Just updated Tbird to ver. 115.3.1 and immediately noticed the more condensed appearance of emails in the inbox. Prior to update my inbox displayed fully on 1 screen and then I had to scroll down to see the last 10 or so. After the update all emails were visible on about 3/4 of a screen with no scrolling required. The problem is that this density makes for more difficult reading. I'm not sure if the font is smaller, but certainly the line spacing is smaller. Is there anyway to spread things out a bit? Thanks.

This solution works fine although a bit more ability to fine tune the spacing would even be better. Thanks for the tip.

I had to fix this using a `userChrome.css` stylesheet.

  • In Windows explorer, navigate to `%appdata%\Thunderbird\Profiles`, and then into the `XXXXXX.default` subfolder.
  • Create a new subfolder named `chrome`, and then navigate into it.
  • Create a text file named `userContent.css` and leave it empty.
  • Create a text file named `userChrome.css` and paste the following text into it:

table[is="tree-view-table"] { line-height: 2 !important; }

  • In Thunderbird, open Settings and scroll to the bottom of the `General` pane. Click on the `Config Editor...` button.
  • Search for the preference named `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` and set its value to `true`.

Restart Thunderbird and your messages pane will be readable again. You can change the height value in `userChrome.css` to anything you like.
