Activity Monitor
Hello Mozilla Support, today I discovered a Thunderbird feature called 'Activity Monitor'. As I'm sure this is an excellent tool for others, for me, it is not. How can I deactivate this feature? I do realize that someone has always asked this question, but the answer was in my view inappropriate. It should be a user preference to have this feature popping up with a list of all my activities at any given time. According to the answer that was given another person who asked this question, the feature is buggy because it popped up on it's own without ever being selected by me from tools. If it hadn't, I would never have known such a feature exists within Thunderbird.
Thank you, in advance.

Activity manager is an integral part of the application. it can not be turned off. Now before you reply, I do not care what you think it inappropriate or appropriate. Activity manager stays on. TRhis is not a feature debate list, it is support.

As for what might have opened the pane, I have no idea, but a dodgy addon would be the first place I would look as they have access to the application menus and internal functions. So a miscoded action for the menu could well see it "just appear"
But as it has apparently only appeared once offering diagnostics like using troubleshoot mode to see if it stops it really does not sound workable.
If you accidentally depressed the 'Alt' key even if you did with the heel of your hand and at same time pressed 'T' followed by 'V' then Activity Manager would pop open.
