Windows 10 on PC with Thunderbird 140.1.0esr (64-bit) Since the last update, the background on my Tbird messages list, email panel and in my compose email panel have turned from my eye-friendly light grey to glaring white and this is literally causing me a headache and a "flimmer" in my eyes (common in people with blue eyes). All other programs in Windows show me the light grey background as they should, it's Thunderbird itself which isn't picking up the light grey. The only place in all the tools and settings menus that I was able to find ANYTHING about background colour was (three bars) -> tools -> Settings -> HTML Style [ ] Use reader's default colours <- makes no difference whether this box is marked or not Beneath that: Text Colour is set to black. Background colour is set to light grey. There is no way to Save the settings page, so one presumes they are automatically saved. Restart (done several times) Thunderbird - still this blasted white background. I do not use HTML for emails, I use plain text. Could someone please tell me how I can get my light grey background back ?

I am unable to add new contacts in my contact list. It definitely is creating a problem. Why will it not let me add them, please and how do I fix the issue? I did not have this problem until I got a new computer and using Windows 11.

Hi,

On my desktop, thunderbird does an awesome job cutting spam. While on the mobile its terrible, not just are most spam mails coming thru but some legit emails are getting flagged. Is there some way to make it mimic the desktop.

Thanks in advance

I have Verizon FIOS and have been able to receive cable channels on my laptop until recently. Now I cannot access them without a sign-in which leads to some sort of error that I don't understand. Any help?

‘accessibilty impaired for tab scrolling. SO HARF TO FIND AND KEEP CURSOR ON THE TEENEY TINY BAR. LOTS OF PAIN IN MY ARM AND HAND. no ability to join discussion. circular links. I HATE IT. AM GOING BACK TO CHROME. TAB THING WAS ONLY REASON I CAME BACK TO FIREFOX

I just installed Thunderbird on Windows 11 and find that the text used for the Message List and Folder List is too small for me. But changing the font settings does not appear to impact the text size for these two areas, even after restarting.

Am I stuck? Or is there a way to increase the font size of folder lists and message lists?

I have arthrytis in my hand, and trying to keep that narrow moving in and out bar on the right of the page or drop down like the tab menu, is agonizing. WHY NOT MAKE IT WIDER????

Hallo Community,

Seid dem neuesten Update von Android schiebt sich das browserfenster nicht automatisch nach oben. Wenn die tastatur eingeblendet wird. Sprich der chat, also das was ich schreibe, verbirgt sich hinter dem tastaturfeld.

Vor dem Update musste ich das auf vielen websiten nach oben schieben. Um das zu lesen, was ich aktuell tippe. Nun kann ich das nicht mehr hochziehen. Und muss jedesmall die tastatur verbergen, lesen, korrigieren.. weiter tippen :/

Meine versuche, die bisher erfolglos geblieben sind: Firefox app neu installieren. Andere tastatur für android installieren. Neu starten vom smartphone.

Das Smartphone hat kaum apps installiert. Ist also ziemlich blank. In anderen browsern habe ich nicht das problem. Ausschließlich in firefox. Und das auf jeder Homepage mit einem chatfenster.

Firefox ist das aktuellste aus dem playstore. Also frisch. Samsung tastatur Samsung galaxy s 23 ultra. Neuestes betriebssystem (update novemer 2025) Wenige apps installiert, wie krankenkasse oder email.

So now home screen icons are circles.

Can you please not? At least allow me to set my own style for home screen. I always prefer rectangular shapes on my device, they make everything more recognizable and easier for my autistic brain to navigate. I'm sick and tired of everything becoming soft and rounded nowadays.

I need to enlarge the font on the bookmarks toolbar as I have a visual impairment. I can find ideas for the regular toolbar, but not for the bookmarks toolbar...oh, and I am working on a Mac.

Thanks in advance for any help.

When I open up my facebook page it loads but is blank. When I open my youtube channel it opens but when click video in opens I can see chat and can talk in chat, but the video doesn't play wheel keeps spinning. Have no problem on my phone or my tablet just Firefox. please send any questions to this email account since I can't access my mail [edited email from public community support forum]
