I successfully subscribed to an online .ics file but I found the resulting calendar entries inadequate and I want to unsubscribe but I can't figure out how to do that. I've tried searching for instructions but haven't found any.

After 20+ years my email service has closed, and I have kept many old emails on Thunderbird. If I start reading an old email, a Thunderbird message pop up on screen every few seconds stating that it cannot connect to the dead email service. This is a real nuisance as the messages cover the screen over time, and each one needs to be separately deleted. Can this Thunderbird response be switched off?

I wish to keep using Thunderbird for the new email service, but only if I can fix this issue.

Hi, my firefox appears to be missing its navigation/toolbar. I only have a single bottom bar for the address bar, home, tab and the three dots. I would like to have the back, forward button, bookmarks to be pinned on the toolbar area. I try to use the Secret Setting but it does not have the option to enable toolbar. I have included two screenshots, the orange circle depicting my current situation. I would like to have something similar to the toolbar (Samsung Internet Browser) in the other screenshot with teal circle.

When I receive an email with double line spacing I can't find a way to alter this to single line spacing. I'd like to be able to change from one to the other at will. M

Last time thunderbird used to list the message by column. Refer to diagram 1 middle section. Now they list it in up down. Refer to diagram 2. Anyone know how to change back to list by column ? I am now using ver 137.0.2 (64 bit).

I have about 30 messages in my Thunderbird inbox, but when I backup my profile it backs up some 700 messages, most of which were deleted long ago. Clearly deleting them doesn't actually delete them at all. How do I solve this please? Any ideas?

I was able to send messages through Thunderbird about an hour ago. I closed Thunderbird and reopened it and I can no longer send any messages.

Anyone with any help?

I am using zebra-striping for my Thunderbird email (78.14.0, 32-bit), alternating between white and light green. This is generated by the following code in my userChrome file. (The forum seems to change my code after it's posted, but the attached screenshot shows the actual code):

/* Light green, high-contrast zebra stripes in message list */

1. threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(odd) {

-moz-appearance: none !important; background-image: none !important; /* background-color:#99E02E !important;} */ background-color:#EEFFBB !important;}

When the selected message is a white-stripe, the color switches to a light blue to make it stand out, but when the selected message is a green-stripe, it remains green and is only outlined in light blue, which makes the selected message difficult to identify.

How can I override the zebra-striping for *any* selected message (white or green stripe), such that the message is always light blue?

Not sure if this Settings or what.

I was attempting to add a gmail address (one of mine) to Thunderbird. I got what you see in the attached. It's taking up one of my two entire monitors. (I'm writing via the 2nd monitor.) There's no title bar. The listed links don't work Ctrl F4 to close the window doesn't work. It's stuck there (Hung).

AND, "ALLOW" doesn't appear.

I'm going to have to reboot. But I really need to set this up.

Thanks, Kami

How can I remove the distracting dashed border that sits in the margin of the Compose / Write window? See the attached graphic.

Is there a setting to remove it? Perhaps I can tweak the CSS to make the color match the background so it disappears?

I have tried MANY times to make Firefox remain persistent as my browser. It appears I should log into an Administrative account to do so. Microsoft Edge appears to be the problem by remaining the default. I was told by the Tech Sprt for my Asus laptop to "delete" Edge. I entered the Administrative account using DOS. So many changes have taken place since I last used this account that I'm uncomfortable trying to take this approach. I was led to an administrative directory using "search" end while there was able to get a directory listing using DOS. But can't proceed. I really need the Windows pictorial version to proceed or technical support (preferred). Whoever helps must be fully capable.

Asus TS said I must delete MS Edge. The person seemed capable, but if I delete Edge, which I haven't found a way to do so safely, that may create problems but makes sense to do so because of the interference of MS Edge. My memory on how to proceed is that this process was MUCH less complex. I've read a number accounts by others with the same problem. My reasons for using Firefox, as an private engineer are to help prevent the stealing of intellectual property from wherever. Otherwise I'll have to abandon everything.

I changed a pop email password (on Earthlink) for one of my accounts, but I couldn't locate where I change it in Thunderbird. I've searched account settings, but I don't see it there.

I WAS able to change the password when I got a popup the second time I tried to send it, which let me change the password .... and it mentioned Password Manager. But "Password Manager" does not come up in Settings when I type it in the Search box.

Is there an option to save the sender's address into the address book automatically when replying to an email? Where is it? I think I need to turn it off!!

I have been having enormous trouble with emails from a group of people who use the same 'noreply' return address. It seems that the name of one of these people was inserted into my address book together with the 'noreply' email address. Every email received from the group over the recent past has been overwritten by that name as being the sender.

I don't know if, at some time in the past, I (accidentally?) hit the reply button triggering an update to the address book - or what else could have happened.

I found the record concerned in the address book and deleted it, which has stopped the problem. But I need to stop the problem recurring.

I've spent days trying to sort this out and am now totally confused so I do hope my explanation above is clear. Please point me in the right direction for a solution

My question: is there a way to force a light TB theme and use white tab background text color?

I installed a theme add-on which I like except the associated dark theme. I want to use the theme image with a light TB theme but it appears the tab background text color determines the theme color (light or dark). This image has some darker colors and a light/white tab text looks the best, but this color seems to force a dark theme for the rest of TB (White text ->dark theme). If I change the manifest file to use a different tab background text color I can change the overall theme to light or dark. Using a darker or black tab background text color the theme changes to a light theme. Light tab background text color changes to a dark theme and darker tab background text colors forces a light them. I'm guessing there is a threshold 1/2 way between black and white text that will force the theme one way or another.

The articles I have read on this json file don't provide any examples and this is as far as I have been able to get. I'm new to both TB and modifying this json file. Any help would be appreciated
