Merry Christmas 4 days Early!

I would like to stop the continual suggestion to update my password at login, yet be able to use the saved password at login.

Would you please add this fix?

New FF version colors the active tab and page to an ugly and very annoying yellow. How do I turn that OFF? It's neither pleasing nor necessary, and I, for one, hate it.

In Firefox you can enable the option "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" (vs. cycling in normal order 1-2-3-4-1...).

Is there a way - maybe about:config or an extension - to enable this for Thunderbird, too? I could not find a solution searching the extensions or the web.

I have always like 5, 6 tabs open containing mails or opened PDF attachments and would like to "jump" between two tabs easily.

PS Or maybe a feature request for this to follow?

I have been a Thunderbird user for several years.

Please let me know how I can have 2 different versions of Thunderbird on same PC (Windows-10) ? Each version using different email accounts. What are the steps, and configuration I would need to do to accomplish this ?

My Objective: The slightly older (stable) version will be for my normal important email. The 2nd newer version will be like my test version which I will use for checking/testing upgrades to a new version. Once I have used/tested the new version on a test email account, then will upgrade the normal version. And the process will repeat.

Thank you.

I recall turning off this garbage at some point. Now it's hardwired without a way to turn it off in Search settings!!

Is there anything I can do to turn it off?

Hi! I finally decided to switch to Firefox :) So far it's great, yet there are a few things that are different from Chrome (that I've used for more than 10 years). Some of the things I found already, but there are others that are obscure, and I would appreciate your help in finding them!

1. When typing something in the search bar and clicking the middle mouse button to open it in a new tab, it auto switches to that tab. I found settings for auto-switching from bookmarks and a few other places, but this one still eludes me.

2. Reopen closed tab. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not open the last tab that I've closed (only some random one?). I have no idea how it should work, but on Chrome it just opens the last closed tab. Is it possible to change this behavior to work the same way?

3. I have multiple monitors (probably like most people nowadays). When I want to move a tab to another monitor, so it makes a new window it's super weird. Sometimes when I move it over another programs window it just doesn't work, sometimes if I move too quickly it also doesn't work. Any way to fix this?

Other than that I've enjoyed my stay so far :)

Hi,

It hard to explain what I mean so I recorded video, link is below. I want Firefox to behaves the same as Chrome. So as you can see, when I use address field for quick search then pop-up appears with search results. And I click on these search results with middle mouse button. But on Chrome it works normally and on Firefox not. I am redirected to just opened tab what is really annoying. I must go back, input the same if I want open several result. How to change this behaviour to achieve the same what I have in Chrome?

Chrome Firefox Serach Behaviour

Also it’s exactly the same when it comes to bookmarked pages in a folder on the bookmark bar. When we click folder with bookmarks we have dropdown menu with bookmarked web pages from this folder. And when I click something with middle mouse button then page opens in new tab but this dropdown menu disappears, and again I must click folder when I want open more sites. In chrome it doesn’t. How to set it the same for this?

Hi Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I am using Thunderbird for my email program I have it pinned to the taskbar at the bottom of my computer screen. I was wondering if there is a way that when I have the mail screen open and I open another screen like Settings, or Account Settings, if they can be shown separately on the task bar, and not combing so only the tab I have open is showing. That way I can flip between each one a lot easier than clicking on the one showing and then having to select the next tab in the actual program itself. Thanks Marc

Is there a way to make it easier to see when someone awnsered on an earlier replied mail? Some setting that the incoming mail on the earlier replied mail is on top or bold? Just like the normal incoming mails?

My Thunderbird emails are fine directly on my laptop, but when I attach an external monitor everything becomes to pixelated I cannot easily read my email If I restart Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode with no addons or themes, it gets much better, but I use the add ons!

Firefox is not asking where save downloaded files. I have the checkbox checked which indicates it should ask every time. I also followed some instructions on here about going to the about:config page and changing a setting to false, but that didn't do anything.

I use Thunderbird in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor. I keep overlooking attachments because the tiny paperclip and the tiny link to the attachment at the bottom of the screen are too easy to miss. A more obvious visual cue is needed. Perhaps display the paperclip in a contrasting color and move the attachment link to just below the message header instead of putting it at the very bottom of the screen so far from the message body? Up to now this was just an inconvenience, but today it actually cost me $50 because of an attached notice I missed even though I had read the email several times.

Hi

What is this "app.update.background.rolled out" setting?

 /**
  * Background Update is controlled by the per-installation pref
  * "app.update.background.enabled". When Background Update was still in the
  * experimental phase, the default value of this pref may have been changed.
  * Now that the feature has been rolled out, we need to make sure that the
  * desired default value is restored.
  */
 async ensureExperimentToRolloutTransitionPerformed() {
   if (!lazy.UpdateUtils.PER_INSTALLATION_PREFS_SUPPORTED) {
     return;
   }
   const transitionPerformedPref = "app.update.background.rolledout";
   if (Services.prefs.getBoolPref(transitionPerformedPref, false)) {
     // writeUpdateConfigSetting serializes access to the config file. Because
     // of this, we can safely return here without worrying about another call
     // to this function that might still be in progress.
     return;
   }
   Services.prefs.setBoolPref(transitionPerformedPref, true);

I have to reset my setting every time I start Thunderbird. The setting that seems to be systematically lost is the "mark messages as read on display." Incoming messages are not always in boldface so I don't realize I have new messages!! How can I fix these things. I am using a PC with Windows 10.

Recently (I am not sure what update started this) I started noticing "chevrons" in one particular folder under my inbox. How do I turn this unfeature off and get all emails as a new entry instead of the "chevron" method of hiding replies. This is very annoying and we need a way to turn this BAD idea off!

Formerly I could decide the window size for the number of minimum visible received emails in the list down to 3. But for any reason the minimum now is 10. Which does that the space for text content is reduced a lot. How can I get back the former possibility?

Can you set up an email address to receive only/block sending from it? I have two addresses defined in Thunderbird and if I don't check, it occasionally picks up the one I don't want to send from.
