How can I specify which Thunderbird account is used when MAILTO is used in html? I know I can change the account to what I want after the new message window comes up but I always forget.

How do I make (set) TB to open a new window NOT a tab? It continues to open tabs which I don't like nor see, thereby I close TB not the tab I didn't notice (nor use)

Every time I start TB on Windows 10, I am seeing "Compact folders". The prompt is offering to save around 310MB, but no matter how many times I select COMPACT NOW, I still get the prompt next time.

I have tried:

 - compact all folders in all accounts
 - Repair Folders in all accounts, all folders (which took a while! I have 10 email accounts)
 - deleting global-messages-db.sqlite

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated. Email is still working fine, I am just trying to get rid of the never ending prompt.

TB version 147.0 (yes, I know, I know. But I have made it look exactly how I want, so I avoid regular updates unless absolutely necessary.) Thanks.

Why wouldn't 'BOOKMARKS" be the first (1st!) option instead of stupid never used history? Who let their 3 year old make this change??? I could not find a way to remove history from this useless section...only BOOKMARKS should be easier to find since we all use it the most.

The Bookmarks is the MOST important AND MOST OFTEN USED feature and should be back on top...so annoying and unnecessary!

To begin with, as there isn't an option in the drop down, I thought settings would be the best place to begin.

Hi,

 I'm curious if there is an avenue to customize FF, first for desktop and maybe the mobile,  and possibly even enterprise if accepted, via source. If it is possible, where exactly can I find the code? This is a preliminary question and I do plan to check git. The reason I'm starting here, one may ask of me. The answer is simple enough, like any other enthusiast dev, time is a resource best spent doing something you enjoy. So, where better to ask than the experts and community who may have a link on speed dial. 

Thank you all for any help!

The edit tool bar to set bold, text color and text sze under the "+ new message" is missing. How do I fix?

Question from Jack Anema. , EMail [redacted email from public]

When I used to click on Minimize, it would minimize to the system area down by the clock. Now it minimizes to the taskbar, something that it's never done before. When I clicked the X, it would close out the program completely. Now it minimizes the program down to the system area. Is this a bug, or is this the way you people do things now?

For a long tome Chrome use to be my go to browser, but with all the recent changes and google buckling to legislation changes, I returned to Firefox as my primary browser. You see, because proxy settings can be set within the browser instead of system wide as with others, I primarily used Firefox to access private networks I was given access to. I still use Firefox for this, but mow for everything else too.

I see that there can be multiple profiles set up, which I hope would allow me to quickly swap between proxied connections and non-proxied connections. The problem I ave found, is how hard it was to find this setting with the latest iteration of firefox. It used to be a simple matter of scrolling all the way to the bottom of the settings screen, now I've had to hunt high and low just to find it. Whilst I have mentioned multiple profiles already, if this does not allow me to quickly swap then its pointless. So, can we PLEASE have the proxy page put back where it was, nice and easily accessible,

When composing emails in Thunderbird for Android, I can't find any options to format text.

I can't select a typeface (even the most basic html tags for serif/sans-serif/monospace aren't available) or even make text bold, italic or underlined.

This makes it very hard to create emphasis where necessary, and it feels like ancient emails from before HTML formatting.

Is there something I am missing, or does this depend on the phone?

NB: I can do this with my messaging apps and the Gmail app, which I prefer not to use.

I can't access the keyboard hotkeys config page as instructed in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-keyboard-shortcuts-firefox. Typing about:keyboard into the address bar gives an Invalid URL error, as seen in the attached screenshot. I am able to access other about: pages.

Using the system color theme, where my Windows 10 system is set to the dark color theme, I see Thunderbird 153+ Meadow showing popup menus with weird dark teal background. The standard Window menus (File, Edit, ..., Help) appear to use slightly different background, which still doesn't match my system color. Is there a setting I'm missing to have these menus shown with my system dark color theme (like current Fx, and previous Tb versions)?

I'm using my system color accent setting, but I'm seeing changing this Tb setting doesn't seem to affect the menus background.

I've also noticed I'm not seeing this on Windows 11 – the menus background is fine, although on Windows 11 I'm still noticing this teal "accent" appearing in certain elements of the popup menus, f.e. the color of menu item keyboard shortcuts.

I'm currently on Thunderbird 155 and previously I just had one email account configured and cards view was working fine. However, after adding an additional email account (gmail), which displays fine, my original account is now showing my name in the cards view, instead of the sender. I've tried clearing the cache, repairing the inbox, but that didn't fix it. If I switch to table view its fine, I see the column for "From", although the new account displayed "Correspondents" instead of From, but I switched them to using From to make them consistent. Still not showing correctly for the original account.

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?

Any text selected in Firefox for Android on a Samsung Tablet has the "Ask Gemini" option with no way to turn it off.

This only appears on Firefox, does not happen on the same tablet in DuckDuckGo, Google Play Store, Fossify Notes App, Wikipeida app. Only in Firefox on Samsung. (Does not appear on Firefox on Sony phone).

Gemini is not installed on the Samsung Tablet, and ALL of the possible AI settings, assistants and apps are disabled, turned off or opted out of in both the Samaung Settings, the Google Account, the Mozzilla Account and the Firefox browser settings. There is no active assistant running on the device and Gemini is not even an installed app.

As this is ONLY ever appearing in Firefox for Android on the tablet and absolutely no other apps without Gemini even being installed and actively being blocked from running makes me think this is a bug specific to Firefox.

Screenshots included as this shows it the different apps listed and that this menu is different per app as some have their own context items, which again supports this being a potential bug specific to Firefox.

How can this be sucessfully reported, removed, turned off or customised to stop the accidental activation of an AI Assistant from Firefox when selecting text? (Either as text already on a page or text that has been typed into a form or doc via the web.)

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?
