I find US date format utterly confusing. I want change settings so that my Thunderbird email is in UK date format. 1 - How can I do this please? 2 - If the answer to 1) is "you can't yet" then how soon will this option be made available?

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 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.

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?

I launched Firefox the usual way with a private browsing shortcut today and it opened a regular, non-private window. I checked the settings to select again "Add private browsing shortcut" and went in the app drawer to make sure I was tapping the right one. Still, a regular, non-private window. Rebooting the phone did nothing. App is in the latest release version.

Opening a private window is still possible by tapping the mask icon in the initial non-private window or by long pressing the shortcut and choosing New private tab, but that in no way replaces actually launching the browser in private mode as default like the app itself promises and used to do. According to Reddit, I'm not the only one experiencing this.

How software gets updates with such a glaring flaw is beyond me and I can't decide whether it is worse if this is an accident or intentional.

When I used to go in to the Thunderbird inbox screen there would be a page with instructions on such things as deleting a message etc. Now, the only way to delete a message is to use "rubbish bin" icon. I would like my "instructions" page back!

Hi all,

I’ve been experimenting with Firefox’s new AI chat integration and adding custom prompts via `about:config` using `browser.ml.chat.prompts.#`.

Right now, prompt values are static JSON strings, like:

```json {"label":"Answer","id":"answer","value":"Answer selected question"} ```

This works great for fixed text, but there’s no way to dynamically include useful context like the **current page URL**.

For example, I’d like to create a prompt like:

```json {"label":"Summarize w/ URL","id":"summarize_with_url","value":"Summarize this selection. Page URL: {{url}}"} ```

…but currently, `{{url}}` (or similar placeholders) isn’t supported, and the AI chat doesn’t automatically pull the page URL as context.

This means I either have to manually copy/paste the URL or use a separate bookmarklet workaround, which breaks the smooth workflow.

• • Feature request:**

• Add support for variables like `{{url}}`, `{{title}}`, or `{{selection}}` in `browser.ml.chat.prompts`.
• This would make prompts far more powerful and let AI chat automatically reference page context.

Has anyone found a hidden about:config trick for this, or can this be added to Firefox’s roadmap?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have TB 140.3.1esr (64-bit) running on Windows 11. everything works as expected, I love it!

I can't find anywhere that allows me to change the folder's (on the left) font type/style; right now it's all bold style. I was able to change the size but not the type/style.

Does anyone know how to do that, please?

Thank you

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to move some eMails from the inbox to one specific Storage Folder. I seem to be able to move messages to any Storage Folder I want, except for this one, single Storage Folder.

There must be something in that Storage Folder settings that deny a move. What could it be?

I am interested in Firefox View, but I do not see that button on my toolbar (see attached image). When I search extensions I don't see that come up as an option. How do I add Firefox View?

When I select emails to move to another folder, Thunderbird 143.0.1 (64-bit) will not show me the number of emails I have selected.

I have tried every 'online' fix out there, and none of them seem to work.

Can someone please help me?

sincerely, Ken Wagoner Harrisonville, Missouri

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.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, im email Ordner fehlt der gesendet Reiter. Ich kann nicht mehr feststellen ob eine Mail versendet wurde. Wie kann ich den Reiter wieder herstellen?

Vielen Dank für Ihre Arbeit. Mit besten Grüßen Stefan Krebs
