I have a question please its driving me crazy I have an email address from a service provider which I use Thunderbird to open read send etc: which is all I want thunderbird for nothing else. The problem is if I'm in Gmail and want to save an email it saves it as thunderbird format, plus if I want to respond to a link I might get in a Gmail email when I click respond it opens in the Thunderbird program. It's like Thunderbird is the default program. How the hell do I stop it, please.

Why does the Thunderbird Team always have to break every good thing about Thunderbird, and constantly make it less and less customizable? The whole concept of Thunderbird (and Firefox) was that they were infinitely customizable, but both apps have been getting less and less customizable with every release, making it harder and harder to do even the most basic customizations. This whole relying on CSS to do most customizations is a real pain for people who aren't familiar with CSS coding. The early releases of Thunderbird either had menus or options to customize, or could simply drag-and-drop to make Thunderbird look the way you wanted it to. With each new release, I have to search the internet to try to find what the development team broke, and it's a serious waste of my time. I would have given up on TB long ago if there was just another open-source, highly-customizable and extension-compatible email client. I hate using internet portals for email.

Thunderbird has turned into an abysmal performance hog, lately. Why? Do we really need all this Rust?
@szaszm_Ай бұрын
If anything, replacing poorly maintained code with new Rust modules should help the team clean up the old code that they don't really understand, and that's probably adding a lot of the overhead and turning Thunderbird into a performance hog. I'm not involved with Thunderbird, but I'm doing C++ development, and learning Rust. Going with a stricter language can help future maintenance: if a change doesn't fit well into the original vision, it will more likely raise a compiler error, instead of silently working in a suboptimal way. C++ is fairly strict, but Rust is even stricter. Rust is also "zero overhead", so there is no inherent runtime cost of using the language, over hand-writing assembly, like C and C++, but unlike Java, C#, Python, JS, Go, etc.
