Hi, ubuntu 22.04 thunderbird 115.5.0 (64-bit), firefox firefox-120.0.r20231129155202-x86_64.AppImage. Just replaced snap-firefox with appimage and now links in emails don't work. New firefox window opens but no url is loaded. I would expect the link would open in a new tab in the already open firefox. New firefox picked up all the old config files after a bit of editing.

Thanks Jim

I've just moved to Fedora 39. First tried installing the official fedora Thunderbird through discover and Thunderbird found my profile, created menu links to calendar, chat, address book, tasks, but they go no where. Uninstalled, tried the flatpak. Initially my .thunderbird file was not found and I had to manually relocate it into the new flatpak Thunderbird folder. Thunderbird then found my profile but calendar, chat, address book, tasks are STILL missing even though their menu links exist.

I've searched for solutions and in every one of them I have some important missing part i.e. lightning listed in addons(to remove and then re-add, its not listed there so I can't), find the "extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}" in my advanced settings - remove (no remove setting, only true or false, a sub menu where I can set its type, and a trash).

Any advice?

I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and really like it - until two recent updates (sorry!). I am running Ubuntu 22.04, and Thunderbird 115.4.1. One now has a column taken on the left which is unnecessary, and a section at the top which is above the menus with e.g. File... but I would like my File menu at the top, as it used to be. The second issue is more frustrating - the search facility, where one can find the emails being sought, allows me to search by many options, and I was able to display the results sorted by subject, size or my normal was by date, but I never use the message threads as that is rarely of interest, and I can sort on that using the message subject if needed. Now, when I search the results are ONLY in the message threads, and if I try to sort by date, I lose all information, and the ONLY option is to see the messages by thread which is no use to me! How can I restore good old Thunderbird - the version I enjoy using (or have the functionality I had restored)?! Many thanks,

I recently installed the Flatpak version of Thunderbird Version 115.0.1.

I can no longer start Thunderbird from the command line. It is supposed to run by using the command flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird. When I issue this command nothing happens.

I can however start Thunderbird by using rofi. When I use rofi to start Flatpak Thunderbird, it runs perfectly.

I do not have any problems with any of the other Flatpak applications that I have on my system. Prior to updating Thunderbird, I did not have any problems with the Flatpak version of Thunderbird that I had installed. It is just this new version of Flatpak Thunderbird that is giving me problems.

I am running Debian Linux version 12.

Message list on v.115 does not update when an email is deleted.

I'm a *long-time* TB user and have recently upgraded to 115.0 (BuildID: 20230711125218) on Linux (Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS). I have multiple accounts configured to use the unified folders inbox. When in that unified inbox, if I delete an email, it stays in the message list instead of disappearing, although the focus changes (the message entry line was highlighted in blue background with white text, and is now in black text on a gray background). The message pane shows the next message as it should. If i click on the message list entry line for the deleted email, nothing happens in the message pane (it still shows the next email), although the focus does come back to the message list entry line. This does not appear to happen when I am in the inboxes of my individual email accounts, but only happens in the unified folder. When I return to the unified folder inbox from the individual account inbox, the deleted message is gone. Thanks for any help.

Hello!

I am trying to install Thunderbird on my Lenovo chromebook and I am running into a issue of the file not opening. I downloaded Firefox through my chromebook's Linux software but I do not know the steps to repeat for Thunderbird. I'd greatly appreciate a walk along since I'm not great with Linux and its terminal.

Thank you in advance, Mario

I have performed many searchers on the Internet and on this website to locate where the message filters are kept on FF v.98. If I go under the hamburger menu there is no "Tools" entry only "more Tools." If I access Tools on the MenuBar there is no Message Filter entry.

It used to be quite simplye Mozilla needs to follow the lead of smartphones who have the exact same problem with users attempting to find the controls whose locations change in every update. Their solution is a built-in search lookup app. Instead of making users "go hunt" the smartphone app allows the user to ask the app to find what they are looking for. That's why they are called "smartphones."

As for now, I need to know if my version of FF has bugs or if not how to I modify my message filters?

Thanks
