I don't like the "view panel" in Thunderbird so I always work with it turned off. However, if I restart TB 91.10.0 (32-bit) for any reason the panel always comes back (Win 10 Home) and I have to turn it off again. It never used to do this; instead TB remembered my preference. What am I doing wrong please?

using ccleaner perhaps? or other software that might also delete the sessions.json file and hence you settings for user interface items
