Hi, I'm using Thunderbird version 140.0 on Windows 10 and trying to change the background of the message pane. I've tried:

1. messagepanebox {

   background-color: #e6f3ff !important; 

}

but it only changes the upper part and I can't find a way to target the whole flex container or the lower part. There is a forum response (titled Message preview pane background) that targets the message pane:

1. messagePane {

background-image: url("file:///C:/path to image/image.jpg") !important;}

and that fills the message pane when its blank at startup but it disappears when selecting a message from the list.

I can add the background-color statement to :root in Developer Tools and that only works for the current selected message. How can I change the background of the entire Message Pane - the upper and lower part that contains the contents of the message - for each message that is selected? Thanks, David

I have really liked using the "refresh" button with my Firefox browser. The "refresh" button has disappeared from one of my two Dell PC's (I use Windows Eleven, and my Dell PC's have solid state drive). I know there are two other "help" buttons ("troubleshoot mode" and "clear startup cache"). The "refresh" button has really helped me to keep my Firefox browser working properly with my two Dell PC's. Thank you for any comments you might have about this.

Dear and respected ,

First and foremost good day to all of you, secondly i would like to know how can i get JavaScript in Settings and then site Setting and allowed by default like in Chrome because now at the moment JavaScript is missing from settings than tab setting so it is pointless to talk about the fact that it there is no option to allow or deny certain stuff in Firefox because there is no High-level programming language app that JavaScript is and therefor there is nothing to allow or deny unlike in Chrome which i hate to use where all of this is set up as it should be and everything concerning JavaScript is allowed by default, my question to you is how to get that same chrome flawless productivity when in comes to JavaScript in Firefox?

Thank you very much and i wish you all very best

With utter most respect

Howdy! Here are the details noted in my question.

I have Firefox Settings UNCHECKED to open previous windows and tabs, yet it very often tells me it's having trouble opening previous windows and tabs.

I want it to quit trying to open previous windows and tabs on this computer. How can I do this?

Today (06/12/2025) upon opening a new tab, Firefox slid the new option of uploading a custom picture to apply to the background. Tried the new feature, now I can not find the setting that allows me to change the picture. I read the thread "Customize your wallpapers". The instructions are as follows; You can personalize your Firefox New Tab page by adding one of the available wallpapers. Follow these steps:

  1. In the right corner of the New Tab page, click the gear IG settings icon.
  2. In the customization panel, under the Wallpapers section, you will see different categories like Solid colors, Abstract and Photographs.

       Click the category you prefer. For example, selecting Abstract will show a variety of abstract designs. 

The problem I have is the customization panel is no where to be seen, I have click on EVERYTHING possible, it is not in my settings, why? How do find this?

How do I confirm that the AI that was recently put into the browser is not working? I want nothing to do with this technology, if it is not able to be disabled then I will switch browsers.

Mon. 11/10/25 -- Good evening. Periodically, the Wallpaper option that's available when you have a new tab opened is NOT THERE. I've used your backgrounds and sometimes my own. But out of the blue, a new tab will have no background picture and when I use the pencil to open the menu, there are no wallpapers showing.

I don't see a reason for this, particularly since I haven't changed anything and no one else has access. This is a Dell Desktop, XPS 8960, fully loaded, enough of everything and running on Win 11.

So - are there limits to the graphic size used for a background? Would this be caused by a FF update? So many questions, and thanks for answering them.

BTW - I can't select the EM box below, so just send to me at: [edited email from public community support forum]

Started yesterday, whenever I close out Firefox it switches my search engine from Kagi back to Google. Go into settings, change back to Kagi. It's reset to Google as soon as I close Firefox again.

I can't figure out how to get a threaded view for a conversation in Thunderbird to behave the same as a threaded view for a conversation in Outlook.

1. From what I can tell, the ASCENDING setting works as expected: a) Single messages and thread topics in the selected folder are sorted ascending by date b) Messages within a thread are also sorted ascending.

2. The DESCENDING view does this, which I feel is confusing: a) Single messages and thread topics in the selected folder are sorted descending. For threads, it weirdly uses the timestamp of the FIRST message in the thread instead of the most recent message. b) Messages within a thread are sorted ascending instead of descending.

3. I would prefer the DESCENDING view to do this: a) Single messages and threads in the selected folder are sorted descending. For threads, it should use the timestamp of the LAST message in the thread. b) Messages within a thread should be sorted descending instead of ascending.

Is there a way to get behavior 3?

Thanks!

Two Questions:

1. I have invested time to setup all my accounts on my mobile after importing the setup from the Thunderbird from Windows desktop. How can I automatically import all of the setup from either my mobile or Windows Machine to my macbook?

2. How can I use Bitwarden password utility on my mozilla Thunderbird? i have checked and there is no add on for it.
