I use a work email server outsourced to office365.com and Thunderbird v115.18.0 (64-bit).

I connect using Thunderbird with IMAP, and am subscribed to 100s of my folders there.

I reorganized my folders there, moving them about using THUNDERBIRD (not, as I've learned now, using the Outlook Web interface that I "should" have used). Needless to say, I was only moving subscribed folders about.

Now I find that the subscriptions to folders which have been moved or even deleted cannot be manipulated. Folders with the same name but now in different hierarchies can't be subscribed to.

I have removed the account, recreated it and Unsubscribed from EVERY FOLDER. But the erroneous subscriptions do not go away.

I have resisted automatic update of Thunderbird using "check but notify me." For whatever reason on 11/27/2025 Thunderbird was updated to 115.10.1 and it was an unsatisfactory change. Two thing immediately got by attention: 1) the menu bar had been changed and all open tabs had been removed. And 2) I could not find anyway to customize views (see the uploaded image). After two days of fighting this change trying to re-enable custom views, I preserved my mail folders then uninstalled Thunderbird 64-bit and restored Thunderbird 32-bit from an image backup of C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird. That of-course required me to set up my profile again and copy the saved mail folders to the new profile directory tree.

I don't like automatic closing of tabs in 115.10.1 and for that alone would not upgrade beyond what I'm now running.

And I can't work without setting up custom views to show messages automatically sent by my UNIX client's nightly backup process. My default view is to "Filter Super User" as all automatic client backup reports come from the root (superuser) account.

The 115.10.1 had some type of filtering named "Quick View" (This is from my memory as I can't consult a running 115.10.1 installation) that is inadequate as it did not offer a way to save the views for later use (that I could find in my frantic state).

I currently have to make two taps and possibly a swipe to bring up the address bar before i can do complex navigation. While I understand the android back button could fulfil this role, but having easy access to dedicated buttons would be great.

Hi Team,

I’m currently conducting a DevOps training session and we are using Firefox to inspect headers for a web app running inside a local Docker container (localhost:8080).

We've noticed that occasionally the 'Network' tab in DevTools fails to show the full response headers for our nginx proxy, even after clearing the cache. It works fine in other browsers, but I prefer using Firefox for our students because of the superior CSS Grid and Flexbox tools.

Is there a specific setting in about:config that might be limiting the capture of headers for local loopback addresses?

Thanks for the help!

So I have two Google accounts, let's call them Antelope and Bear. Antelope is my "main" account, but I use Bear for a lot of things too, which includes Gemini. So, if I want to use the Gemini chatbot option on Firefox's sidebar, it would make the most sense to use it under my Bear account, since that way I can access my previous chats and all that. However, when I open the Gemini chatbot, it automatically logs me in as Antelope. And when I click on the account's profile picture to swap to Bear, it instead opens the Gemini site on a new tab, in which I am indeed logged in as Bear, but the sidebar remains stuck on the Antelope account. I've tried the "reload Gemini" option, restarting Firefox, and clearing the cache, but nothing works. I think I could fix it by logging out of both accounts, then logging in only as Bear, letting the sidebar "grab" that account, and then logging in as Antelope, but I wanted to know if there's an easier/cleaner way to go about it. Thank you in advance.

Is there a reason that settings, such as columns, layout, ordering, folder colours, etc. are not retained in the msf itself?

I have to use multiple machines, so tend to have an archive that I share across them as the primary storage of emails. However, nothing is retained between machines which is a bit annoying when trying to colour code for easy visual cues. So it seems clear that this information is currently stored in the local profile, even though the archive data is a filesystem.

I use Ubuntu on a Dell Laptop and there is a number attached to the Thunderbird desktop icon on the side-bar which is not related to the number of unread messages?? What is this number about?

I've been able to drag emails from my old laptop to subfolders using IMAP. The folders are on the server and with my old laptop, I could drag emails from any account to any folder, regardless of which account it was created under. I started trying to do that with a new laptop and it won't let me drag the email. I have to go through the move > search for folder > select folder process. It's a pain in the butt, especially if I have a lot of emails I want to move. Since I could do it on my old laptop, I'm thinking it's some kind of setting that I have on one that I don't have on the other. I just can't figure out what I did differently on the new laptop that it won't let me drag and drop the emails where I want them.

Under the finish setup heading, when opened the choice to pin Firefox to the task bar has been chosen numerous times. Each choice has been activated but this one doesn't stick. When I open that heading again it displays that choice still open.

As it turns out, my LOCAL FOLDERS is a sub-file in my account. I have a whole bunch of sub-files within the LOCAL FOLDERS sub-file. When I right click on that file, it does not give me the option to reorganize (re-alphabetize) that sub-file. In other words, I want to reorganize the sub-files of a sub-file. Is this just not an option, or is there a way to do this?

I haven't been able to find a keyboard shortcut for switching between FF windows. I'm using MacOS Tahoe. Is this in development, or is it there and I just haven't been able to find it.
