A list of my issues with 115

Hi, I have been a grateful and happy user of TB for over a decade.

Then TB updated to 115.

Currently at Version 115.4.1 OS Linux 4.18.0-477.27.1.el8_8.x86_64

I posted about it taking a long time to start up when using Unified folders, and this was fixed by me doing a clean install of 115 which took me a half day. However it still takes much longer to start up than previous versions to 115.

I still have the issues that I posted about: - Inbox displays incorrect number of messages - Issues with forwarded messages that also happen when using Unified folders. So I dont use Unified folders.

I now also have the issues (that I have not posted about): - Sometimes TB shows an empty message with a date of year 1969 - Sometimes when I compose a new message, which opens a new window, and then I switch out of that window back to the window that has Thunderbird in it, the new message window just disappears, along with the contents I have typed into it. Poof.

With TB pre-115, I always felt it was stable and reliable and had few issues over the years.

With 115 I now feel there are many issues, that I dont have time to dig into, or post about.

If I am using Firefox and I click "Email a link of this page" in TB, first the main TB application opens, and then a new separate window opens with a new message that contains the info of this page. In previous versions, the main TB application did not first open, just a TB new message window would open. This was much faster than what 115 does.

I have a number of email accounts in TB and I cannot use Unified folders, so I have to check the Inbox and other folders of each account separately.

I would install the Unified Folders Debugging 115.3 addon but I noticed it gives a warning before install that says it will have access to my whole computer, and my company's security policy will not allow installing based on this warning.

To be clear, I am not posting this to request help, nor to complain about this. I am posting this because I am a grateful long term user that appreciates what Mozilla provides, but think it is important for Mozilla to know the amount of issues that some users are experiencing with 115.

I use a Linux distro that lags having the latest version of TB, but I have checked the release notes of 115.4.2 and 115.4.3 and I dont see any of these issues being fixed, but I look forward to them hopefully being fixed in upcoming releases.

Thank you for providing such great details.

I suggest picking your worst two issues and posting each in a new topic - volunteers often chose which topics they will spend time on by examining the title. I suggest your two compose issues - sending a link and the disappearing window.

> Unified Folders Debugging 115.3 addon ... but I noticed it gives a warning

This is just standard boiler plate wording. In practice add-ons provided are safe but the warning is required. This debugging addon in particular is written by a core trusted developer - the addon doesn't send any data outside of your computer and so is trustworthy.

Most of the other issues you list are known.
