The release also brings a new \u201c<em>Copy Message Link<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>Copy News Link<\/em>\u201d option in the header pane\u2019s \u201c<em>More actions<\/em>\u201d menu, making it easier to share references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, users can now copy entire folders within both local folders and mail server accounts, while a \u201c<em>Reset Folder Order<\/em>\u201d option has been added to the folder pane for those who want to undo custom sorting quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everything stayed the same, though. The \u201c<em>Copy Message Location<\/em>\u201d option has been removed from the mail context menu, as part of Thunderbird\u2019s ongoing effort to simplify the interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/thunderbird142-app.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/thunderbird142-app-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"Mozilla Thunderbird 142 free &amp; open-source desktop email client.\" class=\"wp-image-184055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/thunderbird142-app-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/thunderbird142-app-380x243.jpg 380w, https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/thunderbird142-app-768x492.jpg 768w, https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/thunderbird142-app.jpg 1442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mozilla Thunderbird 142 free &amp; open-source desktop email client.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding fixes, the list is massive. A wide range of issues have been addressed, from Fastmail calendar integration breaking due to missing OAuth settings to notification sounds ignoring the system&#8217;s do-not-disturb mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linux users in particular will notice improvements, such as the close caption button now working properly when the mouse is in the screen corner, along with smoother handling of dark message mode toggles and tab navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other fixes tackle everything from English folders being created in non-English installations, to \u201c<em>mailto:<\/em>\u201d links failing to open on Microsoft Store installs, to contact photos in WebP format not displaying from CardDAV servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance issues also got attention, with developers resolving slow initial startup times and UI lag while messages are downloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newsgroup users will see changes as well. Folders now maintain alphabetical order by default, and Thunderbird should reconnect more reliably after a connection loss. The update also corrects problems with posting failures, incorrect folder archiving for RSS feeds, and several quirks with filtering, quoting, and message list behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the release rounds things out with visual and UX improvements plus a batch of security fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thunderbird.net\/en-US\/thunderbird\/142.0\/releasenotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">see the announcement<\/a>.
