Complaint about new Thunderbird and this forum.
This isn't a question, it's a complaint. The other day a new version of Thunderbird was downloaded to my machine; it looked different and acted different in at least one unhelpful way. I spent an hour trying to get help from the forum to no avail. I wanted to change the settings so that Thunderbird would not automatically open the next email upon my deletion of an email. Previous versions have done that also, but the Help mechanism told the user how to correct that annoyance, so I'm sure that changing a setting will do so. I searched the forum; one answer to the question said "Solved", but when I clicked on everything in sight, the promised solution did not appear. Super frustrating (which will no doubt affect my yearly Mozilla contribution).

After searching my files I found that one needs to load the AddOn Deselect On Delete in order to prevent Thunderbird from automatically opening the next email after an email is deleted. Then, after querying the Add On Manger it informs that that Add On is incompatible with the latest Thunderbird release. The Thunderbird release notes confirm this but offer no suggestions on resurrecting the very nice Deselect On Delete feature.

If you are giving to Mozilla you are not contributing to Thunderbird. Good you know who produces your software.
Interesting. When I'm in Thunderbird and click on Support I get a page identifying itself as Mozilla. Also when I'm in Thunderbird and I click on Help, "About Mozilla Thunderbird" displays. So if you're trying to confuse me, you've succeeded. As I find most of your opinions at odds with my experience, I probably won't respond to any more of your posts.Matt said

The connection between Thunderbird and Mozilla is outlined in this post:

Yet your evidence is not proof that it is indeed still a Mozilla product.
The Thunderbird community forum used to be at http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging for years until it was retired and moved to here on Feb 21, 2014 as Mozila provided space on forum and KB for that. Otherwise the other option for Tb users was (and still is) at the independent mozillaZine forums.
