Frequently Asked Questions

I have installed your extension, how come I don't see any change?

You need to put the buttons you want on your toolbar yourself, I don't want to force any on for you. To do this you need to open the customize toolbar window. There are two ways of doing this "right clicking" the toolbar and selecting Customize. Or going to the View menu, then to the Toolbars sub menu and the last item in the menu will be Customize. In the window that comes up there will be many buttons shown. You can then drag these to the toolbar with your mouse.

I want a button that does something but it is not there!

I have had many requests for buttons before, if you Email and the buttons sounds useful I will add it in for you. Even if I do take a while to get around to doing it.

I pressed install, and the extension shows fine in Firefox but I can't get it to show in Thunderbird?

Firefox can't read your mind. When you click install, it installs it because it is compatible with Firefox. On this site I provide a link the forced the extension to download not install, but on addons.mozilla.org you must right click the link save it to your hard drive and install it from Thunderbird's Extension/Add-ons window.

What happened to the "Text Formatting Toolbar"?

For several reasons I pulled it out of Toolbar Buttons. You can still get it though, from its own page

There is too many buttons, I only want one!

I realize that not everyone wants as many buttons as I provide, so you can just install your pick of them using the Custom Toolbar Button Maker.

I would like toolbar buttons in my own language, I see you already provide some.

All the translations are generously done be the volunteers at BabelZilla.org. If you want to add another translation, your more than welcome.

The Read Mail/Read News buttons don't open the program I want them to.

I am told Default Mail fixes the problem. Some times you need a sledge hammer to give Windows the hint that you want to change your default email program. Try going Tools then Options then in the General panel under System Defaults pressing the Check Now button in Thunderbird first though.

My question is not here, what now?

Email me and I will try can help you.
