I updated to TB154 recently and find that connection to my Outlook calendar via Owl no longer works. In past updates I have been able to turn Owl off and then on again, sign in to Outlook and all is good. This time I was told that I had to unsubscribe from the calendar and then re-subscribe. Unfortunately, nothing that I am trying (sharing, publishing & etc.) is working. I remember that the properties window showed the calendar location as owl:// but everything that I have tried to add after this doesn't work either. Thanks for your assistance.

I use a number of add-ons to help me out. Unfortunately, the following add-ons aren't working right now: Quicktext, Send Later, TbSync (where and how do I integrate it into Thunderbird?). When sending an email, I have to go through “File” > “Send”—there’s no button for it. The VBA call to send a generated email truncates the string, so the attachment isn’t included.

I’m sure some add-ons will be updated. But this is hitting me hard right now.

ThunderBird upgraded to v153.0. Since then EAS and TBSync have stopped working. Extension Manager have disabled them and report both are incompatible with TB v153.0.

The option to "Find an alternative add-on" for both fails to find an alternative version to work with TB v153.0

Are newer version of EAS and TBSynce imminent?

The default font I have been using in replying to messages used to be in the same as what was designated in the Composition settings. Now, with the EnhancedReplyHeaders extension, the default font is always "Variable Width," no matter what I do with the Composition settings. What do I need to do, to have the default Reply font be the same as that specified in the Composition settings? Thanks,

I recently upgraded to 140.12.1. When I attempt to run the Remove Duplicate add on it hangs.

I suspect this is something to do with an additional menu item that now lists under Remove Duplicates Saying "Set original message folder(s) for next duplicate search". However when I select this, I get an error message from Remove Duplicates saying "Invalid choice of original message folders."

I have no idea where to set the folders, nor what to set them to..Can anyone help - it's an excellent add on which I use a lot.

Hello,

After updating Thunderbird to version 153.0.1 ESR (64-bit), the InsertSignature button changed its position.

Before the update, the "Insert Signature" button was displayed near the message formatting toolbar, next to the "Body Text" selector.

After the update, the button moved to the top compose toolbar next to the Send button.

My environment:

- Thunderbird 153.0.1 ESR (64-bit) - Windows 11 - InsertSignature 0.4.5 - Quicktext 6.9.1

InsertSignature has not been updated recently (version 0.4.5), and this change appeared only after Thunderbird was updated.

The button used to be located immediately next to the "Body Text" selector in the formatting toolbar. Last Friday everything worked normally. Today (Monday) the button position changed.

Is this an intended UI change in Thunderbird 153, or is it a compatibility issue or bug?

If possible, is there any way to restore the button to its previous location near the formatting toolbar?

Thank you very much.

All bar one of my Extensions have stopped working on the last update (see attached image). I'm on Linux Mint latest, running TB 153.0esr. Also, I used to have two sent mail folders, one called "Sent" which showed all sent mail, and another called "Sent Mail" which was the useful one as it showed sent mail that hadn't been deleted. Now I have two called "Sent" which isn't helpful. Same with Spam.

Are there settings I can adjust to re-enable the extensions - the QuickText is the one I really need, and is it possible to rename the Sent and Spam folders as I can't see an option to do so.

A while back I complained about this exact thing here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1401708 — thread's archived now so I couldn't reply there.

Ended up building a small add-on myself since nothing else out there worked anymore. It makes every global search open directly as a list, no more clicking "Show results as list" every time.

[https://amaru7.github.io/search-results-as-list|search-result...]

Free, open source, no data collection. Can't be listed on addons.thunderbird.net right now (Mozilla's paused reviewing new add-ons that use Experiment APIs), so it's a manual install for now. Apparently this is getting built into Thunderbird natively from version 154 (bug 580252), so this is really just a bridge until then.

Posting here in case anyone else still lands on the old thread like I did.

As of a few weeks ago, none of the links on the Add-ons Manager Details pages in my TB 152 work, e.g. Author or Homepage. Moving the mouse over them, left-clicking on them, right-clicking on them, no effect at all. Which is annoying, as with several add-ons I use I'll want to go the add-on's Github page to look for new betas, report issues etc. Those links all used to work, opening the linked page as a tab in Thunderbird, but now they don't work at all, not even a right-click menu option to open in browser. Still not working in 152.0.1. This isn't only with me, surely?

Use the X-Note addon, and has worked fine for ages, but reinstalled my system, and now the font for XNote is almost unreadable - Cursive, of some sort.. How can I change this? Thanks.

I've just transferred my profile to a new computer, for which I downloaded TB152 (had been running TB128), and no add-ons/extensions work. Of course many were rendered inoperative with the update, but that's not the issue, because:

1. Even those which claim to be compatible, or were updated since the transfer for the purpose of extension compatibility, do not work.
2. Moreover, when I invoke the Add-ons Manager to inquire about the various non-working extensions, none of the links (which can be seen and read by the OS), can be invoked or even copied (to be, for example, pasted into a browser window).

I went through the standard [[Mozilla Support diagnostics|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working]] and found no answers. Can someone suggest a next step?

Trying to understand why this problem is related only to the extensions, I examined the profile's "extensions" folder. There are 40 .xpi files (same as the number of mostly-disabled (and mostly-expired) extensions in the Add-ons Manager), along with a subdirectory named "staged" containing 7 empty folders with what appear to be .xpi filenames - though none of those empty-folder-filenames match any of the .xpi files in the parent "extensions" folder. Because the "staged" folder has a recent timestamp (apparently the last time TB shut down), it seems to have some significance to TB operation - but what can be the use of it is more than I can see. What is the significance of that folder and its contents?

Two final (and possibly related) questions about this "extensions" folder:

1. Is there any way to relate the <filename>.xpi to the name in the Add-ons Manager?
2. Since nothing in the "extensions" folder identifies which are enabled, there must be some file containing a functional description of the folder's contents. Where would that be?

Grateful for any pointers, -John

Dear Support,

we can not log-in with our office 365 account. We need to log-in with "Exchange Add-on erforderlich", but we receive this error message.

I attached you some screenshots. We do not understand why this error appears.

When we log-in with option "Exchange" then it works but we need the other option because we need to have the sub-folders.

Please help us.

Best regards, Andreas

Just updated to v152 (from 142 esr) on MacOS (26.6 public beta 2) and CardBook creating new contact or edit existing contact and am unable to scroll to bottom of window to the save option

Hi,

we developed an add-in for MS Outlook. The add-in, connects to a mail message, and reads information from the mail - to transfer information to a special journal system.

Is it possible via API to Thunderbird, to create Add-Ins as seen from MS Outlook?

Best regards, Michael Vad

I had a great Thunderbird Emoji add-on that is no longer supported. This.

https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/emojiaddin/

It no longer works on updated Thunderbird, and shows it hasn't been updated since 2022. I'm on Thunderbird 140.11 on my Linux Mint. The image the plugin inserts in message bodies is broken. Is there another/similar add-on?
