No New Window on Double Click is a Thunderbird extension that disables the program's ability to launch a new primary window when double-clicking on items. This helps prevent clutter and improves user experience.
What I appreciated most about this extension is that when you double-click on a folder in the folder pane, the folder will simply expand or collapse if it has subfolders. This feature can save you time and provide a smoother user experience.
Another useful feature of No New Window on Double Click is that if a program attempts to open Thunderbird while it is already running, the new window will automatically close and the first main window will become the focus. This can prevent confusion and clutter in your workspace.
While this extension does prevent Thunderbird from opening new main windows, it still allows you to open new mail windows by right-clicking on a folder and selecting "Open in New Mail Window". This functionality has been confirmed in the latest release of the extension.
In order to install No New Window on Double Click, simply click on the Download button above and save the file in a convenient location. Then, within Thunderbird, open the Tools menu and select Extensions. Follow the prompts to install the extension by opening the saved file.
Overall, I found No New Window on Double Click to be a helpful extension for Thunderbird users seeking greater control over window management. Its clear user interface and easy installation process make it a solid choice when looking to enhance your Thunderbird experience.
