I want to open TB to the inbox page, not the settings page. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to set this in the 91.1 version.

TB will open in the folder that was open at last closing. If it doesn't, delete session.json from the profile folder, with TB closed.

To set a specific folder that opens, independent of the closing state, there is an add-on:

It does not open to the last open folder, which would be inbox. It always opens with preferences. Close preferences and then it goes to trash folder. Then I have to choose instead inbox, and once opened, then have to click get messages. I used to be able to see inbox immediately with it automatically getting new messages.
