It really does go down all the way to 1 line if you want. It's like discovering a unicorn munching grass with your kitties, I mean it's really cool :).

Why is this add-on asking for full permission/access to Thunderbird? Why is that necessary? Seems to me to be a breach of my privacy and security. I immediately removed the add-on for this reason.

Does anyone have userChrome code to replace the old compact header add-on?

Many thanks.

Using TBird without this extension was painful to say the least - especially since I'm on a 13" laptop. This is a godsend. Thanks for your contribution to make other people's lives easier. Please do keep it up-to-date for those of us who still swear by TBird

5-star, but broken again... With addon enabled the header area doesn't show at all, with addon disabled header area with 3 lines appears.

No headers at all? You possibly clicked "Hide Headers".
Right click a message or the message list and select "Show Headers" near the bottom.

After the latest Thunderbird update, I was frustrated to find my old compact headers extension no longer active. I should be used to updates that break perfectly functional things by now. But it boggles the mind why Thunderbird can't implement a simple header toggle. This developer has brought functionality back to this program with this add-on. And he was great with answering concerns I had about the blanket permissions requirement. I don't generally review things, but these add-ons truly do increase my work productivity, and I am grateful! Thanks!

Thanks for this! Why the developers removed this I will never know. Thanks to this extension normality is restored.

Works very well and nicely replaces the old extension that TB killed.

A suggestion would be to also eliminate all the buttons in the header. Their functions are all available in the task bar anyhow, or by the delete key or various other approaches.

I did have trouble figuring out how to install an XPI file though. The TB developers keep moving things around so memories of how I did it last time or instructions one finds on the web to install XPI files frequently don't work anymore. Their desire to pretty up the TB UI is very counter productive IMHO. I prefer an old ugly one that works to a "new and improved" version of TB. That goes double for Windows 10 UI redesigns, but they don't listen either.
