1. Thunderbird 78 does not remember last focus 2. Dark mode seems broken out of the box

1. In Thunderbird 68, it remembers which inbox it was last focused on before closing. In Thunderbird 78, it now always defaults to the first primary account. I usually leave the focus to highlight "Inbox" since I have it setup for a unified Inbox view.

Is there any way for Thunderbird 78 to honor where the focus was placed last time it was launched? It's a minor annoyance, but it's an annoyance nontheless.

See attached picture for reference.

2. Dark mode seems to be broken out of the box. I have to force the text color scheme to be white with black background and enable it not just for high-contrast mode to read text of email. This doesn't seem right that the user has to monkey around with the color setting to get it to work. What am I doing wrong?


I appreciate the free-ness of this software, and have been using it since it for years, but version 78 seems to be a step backward in terms of useability...

For your issue #1, there is changed behavior in version 78. It is unclear whether it will change near term.
