Thunderbird - Why Does the Dark theme have black writing on a black background?

I have eye issues so a glaring white background is difficult for me but the theme I used to use the dark mixed system one (or dark one) has black writing when I try to look at details in my 'Tasks' and calendar details, why is this?

Firefox 153.6.0esr (64bit)

Tooltips show white text against white backgrounds, and are unreadable. Have tried with all extensions disabled, but still not readable.

Website Appearance set to "System"

 - have also tried "Dark"; tooltips show black against a black backgrould

Website Contrast set to "Automatic"

- have tried "Off" with no change

What do I need to do to

I have a Samsung Galaxy S 22 Ultra and your VPN worked great until the last update. When the VPN is on, non of my apps work. I get no internet errors. What is the use of having a VPN if it blocks you from getting on the internet? I'm really not feeling interested in renewing.

Yesterday while using Thunderbird on Samsung android phone the contents of my inbox completely disappeared. I searched Thunderbird's other folders such as Trash, Spam & Archive et al to no avail. This is disasterous for me. I see from a Goggle search that this is not uncommon.

Following a Thunderbird update (I think it was 2 updates ago) it changed the behaviour of the description field in the new events window. I use thunderbird in a dark screen mode, and everything works perfectly, except when I try to type something into that description window. I'm now tying black (intead of white) on an almost black background. It's virtually impossible to see anything I'm trying to type. All the other fields are typing fine, white on black. If I open an entry on my calander now, it's fine, apart from that description field, which is also displaying text as black on black. It's also the same if I reopen the entry for editing. I had hoped the next update was going to correct this anomally, but it didn't. Is anyone aware of / reported this issue? Will it be fixed in the next update? Thank you for looking at this. Oh, nearly forgot, when I highlight the black on black text by clicking and dragging (prep for cut / copy & paste) the black text actually shows up as white text on a blue background whilst the field is 'live' moving onto something else, the text remains withe on a grey background. Hope this helps.

The option "Edit as New Message" is only available when a user right-clicks on the body of an email.

The option is not available in the menu displayed from the "More" button on an email. The option is also not available in the right-click menu on an email in a mailbox list. The option is only available in the right-click menu from the body of an email.

Requiring a user to use the right-click option in a specific area of the user interface is an accessibility issue which should be fixed.

Hi

I am from Iran and I would like to buy a VPN subscription from you but I have a questions:

In Iran there is a blocking system called DPI and the government can drop the international internet and only domestic net. At this time does your VPN work?

Many VPN sellers use Iran serves and foreign servers at the same time and do a reverse tunnel so in this way you will connect to Iran VPS but your IP is always the foreign IP with full international internet . Do you have the same methodology in your VPN systems ?

Thanks

Best regards, Peyman

After 158.0.1 update the colors are broken when I open a calendar event (in a popup or tab) in edit mode the description has dark background with black font which is very hard to read. I have Dark Mode in windows and this issue is in both Auto and Dark themes in Thunderbird. No matter what theme I install apart from Light the description in unreadable.

I couldn't find the built-in VPN options on my android mozzila. I tried opening it from the Google play event tab, and it does led me to it but I couldn't interact with anything in that. Does anyone have a solution?

A previous answer to the question "how do I enlarge the font" in an email message?" suggested clicking on "View" and then on "Font Size". No such options are available to me in Ubuntu. What can I do?

Hi, I was referred here not too long ago to ask this. I use a BrailleNote Touch to browse sometimes and I was looking for something lightweight since Google Chrome decided to let my device blow up with all the ads. Thankfully Firefox works well; only issue is that I've been unable to efficiently jump to specific heading levels. Here's what usually happens on Chrome and other forks of it: My BrailleNote has six main keys to type. Headings have six levels, so it makes sense for me to use dot 2 to jump to heading level 2. Issue is, on Firefox and other forks (such as Waterfox), this doesn't seem to work. The tell-tale sign? "Heading level 2" instead of "Heading 2". Likely the browser just doesn't know how to render the headings on this device; annoying, yes, but not too bad. (I just find it less efficient.) Also also unrelated side note but my BrailleNote doesn't seem to render the switches correctly either. It can, however, recognize checkboxes and radio buttons. Just a thought, feel free to do what you will with it.

Have purchased this product, working on my devices, problem is with my wife's. instructed to use my log in on her device's which I did and used password, then her iOS asked her to sign in with her apple password, that's when the wheels fall off.

Regards Martin

When the font size is increased, it becomes impossible to scroll on the screen where you choose whether or not to save your password in your account settings, preventing you from proceeding further.

Bonjour, J'utilise le thème sombre avec Windows 11 depuis longtemps. Lorsque j'ai activé les thèmes contrastés (Aquatique, Crépuscule, Ciel nocturne et Desert ) avec Windows 11 26H2, Firefox 158 s'est retrouvé avec ma page d’accueil personnalisée désactivée. J'ai essayer de la reparamétrée mais impossible : la page reste juste avec le nom Firefox et le champ de recherche sans le bouton de personaliser. J'ai l’extension "Dark Reader" qui s'est aussi désactivé. Tout est revenu à la normale après désactivation des thèmes contrastés. Cordialement.

I HAD MY SCREEN SET UP SO THAT I COULD COPE WITH MY VISUAL DISABILITY AND NOW I CAN'T USE IT. YOU HAVE SCREWED IT ALL UP AND I HAVE SPENT HOURS USING AI TRYING TO PUT IT BACK. I HAD DECLINED THE UPDATE, BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY WITH NO CONSIDERATION THAT SOME PEOPLE NEEDED IT THE WAY IT WAS!!!!!!! I WILL SUE YOU UNDER ADA IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME MY SCREEN BACK THE WAY I HAD IT. Details: I can't have left column bar; I need all my tools on the top bar like they used to be. You made the address bar so huge, I can't move things back on the top bar. You are using tiny symbols on the left bar that I can't even see to tell what they are; I need it in words, not tiny symbols. You took away the choices under the Google Search box so you can't choose to use AI or not. There's probably more, but that's all can think of at the moment. I'm so upset that my blood pressure is skyrocketing and I'll probably have a stroke. This is the second time since I've been a user that you have forced major changes on the users, whether they wanted them or not. I eventually got a usable screen after the prior changes, but it took me time I can't spare, and it was never perfect. Now what you're doing is even worse. Give us a way to go back to the old version so it doesn't destroy our lives like this is doing to mine. I will sue and move to a different browser if I have to.

i have a question for the muzilla VPN . until when is it going to be free ? this is really a great option for us and i love it . very useful . but i scare from that needs us to pay money from a specific time . is there and news about this ?

Firefox on Android freezes completely whenever I open multiple tabs.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the Firefox app on my phone.

Open a website in one tab.

Open a second or third tab and try to switch between them or browse.

Observed result:

The browser stops responding, freezes, and fails to load or switch tabs smoothly.

Expected result:

The browser should handle opening and switching between multiple tabs without freezing or crashing.
