0bfa9.png

I’ve seen at Thunderbird's release notes that Thunderbird supports displaying different font colors based on tags in the card view, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-28-44-d4881a.png

However, in my card view, the subject is displayed in white font, and only the tag label is highlighted, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-20-48-f841b4.png

I would like to know if the card view in 128.0.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11 has the capability to display the subject line with different font colors based on tags. If it does, could you please advise on how to configure it?

We have several different email accounts we monitor with my business, and we don't require a notification for all of them & would love if there was a way to select which accounts you want live notifications for. Thanks!

I am using Firefox nightly on Android. About two weeks ago I noticed that my toolbar got moved to the bottom after some update, while address bar is still at the top. I tried looking for it in settings but couldn't find anything about toolbar, that's weird since I was able to customize it a few years ago when I installed Firefox for the first time. So I looked it up on the internet and they say that it's in Settings/Customize/Toolbar, but in my browser settings instead of Toolbar there is Address bar settings. Has toolbar's settings been moved somewhere else? It looks like in previous versions it was under Customize section.

Mozilla added Accuweather to my New Tab page today. I can't use it because my VPN uses other locations. I attempted to remove it using the "solution" from another user's post 9 months ago. However, none of those things worked. There is no "Tools" option in the menu and I unchecked and blocked every item on the "Page Info" tab under the "Permissions" header. Zero result.

The Accuweather feed shows up in the upper left corner of the computer screen and does not have a "dismiss" option. I did notice that it has some entries in about:config. Is the solution to be found there?

Hi, i would like to set my pdf handling as follows

1. When opening a pdf link, i need the file to open in browser, don't want it to download 2. When opening from download history, i want it to open in my pdf software

I believe this was the default in old firefox(some years ago). Currently if i set it to open in browser, point 1 will work but 2 won't (i have to right click and choose "open in xx app") if i set it to always open in other app, 2 will work but 1 won't. Back then i tried some settings which downloads the file to temp folder and open from there, i don't want that (not needed the file in download history) pls let me know if there is a solution. Thanks

Please help.  I am running Firefox Version 129.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 11 Pro 64-bit if that makes any difference.  Thanks.

I went into Settings/General/Fonts and Colors and was able to change all the checkboxes back to blue from red, but the New Message box is still red.

How do I change it back to blue?

I want to turn off the hover preview feature. First I went in settings, but that disabled only the thumbnail (browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails in about:config is set to false and saved). Then I went in about:config and manually set browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled to false as well, that disables the unwanted feature completely.

But every time I restart the browser it's turned back to true (just hover.Preview.enabled, not hover.Preview.showThumbnails). Can I save my settings? It's annoying that I can't opt out.

Greeting!

Firefox is the latest version and runs on Windows 10. Sometimes old settings come back, for example older start pages, even if I change it to the default firefox page, at varying intervals the setting reverts to a setting from several years ago. Also, the machine comes from Germany and was installed in German. It should be used in Hungarian, but after changing the language, it forgets the Hungarian language days, weeks, months later. As time changes, the Hungarian language disappears from the installed ones and reverts to German. Also, the German language cannot be removed from the list.

I have a question, is it possible to permanently delete the settings and restore the default settings without having to harm the profile. I can't find the button to reset everything. Although, since changing the settings doesn't usually help for a long time, it probably wouldn't help either.

I think the machine was installed by a German internet service provider with its own settings. The user does not want to reinstall

I have browser.messaging-system.whatsNewPanel.enabled set to "false". And yet when I update firefox, there's still a new tab opening telling me useless information.

I don't want firefox to ever automatically open a new tab ever, for anything, ever. I don't care what's new, I don't care what changed, I just don't care. I want to permanently and completely disable firefox from opening a new tab to tell me literally anything.

Please don't try to argue or convince me otherwise. It's such weird and rude behavior. Just please, how do I disable this feature that is annoying to me?

Firefox should never be able to open a new tab on its own. Any tab openings should be done by user action.
