Running TB 91.7.0 on Win10 Home Dell laptop. Between the wife and I, we have several IMAP email accounts on our separate computers. The laptop is mine and it is the one that we take when travelling, so it has ALL of the email accounts setup in Thunderbird. When the accounts were POP, I could configure her accounts to not normally download on the laptop except on demand. Is there a way to setup the IMAP accounts so that only my accounts download based on the timeframe settings on the Server Settings tab and that the wife's accounts would only be downloaded/synced when Get All New Messages is clicked? Or any other way would be fine also, I'm not too picky, just don't need to see her emails when not travelling. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The thread pane for ONE sub-folder is all white, including the column headers. All the other folders and sub folders, including the inbox, display correctly in the thread pane, displaying black text on a white background. I can click on each message and the message displays in the preview pane below correctly. The folder pane itself is fine.

I'm running TB 91.7.0 on Windows 10 21H2.

I have tried Safe mode (troubleshooting mode) include resetting headers and controls - same issue. I have attached a screen shot of what that one folder looks like.

Any suggestions on how to get this one sub-folder to display correctly?

Thank you.

FF 98.0.2 - just updated. Top five lines of FF are TINY - using the ZOOM function only enlarges the body of the webpage, not the top five lines, FF logo, menu bar,’ Bookmarks Toolbar, etc. All previous suggestions have been to use Zoom control or to adjust size in about:config. That is ignoring the problem. Some answers claim the problem is in system settings. However, this is a brand new out of the box computer, when I use the Microsoft Edge installed on it, the corresponding lines of that browser are functional, not microscopic, so I KNOW MOZILLA CAN DO BETTER. PLEASE DO!!! I'm not the only person going blind and crazy trying to read the top five lines and getting bad suggestions (though thank you all for trying.) I have another computer running FF 93.0 and I'm not updating that one until the latest version is fixed. Please see two pix taken at 240% zoom, both screen resolutions the same, 1366x768. It is clearly seen that the test on ver 93.0 is larger than on 98.0.2. And just for giggles, a shot of MS Edge...look at the size of the top lines. (I've done a ton of troubleshooting in my career. Something's not right.)

Since Dorando keyconfig :: Add-ons for Thunderbird does not work anymore I could not find a away to change the shortcut for "Paste as quotation" from the default "Ctrl + Shift + O" to "Ctrl+Shift+V". (For more shotcuts see Keyboard shortcuts - perform common Thunderbird tasks quickly). tbkeys-lite has been recommended as alternative (also on Mozilla Support: How to turn off or change the keyboard shortcuts. But the above mentioned link can not be changed to the obvious and in other email clients used Ctrl+Shift+V with TBkeys as mentioned on the github-page: Defining a key sequence (meaning multiple keys in succession) where the first key combination in the sequence is the same as a built-in shortcut (like ctrl+j ctrl+k) is not supported. Can anybody help me solve this dilemma? This would be great as I use the command many times a day.

Recently (probably after an update) Firefox starts showing my list of downloads automatically and unwanted after each download. So I want to download a few MP3's from a website. I click on one, select the download option, and when it is done downloading a drop down display comes down from the Menu bar showing my last downloads. Obviously, as I download more, this list gets longer. I know I can make the list disappear by clicking anywhere on the screen, but it is an extra click to get rid of a feature I don't want. How do I turn that off?

Hello. I noticed that Firefox (98.0.2) doesn't even ask if the file should be saved or opened with a program when downloading some file types. Unfortunately, these file types (e.g. GPX) are not listed under Settings --> General --> Files and Applications, so that I could assign them to a program or specify that they should always be asked. And I can't add these files somehow... I have also deleted the file "handler.json" in the profile folder, hoping to be asked then. But that doesn't happen. GPX files, for example, are assigned to the GSAK program in the system - but Firefox just wants to save them and doesn't offer the option to open them directly in GSAK. Does anyone know advice how I can get Firefox to give me the choice? Thanks a lot.

Just now, I tried to use "Email Link..." under the File Menu and got a pop-up asking me to "Choose an application to open the mailto link." I have seen this before, several times, usually after updating Firefox, IIRC.

This time, however, Gmail is not presented as an option, in this pop-up. Clicking "Choose..." just opens up a Windows Explorer file-picker window.

I tried to fix this in Tools > Settings, under General > Applications. There, "mailto" just shows "Use other..." and if I click that, the "Select Helper Application" pop-up window is basically blank, with a message at the bottom saying "No applications were found for this file type."

See attached images.

I am running v98.0.2 on Win 10 Pro.

I have been using the same custom theme for the past 3 years or so on both my windows 10 pro and dual boot Ubuntu 20.04. Recently, my windows 10 pro firefox started going into dark mode all of a sudden without me changing ANYTHING. The system theme and everything else stays the same. Then about 5 days later, my Ubuntu 20.04 firefox started to inherit this stupid dark mode as well. I have tried _ setting ui.systemUsesDarkTheme to 0 (number value) in about:config _ Changing to other custom color themes, and they all went into dark mode. _ Refresh Firefox _ Reinstall Firefox

When I went into "Ads on & theme" tabs, changing to system theme, it picks up the white theme mode. But Youtube webpage system theme mode pick up the dark theme mode.

After a forced update, firefox stopped giving the popup that lets you choose what to do with the file.

A temporary fix is to go into options and set "Always ask you where to save files", however this is clunky, and much much slower, so is there any way to get this popup back?

If not, then i will have to migrate to a different browser for safety, since this new "Feature" can be easily abused by hackers and malicious websites.
