I usually use rightclick+T to open new tab. And now sometimes it do a screenshot instead. Specially in some website that highlighting a link will popup an ui. So I want to disable this screenshot shortcut (but keep the open new tab shortcut).

Is there anyway to do it? Thank you!

Xubuntu 24.04.5 Firefox 158

Firefox used to position a new window on the screen in a somewhat predictable manner prior to 158.

For example, if there was a blank space on the screen between other windows, the browser would locate it and be placed there. A new instance would also appear on the active screen (I have two: left and right with a single window manager spanning both) where the mouse was located. Now the window is just placed in some arbitrary locations and may appear on the non-active screen.

I have a number of scripts that load various sets of windows on the screen (typically a number of xfce4-terminals and the browser) which used to pretty much work, but no longer as the browser windows can show up any place and must then be relocated. When I start a new session I have eight distinct desktops with many versions of Firefox on each. It is tiresome to have to relocate one browser window after another.

Is there any option I can set that would revert to the older screen placement algorithm?

Also, I asked this before and don't remember getting any satisfactory response. Why is the -geometry flag not supported on Firefox any longer? What's the opposition to giving the user control over this? I want some command-line method for accurately setting the size (WxH) and position (X:Y) of the browser window on the screen. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for any pointers.

Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer: In Synchronization & Storage what are the pros and cons of selecting or not selecting this option for small or large email accounts?

My email used to put all my new emails at the top of the inbox. But recently it has started putting them in between the emails already in my inbox. How can I get my inbox to load my new emails at the top of the inbox?

Hi I am at my wits end here - The date in my Thunderbird is behind by 1 hour. This is affecting sent messages and also received messages.

This just started today. For over a year, the time has been correct. I have not changed any settings in Thunderbird prior to this issue.

My Win11 computer shows the date and time correctly.

I had a Win11 update yesterday. Not sure if that has affected Thunderbird (My province - Manitoba Canada - also stopped using daylight time changes in the last couple of months.) We are now permanently CDT, and is UTC/GMT -5 - which is what it shows in my Win11 setting.

My timezone and time in Win11 settings shows correctly.

Just to see if it would make a difference - In Win11 settings->Time & Language - I changed the time zone automatic to off (even tho the time zone showed correctly) and set it manually to UTC-5:00 Manitoba, - I changed 'Set Time automatically' to off, set the time manually and synced the time.

No difference with Thunderbird.

Why is my time off in Thunderbird?, and what can I do or check to fix this?

I accidentally clicked on something at the top of the Inbox messages and suddenly everything was alphabetized. I've tried several times to figure out what happened and to get it back without bothering you, but have had no success. Now, of course, because I've tried so many things, the Inbox is really goofed up. Can you help me reset the Inbox so I don't have to go to All Mail to see my messages? I like having current messages at the top.

First know that I have threading turned on. I am unable to find how to thread several email messages that I know are related. How can I do that even though they may not automatically be threaded by certain wording? Thanks Russ Pond

Hi everybody, after switching from microsoft ews to graph using exchange server any response on a e-mail is starting at the bottom. I would like to have my response editor on top above the attached e-mail I am responding to. All other e-mail accounts are working this way but not on the Microsoft Graph e-mail account. Could someone please help ? Regards Thomas

Thunderbird 158.0. (64bit)

So I'm helping sort out an individual who is very computer illiterate and I'm getting them to use Firefox.. but when it updates, the window that tells you what's new pops up... now this is helpful for most! but for this individual it really confuses them and they tend to call me about it every time... so I'm wondering if their is a way to disable the popup window, to make it less confusing for them without disabling the updates entirely?

I'm not sure how to make a feature request, but here is one. Can it be made easier to sort message filters alphabetically? I currently have over two hundred of them, because each site I sign up for gets a unique email alias, and I set up associated filters for them (each goes into a dedicated folder in my Inbox). It's a pain to manually sort them in the list.

Hello !

I'm using Thunderbird in the dark mode. When I open the detail of an event in the agenda, the text is still written in black, on a gray background so this is not really readable (cf linked screen shot)

At some points I had similar issue with mails, but I found the little button "toogle dark mode for mail" that allow to keep the dark mode for thuderbird but show the mail with white background and black text.

Is there a similar functionality for the agenda ?

Thanks !

Thunderbird (157.0.1 (64-bit)) write toolbar missing.

All things are correctly configured, as mentioned in this article, and nothing is working in making the Write (Compose) Formatting toolbar appear again.

Everything is set to compose in HTML format and the keyboard commands mentioned in other articles and so forth do nothing.

Is is perhaps a corrupted profile setting file somewhere? Is there a Config Editor setting that needs to/can be changed ?

Please advise, soonest, thank you in advance.

Hey dears,

my thunderbird on my Android opens everytime with the outbox of one of my mail accounts... I closed the app, logged out/in, nothing changed. It doesn't matter which mail I open before I close the app. Every time it starts with the outbox (there is nothing in the outbox). How to fix this?

Thank you :)

My list of folders on the left, and my list of inbox emails at the top, have both gone to double space. This takes up a lot of room, and I cant see everything I used to. How can I change them back to single space. I did use "control +" to try to make the body of the email bigger so that it's easier to read (aged 79), but the folders don't change when I reduce the font size.
