Thunderbird 60 (Release and Betas) QuickFolders 4.10 and several betas Multiple IMAP folders synced from Outlook 365 in a single account Simple but random and a little intermittent. Switching to a folder, doesn't. 1. Left or right click on a folder tab. 2. Mouse down to the drop-down list 3a. List closes as soon as the mouse pointer leaves the tab and enters the menu 3b. Or, list doesn't close but attempts to mouse across to a sub-folder result in the menu closing 3c. Sometimes, mouse off the tab and onto the list, and any sub-folders, and all appears to work fine. Until you select a folder. Nothing happens other than the list closes. 3d. Occasionally you can go through the same process and it works! You can change to the selected folder, just as advertised! There seems to be neither rhyme nor reason to this. Sometimes it works fine although more often than not it doesn't. Trying twice often doesn't help, thrice might do. Basically, try often enough and eventually it'll work. If you have the patience. Folder lists. Some are pretty short, some are short with a few sub-folders. One is pretty massive - and that is the one folder that *always* seems to work. There are sufficient folders here to fill the screen from top to below the bottom... I suspect this folder always works because with a left or right click on the tab the mouse pointer is placed directly into the folder list. Did this ever work as advertised? Yes, on Thunderbird pre-60 (59?) and QF 4.9.1. Several TB 60 Beta versions have been tried, all with no improvement. QF 4.10 and betas were also no help. In conclusion. Massively useful plug-in; with 30G+ of email, a daily deluge of new mail and countless folders it is a life saver for quick filing and navigation around those folders. And pre- TB 60 it worked fine, I just wish it still did :( Note. My two primary requirements/uses are just: 1. Drag mail from InBox to a destination folder through QF. That always works fine. 2. Right click on QF tab and select "Open in New Tab" followed by Left or Right click on the same QF tab to navigate to the required sub-folder (as required).
Marking as duplicate of [Bug 26575] I have been working on this for about 40 hours so far. Still not 100% what causes it (except that it caused by a regression in mozilla-central which is owned by the "Firefox" team of Mozilla and not Thunderbird) It works in Thunderbird 60.0b6 and fails in Thunderbird 60.0b7 I also raised https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1482861 on this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 26575 ***

Check out the prerelease at https://quickfolders.org/bugzilla/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26575#c17 doesn't fix the menus going away but it does fix most of the commands (clicking th menu items now actually does something)
