From d2da7ff900f360c0eec1e17f62df1358651ed77c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sommerfeld Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 13:43:23 +0100 Subject: fix(thunderbird): pin mail.biff.show_alert=true to restore notifications MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Removing a user_pref line does not reset prefs.js — the previously-written false value persists. Explicitly set both show_alert and use_system_alert to true so the notification path is guaranteed on every startup. --- thunderbird/user.js | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'thunderbird/user.js') diff --git a/thunderbird/user.js b/thunderbird/user.js index fad4bea..4ec057a 100644 --- a/thunderbird/user.js +++ b/thunderbird/user.js @@ -55,8 +55,10 @@ user_pref("mail.openpgp.allow_external_gnupg", true); /** UI / notifications — mako handles mail biff toasts on Linux **/ user_pref("mail.shell.checkDefaultClient", false); user_pref("mail.biff.play_sound", false); -// Keep show_alert=true so libnotify/mako fires on new mail -// (mail.biff.use_system_alert=true routes TB's alert through libnotify). +// Pin show_alert=true: removing the line doesn't reset prefs.js, so force +// it here. use_system_alert=true routes the alert through libnotify/mako. +user_pref("mail.biff.show_alert", true); +user_pref("mail.biff.use_system_alert", true); user_pref("mail.pane_config.dynamic", 2); /** Calendar **/ -- cgit v1.3.1
