I need to click the Thunderbird icon twice

2025

Whenever I start my PC, the first time I click on the Thunderbird icon at the bottom of my screen (is that still called the taskbar?) I have to click on it a 2nd time to get it to open. After that I only have to click on it once. Does anyone know I can get it so I only have to click on it once the first time as well as understand what may be causing this problem?

What is your operating system? If it's Windows, that's still called the Task Bar. It's called other things in other OSs.

Yours would be an OS issue, not a Thunderbird issue. I would try removing the shortcut from the Task Bar, then re-adding it

There is an option in Windows File Explorer that makes it so you can open EVERYthing with a single click rather than a double click. I don't suppose that's what you want.

It is Windows 11. I removed it and re-added it. Rebooted. Sadly, the problem remains. " There is an option in Windows File Explorer that makes it so you can open EVERYthing with a single click rather than a double click. I don't suppose that's what you want. " - I have tried that a few times. I am not a great fan of it.
