Just reinstalled and re-setup Thunderbird. This morning, a window popped up on my desktop titled: Activity Monitor. Never seen this before. Did I turn on something to make it appear? Can I turn it off?

I am trying to set up a visualization of the columns of the main interface. Here's what I do:

  1. Click on the list icon in the top right corner.
  2. Uncheck the columns I want to hide. Specifically, From (CB), Recipient (CB), and Correspondents (CB).
  3. Apply the selection to all folders: click on the icon in the top right corner, apply columns to.. > folders and its children... > select account > Confirm

These actions produce immediate results. However, the next day or a few days later, when I reopen the program, the column display changes. Sometimes in the main folder (inbox), sometimes in the subfolders.

Is this a known bug? Is there anything I can do to keep the desired column configuration stable?

Thunderbird loses the left margin when I try to forward and/or reply to some messages

I forwarded an email from a different email client to my Thunderbird email client and when I opened that email the left margin was gone. I tried selecting the text and clicking on the right index and nothing happened.

This type thing has happened before when I forward something that comes to my TB account, but usually highlighting the text I add, and clicking on the right index, will move it over a bit.

I would like to know why this is happening, and if I can prevent it or solve it when it does. It looks so unprofessional and sloppy when there is no left margin.

Thanks, NM

Window resizing and position doesn't persist

I am using Thunderbird 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Kubuntu 25.10 multi-monitor configuration. New install, very little customization.

Thunderbird will not retain the window size or position for the main window or messages. I have have tried deleting both the xulstore.json and session.json files (one at a time and both). When I delete the xulstore.json file and restart Thurderbird, it starts maximized. When I set the position manually e.g. to use about 90% of the screen for the main window and about half the width and about 90% of height for a message window and then close Thurderbird I can see the new window size vales written into xulstore.json e.g 2493 x 1362 and 1501 x 1317 "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"2493","height":"1362"} "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"1501","height":"1317"}

When I close and restart thunderbird it reverts to opening in the center of the primary monitor at a smaller size than when I closed it. The values in xulstore.json have changed to 960 x 540 "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"960","height":"540"} "messengerWindow":{"sizemode":"normal","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","width":"960","height":"540"}

I found a similar recent question if this helps with a possible solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1527783 but I cannot locate the referenced userChrome.css file to see if there might be something similar to try.

I am also using a multi-monitor setup. If I move the Thunderbird window to the second screen and close it, it always re-opens on the primary display at the 940x540 size. Thanks!

Very little to do with accounts, but none of the selectable topics cover 'user Interface'.

Used to be able to open different accounts in different windows. Can't remember how, but it was obvious. Once new window is created, each time Thunderbird is started it re-creates them. I accidentally closed one and can find no way to re-open it. I use three email accounts each needing a different mindset, so keeping them in different windows helps. Also one has a screendepth full of folders and so is easier to handle in its own window. (The others are still there but only take up one line each when collapsed.

Why does the spellchecker have to check the original message, as well as the reply? The original message always shows errors, if only because the sender's email address isn't in the dictionary or the sender didn't bother with capitals, showing his name as "jeff", instead of "Jeff". I end up clicking Send Anway every single time.
