The fucking forced dark mode has return despite the previous fix layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1 in about:config fixing it for years. This and the current replacement fixes don't save. I want a solution for PERMANENT light mode (black text on white background) for ALL menus, pop-ups, dropdown menus and hover over tab info.

And don't tell me to go search for a different theme I've already spent hours doing that and firefox has broken them only making some menus use the appropriate mode. On top of that I can't even pick an option to search for one that uses light mode I just have to go through each one and try it if I want to know which mode it uses that is NOT a solution to anything.

Replacement "fixes" for reference: ui.systemUsesDarkTheme won't even let me set to 0 only has true/false browser.theme.content-theme set to 1 browser.theme.toolbar-theme set to 1 (Why in the absolute hell these were added when a simple addition to preference setting wasn't is beyond me)

Very sorry for the aggressiveness but I am so very VERY tired of having to fight firefox on this preferance for years when their dark mode hurts my eyes.

I want to change the order of two email accounts and a set of Local Folders in the Folder Pane. How can I move one or the other up or down relative to the others?

I know it may sound a bit strange, but I would like to know WHY an extension is not allowed in a private window, so I might understand the reason why I'm not able to diagnose an issue I'm having with fucking amazon who has their cart all over the place for a misconfiguration in firefox that either I did or an extension is causing, however I'm unable to figure out which because I can't enable extensions in private windows, where the issue does not happen, so I'm not able to reproduce and isolate the problem. Specifically, this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-private-browsing Plus, I was kinda expecting I could run STG in private too, since it offer such nice and rich grouping and memory management features vanilla FF does not (PS: please take inspiration and bake it inside!!) Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 An update or two (maybe more?) ago, the plus sign with which we add shortcuts to the Firefox browser home page/new tab page disappeared, so now we can no longer add shortcuts on the home page/new tab page.  Please help.  I am running Firefox Version 129.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 11 Pro 64-bit if that makes any difference.  Thanks.

I am running thunderbird version 128.1.0 esr 64 bit. Right now thunderbird opens the email links to google chrome. How do I change thunderbird to open to Microsoft Edge browser?

I have two outgoing SMTP servers. I need one server configured for each mail box. (Email account associated with the SMTP server must match the email account of the sender.)

How do I/Is it possible to configure nine (9) SMTP servers?

Yesterday, I get a screen popup that says" Outlook(formerly Hotmail)" Saying Hotmail will now be Outlook.

I've had Hotmail for maybe 30+ years now? I've always had Firefox open to my inbox, which is Outlook and has been for a year or better.

Since yesterday it will not open up to my inbox. It opens to the MS website showing what I wrote up above and a picture of Outlook.

I've deleted cookies and cache. Also history. Even though I point it to my inbox it just goes to that advertisement. I have the stay signed in box checked and don't show this again. But it does show again and again. I hope there's a way to fix this, pretty sure it not a Firefox issue. Just hoping someone else has had and and found a way around it.

Thanks Daniel B

I just updated to the latest version of Thunderbird after not updating for well over a year now, so I'm late to the "hate on Thunderbird devs" party. The font changes, as I'm sure have been mentioned a million times, is a disaster. I've already wasted several hours on this.

I managed to fix the core font size issue with, which fixed MOST of the problems:

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx = 1.12

However, I can't figure out how to increase the row height of the message area. If I switch from Compact mode to Default, everything in the folder pane gets far too big (and, yes, I reset devPixelsPerPx as a test) and the message area rows are too tall.

In addition, I want a few pixels at the bottom of the message area so that when a new message comes in, I see a few pixels of the top of the new message without having to scroll.

If you are having trouble visualizing what I want:

Per row of each message: 1px padding at the top + 18px main area + 1px padding at the bottom (i.e. 20 px total). After the last row: 3px (or so) to display just enough pixels to show the next message whenever it arrives.

Using the browser toolbox, I see that the height of each row is defined using an inline style. So I can't apply CSS to fix it globally in a custom stylesheet. Using the Inspector, I can temporarily change the inline style of a single row to "height: 20px" and it displays the row as I want it to be displayed. However, this doesn't solve the other problem of putting a few pixels at the end of the messages to display a few pixels of a new message when it arrives. I also tried modifying the selector "table[is="tree-view-table"] & td" to hardcode a 20px height and added a 3px padding to the bottom, which works to solve BOTH problems BUT introduces a bug where switching folders no longer scrolls to the bottom of the list of messages. My guess is that Thunderbird is calculating where to scroll to based on the assumption that the row height is exactly 18px. So using CSS alone is not really possible.

What a mess.

Happy to see thunderbird is doing better and better recent years. I think it is now the time to add an option to allow it automatically startup in the background on system startup, which has been asked for several years. That is a really useful option, why not just implement it?

I think there are 2 ways: 1. Just automatically startup in the background on system startup and receive messages 2. Register a service in the background to receive e-mails and pop up notifications, and in this case, we don't need to add this option

The first solution may be easier to implement, but the second seems better? Anyway, thunderbird should have one of them

BTW, add an option to minimalize when click on 'close' button. I know there's an extension for this, so why not just integrate it :-)

Thanks!

I have installed the LastPass extension for Firefox, more than once, but the LastPass icon does not appear in my browser bar. It used to be there, but disappeared a few weeks ago. I have tried to reinstall the extension, but it has had no effect.

I have used Thunderbird as my preferred mail client for many years. Recent upgrade to Kubuntu 24.04 from 22.04.4 seems to have changed storage options. Thunderbird 128.1.0esr(64bit)

I store my mail on my local server so that I can access it from a number of different computers on the same network. If I set the Local Directory to that network folder it is changed to /run/user/1000/doc/5f5f8977/mail.xxxxxx.com and the mail is imported to my local disk in that folder.

However, when I restart the computer I have to set up the network folder again each time.

I have never had this problem before. How do I set the Local Directory permanently to the network server address? Thanks Bob

Dear Thunderbird.

Few minutes ago I did the update to 128esr Nebula, at first glance, it look pretty great...

But after the installation I found out that Antidote 11 is not compatible with this new version... DO you have an idea if something is in work so it will be compatible pretty soon ?

thanks ... for your great work a benoit

Hi

In Thunderbird version 128, the table view displays the subject line with different font colors based on tags, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-16-08-b0bfa9.png

I’ve seen at Thunderbird's release notes that Thunderbird supports displaying different font colors based on tags in the card view, as shown in the example below.

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-30-07-28-44-d4881a.png

However, in my card view, the subject is displayed in white font, and only the tag label is highlighted, as shown in the example below.

I would like to know if the card view in 128.0.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11 has the capability to display the subject line with different font colors based on tags. If it does, could you please advise on how to configure it?

Hi Everyone! I am missing the delete button on the incoming message that outlook has. I know I can right click delete but I do have to delete a lot of emails . I'd like to add a "delete message" button in the message list the same as Outlook. Is this Possible ?

Thanks for any advice

Hi, I love the new, little weather app/temperature icon in the upper left of the Firefox home page. HOWEVER, I really want to change it to a city closer to me. I looked up how to do it, but the directions seem WRONG. I cannot hover and find any way to change locations. Is it because I'm on a Mac? or ?

Can you help me? I'm using an iMac computer... everything works, it's updated, what could be wrong?

thanks, Kathy P.
