Hello there, I have recently update thunderbird to version 38.2.0. After the update the facebook chat that I have attached to Thunderbird stopped working (I havent changed any addons or anything). I have attached the chat view (when you try to start chat). There are only some small windows appearing and you cannot make them bigger dont know where to type either. I would really apreciate all help as I use this feature very often.

I am having no issues with facebook chat, so I am guessing.

Try On the toolbar > options > advanced > General and disable hardware acceleration.

Any better?

I had it off. I turned it ON now and restarted. Now the chat works. Thank you.

Ok... more information please.

Help menu > troubleshooting information. Scroll down to the graphics section and select all the graphics information and copy (ctrl+C) and paste it into a message here. Please also include the Application basics section.

I have just successfully petitioned for the graphic acceleration to default to Off because it was causing a support nightmare. You are the first to have a problem fixed by turning it on. I know hardware acceleration has been a real issue for the Firefox folk, but at some point I would like to work out what works and what does not.
