Good evening. Since a few days (since installed ver 124) I'm unable to use the "repeatability" from keyboard. I couldn't find any adjustment option in configuration to manage this. I tried outside (with other programs) and it works fine. Maybe its me, that I'm missing some adjustment. Would you guide me about this, please? Thanks in advance!

I have now changed the language of my Firefox Browser to English. And indeed the main menu is now in English. But when I click with the right mouse button on an empty space and then choose "Inspect" to access the expert settings these settings are still in the previous language and haven't changed to English. What can I do?

Hi,

I booted up Thunderbird today with the new update and the font size of the incoming messages is exceptionally small (for me). I have played around with settings and font sizes but I can't seem to increase the size of the incoming email preview font size. See image attached for what I am referring to.

How do I increase the size of this font please?

Thanks in advance

I have run into an annoyance where I am trying to click on a link in my email to open a new page. Clicking on the link makes a bar show up telling me that Firefox has prevented a popup from being opened (see attached image). I am given the option of managing my preferences / Firefox settings, where I can either go through multiple steps to permanently allow all pop-ups from that website until I restore my original settings, or uncheck a box to permanently allow all pop-ups from all sites until I check that box again. This is annoying because I have no interest in either allowing or disallowing all pop-ups from all websites, or all pop-ups from this specific website, every time I want to open a single pop-up from a specific site. I would rather that the warning bar which tells me that Firefox has blocked a pop-up also display a button allowing me to allow ONLY THIS SPECIFIC POP-UP IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE.

Is this a setting that exists in Firefox? Alternatively, is there a version of Firefox which does have a setting which would allow this? Or is this simply not a functionality that exists for this browser?

My newly updated Thunderbird has had the "Get new messages" and "Write" buttons replaced with a cloud symbol and a "New message" button. These are not as intuitive as the old ones and in the case of "New message" seemed more likely to be the new "Get new messages" button - but it isn't. Is there a way to restore the old buttons which were clear in their meaning, or at least to customise the new buttons with their old function text? I've tried playing around with the customising button options but apart from being able to add a Get messages button to the very top bar (where I would never think to look for functions other than to minimise or close the window) I cant see how to replace the new and confusing buttons or add some helpful text to the cloud symbol button. Thanks

Hello. I am currently trying to play a web game, but something is very annoying. The game doesn't implement pointer lock, so I have to play fullscreen for the movement to be continuous. Unfortunately, every time my mouse passes past the top of the screen, Firefox automatically unhides the titlebar and controls, and over all tries to escape fullscreen mode. This is very bad for the game, as the mouse movements are frantic and need a continuous mouse. How can I disable this behavior, so that Firefox keeps everything hidden in fullscreen until F11 is pressed?

Thunderbird on my Windows 11 PC was updated to 115.3.1 (64-bit). I like my default view to sort by date and grouped by sort. Since the update, all threads default to expanded. I can collapse the "\"; however, when I switch between email accounts, the view is expanded when I come back. Is there any way to set the view back to collapsed? Or should I restore a previous version of Thunderbird?

Thank you!

I recently refreshed Firefox and now I am having trouble streaming some news channels from my TV provider. The message I get is "FIREFOX IS INSTALLING COMPONENTS NEEDED TO PLAY THE AUDIO OR VIDEO ON THIS PAGE. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER."

I went to my Settings under DRM and found some articles on how to watch DRM content. I dug a little deeper and went to Manage Your Plugins and noticed two Enabled Plugins - OpenH264 Video Codec and Widevine Content Decryption Module provide by Google.

Under the Widevine plugin, there is a message highighted in yellow that reads - Widevine Content Decryption Module will be installed shortly.

It's been like this for 2 days and I don't know what to do next.

OK so once again Mozilla strikes with changing the programs to user unfriendly. Got an update last night that changed the over all look of thunderbird that I do not like at all.

I like my menu bar at the top of the screen where all menu bars have always gone but in this update they moved the menu bar below the thunderbird buttons bar the one that has the search bar and all the various buttons which I added back in customize but I see no way to put the menu bar back up top.

So is there a way or skin or hack that will let me move the menu bar back to the very top of the screen rather then second row???

By menu bar I mean the one that has

File / Edit/ View / Go / Messages / Tools / Help

UPDATE: Issue resolved I found a short article that had the needed CSS code for the needed userchrome.css file so if anyone is looking to also move the menu bar up this worked for me!

The new updates are horrible

I've been using TBird for a very long time and am thinking of leaving.

Fonts are now tiny. Can't read my mail without a struggle.

Even changing font size to be bigger in settings isn't helping, even after a restart. Fonts in mail are all too small to see. I don't have any system override set either.

Are you trying to drive older / disabled people away? Feels like it.

Please give one-button option for old look.

At this point I want to revert to last version but can't find download for old version.

Can you help me fix this please, or please show me link to get last version, and turn off updating.

For future: allow in updates to keep old look even with security upgrades. (I'd love even the old icon, but I'm sure that's asking a lot.)

IF THE LOOK ISN'T BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT. Making someone modern while tossing old users under the bus doesn't seem like your style, until today.

p.s. I'm sure other people have this problem but it's not clear how to find this forum. I first just replied to one of your tweets, but I doubt that will be read.

Mail Toolbar missing in Thunderbird 115.3.1 as reference please view the included screen shot of 45.8.0 with microbird add-on which gave a compact design and listing paper layout of emails (these of course not shown). So just updated to the latest version due to vulnerability and compatibility issues and added the Google Calendar Plugin “Button” interestingly a top tool bar appeared above the menu tool bar to the left of the search box showing most of the buttons of 45.8.0 with microbird but with wasted height space and with the Google Calendar Plugin “Button” to the right of the search box instead of where it should be with the other quick access buttons. A right click showed multiple drag and drop customisable options which I was going to investigate later, however after taking a break and then firing up Thunderbird a couple of hours later this toolbar had vanished together with the google calendar button. Have added the Thunderbird official google calendar integration which can only be accessed via “Events and tasks” drop-down which is primitive and do not like so need to remove but unsure how. So as someone who is dyslexic with eyesight issues and born in the 40’s we do not adapt to change easily (maybe some do?) any help would be appreciated with the sorting out of the above issues. I would add that found some info on a unified toolbar and spaces which sounded good which I failed to understand or comprehend as right click is always greyed out, maybe an age thing.

Now for the Unified Toolbar issue of 115 This is following my previous help request "Mail Toolbar missing in Thunderbird 115.3.1" So the unified toolbar appears to do what I want and it appeared after installing the google calendar plugin Button which worked OK although to the right of the search bar, later in the day after restarting Thunderbird the unified toolbar and google calendar button disappeared completely only visible is the search bar right click only shows menu bar with customise greyed out have looked at a number of replies regarding the issue non of which work - google calendar plugin button is installed but not visible anywhere.


Any help and guidance appreciated. Paul.

Thunderbird just upgraded to "Supernova". I hate it. I'm trying to adjust as many things as I can to make it look normal, but I'm stuck on the font. How can I change the display font used so that my folders and email information (NOT the font used in email messages themselves) is different from the default?

Also, is there any way to change the density or size of just one pane? My email list is too cramped, but if I try to change the size or the density, it changes the the all the panes, and so then my folder list looks way to spread out.

I'd like to suppress displaying message Subject in the folder contents pane. (I'm in vertical view and would like the message contents pane to be wider. To accomplish that I'm willing to sacrifice listing the Subject in the folder contents pane. Tbird doesn't list that as a column I can select or deselect. Any ideas?

The real goal is to make the folder contents pane narrower. But it seems to not allow me to make it any narower than it is. A9(I can widen it, but that doesn't help. Is there any any to change the minimum width Thunderbird has set for that pane?
