Version 128.11.esr I see no way to move the menu back to the top which is where Windows OS/2 Linux and many other OS put it There are links saying going to setting and use Search Type Legacy but I cannot see any option like that in the latest settings.

As Someone who has an award for 508 Compliance, that is the US Federal requirement for accessibility to software. You should always keep it simple. The menu should always be at the top because that is what people use to decide to do.

The younger generation think a search bar is the starting point for finding things. You do not remember the desktop environment I grew up and still live in successfully today.

The main advantage if living on a desktop today is that is free of charge and I do not need to revise my hardware every 10 years let alone every couple of years because it still works and it is secure.

I have arranged my life so I do not have to move to dramatically reduce my carbon foot print. If you accept that environment desktops rule OK.

Also only having emails or events or tasks planning or finance on the screen gives you way more room to read things. I use two monitors because I have a lot to read. I choose what I want from a menu.

I use a search bar once I am on the right window

There should at least be an option to have the menu at the top.

It is the sort of decision that could loose you customers because it makes your product harder to use for those of us who grew up in a desktop environment not on a Web Page. And people who have to work in the US Federal Government.

In my web browser I always have the menu visible and at the top. Then the tabs then the URI editor The search bar is the third line down not at the top. Followed by the bookmarks toolbar then the web page.

Having the same format in every product would makes your products consistent and easier to transition between.

In the latest version of Thunderbird things have moved around for what to me seems zero benefit.

I would repeat an old maxim that has made me one of the more efficient programmers. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I am efficient because I spend most of my working out what not to change because it works. So actual hardly do anything.

One reason banks liked OS/2, was because it never needed rebooting. One bank had an OS/2 server running continuously for 10 years. When it eventually did break they had trouble finding it because no one had touched it for 10 years.

Enough ranting, thank you for what is otherwise a great product. Just be open to the fact that some of your customers would be happier if you just applied security updates and left the UI exactly the same as it was for the rest of time.

Having written utilities for Citrix Systems Inc. that ran exactly the same business logic running on 8 OS. It would be nice to have the same level of consistency in Thunderbird.

The issue with that goal is you structured your menus differently on Linux than Windows, so making things completely consistent would cause some unavoidable movement of items in the menu.

I don't like threaded conversations view. I turned it off so my inbox doesn't show it any more, but search results do and I find it impossible to find what I need. Is it possible to turn off ALL of those threading features across the entire program? Thanks

Hi. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla site above however this does not work. The Enterprise Roots keep reloading after a while.

Any idea how to stop this happening?

I have read many articles on this but nothing works. The E Roots will in initially not reload but eventually after a day or three its back.

Many thanks

How to disable the Enterprise Roots preference-have tried everything I can find on this issue. In summary, deleting certificate via reg edit but this does not work, have to delete certificate every time I re start windows 11 desk top pc.

Any other advice? Thanks

Hi! I'm trying to set Thunderbird as the operating system default under Win 11. I tried to follow Mozilla's instructions: 1. Open the Settings application by pressing and releasing the Windows Start button, then clicking the gear icon. 2. Click the Apps icon, then click Default Apps in the list. 3. Click the icon under the heading Email to show your choices. 4. Select Thunderbird. The trouble is that at n. 3 there is no choice. There is only 'OutlookAccounts' and this item cannot be deleted or replaced. Can you help? All the best, Robifiori

I just updated from Windows 10 to 11 & now my Mozilla Thunderbird scroll bar on the right side is either extremely thin or not present at all. I also notice that My Firefox browser has a very thin scroll bar. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks for any help.

I recently purchased a new computer, transferred everything over and everything seemed to going fine until tonight. I accidentally exited Firefox and when I started it again, everything was gone. I closed and tried again, same results. Not only were all open tabs gone, but so was may History. I just someone from the Geek Squad spend over 2 hours working on this, but same results. This setup has worked for years, what did I do wrong?

Firefox 139.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11

I occasionally increase the zoom level of websites (usually forums) with Ctrl+mouse wheel if the default text size is too small. However, if I forget to set them back to 100% (Ctrl+0) before closing the tab, the next time I open that URL, it's at the former adjusted zoom level -- not 100%. Really annoying.

How do I force Firefox to open all URLs at 100% regardless of the last custom zoom level? I have default zoom already set to 100% in Settings and Zoom Text Only is not enabled.

Thanks.

when we open firefox, the language comes up in Germany, it whats to know if we want to translate to English but should come up in Englisg. we went into settings and made sure it was set to English

I love the Autofill feature but recently it has gone haywire! Instead of filling in First name: Eleanor Last name: van den Heuvel which is correctnor van, my first name appears as Eleanor van and the last name as Heuvel!

I've checked on edit the address but I can't see how to correct it. Can you help?

When i browse using Firefox it has started to recommend I install extensions and use other Firefox features. This is entirely unwelcome and unwanted. It feels suspicious to be suggested third party software, and it feels invasive to get contextual feature suggestions. Please stop these spam advertisements.

I have used Thunderbird for years (now on 128.5.2esr (64-bit) for Mac). I have a very large number of folders, and I would like to have a default setting for columns in new folders I create. I am aware that you can change the column setting in the folder by clicking the "Select columns to display" button and selecting the ones you want, and that you can change the setting for all folders in an account by going to the "Apply columns to..." > "Folder and its children..." > select the account > select the account name at the top of the list. But I would rather not have to do that every time I create a new folder, but I can't find any other way to do it anywhere, including on another answer to a question in this forum, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1426413.

Then I found two settings in the Config Editor... that seem like they might be where this can be done:

• mailnews.database.global.views.conversation.columns, whose settings in my case are:

{"selectCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"1"}, "threadCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":"3"}, "flaggedCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":"5"}, "attachmentCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"7"}, "subjectCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":"15"}, "unreadButtonColHeader":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"9"}, "senderCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"17"}, "recipientCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"19"}, "correspondentCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":"21"}, "junkStatusCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"11"}, "receivedCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"23"}, "dateCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":"25"}, "statusCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"27"}, "sizeCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"29"}, "tagsCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"31"}, "accountCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"33"}, "priorityCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"35"}, "unreadCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"37"}, "totalCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"39"}, "locationCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":"41"}, "idCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"43"}, "deleteCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"13"}, "xnoteCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"1"}}

and

• mailnews.database.global.views.global.columns, whose settings in my case are:

{"selectCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "threadCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":0}, "flaggedCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":0}, "attachmentCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "subjectCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":0}, "unreadButtonColHeader":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "senderCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":0}, "recipientCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":0}, "correspondentCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "junkStatusCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "dateCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":0}, "receivedCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "statusCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "sizeCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "tagsCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "accountCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "priorityCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "unreadCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "totalCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "locationCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":0}, "idCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}, "deleteCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":0}}

The first one matches the columns I see in a newly created folder better, having the "xnoteCol" entry, but my new folders also have several columns related to my CardBook extension at the bottom of the list. Moreover, the settings' arguments don't make sense in terms of what I see. For example, I see the Thread column, whose settings – ("threadCol":{"visible":true,"ordinal":"3"} – make sense since "visible" is set to "true", but I also see the Attachments column, whose settings – "attachmentCol":{"visible":false,"ordinal":"7"} – *don't* make sense because "visible" is set to "false". Similar no-sense settings occur in the second setting.

So there *is* a way to change the default column settings in Config Editor..., which makes a whole lot of sense, but the way the settings are set in these two settings, which apparently are not the ones that fully determine my default settings given the CardBook-related columns that I see, do *not* seem to make sense.

The "Folder and its children..." approach works, but it makes it harder than it should be, and it seems like there must be a way to change the defaults in Config Editor.... If there is, please tell me how.

Thanks for any help you can give...

Some time ago, for some reason, whenever I opened google search or any tab, Firefox automatically directed me to Offidocs. Because of the confusion and inconvenience, after several online searches, I disabled PDF Editor online in extensions, without realizing any possible implications. I assumed that I can restore/enable PDF Editor online if and when I need it. Only when I tried to do so, I noticed the message "This extension is blocked for violating Mozilla's policies and has been disabled". I am unable to figure out which Mozilla policy I may have violated and for what reason.

Please advise me how to resolve this issue and how to enable PDF Editor online. I would like to use this facility as a matter of urgency. I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you.

About a week and a half ago I experienced an issue with Thunderbird going through file folders and 'randomly' selecting emails to move to the 'Trash' file. At present I have over 1200 messages in 'Trash' with no common denominator for why they were selected. I've never changed my preferences for when or what to delete so it came as a surprise to see this many emails sitting waiting to be manually deleted by me. I'm convinced that the issue must be something in the 'prefs.js' file.

Running TB version: 128.11.0 esr (64-bit) Is the issue tied to version 128.11.0 perhaps?

I have four other TB email client accounts that all work perfectly, except for this one lame duck that really is getting out of hand.

Could probably import and edit the old 'prefs.js' file from a backup of the old email profile, but the number of changes would be significant. File size of the old 'prefs.js' is about 17 Kb's while the newly created one (four days ago) is only 13 Kb's

This client email account is / was very old and has been on the TB update schedule for years. The email address contains upwards of 11,000 emails on the server. There is no server space issue either. The email address is probably more than 10 years old. The other four client email accounts I have are much smaller and less than 4 years old.

Thinking that something in this particular client profile must have gotten clobbered by unknown means, I finally decided to delete the account and set up a new one (losing my address book in the process of course). Fortunately I found an 'abook' in my backups that came close to being up to date.

Now, the new profile has these quirky issues where it won't open the inbox in a window showing the header information that allows one click to open the message immediately below.

Further, the new TB client is constantly downloading and updating folders with old emails from the server each time TB launches, and of course, it adds a few more emails to the 'Trash' file each time. Started at about 700 messages before I decided to delete the client profile and rebuild and now surpasses 1200 in just the last 4 days.

Running out of patience and options.
