But that is a long list under 'general' to scroll through There is a button for this right at the bottom of the general tab, I know this and can tell you. One instance is the Thunderbird config editor. I must emphasise that this is a setting search, not a help search. But when you are looking for things you know the names of it is a very slow way to do things. This can be helpful if you have no idea what you think will be used as a term to describe what you are looking for, or to familiarise yourself with what options appear to be available. I am increasingly getting the feeling that people are not using this search option and continue to plow through the options looking for what they want. Along with this change came a search box that was to replace the well defined layout that made describing the location of setting fairly simple. Thunderbird moved it's settings from a dedicated window to a tab in Thunderbird 68. To fix this after the fact open the profile folder as with thunderbird closed and delete the following files if they exist.

If you have a master password you must further enter it in V68 and allow it to get mail in V68 for the update code to run. It is generally accepted that anyone updating from a version prior to 68 to a version after 68 without installing 68 will have issues. This means that in some cases the relevant file simply do not exist or that the appropriate cleanup has not occurred, leaving the password storage in an unstable and generally corrupted state.Īnecdotal evidence indicates that everything works as far as reading passwords that are already in the store, but attempt to save changes simply fail. Those who have directly update since then from a version prior to V58 to a version after71 will simply not get the conversion run on their profile. This migration continued into the Version 68 release cycle, but code to clean up the migration was not introduced until Version 68.5 and was removed in the version 72 beta, so this process needs the profile to go through the Version 68.5 to get the migration to the new formats and the cleanup.

Thunderbird implemented a migration of password storage and encryption to a new file name and system. Actually commencing with the Version 58 beta and Version 60 release. In the time of the Thunderbird version 60 release cycle.
