Thunderbird branded by default?

When I upgraded Mozilla Thunderbird I was happy to see that it was named Shredder, a nice name, much better than Mail/News client!
Well, this is just to say that today I've found that now it's named Thunderbird (window name and About dialog too).
What's going on? Has the official Arch Linux package been rebranded to Thunderbird? Why?
I'm running Arch x86_64.
Thanks!

  • How can I make Thunderbird be my default e-mail progrm?

    Mac Mail does not work well with my satellite system and Internet Service Provider. Thunderbird works much better. However, iPhoto does not recognize Thunderbird. The only two choices it gives me are Mac Mail and Entourage. How can I add Thunderbird as a choice or make Thunderbird my default. I have thrown away Mac Mail and still neither iPhoto nor some important websites I deal with will recognize Thunderbird. There doesn't seem to be any setting in Thunderbird which will make it the default e-mail program.
    Thanks

    It's normally done in Mail's General preferences. But since you trashed it, use this freeware instead.

  • Thunderbird shows 3 default profiles? Is this right? I just installed it and recovered my profile from another computer.

    My previous computer's hard drive said it was failed. I copied off the thunderbird profile before it crashed.
    I bought a new computer. I restored the thunderbird profile. Within a few hours, the email and file folders revert to a 2014 data file any anything from that time forward does not appear. So I went in, uninstalled thunderbird, deleted all the thunderbird profiles and their files and put it back on again. Within a couple hours, it did it again.
    So I again uninstalled thunderbird, searched everything thunderbird and deleted all I could and downloaded a fresh copy of thunderbird and then restored the profile again. Within about 30 minutes there are now three different default profiles for thunderbird. I don't know what else to do. The e-mail files aren't changed yet, but I'm waiting...... Are three supposed to be there, I would think not. I certainly didn't create them. Somebody know what to do??????

    ''Are three supposed to be there''
    No, Thunderbird would create a new profile upon start if it can't find an existing profile.
    ''I restored the thunderbird profile.''
    How exactly did you do this?

  • How can I run Thunderbird in my default Firefox browser as I used to run Outlook (spit, spit) there?

    in the past I was able through Firefox to run Outlook as a virtual webpage. Can I do that now with both Mozilla offerings?

    I can't think of a way to view your local Thunderbird mailbox from within Firefox. To view your mail in Firefox, I think you would still need to go to your email service provider's website and use their webmail interface. Maybe someone is aware of an add-on that can get closer to what you're looking for.

  • C Stamp On the "Add certificate Exception" warning, what to check to keep Thunderbird's security default: "Confirm security exception" or "Cancel?"

    When the dialog box "Add certificate exception" comes up with the warning "You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site," which is the safe box to check?
    I want to stay with Thunderbird's security system. Do I check "Confirm Security Exception" or "Cancel"?

    Unfortunately, some sites do not maintain their certificates properly. So basically if you trust the site, you can confirm the exception. If it is an unknown site or you are not sure about it, then Cancel. Of course if you don't confirm the exception, you won't be able to see/use the site.

  • How do I STOP thunderbird from being the default mail client?

    I recently upgraded my version of thunderbird and it has decided it is to be my default email program. This is really annoying. I use thunderbird for 1 email account and all other email accounts are handled by MS Outlook 2010.
    How do I tell thunderbird it is NOT the default email program?

    From the Menu Bar select '''Tools-Options-Advanced-General'''
    Under System Integration uncheck the box to always check to see if Thunderbird is the default.
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.
    Then tell Outlook it is the default.

  • Mailto links not working in Firefox 28 for default Thunderbird 24.4 on Win7

    This should be simple, right? I have a registered version of Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit completely updated with Firefox 28.0 and Thunderbird 24.4 as defaults. Within Firefox, I have confirmed that Firefox is the default browser. Within Thunderbird, I have confirmed that Thunderbird is the default e-mail client. But when I click on a mailto link nothing happens whatsoever. This has been going on for quite some time, probably before the Firefox release of 28.0 and before the release of Thunderbird 24.4. I am just now getting annoyed and frustrated. This should be automatic. I checked Mozilla support and confirmed all the defaults under this support article: "Change the program used to open email links" but nothing worked. Please help. And thanks for what you do.

    I realize this is the software equivalent of turning it off and on again, but please try switching the mailto handler setting in the Options to something else (e.g., Gmail) and OKing that, then going back into Options and switching it back to Thunderbird. This will update the settings file and hopefully blow out whatever is currently blocking the setting.
    If that doesn't work, the usual next workaround is to remove that settings file and have Firefox regenerate it. Your changes (e.g., using a different PDF reader) will need to be re-entered.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Restart Firefox. Hopefully now the links will work.

  • How to stop being prompted to make Thunderbird the default client

    When I launch Thunderbird on my iMac (using Mavericks iOS), I'm continually prompted to either "set as default" or "skip integration".
    I neither want Thunderbird to become my default email application, nor do I want to continually be prompted to skip integration.
    How do I stop being prompted for this and NOT have Thunderbird become my default email program?

    I tried to file the bug - guess what it was already there and marked as solved.
    Reading the discussion is not eas, when you are not used to it, but I found the solution or better the work-around.
    Click Tools->Options->Advanced->General
    Click on "Check Now", if you do not want to check.
    Uncheck Email and Newsgroups (or whatever you can and want to uncheck and then click on "Set as Default", which means only "OK" or "Apply" in this environment. (See image)
    Then it should not appear again.
    I understood that some developpers wanted to reorganise the box, but although marked as Resolved Fixed on 2012-10-19, it is still that complicated.
    Hope that Helps

  • How do I install a Thunderbird add-on for all users? Putting the XPI file into Extensions folder didn't work.

    I'm trying to install Enigmail 1.8.2 for all users. I thought I read somewhere that you don't need to unpack the XPI file.
    Whilst writing this, I did some experimenting and found a solution, but it's messy (see below). Is there an easier way?
    Fresh install of Thunderbird 31.6 on Windows 7 x64. Have observed the following:
    1. If I install the extension for one user via the Add-Ons GUI (from the marketplace, not from a local file), it does work. The Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Extensions folder is empty. Folder {847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5} is created in Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions\staged\ and moved from staged to extensions when TB is restarted.
    2. If I download the XPI file from Enigmail site and copy it to Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\Extensions folder, then Thunderbird's Extensions screen says "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed".
    3a. If I rename the xpi to zip (e.g. enigmail-1.8.2-tb+sm.xpi.zip) then I can open it and see that the contents are similar to what was created at point (1). If I unzip the contents, then Thunderbird doesn't recognise the add-on, unless I rename the folder to the GUID above (which could be found in install.rdf or chrome.manifest, once you know what you're looking for).
    Presumably I could also have done a per-user install, copied the folder from the profile, removed the extension, then pasted the copy into the program folder. That would save looking up the GUID but is only a little less fiddly.
    3b. After renaming the folder and restarting TB, it gives me a new tab "Install Add-on" which says "Another program on your computer would like to modify Thunderbird with the following add-on: ... Location: C:\Program Files (x86)". Once I allow the add-on, it is listed in Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\extensions.ini.
    Aside: Disabling the add-on simply removes the line from extensions.ini, so how does TB distinguish between an unapproved add-on and a disabled one? It seems to be in extensions.json.

    Is Thunderbird already installed in the computers? If so, you could download the .xpi file and drag and drop it into the extensions window (after opening that) to install it in all the computers, following which you click the Install buttons when they become enabled, and you might have to restart Tbird afterwards.

  • How do I set default font size?

    Some programs (most importantly for me, Thunderbird) use a default font size that is too small for my eye comfort. Some (such as Firefox) allow me to change the font size, but Thunderbird does not (though there is a menu item to change font size, which does not work).
    I gather that such programs are using a default system font size. So I would like to change this. Some Help articles suggested that I could do this from the Font Panel, but they give no indication where to find the Font Panel. I cannot find it in System Preferences or via the Spotlight.
    I am using OS X 10.4.7
    I am computer-literate, but new to the Mac, having had this computer for about a week and a half.
    P.S. In Thunderbird -> Preferences -> Fonts there is an option to configure the fonts used by Thunderbird. The settings affect messages, but not the main window with the message list. However, at this point I'd really like to set the system default so all programs that use the system default will be affected.
    Thanks.
    Daniel

    This still does not work.
    I tried all of them.
    Theme Font & Size Changer
    Big Buttons
    Default FullZoom Level
    NoSquint.
    It only works for that page of that web site, as soon as you leave you start all over again.
    Can't we just say Firefox messed up and needs to revert to the way it used to work without have to do ANYTHING to adjust any sizing.
    This is utterly ridiculous.
    It's a web browser for GOD sakes...not the OS. It shouldn't be doing anything but displaying web sites with NO INTERVENTION by the user for each and every page.
    Why are programers always looking for ways to take a working product and make it useless???

  • Email submit button doesn't work with Thunderbird

    I created a LiveCycle (v8.2.1) form with the email submit button. Works fine if the sender is using Outlook. If their using Thunderbird, it does not. I installed Thunderbird on my system (normally I use Outlook) and set Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs email to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email program. When I click the Email button on my LiveCycle PDF form, I get a message telling me: Select an Email Client. The "Desktop Email Application" radio button is checked and that should be fine; the explanation for this button indicates that it should be checked "if you currently use an email application such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or Mail.". I leave that checked, since I am using an email application and click OK. After 20-30 seconds, I get a message with the title bar: Microsoft Office Outlook "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook..." Allow|Deny|Help. I click Deny. After a minute or so, an Outlook "New" email window appears with the appropriate information from my LiveCycle PDF form. Right content, wrong email client. Since Thunderbird is my "default" email application, where is LiveCycle coming up with Outlook? What do my customers do who don't use Outlook?
    I hope someone has a good solution.
    Thanks.

    When you click the submit button, do you get a window that has the title "Select Email Client"and has the options of "Desktop Email Application" and "Internet Email"? If not, does anything at all happen?
    Note that Mac users must have Acrobat or Reader installed and be viewing the PDF in Acrobat or Reader for it to work. Many (most?) Mac users have the Preview Application as their default PDF viewer, and it does not support many interactive features such as form submissions. Although some third-party PDF viewers for Windows support form submissions, many do not.
    For those that do not use PDF viewers that support form submissions, they will have to manually attach the document to an email message.

  • When I select a photo to email from "my pictures" or Picasa, Thunderbird is no longer opening a blank email with the photo attached.

    I used to be able to select a photo in my pictures or Picasa, select size, select email, and a blank email would open in Thunderbird with the photo attached. I am wondering if there is a setting somewhere in Thunderbird that should be enabled.
    Hope someone can help.
    thanks
