How to get Thunderbird Address Book export to default to LDIF file format?

Each time I export the address book it defaults to CSV format and I have to manually change it LDIF.

Thanks for your continued support of an incredible product! I'll keep up my annual donations to Mozilla ($100) and to the Thunderbird team ($500).

Why do I want this?

I export my address book as LDIF several times per day.

As I said at: - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1935803

I am a SERIOUS Thunderbird user.

A user for 30 years (counting a decade of Netscape Messenger). I currently have about 500,000 messages in nearly 1,000 folders, and an address book of nearly 4,000 entries. I spend several hours per day in Thunderbird, reading and sending email, reading technical and financial newsletters, plus current news and events, etc. Talking to clients, colleagues, friends and family.

But, I also have significant home-grown email infrastructure. I use it for mass-mailings of tips to the thousands of subscribers on my various mailing lists. I manage all of the mailing lists via the UI of Thunderbird, export them as LDIF files, and use home-grown software to read the LDIF files and generate the mailing list format used by my custom software.

Thunderbird is VASTLY superior to Outlook, Gmail, or any of the other alternatives! Not only in terms of feature set, but also speed, reliability, standards compliance, Unix-style use of plain text for portability, etc.

For more info about my usage of Thunderbird, see: - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1935803

Thanks! --Fred

After installing 134.0 (then 135.0.1) I had the following issues: - These Support pages remain 'white' (I've seen that reported) - https://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ is missing its main title and eg. the search button on the same line. (I can't even find the title with 'Inspect') It is not selectable. - https://www.spaceweather.com/ is missing all its main text. The text is selectable and appears if selected. (screenshot attached). - https://www.bbc.com/ not quite sure, I think there was a big title on the home page, now it's all black.

In each case, I tried to disable the privacy 'badger' - no difference. I also tried installing Dark Metall 1717 - not a solution

I have been having a problem with letters missing when using the address bar or trying to use the settings. I have tried updating my browser, reinstalling, unchecking the option to "allow websites to use custom fonts" but the issue persists. It does go away for awhile if I reboot.

I attached an image of the issue. Windows 11, FF 135.0.1.1175

I've got a Samsung S23, bookmarks no longer display properly on my phone screen while adding and editing bookmarks.

I can only see them in full on my S7+ tablet because of the bigger screen. Is there a way to fix this for the phone somehow?

I used to be able to bypass this by reinstalling, and it's happened within the last 6 months, but now it won't resolve and it's really annoying.

My own email address continues to end up on my own Amazon Web Service's Simple Email Service's suppression list due to "complaints."

I can only presume Thunderbird is automatically and invisibly making these complaints on my behalf.

How do I disable Thunderbird's ability to make these reports?
