This is what I tried - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-date-time-formats-thunderbird I added these formats to Config - intl.date_time.pattern_override.connector_short = {1} {0} intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short They had no effect, see screenshot for before and after. 08:42 for today's time and date = good. 9/3/2024, 09:11 the comma is unnecessary, I want it gone, otherwise good. Monday, September 2, 2024, 17:12 after 7 days ultra verbose? Am I missing something?

All of sudden, clicking a email link on a webpage in any browser on my computer doesn't open Thunderbird, in fact, nothing happens. Thunderbird is set in Windows as my default email program. If I change the default email program to something different, then clicking on a email link in a webpage works. Switching back to Thunderbird as the default email program doesn't work either.

I am using the following operating system:

Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎6/‎12/‎2021 OS build 19045.4780 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

The following version of Thunderbird:

128.1.1esr (64-bit) Release notes Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0

My main browsers are Chrome Chrome is up to date Version 128.0.6613.120 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Firefox 130.0 (64-bit).

Can someone help me fix this problem?

Thank you.

Firefox Mobile reloads tabs automatically

Since I am on my new Phone (Xiaomi Poco F6, Hyper OS 1.0.4.0, Android 14.UKQ1.240116.001), I have this weird thing with Firefox that when I minimize it and then come back a few seconds later, it will automatically reload the tab I was on. Which is extremely annoying because, for example, I was on the Paypal page and was getting my login code from messages, then when I got back on the Paypal page it reloaded and I could not insert the code, but had to click on 'send code' again (and again and again). I saw this issue appear multiple times apparently already on reddit and co. But nowhere I could find an answer to it. Someone? I looked in the battery saver settings and in firefox settings etc, but I can't find anything that makes tabs reload automatically and it makes no sense that anything would clear the cache every time I minimize firefox, no?

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks

I want to disable the Tab hover preview and I follow the instructions per Mozilla Support, which are:

Enter about:config in the address bar and set browser. tabs. hoverPreview. enabled = false.

When I enter about.config and search for "set browser. tabs. hoverPreview. enabled = false" it comes up as false. And there doesn't seem to be a need or way to save that setting, already set to false. But it still has the hover preview.

How do I get rid of the preview mode?

Thanks. Dennis dennis@denniswilder.com

Hello, I'm on the point of reinstalling MS Windows on my laptop and as part of the process I backed up Thunderbird to a USB stick using your instructions "Moving Thunderbird Data to a new computer".

I have four email addresses, one I've used for probably 15+ years, another for 8 years, and two more recent additions. In copying the data to the USB stick, there are two Trash transfers taking significant time, one for 70%, the other for 6%.

I've looked for the Trash folders on my laptop but can't locate them. I have empty Deleted folders (I'm in the UK so perhaps that's just a terminology difference). Obviously I don't want to have these Trash folders transferred into a fresh copy of Thunderbird after the Windows reinstall.

So my question is how do I delete these Trash folders before I copy the Thunderbird data to the USB stick, and how do I prevent them reoccurring?

Grateful for any help with my problem.

Regards, Andrew King
