I am using Thunderbird Beta 130.0b1 64-bit on Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22631. I have a KVM attached. My basic setup is, when the main PC (my home PC with the above specs) is connected to the KVM, I get my main monitor in the center screen with a secondary monitor on the left. When I switch the KVM, my center monitor shows the macbook on the right side (work monitor). When I switch back to the Windows 11 computer, everything goes back to the previous position except Thunderbird.

Here is something I've tried so far that seems to fix it, but it is odd that no other applications have this problem. If I make the secondary monitor on the left my primary monitor, and dock thunderbird on the left half of that monitor, when I switch the KVM to the macbook and back again, it seems to remember correctly where Thunderbird belongs (along with every other app). But if I go back to having the large center monitor the primary display, and switch the KVM away and back, everything goes back to where it was except Thunderbird for some reason.

I tried to run the system with the left monitor as the primary for a while and I use keyboard shortcuts too often which end up popping up items over on the side monitor all of the time which is more irritating. So I am wondering if there is something built into Thunderbird that specifically conflicts with remembering it's position when the KVM switches back.

It seems that the real problem is the fact that the center monitor is not only disappearing, but that the center monitor is switching between being the primary monitor and then suddenly being unavailable. Like Windows 11 is trying, only in the case of thunderbird, to remember it's last position relative to the primary monitor as opposed to its position relative to the last time the computer ran in a specific monitor configuration.

Thoughts? Should I report this to Microsoft maybe? Since this only happens with Thunderbird, is it something built into Thunderbird?

The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes> Mail server pop.gmail.com responded:[Auth] invalid credentials. This is the message I am receiving after removing all Thunderbird (because stopped working) and downloaded new installation. I have been trying to get Thunderbird to work for the past week and have tried everything i can think of. Thunderbird help is appallingly bad!

Hi Whichever selection I make on pdf files in your Settings your system always saves the file unnecessarily even if I am just 'viewing in Firefox' so I end up with loads of files usually on my Desktop which I don't want and I have to go through them all later and delete them

Surely there should be a 'Just view only' setting for pdf files. If I want to save them after I've read the contents then fine I can manually do this but your default setting when you view pdf files in Firefox of saving every single file automatically is insane. Much of the time when you're doing research, you just want to view the pdf file and when you close it you want it to be gone. I appreciate I can save them to another destination apart from my Desktop but wherever I save them I'm going to end up with hundreds of useless pdf files that I only needed temporarily when I was viewing the contents-I don't need them saved automatically.

Can you please address this by giving a 'Just view only' setting? Thank you Michael

(I'm not sure where one can put feature requests, if this is the wrong place, tell me where else to put it.)

So, here is the thing. There is the Downloads History, displaying all downloads done in the past. This list has several features so far. Among them are:

• delete a file
• remove from history
• clear history

Hitting one of these by accident is very easy. This is a massive oversight. Things that can happen:

• You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit deleting them.
• You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit Clear History, which can especially result removing failed downloads from the past that you might want to retry.
• You hit Clear History, expecting it to spare failed downloads intuitively. As it is, I will *never* use it, since I obviously want to retry failed downloads.

Therefore, I propose several feature requests:

1. For history deletion/restoration, I propose an undo option. Certainly, the history does not take up much space. My specific recommendation is that history up to one week is logged. It can be deleted completely where the cache is also emptied, and old entries in the backup are removed automatically when the corresponding file is updated (something gets added or removed from history).
2. For file deletion/restoration, I simply propose that the files are moved to the trash of the system, instead of being directly deleted. I am not sure why this is not already the case. Should be quite easy to implement as well.
3. For Clear History, additionally to point 1, I propose that the user is prompted with "are you sure? Yes/No". Also, Clear History ignores failed downloads. Like that, it actually becomes useful. And again, this should be trivial to implement. I'd also be quite fine if this is made an option one can choose in the settings.

Note that I have seen replies to people with these or related problems that went like "you can go to the profile folder and search for this and that SQL file and..." - no. The points I wrote should be something that a casual user would want to have available, and going into technical folders is anything but user friendly. It should be doable with easy straightforward widgets within the browser.

I have just received an email that contains the email addresses for all members of an organization I belong to in the to address. Is there an easy way to get all of these addresses copied to a mailing list in my address book?

Hey Folks. I have a couple of questions about email threading. I did try to search this before I posted

1) I have such long email chains that when threaded, the email at the bottom (new email) gets hidden behind the next column. I would like to change the order so that

• A)new emails go to the top of the inbox list (or the whole chain does)
• B) inside the thread, the new email is at the top of the list, so that the old emails are pushed under the next column instead.

I tried changing some of the "mailnews...." settings from 1 to 2 and 18 to 21, but they didnt really have the effect I thought they would.

Also, Im not sure why, but sometimes a member will reply to the thread, change the subject line, and send a new email. So the new email has remnants of the old thread, but a different subject. For some reason, these emails are placed in the original chain, however indented more to the left, instead of being placed in a a new chain. Is there a way to change this so that a new subject has its own chain?

Thanks for your help

Hello! When entering some (in tis case financial: https://www.nordnet.se/se) sites the time shown are exactly 2hours behind the system time. If system time is 11:15 (correct time zone in Sweden) the time shown on the site is 09:15. This is probably something that has to do with an update of Firefox. I have automatic update to Firefox but the problem has been there for some months although I have not been able to recognice it until the recent week. I have tried a "clean" new install of Firefox to a new directory with no import of bookmarks or anything but the problem is exactly the same. For your information I have tried a clean install of Duckduckgo browser which do not suffer this problem. But I want to keep with Firefox which I have used since at least 15years. I guess there is a "timestamp" or samething that have gone wrong, but should be easy to correct if you just know where to look. Best regards /Gunnar

Since the update of Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) it freezes every couple minutes on a profile with 3 email accounts. One - no longer used - has about 2300 emails and is kept to access old emails.

The second is my primary Gmail account with 4351 emails in Inbox and 2234 in Outbox. Inbox shows 1.2 gb and Outbox 911 mb. The freezing has caused very significant challenges with reading and sending emails due to the freezing. As it is my primary email it is extremely concerning. And I am in the middle of a couple huge projects so I am getting a lot of emails.

The third is minimal with 26 emails.

I know it is not the number of accounts in the profile as I have 4 other profiles with more accounts and none of them freeze at all. (I manage/monitor other websites and keep them all separate.)

Also as others have noted the Filter function is doing weird stuff and rarely works properly anymore.

I have been trying to use this service for some time. Everytime I try to sigh in for some reason I am blocked. It just sits there. This service workes fine on all other drowsers, but not Firefox. PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE ME A FIX .
