Frustrating and time consuming development. Windows10, Thunderbird 60.3. When I open an email for editing will not let me paste into the email content that is from another email. If I cut content from an email I cannot paste that content back into that email. on several occasions now I cannot paste into email then It will start working for an undetermined reason. After that it will work no problem. The paste will always work in notepad.

  • Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
