I can't seem to get Thunderbird on Linux Mint to work. Everything font related is a mess. I don't know what default Thunderbird uses when it doesn't know a font but the setting is unreadable. I've messed with a ton of font settings but nothing seems to change anything. Note if I copy the garbage and paste it into a notepad, it is totally readable but there appears to be no way to change this default in Thunderbird. Please help.

" attach the signature from a file instead "

I put the URL in there and it does not retain it and use it as signature image. It is a jpg. It browses in a URL on my browser and loads fine but T/B refuses to allow it.

Suggestions ?

Firefox recently had an update, and now when I am uploading files, I can't double click to upload selected files. I have to first select the file, and then click the open button.

Before the latest Firefox update, I could simply double click on files to upload. This workflow was much faster.

If I go to about:config, and search for: widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker, I can change the value from 0 to 2, and then I can upload files by double clicking. However, then Firefox forgets my last upload location, and always opens in the home folder.

If I set it back to 0, it remembers my last upload location, but I can't double click to open files.

My current Firefox version is 152.0.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

had the need to start a fresh thunderbird profile.

now I forget which setting(s) allow for thunderbird to scan the local folders, NOT the internet, for new mail.

any suggestions?

thank you

In Thunderbird, the "Play a Sound" feature has quit. I changed from 'Use the following sound file' to 'Default system sound for new mail' and back again. That didn't work. I tried changing the file in 'Use the following sound file'. That didn't fix it. I restarted Thunderbird and it was the same. I don't want to uninstall and re-install. Is there a fix?

When I tried to import my OpenGPG keys from the "Select File to Import...", I found that it cannot display the hidden files or directories.

Did I miss a setting for this? What can I do to show the hidden files?

When uploading files with Firefox, I click the upload button, and the file browser window appears to upload files.

For as long as I can remember, it always defaulted to the last folder location that I uploaded a file, but just a few days ago, it stopped working, and always defaults to my home folder.

How can I make the upload window pop up, default to the last uploaded location? My OS is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

I can't access the keyboard hotkeys config page as instructed in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-keyboard-shortcuts-firefox. Typing about:keyboard into the address bar gives an Invalid URL error, as seen in the attached screenshot. I am able to access other about: pages.

With Firefox 144, there is unasked for/unwanted AI introduced. How do I ensure that all AI is completely disabled in my browser? I found a link describing some settings, but want to confirm this will disable ALL AI in the browser. I don't want it, don't trust the privacy/security holes yet to be found and would prefer it was not included in Firefox to begin with. The list I've found is:

• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.enable", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.optin", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.modelHubRootUrl", "");

Will this do it? What about:

browser.ml.chat.nimbus

Do I need to clear that field to ensure I don't get some auto opt-in in the future as more and more of this "stuff" is put into the browser?

Why not leave Firefox as a security/privacy conscious browser and put out a separate AI browser (FirefoxML?) for those that are not as concerned. How does Mozilla ensure that no information is leaked through AI from sessions for professionals that must protect physician/patient, attorney/client information or other legally confidential information?

Please forgive me if this question was already answered and that I might have accidentally overlooked that answer.

I'm running Firefox 144.0 (64-bit) under Debian 13 (linux).

I want to configure Firefox to never restore any previous session when it starts up, irrespective of how Firefox was last exited.

Even if a running Firefox session was externally killed via some sort of system command or because of a reboot, I never, never, never, never, never, never, never, NEVER (!!!) want it to restart in any previous session.

I ALWAYS (!!!) want Firefox to launch with its default start page, no matter what.

I tried all of the suggestions that I have found on line about how this might be accomplished, but with each one of them, there are cases where the previous session was restored.

I repeat, I do NOT (!!!) EVER (!!!) want the previous session to be restored, under any circumstances.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions, and again, please accept my apology if this has been answered and I overlooked that answer.

I'm looking for a possibility to customize the font size of OUTGOING mails (not the incoming, these I could already change). For example, what term should I search for in the advanced settings?

I was a satisfied user of the Thunderbird e-mail client. I especially enjoyed the ability to toggle into darkmode when browsing and reading my e-mail. The previous toggle I used to activate that feature is missing, and I cannot locate a work around to turn it back on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I use Thunderbird 140.11.1esr with Ubuntu 24.04. I also use LibreOffice 26.2.

When using LibreOffice, if I want to delete a number of contiguous characters, I put the cursor at the start of the characters I want to delete, press the delete key and hold it. Holding down the delete key means that delete works its way through all the characters I want to delete.

When using Thunderbird, if I want to delete a number of emails, pressing down and holding the delete key doesn't result in the deletion of a number of emails. Instead, I have to keep pressing delete again and again.

Is there some setting in Thunderbird that I can change that will result in delete automatically working its way through all the emails I want to delete?

Thanks,

Leslie

So I have a list of folders some of which are the default folders some are custom created.

When I try to re-order these it is very hit or miss: I select a folder, drag it to where I want it to go, wait for the blue placement line to appear and it may or may not re-locate. Or I simply can't move the folder I want to move and so I move folders around it in order to achieve the layout I want.

It is as if success depends on whether Thunderbird is in the mood for a particular move to happen and I find it really frustrating. It should or shouldn't work, it shouldn't be that it works sometimes.

What is going on with this?

I use vertical view. Hate threading so that's turned off. I use a medium to large message pane. Recently been having issues with column visibility. Not sure if this is new or whether it's that I've come to a Linux client from a Windows one and there's a setting I missed when I set up the client.

Essentially dragging the column divider doesn't work properly (for me). The columns always seem to auto adjust width. Similarly if I resize the message pane the columns don't remain fixed they auto adjust.

I don't find this helpful. I prefer to set up the columns to display the amount I want/need in subject and From and I truncate the date to simply not display time.

How do I set column widths to remain where I put them? Or is this function now lost.

This is simple. Getting here is not. The issue is the zoom feature which many years ago I could not find. Now it is available and that is great, except: The CTRL + and CTRL - do not work until you first use the function in the menu. Once I use it in the menu I can use the key stroke several times to get it where I can read it. Every time though I have to go to the View function in the menu first. Simple fix.

Hi,

I used to scroll up in current message using Shift+Space, but it stopped working for a few days now. it's not mentionned in moving around TB, so I don't know if it was normal behaviour or a feature added by TB's arch maintainer.

Hello,

I am using Thunderbird on my arm64 Linux machines (Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 and my Odroid C2) and I want Thunderbird to send the correct platform information in the User-Agent line. After enabling Thunderbird to sent the full User-Agent line the following information is currently sent:

User agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0 Thunderbird/140.9.0

Everything is correct except for 'x86_64'. I would like to have sent the actual 'arm64' information because I'm proud using my small ARM64 machines as workstations and as a replacement for classic PCs and I do want to have this information distributed with every mail I am sending with Thunderbird.

Is there an easy way to get the correct information about my arm64 machines into the User agent line?

I am happy for any advice and help.

Kind regards,

     Roland
