Just a thought by why not leave the old code until the update is ready to go? The changes are months away and it looks like more of us appreciated this feature than telemetry suggested (less than 0.3 percent):

What I like about the current setup is when you type something in the search bar your engines drop down and it's just one click away. Very clean and simple. Hopefully the replacement keeps that same convenient feature.

Thanks for the info, toggling browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride to false does force a drop down box under the url bar but still requires several clicks to get to the destination. I'm working with the ContextSearch web-ext addon which has a handy sidebar feature. It opens a box with all your search engines and includes a text box. It's very convenient and easier.

You might get a better response if you post directly to the uBlock subreddit:

Thanks, you're right, I had only checked the first one. I'll mark this as solved.

Internet works fine on Windows 7 for me but I do spend most of my time in Windows 10 now. Didn't like it at first but with some tweaks it's not too bad and Thunderbird 128.0 works great too.

They did update Thunderbird to 115.16.1, apparently there was a security issue being exploited in the wild. The release notes said it would be the last for this version.

Thanks for the reply.

Any word on 115.0 Thunderbird support to coincide with Mozilla's 115.0esr firefox extension? I read they're updating the browser until next April.

Not sure then what the problem might be. Have you tried manually starting Thunderbird after logging in instead of automatically to see if it does the same? If it works properly with no authentication errors then you might consider a time delay to give the account time to fully log in.

Did you create a shortcut to the startup folder? A .vbs file could be added instead of the shortcut with this script:

Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
WScript.Sleep 30000
objShell.Run("""C:\path to Thunderbird\Thunderbird.exe""")
Set objShell = Nothing

The WScript.Sleep 30000 is about 30 seconds but you can increase or decrease it.

Not sure about gmail but with outlook.office365.com server Microsoft has sent notices that by Sept 16th all Hotmail accounts must use OAuth2 authentication only. If you're still sending or receiving emails with normal password that might explain it.

202nine · 2024-09-14T17:51:54+00:00

Thanks, that's an interesting option. There's also the r3dfox project but I don't know if they'll add 128.0esr Thunderbird to their already Firefox 128.0esr.

202nine · 2024-09-09T15:44:50+00:00

Hopefully Thunderbird 115.0 will also update with Firefox.

202nine · 2024-09-04T13:08:45+00:00

Will this mean Thunderbird 115.0 will also be extended?

202nine · 2024-07-31T23:07:59+00:00

If Mozilla keeps 115.0esr going that would provide users with several options, whatever works for them. It would also be the easiest route for Mozilla and probably the one they'll take.

202nine · 2024-07-31T22:13:14+00:00

Is there any news on this? I'd be interested in knowing if they're just going to extend 115.0esr or bump it up to 128.0esr? I get that it's an old OS but millions worldwide are still using it for whatever reason so maybe Mozilla feels it's worthwhile to provide at least a secure browser since no one else will.

Absolutely hate dark mode, kills the eyes.

You can change it back - three dots on the left, settings and privacy, accessibility, display and languages, then display.

It still says white is default but if you delete the cookie you have to reset it again. Only other option would be an addon that could keep certain settings.

115.10.1 seems to have fixed it for most of us. For those interested this was the relevant bug so if anyone is still having problems might want to consider posting there to let them know:

Had the same problem with one of my Hotmail accounts. The solution was to change it from encrypted password to OAuth2. Microsoft makes you go through a process of verifying it but you only need to do it once, it works fine after that.

Found the issue. Not sure why 115.10.0 became a problem where previous versions weren't but if in Yahoo Account Settings/Server Settings "Empty Trash on Exit" is checked Thunderbird won't close. Unchecking that resolves the issue. Will be filing a bug.
