Could you clarify whether you mean:

  • when you are viewing your email in Firefox on your mail provider's website or
  • when you are viewing your email in Thunderbird, the stand-alone mail program

Currently, your question is slotted under Thunderbird, so we need to clear that up. Thanks.

No worries, your post is on the right forum in that case and I will leave it to others better informed to advise on whether it's possible.

I didn't know about the "app menu" button always wondered what that was as I only recognized it as an Android feature. Thanks for making me aware of it.

Additional info on toolbars - should anyone need more info on enabling them. I moved my 'Menu icon' from the right to the far left as it seemed more logical. Left click, hold and then drag to suitable location on Mail Toolbar.

I like to see 'Menu Bar' toolbar How to enable other Toolbars: See image below.
