Remove arrow from Subject field

Mapenzi replied

Hello community,

I'm trying to find a solution to probably a basic problem and one that been discussed a lot. I use Thunderbird on a Mac and want to remove the arrow indicator from the Subject field (screen shot attached). I've tried several different recommendations, but none work.

Any advice?

There is no option in Thunderbird's settings to hide those 'replied' and/or 'forwarded' arrows. The only way is to put the following CSS code in a userChrome.css file:

/*  Remove Arrows in subject column */
tr[data-properties~="replied"], tr[data-properties~="forwarded"] {
display: none !important; }


• Copy-paste the above lines in a TextEdit window, save the file, name it 'userChrome.css' and remove the .txt extension your Mac will add automatically to the name. • In the Finder create a new folder, name it 'chrome' and move the userChrome.css file in chrome • in TB go to Settings > General > scroll down to the bottom, click 'Config-Editor', search for the preference toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and toggle its value from false to true • in TB go to Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Folder > Show in Finder.... then quit TB • move the chrome folder in the profile folder and restart TB
