I solved this problem already by finding this thread previously :

https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1399586

If your thunderbird window shrinks when being displayed on your internal laptop monitor but expands when displayed on an external monitor (or vice versa) it is because if the value for

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx (Edit -> Settings -> General -> (all the way down) Config Editor -> (search for) layout.css.devPixelsPerPx)

is set to a positive value. It seems like the value has a reverse effect in between internal and external monitors (shrink one and expands one).

To fix this issue, set the value for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to -1

I am posting this question to display this solution to the public if anyone else experiences a similar issue.

As this topic is not "solved" it is not shown in searches on search engines.

You might also be interested to know that -1 is the default value of that setting.
