Notification requests I would like Thunderbird to 1) notify me that I have received new email(s) even before I have opened Thunderbird. Partly by changing the icon on the taskbar and partly by playing a sound. And 2) also retrieve the emails that are there automatically when I open Thunderbird. Is that possible? How do I do that?

Hello!

I have the "Block AI Features" setting enabled, but I'm still getting the "Ask Gemini" option in the long-hold context menu for Firefox Mobile on Android.

Is there any way to remove this option? It's cluttering the context menu and I dont want to misclick it. Or otherwise, is this a known and tracked issue?

Hi all I'm banging my head against a brick wall trying to get the app to automatically show remote images. A google search says go to Account settings > Reading mail but this isn't an option in the android app, there is only General Settings and no Reading mail. How can i get my emails to display properly automatically ?

Thanks all, Nick

I know that to view the composition toolbar, I need to open up a new message, then click View, and then click Toolbars. However, what do I do if the Menu Bar is also now visible? See attached screenshot.

Since reinstalling Thunderbird and Firefox, When i get an email in my Thunderbird email listing, clicking a link does not open it so I have to copy it and open it in Firefox.

I really don't like the "swipe right to go back" function on the mobile browser: I always trigger it by mistake and reload a previous page when I don't intend to. It's especially bad when reading webcomics, as I have to zoom in and move aroud a lot on the page, and if I hit the left edge a bit too fast I get sent to the previous web page.

I dug around a bit in the settings but couldn't find the option to disable this function, so if you could add it (or explain where to find it if it's already there) I'd be most grateful.

P.S. Please don't ever add AI slop to Firefox, I beg of you

I have two Gmail accounts and one school account that uses Office 365. In the left panel where the inbox, drafts, etc. are, the Gmail accounts are listed in blue but the school account is listed in white. I can't see any reason for this difference in the accounts' settings. What does the difference indicate?

In Thunderbird, how can I stop text in the previous emails in a string turning blue?

I have looked everywhere in Settings where colour is mentioned and everything is set to black text on a white background. Nothing is set to blue.

I do not want to see blue text anywhere.

Please advise.

A couple nights ago I updated from 140.13.0esr to 140.14.1esr, then for haha's, I checked for updates again and it took the big 153.1.1esr 'Meadow' update, now it won't play the selected email notification sound that it has been playing for the last 20+ years. It will play the 'Default system sound for new email' or any other sound file in my Media folder, old ones or brand new ones I put in there, but it will not play the one that it has been playing for the past 20+ years. I delete it and add a new copy of it and it will not play that one .wav file, plays everything else, but not that one.

I have installed Thunderbird 154 in Linux Xubuntu 26.04 and I have Thunderbird working fine except for the scrollbar arrow buttons. I was able to set the scrollbars to always show but arrows do not show. What do I need to set to bring those arrow buttons back?

Hello All, I'm desperately trying to set my uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird to have Body Text as default. All suggestions online are outdated and don't work since suggested places in settings and account settings are not existing anymore. I have a machine at home with Thunderbird and it has Body Text as default. How on earth can I get there? Thanks

I have a folder called "imap://[username]@imap.ionos.co.uk/Sent Items". Its name, however, as displayed is "Sent", and this cannot be changed anywhere (that I can see). This is tedious because I also have a folder called "imap://[username]@imap.ionos.co.uk/Sent" which is also displayed as "Sent". This latter one seems to be a system-generated folder. This has only been an issue in relatively recent releases, previously I have been able to see "Sent Items" and "Sent" in the folder lists.

Is this a known issue? Is there is a fix? It seems like there ought to be. All I want is for the same folder name to be displayed as in the string beginning "imap: ... "

I'm looking for a possibility to customize the font size of OUTGOING mails (not the incoming, these I could already change). For example, what term should I search for in the advanced settings?

Hello. There is no longer a Compose button by my folders on the main email screen. I can go up top to the Menu bar and click on Message, but there used to be a compose button right there on the page...how do I get this back?

I circled in yellow the area I thought there used to be a compose button,

After updating Firefox to the latest version (154.0) a short while ago, Firefox now insists on adding a “Firefox” icon to my Start Menu every time I open it. I do not need or want this additional icon, as I already have all the Firefox icons I want in exactly the place(s) where I want them. I am not finding a toggle for this behavior anywhere in the Settings menu structure, although I might be overlooking it. Is there a way to stop this annoying behavior besides rolling back to version 153?

(I am running Windows 11 on a desktop PC with all updates installed, and Firefox is set as my default browser.)
