Message window Mail Toolbar customize buttons
In Supernova (v115) on Windows 11, when I view a message by double-clicking it to open it in a new window, I can set the Mail Toolbar to visible, then right click on it and select Customize. In previous versions I would put large icon/text button up there for Reply, Reply All, Forward, Print, and Delete. Those buttons don't appear to be available in Supernova for this toolbar.
Some of them appear to be in a fixed area as buttons with text beside the icon, and this area does not appear to have any customization available. For example, I don't use the Junk and Archive buttons, so if this "button area" must remain visible in this position, I'd like to be able to customize which of these buttons are visible.
My real preference would be to not have these buttons appear where they are now (to the right of the FROM: info), but instead to be able to have them in the Mail Toolbar at the top of the window as I could in the past. See attached screenshot for clarification of the Mail Toolbar->Customize window that doesn't currently allow for Reply, Reply All, Forward, Print and Delete to be added to the top Mail Toolbar.

There is an add-on for customizing the Header Pane buttons, but it's currently for TB 102. If messages are opened in the Message Pane or in tabs, the Reply etc. buttons can seen if they are added to the toolbar that has the Search box.
There is also a way to hide all or individual header buttons with a userChrome.css file.
Thanks. That's unfortunately a different issue that I'll need to deal with. Each time there's a major release, most of my add-ons are disabled and I have to wait to see if their author(s) are going to update them or if I should go back to the old version of TB until they're available. I love the software and have many years worth of incoming and outgoing messages saved, so it's a great repository of information when supporting my customers. Unfortunately, that also means it's harder to switch to an app that may have some of the missing features that I currently use add-ons for.
This strange part is that the availability of these buttons as selections in the Customize window actually existed previously, so I'm not sure why they were removed from there. I can't see the downside to allowing the Reply, Forward, Print, and Delete buttons to be available in Customize selection window for the message window toolbar, so their removal -- and now hard-coding of their new location -- is confusing to me.
The update to 115 can only be done by manual means, as the automatic update won't be enabled for the entire user base for some time, perhaps months. Until then, it's probably wise to run 102 and 115 on separate profiles to see which features or add-ons are missing from the new version. It's expected (hoped?) that by the time autoupdates are allowed, many more add-ons will be available, and perhaps additional built-in options that existed before will reappear. But experience with past releases shows one can't assume that progress in all aspects is guaranteed.
Yeah, I wanted to take a look at it, but will probably just use 102 until I can verify that the extensions are further along.
I still hope ultimately that the message window toolbar can be updated in the future to have the same options it previously had natively in the application.
Hi swbrains
Thanks for the feedback!
I will pass it onto the team; you can also always suggest new features at Mozilla Connect: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas
Don't know what the details are but the team is definitely looking at enabling more customization of the toolbar in the Message Composer in a future release.
Cheers! ...Roland
