Hi Folks,

As I said above, I just updated to Thunderbird version 128.2.1esr (64-bit) and seem to have lost a couple of functions, in particular the ability to make a new Tab, and the use of an extremely handy Add-on, Shrunked Image Resizer. I have Mac OS 12.7.6 and I noticed in the release notes for 128.2.1esr (64-bit) that this latest version's System Requirements are MacOS 10.15 or later. Does that mean that I should not have downloaded the latest version, and if so, how can I revert to an earlier version of TB that will allow me to use Tabs and Shrunked Image Resizer? I thought that Thunderbird was capable of recognizing which version of Mac OS I have and thus would not suggest I update to the latest version of TB if it won't work as it did with an earlier version of TB. I would be very grateful if you could suggest a solution to my problem.

Thanks, Chris O'Brien

The latest TB 128 should support OS X 12.7.6, since it is newer than 10.15.

As for 'making a new tab', I'm not sure what you mean, as that usually refers to a browser. Do you mean you can't open messages or Settings in a tab? Does the same thing happen in safe/troubleshoot mode (hold Option when launching TB)?

There is a version 5.1.3 of the add-on for TB 128:
