How can I undo the new "Return/Enter in composer will now insert a new paragraph by default (shift-Enter will insert a line break)" back to the traditional one?

The new feature "Return/Enter in composer will now insert a new paragraph by default (shift-Enter will insert a line break)" is most annoying, similar to WORD, which is equally annoying. I like one click of the "return" key to give me one line and two clicks to give me two lines. How can I set the default back to the way it used to be. All change is not progress. Thanks.

Is this a question about Thunderbird?

If that is the case then we can move the question over to Thunderbird support.

Sorry, it was mean for Thunderbird. If you can move it over, that would be great, thanks.
