Yesterday, I deleted all my MSF files to try and fix a bug. (It didn't work, but that's a matter for another thread.) Ever since then, Thunderbird has been continuously tying up an entire core of my PC (13% CPU usage in Task Manager, the highest I've ever seen a single program get) which has my PC's fan blaring constantly.
I assume it's re-building a search index, which is fair enough -- but where can I view any kind of log or progress meter to indicate how much longer this is supposed to take? I've only got about 50,000 messages; I don't remember it taking this long when I installed Thunderbird in the first place, I think it was only a few hours...
Also, is there any way for me to put a cap on how much CPU power Thunderbird uses for whatever it's doing right now, just so I can get my CPU fan to stop making so much noise, even if it means it'll take longer to finish?
(For that matter, can I just turn off the index altogether? Or maybe set it to only index the most recent 100 messages for each account, or something? I usually use the full 'search messages' feature rather than 'filter messages' if I'm looking for something older anyway -- do they both use whatever index Thunderbird is presumably spending all this time building?)
Also -- is it safe to close Thunderbird while it's busy doing whatever it's doing? Will the indexing be able to pick up where it left off or is it going to try to start from zero every time I open it?

Up until very recently, I was able to access a website frequently without any issues. Then, suddenly, the page loads without the content, which is an interactive display. I tried all the usual suggested fixes, deleting history, cookies, permissions, etc., to no avail. I suspect if is related to a recent browser update. Quite frustrating when I can't use my preferred browser, Mozilla FireFox, to access web pages, forcing me to use IE. I have attached an image that shows the web page & results.

My recently sent emails can no longer be found using the main 'search' function that searches all folders. Yet, I can still see some previously sent emails from a month ago to when I first started. For example, if I sent an email to a client yesterday and they didn't respond, I have no way to find my email to follow up unless I personally mine sent email folder estimating the day and time it was sent. If they did respond, my email is not in the thread as an 'individual' email in Thunderbird, but within the email itself I can see a the normal copy of the different email conversations.
I also tried using the "filter these messages" search bar for the sent emails folder and it does not work as well.
How can I fix?

Local Inbox saved search folders forgets settings in 52.2.0
I have 4 folders to search chosen for Local Inbox. These are the individual inbox folder from 4 email accounts. This way I can monitor all my Inbox email at one place. After upgrading to 52.2.0, two of the folders became unchecked (both are gmail accounts). After rechecking them and then closing/reopening TBird the chosen search folders were missing the 2 accounts again.

After updating to Thunderbird 52.2 it has started to act very strange.
At first all my mails and folders disappeared and then repopulated themselves. Now every time I open Thunderbird I can see that it continues to download messages I have already in my folder at a considerable cost to my internet usage and cap.
Occasional when I open thunderbird I see that all my messages and folders have disappeared again and after a few minutes it goes through the whole process of repopulating itself.
I think something has become corrupted but I am at a loss as to how to proceed. would it help to uninstall thunderbird and re-install again?

When I click "Bookmarks" in the menu bar, I get the options "Show all bookmarks", "Bookmark this page", "Bookmarks toolbar" and "Other bookmarks". When I use my mouse to highlight "Bookmarks toolbar", then I get my Bookmarks directory structure of folders ("Computer related", "Mail", "Online accounts", etc.), each of which contains a number of websites that I use regularly.
Is there a way to see my directory structure immediately upon clicking the "Bookmarks" menu bar option, without having to go down to the "Bookmarks" toolbar to finally see them? This would save me one step each time a go to a bookmarked site.
I think the extra step may be a result of having imported my bookmarks from Chrome. Thanks for your help!

When I save an image onto my laptop via firefox, and attempt to theview the image in either Paint or Google's Picasa is says that the image can not be opened. I've tried with multiple different images on google and imgur, and it's always imgur pictures that can't be opened, but only if they're saved from firefox. When I tried with the same images on chrome, it was fine. I have adblocker but thats made no difference to the problem. Not really sure how to fix this, not a problem I've ever encountered before.
