I refeshed a page just now, and all the tabs have gone weirdly long, it's a nightmare to interact with different pages, the intuitive structure is gone. What just happened? And how can I put the original settings back?? In the past, security updates did not wreck the ease of use, so I'm guessing this was a cosmetic 'upgrade' and I'm desperately hoping someone knows how to roll it back....

Hi. So I've been having this issue where, I search something in google, it searches what I asked it to. Then I search again and it finds what I asked it to. The third time if I search again it'll go back to the first thing I tried to search as if i just pressed BACK twice. Something similar happens if I search for something, and then if I search the second thing and tap on the website and then press BACK, it'll go back to the first Google result I ssearched. It's been a few weeks this has been happening and the only thing that'll TEMPORARILY fix it is if I close firefox. If you need any more information I'd be happy to help you help me. Thank you!

I uninstalled Thunderbird ESR because I am not an organization, but it also uninstalled my general Thunderbird account. I quickly reinstalled a general Thunderbird program, but my address book did not reinstall. When I asked for help, David quickly responded with very clear instructions. I was able to follow them to the Windows file explorer page, where there was no back arrow highlighted. On that page I saw two abook programs -- abook.sqlite-shm and abook-1.sqlite-shm. I went back to Thunderbird, as instructed, and followed the directions to the sqlite option. But when I clicked on that, it took me to my pictures and I could not find a way to enter either one of the abooks. What do I do next? HELP!!

thunderbird Is working fine, but this message crops up every few minutes, and requires 4 - 8 Cancel clicks. I've tried "Open anyway", I've deleted and reinstalled the app several times, and tried the terminal command "xattr - cr" and dragging the app into the window. Is there a proper fix for this. V. grateful for any solution. TIA Brian

As the image attachment shows, the 2024 Local Folders item has a different icon and is not in order with the other years. I'm running 147.0.1 on a Windows 11 system. Selecting Reset Folder Order had no effect. Is there a way to better integrate the 2024 local folder with the other years?

I now have 2 accounts in Thunderbird: Local (which has years of folders, but stopped receiving email from my Web mail provider) and my webmail Provider that does not download it from the provider. He claimed it is more modern and safer to synchronize across all devices and keep stuff on the web Mail application. I prefer to keep all my folders and emails on my local computer. Should I use POP? iMAP? to do that? Thanks for your assistance?'

I have been using Thunderbird for many years. I just got a new computer and installed Thunderbird onto it. I have several email accounts for personal, business and clubs so this makes it easy to keep track of. I have some gmail accounts and 3 different yahoo accounts. Now when I get an email to one yahoo account it prorogates to the other two. This never happened on the old computer do you have any idea how this happened, and more importantly, how do I stop it?

I use Linux Cinnamon Mint on two Dell desktops - they are set up identically and perform in the same way with one exception. Both appear to be the same version of Thunderbird and have identical settings but on one computer the appearance of the typeface (in for example a listing of emails) is less clear /sharp than on the other.

When I say they are the same version - they both say 140.7.1esr (64-bit) but after that on one computer it says "Thunderbird for Linux Mint -mint-001 - 1.0". This qualification appears on the computer where the typeface is less clear but not on the other.

I should add that the issue seems to relate solely to Thunderbird - it does not present when looking at (say) websites on Firefox.

Being of a certain age clarity is important and I just wonder if I am missing something? Thanks for any help.

In the past week emails from one of my friends started going into junk mail. The person in in my contacts. I selected 'enable adaptive emailjunk mail..." and selected the correct address book. The mail still went to the junk folder. I changed the 'move new junk mail to: my inbox, still went into the junk folder. I had him send me 10 emails that I marked as 'not junk' still no success. My emails come from yahoo.com - went there and there was nothing in the spam or junk folder in my yahoo email account. This is happening to only one email address. There's nothing strange in the title of the email or the content. I've run out of ideas.
