I do not know what exactly causes Firefox (on Windows 11 anyway) to block the copy and paste functions, but i found the easiest fix possible :-) Firstly, for me it never grayed out the copy option on right mouse click, so it seemed like copy is possible - just that it did not copy anything at all! The CTRL / C also did not copy anything - but in MS Edge everything worked just fine.

I had cleared out the browser cache in FF - did not change anything (but maybe i should have closed FF and reopened it anew and things would have worked again - instead i got frustrated and used CCleaner to clean out the online trash in all browsers etc. But CCleaner also had a hickup due to some nag popup for their paid version, so i turned off the laptop and restarted it anew, then CCleaner ran normally, cleaned up all www garb.

Now i opened FF - and guess what, copy and paste worked just fine again.

Go figure what the cause was / is, but a www trash clean pc seems to solve it, that's at least something.

I have been reminded by Microsoft that Thunderbird will be unable to access my Outlook account after Sept 16th. I have followed the instructions on the MS help site to re-configure Thunderbird, but when I try to change the Authentication on the outgoing server settings OAuth2 does not appear as an option. I've been using Thunderbird with no issues for years and I'd hate to lose it... Thanks Nigel

I recently switched from FF 116 to ESR. (I wasn't allowing updates until I had video difficulties) I just wanted my browser to work and be simple; I hate changes, especially some of the things Mozilla bombards us with in updates. (I wish I could choose what I want and not be forced to accept all of it.) To solve my video problems, I had done a refresh with extreme trepidation and that didn't help, so I decided to be on a new version of FF/ ESR because I was nervous about the latest FF. I only understand tweaking in config and adding extensions. I don't know anything about CSS, and I don't want to. :) I did change the density setting in config and chose that via 'customize toolbar.' The density is not compact enough for me. Before in regular FF, I had a tight look to my bookmarks as they dropped down. Now the vertical spaces are wider; the density is not enough. I can't find a way to make it 'tighter' like I had it before in regular FF. (I don't feel like switching back. Sigh...) Are there some other settings or an app that can make the change I am looking for?

(I can't take a screen shot because as soon as I touch a place away from the drop down, the drop down disappears.)

In the main window of the application, in my opinion, an excessively large window appears (approx. 40% of the application area!!!) asking for support (donation). Does a one-time payment (donation) eliminate this window once and for all? I am thinking of abandoning this application, the size is too distracting, too irritating

I recently moved from one email hosting company to a new one and in doing so Thunderbird (128.4.3esr (64-bit)) has become very corrupted. I attach a screen shot of the folders, which shows imap folders in local folders and the wrong order of email folders in imap. How can I resolve this please?

The curse of the behemoth yet again? I refer to the ‘new’ imposition imposed by Microsoft with their ‘new’ authorisation and authentification nonsense when attempting to log in to account/s via Thunderbird. Why this is necessary when it is possible to log in via the usual manner direct is any body’s guess. My personal opinion is that it is a sordid and underhannd way of forcing us to subscribe to Outlook 365? Cynical me? For numerous reasons I need and use 6 e-mail accounts, sadly all Microsoft (outlook.com, hotmail.com. .co.uk and last but not least live.com). No need to explain why the excellent Thunderbird is used and has been for nigh on 15 years+. Over the past couple of months I have tried every conceivable configuration supplied by the support team and other poor users in the same position as me. None have solved my problem. I surely cannot be alone? I do not object to change if it is of benefit but this is madness. For the time being Thunderbird is redundant and the daily grind of signing in individually via Microsoft faces me everyday. Both time consuming and arguably pointless. If someone has a definitive solution please let me know. There must be one?

I follow the instructions, i.e. I go to the account configuration and move individual accounts as I wish, i.e. I move some to the top and others down. Unfortunately, there is no "save settings" option. Therefore, nothing changes and as soon as I exit the "account configuration" window, everything is exactly as it was before the change. What am I doing wrong?

I uninstalled Chrome recently and noticed that in Thunderbird, when I want to look at the mail account server settings, it displays :

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://messenger/content/am-server.xhtml Line Number 171, Column 21:

                   <menuitem
</pre>
^
I only have Firefox.  I had rebooted after removing Chrome.
How can I fix this?

Hi I am syncing contacts between iCloud and Thunderbird and in most aspects it’s flawless. However when I change or create a contact in Thunderbird there seem to be a problem in character encoding. When I view the contact in iCloud the swedish characters åäö are replaced with som random strings. The other way around works as it should.

Does anyone recognize the problem and perhaps have a solution? Thanks.

Hi,

For mails I receive 'today' I found the following setting for the inbox list: mail.ui.display.dateformat.today (now is 2)

This displays the date in the list (after restart of TB). Nice. When I open the e-mail, still only the time is shown.

How to show always time AND date also in opened mails?

I am using Thunderbird to access my Hotmail account. It has been working but now I cannot send emails. My research says I need to change the SMTP authentication method to OAUTH2 but that option is not in the drop down list. Thunderbird says it is currently up to date. How do I fix this?

I'm using a X13 ThinkPad with 1920x1080 resolution on a 13'3 display with Linux (Arch) and XFCE desktop. For the best results I've increased the XFCE's DPI to 134 and fonts sizes to 10. It looks like the fonts of the size ~13 without DPI change. It's fine, and applications like Firefox like those settings.

In Thunderbird I've set the font size (interface) to 12 and in Settings the default font sizes for Latin and Other Writing Systems to 12 (both) and finally the interface font as well as plain text email and HTML e-mails without font sizes specified explicitly look natively and perfectly.

But there are some senders using clients that generate HTML e-mails and specify the font explicitly as 'font-size=12pt' in their body by default. The same as my 12 so everything should be fine. Unfortunately font in those e-mails is really HUUUUGE! I'm wondering if there is some setting that allows custom scaling but only the HTML messages. Or some pt to px custom scaling for HTML? Or some maximal size allowed in HTML?

Hello, I am planning to do a fresh Linux install and in this context I also want to setup Thunderbird completely new, starting with the default settings. However, there are two things I would like to backup and restore (export and import).

1. The information which emails I have explicitly labelled as "Junk"/"No junk"
2. The information from which domains I allow loading remote content

I think this makes a lot of sense because I can setup my accounts easily and the mails, addresses and calendars will be synced from the cloud, and view configuration is no big deal either. Only that kind of "user data" that was gathered over several years is something I want to hold on to, and be able to continue to use. Is this possible somehow? I am not afraid, e.g., to manually copy individual files from the profile folder, if that data is stored cleanly separated somewhere. Kind regards, Chris

Hi there, I still have a problem with the settings in Thunderbird. I have set the column headers differently. But fixing them does not work. There is no button for that either. When I move an email to another folder, it takes the column header setting with it, often the default. Also when you create a new folder it gets the default "Toggel Message Thread", which is exactly what I don't want. There must be a setting somewhere that allows you to set and fix a different order of the column headers by default. In this forum "extensions.set-default-columns@clear-code.com.order" was recommended somewhere. But it is no longer available. After a lot of searching I still haven't found the solution. And it is still very annoying. Please help, all advice is welcome!

None of the topics in the drop down I was given are relevant to my question, which is about the Calendar in Thunderbird 115.12.2, on Windows 10.

When I edit an event or create a new one in the Calendar, the height of the Description window is ridiculously small, as shown in the attached screen capture. It only displays a couple of lines of text whereas my descriptions are usually far longer than that. So I always have to resize the window and TB doesn't "remember" my preferred window height, so I have to resize it every single time I create or edit an event.

Is there any workaround for this, to set the default height of the Edit Event window to a larger height than Thunderbird's default?
