I often end up typing the same email response, over and over.

Is there a way to set up pre-made messages in Thunderbird, which are easy to select or migrate into my reply space?

Would also be nice if these pre-made response mssgs were separate from my in/out box accounts, so that if I change IMAP email provider, I don't lose the pre-made mssgs.

"Optional" AI Features and Disabling Ad Blockers

Good Evening,

I switched to Firefox as my primary browser from Chrome due to Chrome's instance on forcing unnecessary and intrusive AI features onto the platform, and their revoking support for ad blockers.

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo's quote from his recent blog post announcing that Firefox "will evolve into a modern AI browser" is a huge red flag for me. I do not care how much he may promise the features will be "something people can easily turn off", I do not trust it will remain that way. Mozilla will have a bad quarter and suddenly those won't be optional features anymore. I have seen it happen with other tech companies and it's infuriating that Mozilla seems to be merrily skipping down the same path.

In addition to the AI bloat Mozilla seems to insisting they need, Enzor-DeMeo recently said that "He could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that'd bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that." To even joke about that is an astounding misstep. I specifically joined Firefox to be able to use an ad blockers.

I've enjoyed my time with Firefox and have recommended it to friends in the past, but I have changed browsers before. If Firefox continues to forge ahead with these frankly absurd changes, I will have to do so again.

The add-on, Enhancer for YouTube, appears to be the cause of a very annoying bit of behavior. My YouTube tabs seem to be all numbered. I hate this. Why make a bookmark, I have to manually remove this number before I can auto sort my bookmarks directory alphabetically.

Worse, there is no part of the description that identifies this bad behavior as being involved with Enhancer for YouTube. I had to go to AI for help figuring out how to get rid of this exceedingly annoying behavior that showed up whenever I used tabs with YouTube videos. I can't imagine anything that this add-on could be adding to my experience that is more convenient than this particular behavior is annoying.

Changes to the appearance of tabs should not be performed invisibly and without settings that I can disable. Because of this, I can only get rid of his horrible behavior by disabling the entire add in. Mozilla put a stamp of approval on this particular add-in. So the dirt is on your face, too.

I am trying to open a site, but keep getting this message: "Before you continue to the website...

By clicking the "Accept and Continue" button, you will be redirected to the Firefox Add-ons Store to install this extension. By clicking the "Accept and Continue" button and installing this extension in your browser, you accept the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and agree to select "Recipio" as your new search engine.

My Signature Switch extension recently started turning itself off. That means that every new email I write, I have to turn on the Signature Switch. For some reason, it no longer remembers it's supposed to be on between emails so for every new email I write I find it switched off again.

I'm hoping its just a setting somewhere. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix it? If not, is there a decent replacement?

I am in my seventies. I have the Firebird 1 tee shirt :-) . I recently received a missive from Thunderbird asking for a donation. I click through and get a donate button. THE DONATE BUTTON DOES NOT WORK in Firefox with NoScript. WTF.

I follow some IT forums and I am to update with security and userability issues. The best advice as I see it is to TURN OFF scripts with NoScript.

After a lot of faffing about I donated. When I first started working 55 years ago I given 2 bits of advice.

 1  Never put obstacles in the way of customers paying.
 2 Never put obstacles in the way of customers ordering.

I think you should heed the first bit of advice. How many Thunderbird users were tempted to donate but were in a similar position to me and gave up?
