Thunderbird Community Forum

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?

Tried getting help from SPAMfighter, but they are closed for the day. I uninstalled SPAMfighter and reinstalled. No luck. No toolbar. Is this version of Thunderbird, (151.0.1 64-bit) having issues with SPAMfighter as some of the previous versions have had?

Upon opening Thunderbird on a Mac (OS 26.5) the program posted a window requesting a password in order to add a new tool to the application. Unfortunately we have lost the password and the program insists it needs the password to continue. An option is offered to 'Ignore', but pressing this button does not launch Thunderbird, rather it sets up some Mozilla 'thingy' operating in the background (the Thunderbird icon in the dock is active) which can be terminated by Force Quitting the process. The thing is, Thunderbird is now unavailable at this point due to the new tool that could not be added to the application.

I am unhappy with version 150 of Thunderbird. In earlier versions, I was able to access the full range of emojis when writing an email. That is no longer possible; I can now only access a few. The integration of add-ons with Thunderbird isn’t working properly. After adding the German dictionary, Thunderbird froze; after adding ImportExport Tools, Thunderbird not only crashed but also wouldn’t start up again.

• I am able to convert emails to tasks in Gmail
• I am able to flag emails in outlook to be read into Microsoft To Do
• I can tag emails in Thunderbird but then what?
• I have not seen an extension for this

I have MCI and i need to get tasks organized including todo items in email and calendar apps. Any help would be welcomed.

This is a continuation of the thread - [is being managed by your organisation CAUSE: Bitdefender]

The solution of deleting the Registry Key does not work. It simply comes back after reboot. I have engaged with BitDefender support and they suggested the same thing - they also added to uninstall TB which I am not going to do.

The issue is that the BitDefender extension is not installed in a normal way, and cannot be removed. The settings in BitDefender do not make any difference, I cannot change settings in a Thunderbird account eg change a folder location, it looks like it works, but it actually does not.

I did find in the about:config extensions.webextensions.uuids key has the bdThunderbird@bitdefender.com entry but there is no indication as to what other strings belong to the entry and I do not to mess things up.

I do realize this is a BitDefender issue, and i did follow up with their support but I am wondering if anyone has solved this annoying issue.

Thanks

After installing the zoom meeting add-on, it's not working. Entered my credentials, clicked login with Zoom button and get an error: {"status":false,"errorCode":4702,"errorMessage":"Invalid client_id: rodney.arbona@thegratefulagency.com","result":null}

This ID is used all the time and I tested it again prior to sending this message

Active Sync 16+ is now in force and Thunderbird has lost the sync via TBsync, so contacts and calendar syncing is now dead, unless TBsync is updated quickly, seems unlikely from reading their website. TB has advised that contacts and calendar are still on a dream list and no date for implementation is known. So TB is no longer a substitute for users wanting to escape Outlook. I am a long time user of TB and a donator, so why have you not pre-planned the inclusion of contacts and calendar sooner or even included TBsync into the code and kept its syncing ability uptodate.

TB with just email sync is no different to many email apps that come with laptop and tablets, so I may as well revert to using in my case Apple Mail.
