When I installed Thunderbird, I selected Custom Installation, thinking I would get an opportunity to select which components I wanted installed. All it allowed me to do is define the installation folder. Not very "customizable." Anyway, I already have a calendar app that I'm perfectly happy with, don't need a task manager, and don't use chat, Is there a way to remove those apps from Thunderbird?

When I resize a regular Firefox window (in Windows 11), I can resize it to have a quite a small width.

If I pin the same website to the taskbar to make it into a web app, now I can't resize it to the same width, and the windows appear locked to a much larger width.

This is annoying because specific web apps can be resized a lot smaller to fit that specific site's interface. If anything, I would want to make the windows smaller more often than I would with regular Firefox windows.

If there's a setting to turn off this width limit, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

Settings config section to "Incoming Mails," sub-section - "When new messages arrive" to: "Play a sound" buttons... "Play" and "Browse" are non-functional buttons.

Consequently, one cannot change the incoming notification sound.

BTW, the present link indicating a notification sound doesn't work, either.

I use middle-click to close the tabs and move and select tabs around a lot and often misclick on a button by accident and I find that really annoying and tedious to always have to scrutinize the buttons before clicking.

I want to hide all of these buttons.

I have tried userchrome and etc... user scripts, that does not work reliably.

I accidentally clicked on something at the top of the Inbox messages and suddenly everything was alphabetized. I've tried several times to figure out what happened and to get it back without bothering you, but have had no success. Now, of course, because I've tried so many things, the Inbox is really goofed up. Can you help me reset the Inbox so I don't have to go to All Mail to see my messages? I like having current messages at the top.

When I try to open some links, Firefox gives me the option to "Always open links on apps".

This needs to be fixed. Instead of the option to Always open links in apps, it should be changed to always open links of that type in the external app. I may want torrent links to open in external apps, but maybe I don't want Reddit to automatically do the same thing.

Hi I am at my wits end here - The date in my Thunderbird is behind by 1 hour. This is affecting sent messages and also received messages.

This just started today. For over a year, the time has been correct. I have not changed any settings in Thunderbird prior to this issue.

My Win11 computer shows the date and time correctly.

I had a Win11 update yesterday. Not sure if that has affected Thunderbird (My province - Manitoba Canada - also stopped using daylight time changes in the last couple of months.) We are now permanently CDT, and is UTC/GMT -5 - which is what it shows in my Win11 setting.

My timezone and time in Win11 settings shows correctly.

Just to see if it would make a difference - In Win11 settings->Time & Language - I changed the time zone automatic to off (even tho the time zone showed correctly) and set it manually to UTC-5:00 Manitoba, - I changed 'Set Time automatically' to off, set the time manually and synced the time.

No difference with Thunderbird.

Why is my time off in Thunderbird?, and what can I do or check to fix this?

Suddenly with the latest update, I'm seeing "send link to mobile" when I right-click on a link. I understand this is useful for many people but I will never use it and would like to remove it from the already-cluttered context menu. I don't see any instructions for doing that, and couldn't find it in about:config. It's frustrating to have something suddenly added without my consent and with no information on how to remove it.

At Thunderbird > Settings > Privacy & Security > under Passwords > "View Saved Password", the dialog box pops up correctly. But the size of the box is so small the columns can't display the complete info i.e. username, password, or date. When I hover on the column divider I get the left/right sizing arrow but nothing happens when I click & drag the arrow. I am on Thunderbird 159. Thanks.

So I'm helping sort out an individual who is very computer illiterate and I'm getting them to use Firefox.. but when it updates, the window that tells you what's new pops up... now this is helpful for most! but for this individual it really confuses them and they tend to call me about it every time... so I'm wondering if their is a way to disable the popup window, to make it less confusing for them without disabling the updates entirely?

In other browsers (Brave, for example, and Chrome) I can open a drop down menu, and while holding Ctrl choose multiple sites to view. In Firefox, if I drop the menu and choose one site, the menu disappears before I can choose others, even if I hold the Ctrl key. I have to reopen the menu for every site I want from that menu. Is there a way to make FF act like other browsers in this respect?

I have the new VPN feature disabled, but I cannot remove it from the main menu reachable from the url bar (three dots). Even after turning it off, it stays at the top. Please let me remove it from the shelf. It is very distracting.

Maybe the settings page for it could also have a toggle to show/hide the VPN in edition to enable/disable. I tried the nimbus experiments and debug settings but the opt out does not persist.

In the short term, a secret setting would be appreciated.
