This is Fedora 22, 64 bit, XFCE, etc. with Thunderbird 38.0.1
When I click on a URL in an e-mail message it immediately starts a
blinking browser notice at the top left. I know, I've just selected a
URL and don't need that annoying/distracting box. It's as though I am
being implored to go look at it immediately but I would like to
continue reading messages before doing so.
Does anyone know how to eliminate it or at the least stop the stupid
blinking? Google hasn't helped me ...
try to use either the guest login, or
create a new login & start
thunderbird with NO add-ons, to see if the problem is in your
configuration...
or try this & see if that issue happens..:
How to start Thunderbird in Safe Mode
1. /If Thunderbird is not running:/ Start Thunderbird in Safe Mode
by going to your *Terminal*and running: |thunderbird -safe-mode|
You may need to specify the Thunderbird installation path
(e.g. /usr/lib/thunderbird).
/If Thunderbird is already running:/ At the top of the Thunderbird
window, click the Helpmenu, and select the Restart with Add-ons
Disabled... menu item and then click theRestart button in the dialog
box.
