Hi All,

I got a wild one from a customer a few days ago. He called
complaining Thunderbird was acting weird and his computer
was running like crap.

Okay. First thing I noticed was that Th was stuck in full
screen. When I tried to windows it from the decoration in
the upper right, it spawned a new small widowed instance
and left the original in full screen. It is kept doing it.

That doesn't look like the problem of Th?
What is "Th"? Thunderbird? Or what?

Anyway, it's more like the problem of Windows,
or an operating system that looked and feeled
like Windows.

Th --> Thunderbird

That is what ChatGPT though, until I tried a
new profile, the it changed its mind

Th was the only program experiencing that issue.

Hmm!! I thought 'Tb' was the accept abbreviation for 'Thunderbird'.

"accept abbreviation" is command or acceptance.

I believe yuo meant "acceptED abbreviation".

BTW, if you look at the periodic table,
"Th" is Thorium. And it's related to
Thor, as in Avengers. "Tb" is Terbium.

Are they all rare earth elements? ;)

And that's why I asked for his/her
confirmation. Maybe he's using
newsgruops unrelated to chemistry
to send secret encoded messages.

Well....

Firstly, I didn't use ChatGPT.

Back to your problem: reinstall
your Thunderbird using offline
installer!!

Directory Listing: /pub/thunderbird/releases/ <https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/>

If you were not allowed to do so,
then stop using that PC, and leave
the place now. You might be baited
to use a faulty PC.

That is the only way I install Th.
or Betterbird.

Did. Didn't work.

Didn't work with Betterbird either.

Fresh profile worked with both.

Did you backup your bookmarks and
passwors before using a new profile?

I rat packed the old profile somewhere hidden that
I could get at if needed. So in a way, yes.

As long as you had a backup of your old
profile, just try anything. Nothing to
lose anyway.

Did you stamp-chop your old profile with
a date-time? Can be very useful some-
times.

No. I just moved it and added ".bad" as
its extension. I have dated profiles in
the past for various reasons though.

It's still a backup. Make good use of it.

So far the new profile is working perfectly.

The second post I made gave the details of
what I copied to the new profile.
