CloseReviews for Hide Local Folders for TB78++
17 reviews for this add-on
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
To hide Local Folders in Thunderbird >115, click the "..." menu in the folder pane (top-right corner of that pane) and select "Hide Local Folders"
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Please create a version that hides those 2 folders:
-Junk folder
-templates folder
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
As of Thunderbird 115, this add-on is obsolete since you can hide without using this add-on, but if you really want, it still works.

Worked on Thunderbird 110. Sadly on 111.0 it has stopped working. Considering the other crap Mozilla have added to the page, it's almost a minor problem.
I cannot find any setting in Thunderbird 111 to hide the folders. If there is something in about:config it's not obvious.
Please note:
1.) 110 and 111 are TB beta versions.
2.) As far as I know, 111 has an built-in function to hide the local folders, so the Add-on makes no sense for TB 111 and later versions.
Regarding the setting, here is a hint:
On the right [of the new Folder Pane Header], an accessible “meatball” menu button will allow users to:
...
Show or hide local folders and tags
(Found here:

Addendum on 03.03.2023:
Obviously this function is not yet implemented in TB111, see

Update 16.06.2023:
The built-in function to hide the local folders has arrived in TB 115.0b3 !!!

Works well.

As stated in another review, it doesn't seem to work properly on TB 91.0 64-bit (Windows 10 64-bit). The addon has to be disabled and re-enabled to hide the Local Folders every time TB starts. Perhaps another addon is interfering?
Edit - The developer has acted quickly and updated the add-on to 2.1.0, which now works perfectly with the latest TB.
Please update the Add-on to version 2.1.0 - this should work with TB 91.0.
(In case of bugs please report to k-l-p@gmx.de.)

Sadly, this extension doesn't work (at least for me) in TB91
Update1: It's odd, I must deactivate and activate manually for the extension work
UPDATE: 1.0.1 version works perfectly
Can you please write an e-mail to k-l-p@gmx.de and tell me what version of TB you use and which operating system you run?
(I use TB 91.0b6 and Windows 10 and the extensions works correctly.)
Update 16.08.2021:
Please update the Add-on to version 2.1.0 - this should work with TB 91.0.

Thank you for this great work, C-E!
I don't know what is C for, but E definitively means "excellent"!

Honestly, when I saw the "needs access to everything on your computer" permission I was worried so I downloaded the code first and had a look through it. The code is really minimal, there's not much to it and the only thing it does is what it says.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1).Thank you for confirming it is safe!
