Thunderbird recently updated to 60.0 and now I cannot install themes. None of the help threads I have found work. I must be missing something. Everything I try keeps adding themes to Firefox instead of Thunderbird.

I receive emails automatically, but they only go into my inbox. They don't go into folders I've organized with Gmail labels. I can receive emails by clicking on the folder.

Is there a setting I can adjust? Or is this just how it is with Gmail?

I can't seem to find the configuration option in Thunderbird to have the following information added on top of the emails I reply to:

From: <original sender>

Sent: <date-time>

To: <list of original recipients>

Cc: <list of originally copied recipients> (if applicable)

Subject: <original email-subject>

Priority: <priority of the original message> (if applicable)

Sensitivity: <sensitivity of the original message, i.e., Private, Confidential, etc.> (if applicable)

This information appears on the email I forward, but on my replies I always get is a line that reads: "On <date-time>, <sender> wrote:"

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you!

I used Firefox almost since its inception. But I stopped using it when one of my games on Facebook kept asking to upgrade flash player in order to play. I know that flash player is no more and the problem likely lies with the game but I can play the game on every other browser without that message so finally I stopped using Firefox. Is there a setting I can use so that I can go back to my favorite browser and play my game with it also?

No longer able to change size of Thunderbird relative to my desktop

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 60.0 due to daily crashes with v 52.9, and appear to have lost all control over how much screen real estate the app takes up relative to my desktop size, and the size of non-zoomable font elements.

Stuff that used to work: - the Theme and Font Size Changer (even the "unofficial non-expire" version) add-on - editing "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" in the config editor - setting "font-size:" in the "chrome/userChrome.css"

None of these seem to have any effect any more. I see lots of people posting similar questions this year, but can't find reliable answers for 60.0 onwards.

This is a major issue for me, it basically makes a 4K screen unusable for my eyesight and workflow.

Any suggestions for what *will* work, or pointers on how to fix/re-enable any of the above ?

I am very, very tired of FF updating constantly and - if I don't download it myself - it updates without my permission and in the case this morning, lost all my gaming info. because I had my computer set to empty the cache when I log out of FF. I used to love FF, but this constant updating is getting old. I get that you guys have security issues to deal with, but this is just ridiculous. I'm seriously considering going to Edge which I had sworn I'd never do.
