I switched from Gmail, but there's no trash can icon on cards, which is very inconvenient. I don't need advice like "Press Delite" or "Right-click and..." I want to be able to delete emails efficiently without taking my hands off the mouse, like in Gmail or Outlook. Can't I add it as a setting or add-on?

Hello,

when i do copy and paste from documents, mails or websites i always do it via right-click and paste without format (idk the correct english term, cause i am using the german edition).

Often the text is displayed without format (thats what i want!) but when i send my mail its written in the copied Format (e.g. Times New Roman). Its a little bit confusing that there is text format, when i insert it. The opponent is getting my mail in wrong format. How can i change it? Am i using the paste wrong?

Since yesterday my incoming email are not shown as they should, it looks like HTML code .... not an expert! I attach a screenshot of the email I received for the security code .... How can I change the layout back to the normal layout? Thx for your help!

I have looked in the support section and find the suggested articles confusing so this is what I am trying to accomplish.

I wish all messages stored and deleted on Thunderbird to be reflected on the gmail server. So ... if I delete a message in Thunderbird that will be automatically deleted on the gmail server. Easy. I guess this is settings. But the challenge is which settings to play with.

If it is relevant ... I have many folders set up on the Thunderbird client which are not on the gmail server.

Any help really welcome.

I've just installed Thunderbird and given them a donation, but the big, fat 'sign' asking for a donation is still there and blocking half the screen. I have closed and reopened the program but it's still there.

started a new profile, imported bookmarks, the about:config settings won't die. I've deleted the user and prefs.js data etc. but all the dumb changes I made before switching users just make their way back no matter how many new profiles I create. I have standard Firefox, with Nightly and Private versions installed. Win 11 25H2 whatever its called now.. please help.

I've recent moved to Linux and Thunderbird from Win/Outlook. I have a singifcant message base that I've successfully migrated to Thunderbird, most in bound email but witha chunck of outbound too. This all appears in Local Folders, with the outbpund stuff in Sent Item sub-folders.

Card View suits my well, however when I look at the Sent Items local folders, I always see the from address (i.e. me) rather than to "to" address. This is pretty useless, however I can't see any way to influence if it shopuld the from or to address in Card View with local folders. Am I missing something?

Card View within a 'normal' email account shows either to or from as you'd expect, and therfore works fine.

Thank you.

In Thunderbird mail I set Appearance to my personal preferences...

For me my preferences are : Table View, Non Threaded and Sort By Date In Descending Order Applied to all folders...

There does not seem to be any specific function to save these settings.

So... Whenever I restart my computer my preference settings are ignored and my email account subsequently displays the opposite settings.

Am I missing something --- Or is this a new bug ? It never used to be an issue !

I'm a user of the new "Ask AI" feature in Firefox, and while I appreciate the convenience of having an AI assistant in the browser, I've noticed a significant limitation that prevents the feature from being truly useful.

The Problem

Currently, when you right-click and select the "Ask AI" option, the prompt sent to the chatbot only includes the selected text and the page title. It completely omits the page's URL. This is the prompt that is sent:

* * I’m on page “<tabTitle>Get Support | Mozilla Support</tabTitle>” with “<selection></selection>” selected.

• * Please summarize the selection using precise and concise language. Use headers and bulleted lists in the summary, to make it scannable. Maintain the meaning and factual accuracy.

This is a major issue because without the URL, the AI cannot access the full context of the page. It can't scrape the content, analyze the structure, or understand the full context of the selected text, which is often crucial for generating accurate and comprehensive summaries or answers. The feature, as it is, relies entirely on the user manually selecting a large block of text, which is clunky and often insufficient.

Proposed Improvements

   Include the URL in the Prompt: The most critical improvement would be to automatically include the page's URL in the prompt sent to the AI. This would allow the AI to properly "see" and interact with the full page, making tasks like "Summarize" much more effective.

   Allow Custom Prompt Editing: A second, highly beneficial feature would be the ability for users to customize the prompt before it's sent. This would give users more control over the AI's output and enable more creative and specific uses of the feature beyond the pre-set options. This would also allow users to manually insert the URL if needed, as a workaround for the current limitation.

These changes would transform the "Ask AI" feature from a novelty that only works on selected text to a genuinely powerful tool for research, content analysis, and productivity.

Thank you for considering this request.

Dear team,

Why is it that I selected “Use Paragraph format instead of Body Text by default,” but when I write an email, it still does not automatically wrap to the next line?

And ctrl+A, ctrl+R is still useless. The text still does not automatically wrap.

How do I set up automatic line breaks when writing emails?

Sincerely ask for help. Help me!!! T T

Windows 10 Pro went to a black screen while I was editing a file. Thunderbird was running in the background. I had to do a hard re-boot. When I restarted Thunderbird, the Inbox presentation was different. See the attached file. How do I get the correct presentation back?

I tried bringing back a backup version of my profile (the whole folder tree). The presentation was OK this time but emails were lost. So, I brought back the corrupted(?) profile in order to get my recent emails.

I am unable to locate the setting Enable Link preview. I am using Firefox 142.0 on Windows 10 Home 22H2. This setting does not appear under Settings>General>Browsing. Are there other settings that are required to enable this facility?

How to get rid of "Your browser is being managed by your organization"? This thing is driving me crazy(er)! Please 'dumb down' your reply, as I am not computer literate. If it's a malicious attack, my anti-virus is not picking it up. Thanks!

I have a Snowflake add-on, which requires WebRTC for connections. But WebRTC is not permanently active in my Firefox browser. See image. I activate WebRTC by toggling the config variable media.peerconnection.enabled into 'true' and the add-on works. For some time, only! After a couple of days it is back to 'WebRTC not detected'. What is wrong?
