Hi all!

I am a long time user of Thunderbird, currently using 52.9.1 on Linux Mint 18 (Application Build ID 20180710085647). Last "Crash Reports" were at the end of April (3 which I don't recall being a problem...).

Recently started seeing, in the message window (classic layout) ads asking me about my age & sex, or ads from realtor.com. So I restarted with all add-ons disabled (safe mode) and to my surprise the ads were still present (several restarts with add-ons disabled).

I updated clamav and ran it and found no problems.

Not really sure what else to do.....?

Thank you

I guess that must have been it.... Maybe the add-on thunderbrowse messed with the homepage url, and the ad.... I don't know. Guess I don't really need the add-on anyway.

Thank you, Brett

You might check what is listed for the url in the Start page field.

In Windows it is under Options-General Start Page.

For Linux in may be Edit- Preferences instead of Options.

This page lists the menu differences between operating systems so refer to that. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows%2C_Linux%2C_and_Mac

Hhhmmmm... thank you. I checked, and the start page url is:

http://start.thunderbrowse.com/

and if I click on the ad the only link I can find is a null:

javascript:void(0);

Just checked:

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/q?domain=start.thunderbrowse.com

and it tells me it is "up" and it is just me (apparently).

This is the default Thunderbird start url for my locale and operating system. https://live.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird/start?locale=en-US&version=52.9.1&os=WINNT&buildid=20180709124824

Not sure what it is for Linux. This page touches on the url some. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Start_Page_for_mail
