Apologies for not being able to follow instructions. I went to settings/search/default search engine and selected the one I want in the dropdown. But I don't see how to save this change and now it defaults to Bing.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Did not seem to be an obvious one for my question.

I go tired of the Outlook web client always trying to us AI to assist me. Installed Thunderbird ver 128.6.1 esr on a Ubuntu 24.04 system running Cinnamon desktop. All components are up-to-date (or should be as auto-update is on). System details at end of message.

Screens for mail and tasks are rock solid. The calendar jitters up and down rapidly small amounts. Not the entire page. Just the part where the calendar is displayed. Makes things a tad blurry and is tiring to look at.

Any ideas on how to resolve?

TIA

Hi All, no matter what I try, seems for my POP3 accounts I am unable to see all my folders. I am unable to find a way to a way to configure the account as IMAP. Seems there is manual override to set up account as IMAP?

In Outlook, this all works well these accounts are setup as IMAP.

Firefox Android on an older Sony Xperia Android Tab (2016) still receiving Firefox updates, would you believe it, cannot access about:config page -- and yes it's about:config I'm attempting to access. Firefox adress bar icon displays site warning and freezes the page load whatever setting i try in Firefox settings.

No antimalware or such nonsense used on the device, just as fake in protecting my privacy as (foreign) gov.-sponsored whitelabel antimalware and privacy search engines -- remembering the recent Bing API-blackout that displayed a Bing search engine error message in all of the so called's etc etc

I'm not logged in on the device, as in not syncing an access all home living room device in any way. I don't need a breadcrum trail of other users leading to my accounts.

So what am I after? I don't want a stored cache of recently visited pages that apparently hog the limited memory and I want to limit the amount of 'recently visited pages'-cache stored in Firefox on Android. I want Firefox to be *pristine (beyond the moniker settings available as 'clear all' at Firefox close) each time a user picks up the tab. So, there's one or two settings under about:config limiting the recently visited pages cache to the latest visited only after closing Firefox -- lowest setting available (?) is 0, but hey, that's life.

Hi all,

I tried to change the appearance of thunderbird using a userChrome.css file.

• I am sure it is located in the correct profile folder and has the correct name userChrome.css
• The userChrome.css file is also visible in the style editor of the development tools and displays the correct contents if I edit the file.
• I am sure that the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is set to true
• I restarted tb millions of times

The contents of my userChrome.css file are currently (but I also played with different content):

/* Change background color for read messages */ treechildren::-moz-tree-row(read) {

   background-color: #f1f715 !important;  
   color: #6564cf !important; 

}

In the style editor, if i try to change the color code in one of the lines, it gives the following error messages:

Error while calling actor 'stylesheets's method 'update' document is null Actor.js:103:13

   writeError resource://devtools/shared/protocol/Actor.js:103
   handler resource://devtools/shared/protocol/Actor.js:242

InvisibleToDebugger: TypeError { } Actor.js:110:15

   writeError resource://devtools/shared/protocol/Actor.js:110
   handler resource://devtools/shared/protocol/Actor.js:242

I am running thunderbird 128.3.1esr (64-bit) on mac sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93)

Does anybody know how to get the style sheet running?

Thanks, ulrike

Hi. I have Thunderbird installed on my Galaxy S25 phone and Galaxy Tab S8 tablet. If I send an email from either of those 2 devices 2 copies of the same message appear in the 'Sent Items' folder. Two messages also appear in the 'Sent Items' folder of Outlook on my PC. If I send a message from Outlook on my PC only 1 message appears (as it should do). Is there something that can be done to correct this so that the message only appears once? Kind regards, Paul Goddard

I have imap-email accounts with too many folders I have created. I wanted to reduce the folders' amount and move mails between folders. crtl-a selects all mail in a folder, then with the right click menu of the mouse copy or move etc. It just does not do that. Only a small amount of mails is transferred. Same with grab and move to the folder. I then tried to move the mails to a local folder, delete them and move them from the local folder to the destination. Same problem. They would not move to the local folder. Is there any configuration limiting the intended moves?

Hello. In the past two days I lose my tabs when I shut down Firefox. I used to be fine using the X at the top right and when I restarted the browser, all my tabs would still be there. Then they started going missing, so I started using the menu option to exit the browser. The tabs still went missing.

Then I noticed the square icon button on the extreme left and have discovered that Firefox has different windows, and that one of them (see attached image) has all my tabs in it, while the current window does not.

I cannot change Window 2 to be the current window. There is no obvious function on the page, nothing in settings and google is useless - I just get pages of discussion of how to tab between different apps on the desktop.

How do I make Window 2 the current window? See image.

Thank you

Okay - was trying to find a way to reduce clutter in the menus (typically done by removing unused buttons); so I saw an option to edit the menu bar that appeared above my message window. Instead of editing the items in the bar, it closed the controls completely and as far as I can tell permanently. I can't find anything in settings related to this once-upon-a-time feature. And the button I was trying to remove is still there.

As to what to call this control - no clue; it is the "filer" row of buttons above messages - and was a control or two to the right of the buttons [Unread] [Starred] [Contact] ... . It was a funny icon, and another funny icon that hinted they allowed editing the items on the bar -- one option was a toggle to hide/unhide the bar, the second option had a few more choices if I recall right, but clicking it hid the entire hide/unhide and second control.

How do I get those back without a full system "restore settings to default" which essentially nukes my install.

See image for location of now missing controls.

I've never had sponsored shortcuts and suddenly today I've got them. I've attempted the disable the "sponsored shortcuts" on my desktop however its greyed out.

Starting state - Shortcuts selected, sponsored selected and grey Procedure: 1.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan 2.) Click sponsored, it becomes grey again 3.) Deselect shortcuts, select shortcuts, sponsored becomes cyan (again) 4.) Click sponsored, it appears deselected 5.) Hit refresh and it returns to starting state

I do not edit my GPO or registry, settings are not controlled by an organization, I am not confusing sponsored shortcuts with pinned search engines.

My wife's computer has problems printing from Thunderbird. Trying to print produces a message that says, "Your printer has experienced an unexpected configuration problem. 0x800706ba".

I thought the problem was related to her old printer, a Brother black-and-white laser printer, so I bought a new Epson ET-2800 series color printer, but the same message appears.

I have found a workaround. If I go to Settings in Thunderbird, clear the cache, and restart the computer, it will print on the next try, but later the same error message will appear on attempts to print. I have selected the "Clear cache at shutdown" option in Settings, but that doesn't help. The cache still has to be cleared manually.

I can print a test page with no problem, and I can print from other applications, so I assume that the difficulty is related to something in Thunderbird.

I might add that I use Thunderbird on my computer. Fortunately that problem has not arisen on it.

Suggestions for solving this problem will be appreciated.

I just updated Firefox to version 135.0 on my mobile and now I get this really annoying thing:

Everytime I open a tab to go on the YouTube website, it asks me if I want to leave Firefox and use the YouTube app. Every single time. And it even launched it once without asking me.

I don't want to use the YouTube app, how can I make this stop?

Have a good day!

Hi, I want to disable the "Thought-provoking stories" shortcuts from the home / new tab page on Android.

Following the other forum posts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hide-pocket-recommendations-firefox there should be a switch for "Thought-provoking stories" under Settings - Homepage - Shortcuts, but I don't see it. What can I do? Thank you for your help.

130.0 (Build #2016041319), hg-b73ccdf1f861+ GV: 130.0-20240829075237 AS: 130.0

Is the filter log file accessible directly anywhere? It'd be useful to use a text editor app in order to use a different font, reverse the display order and use text search tools etc. Sure I could copy/paste into a text editor each time but that's a bit laborious each time the log changes.

I have loved FF desktop browser since I started using it per my boss in 2003. But I am so tired of the fact that EVERY SINGLE TIME you put out an update it breaks my access to the bank. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I waste HOURS reading articles, calling the bank IT dept, chatting with people who are on 3 calls at once, only to hear them tell me to "just use chrome." I clear the cookies, clear the cache, reboot, follow all the prompts in the settings and THEN the damned bank server doesn't recognize the device so it forces yet ANOTHER password change. It happened again TODAY and it makes me so sad but I cannot do it anymore. I am STILL now (going on 4 hours) trying to access the billpay page @ Xantanderbank. (ahem, secure codename) I am forced now, by this craziness, to use the imbecilic duckduckgo which is A) and offensive name and b) you KNOW it nowhere near the product you have built but I CANNOT DO THIS ANYMORE. Thank you for the time it takes to read this diatribe. I appreciate it.
