Hi, When I get a new email, the sound plays (correctly) and a notification popup appears on my Windows 11 desktop. Unfortunately, the same notification appears over and over.

It seems like it won't go past that email until I read it. I'm expecting the popup to relate to the very latest email that is arriving.

In settings, I have checked Show an alert, Use the system notification, show a tray icon for unread messages. In customize, I have all 3 fields checked with a 4 second timeframe.

I am using 128.3.0esr (64 bit) with nebula

Can this be resolved? If so, please enlighten me.

Thanks in advance! Don Sceifers

firefox / thunderbird: Different behavior on first run after having copied configuration folder

Hi community,

I want to configure a guest account on a ubuntu system. This is done by configuring a standard account and link the guest account to the standard account.

For firefox that means, that the .mozilla directory of the guest account points to the .mozilla-directory of the standard account. (The files in the standard account are not changes, so every new guest session starts with the same preconfigured environment.)

When starting firefox in the guest session, most of the settings, e.g. homepage, installed language packs, coockie settings, are recognized. Strange enough, the language packs have to be enabled again. Somehow firefox in the guest session realizes that firefox is run the first time in the newly created guest account. In my use case, firefox starts up in English because the German language pack is disabled. In the configured standard account the language packs are enabled, active, etc..

With thunderbird the behaviour is different: Copying the .thunderbird (or appdata/roaming/thunderbird-folder in Windows) leads to a completely configured thunderbird. No "first run"-questions or -settings have to be answered.

My questions are: 1) How does firefox realize that is has a "first run" situation? Why is copying the .mozilla-folder not enough for transfering the profile(s)? How can firefox be configured to use the existing .mozilla-directory without asking first run questions? 2) How can firefox in a first run situation (with complete profiles and correct profile.ini) be started with e.g. an enabled German language pack.

Thanks a lot

Martin

Hello,

I am running Thunderbird 128.3.0esr on Windows 11 as POP on gmail and having issues with junk mail. Items are being moved into the junk folder despite identifying them as not junk. I go into the junk folder, identify them as not junk, they move to inbox, and at some point Thunderbird moves them from inbox to junk. Nothing I do seems to prevent this from happening.

I decided to turn off junk detection. Attached are screen shots. However, the problem still occurs. Mail in my inbox move to junk without me doing anything.

Help!

Thanks, Art

Hello,

I recently switched from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I’m having trouble with how PDFs are handled. When I click on a link for a PDF, I see the PDF symbol indicating it can be opened or downloaded based on my preferences. However, I want PDFs to download directly without opening when I click a download button, similar to Chrome’s default behavior.

In Chrome, if I click a link to view a PDF, it opens in the browser. But if I click a download button, it downloads without opening. I’d like to achieve the same in Firefox: view PDFs when I click a link but download them directly when I click a download button.

Thank you for your help!

both my wife and I use TB on each of our machines mine is Windows 10 hers Windows 11, It has been fine for a while, but her machine sometimes shows a blank email that is fine on mine, by highlighting the folder and right-clicking and selecting folder properties and selecting repair folder this has resolved her issue.

Now however she has blank emails again, when selecting folder properties nothing happens no dialogue window appears, from the edit drop-down menu you can normally select folder properties as well but that option is not even there.

when she does right-click she has options which are from other drop-down menus as though the whole menu system has become corrupted. is there a solution to this or do I need to reinstall, if I do how do I keep all of her current emails and archives which go back about 15 years?

both on version 128.3.0esr (32-bit)

Hi, I recently updated my browser and am really disappointed that a previous solution to remove this frankly useless button was made obsolete. The correct way to have handled this on the road from 106 to now is to include an option in the right-click menu to remove said button. This option - while you can read it in the menu - is simply unclickable. This useless button that just hogs space like the toolbars of old is unable to be removed at all, as fiddling aroudnd with a userChrome.css file also didn't remove it. I would like either a concise way to remove that button that actually works or the ability to use my other mouse button to do something about it.

I want to be able to view inline PDFs in the browser, and download PDFs sent as attachments, without opening them in Firefox. I've searched the forum, tried different combinations of download settings and toggling `browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline` but no dice, either Firefox downloads every file (inline or attached), or it opens the local file in the browser.

I respect that the PDF viewer in Firefox is great, and I want to keep using it when I choose. Right now, I have a download progress that pops up, then the browser becomes unresponsive and switches to the new tab, which is disrupting.

Seems simple but how can I have the following behaviour? - Inline PDF -> view in browser - Attachment -> download without opening in browser

Hi, I've used thunderbird (now 128.3.0esr)/calendar for years on my NUC7 running linux (now 22.04.5 LTS) with no problems.

Within the last couple of days, however, I no longer seem to be able to "drag-and-drop" events or tasks from one day to another. I can use the mouse to select/delete/etc an event or tasks, but I can't seem to move them with the mouse -- I need to "edit" the events. Is this a known issue?

Any help appreciated -- I haven't been able to find anything about this with web searches.
