Thunderbird in the past showed a red number above the dock icon telling me I had so many new emails. The newest version I now have does not do that and I cannot find a setting for that. Anyone know how to get the number back????

I use Thunderbird on my desktop and laptop for my mail. I use Outlook on my Android phone. When I delete old messages from my SENT MAIL folder on the computers, it doesn't delete from the SENT folder on my Android Outlook program. What settings do I need to have it delete in ALL places from SENT when I delete it in any one place. Thanks for any help you can offer.

As per the picture, when sending an email, the menubar 'partly' appears. Yes, if you press <Alt>, it shows normally, but when it's supposed to be hidden, it's still there...

Thanks.

I see there are 3rd Party Message Filters. However, I'm not looking for those. I'm looking at the Tools> Message Filters>Filter name for:, where you can add Email Details>choose what part of the email, and then move Message to. I want to be able to view the Filter name alphabetically in the Folder(s)...without having to sort so many of them individually.

Example:

- Filter name: 123@domain.com - Match: From - Move Message to: Spam - Message Filters (alphabetically)

Any help would be appreciated.

What in the world are you thinking!?!

Firefox fails to obey OS-defined DNS and instead overrides this to use …….Cloudflare? Are you nuts?

Whoever told you Cloudflare is private or secure failed to educate you on Surveillance Capitalism.

For the love of all that is good in this world, rekey Firefox to allow user-defined DNS- whether that is through DHCP, manual config or a management profile.

I recently moved thunderbird from my Win 7 laptop to a new laptop with Win11. All was OK for awhile. One day all of my Local Folders were no longer in alphabetical order. Some folders, like Outbox are under Local Folders. Is there a fix? Please don’t tell me to uninstall and re-install.

I want to delete Preview Links. I tried going to Settings>General>Browsing, however, there is no "Browsing" section. I have a Linux Mint. I do NOT want Preview Links. Thank you.

i have no use for the 'profile' tab on the tool bar, how do i perminately remove it? i can not drag it to overflow, it drags the entire toolbar. very frustrationg. also i have no need or use for 'open in split view' in the right click menu. all both of these things do is clutter up the tool bars. please make it easier to remove these things.

I tried the Toolbar fixes in this forum and got the menu to show up, thank you. (Any menu in Compose mode had disappeared. Actually, both Firefox and Thunderbird icons on desktop and Taskbar had disappeared as well, and I had to reinstate shortcuts. This may or may not be pertinent.)

But when I try to add "Send" to the menu, using customize, the "Send" icon is nowhere to be found as an option, so I cannot add it to the Toolbar in Composition mode. "Send" is grayed out in all bold textmenus. If I use Ctrl-Enter, message does get sent. Using Windows 10, still. Perhaps this is an upgrade issue?

Every time I boot up my computer firefox spams all of my previously opened tabs on my main screen. Due to the nature of my work, many of these windows are irrelevant to my work the following day. The only setting I can find to disable this behavior is already toggled off. Is this a bug? It's becoming really frustrating to close a billion windows every day when I come in to work.

I'm using the firefox instance packed in with Fedora, I believe it's a system package, not a flatpak.

zen_browser has this feature which I use multiple times per day every day: keyboard shortcut ´shift+cmd+c`to copy current URL to clipboard.

This is such a useful feature. It helps me save time and speed up my workflows a lot, so much that it's absence in Firefox is preventing me from going back to Firefox.

The feature was implemented in v1.6b back in early 2025 in zen_browser.

Ever since one of the recent updates, my new email notification box is showing up on wrong monitor. I have a 2 monitor setup, the notification box is now showing up on the second monitor. I have tried turning the option off and back on but makes no difference.

Using Acronis True Image for Western Digital (ver 2025 build 41936) to backup my files on a daily basis. Recently the backup program has been stopping and reporting that it cannot access some Thunderbird files, even when Thunderbird was not running (1st image) I tried 'Compacting all Folders' in Thunderbird but the result was the same (2nd image). Lastly, I tried clearing the cache - the result is the same. In all cases Thunderbird was not running during the backup.

i realize that this is not a Thunderbird issue, but I've been unable to get help elsewhere. I wondered if anyone might have a solution since Acronis apparently sees the file as being accessed - is there a way to remove that?

Greetings, Is there a way to change the order of threads in a folder? The all appear with the oldest message in the thread at the top and new emails that come into that bunch are buried at the bottom with no indication that they are there. I'd like to have the newest entry to the thread at the top and to have the threads with new messages highlighted until the message is read. Possible? Many Thanks

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
