Restore titlebar on Thunderbird without menus in the titlebar

I have Thunderbird 78.5.0. I'd like to get back my titlebar and display the menus under it. When the Thunderbird window is behind another window and I just want to select it, I hit some menu item. Super irritating. I'm happy for all the developers who like this, but let us have a way to restore it to the way we like it. I have done that in Firefox setting browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar to false. I need something similar in Thunderbird.

Thanks

re: get back my titlebar

  • Menu app icon > Options
  • Select 'General'

Then either:

  • scroll to very bottom and click on 'Config Editor' button

Or :

  • use search to locate 'Config Editor' button - see image below


  • accept warning
  • In search type: intitle
  • Look for: mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar
  • double click on that line to toggle the value from 'True' to 'False'
  • close 'about config' window - top right X

re :display the menus under Titlebar

I presume you mean the 'Menu Bar' toolbar that contains 'File. Edit' etc

  • Menu app icon (3 lines) > Customise > select 'Menu Bar'

Thanks Toad-Hall. Config Editor was the thing I was missing.
