Maybe this is just a me problem, and I can't find the settings. Or maybe these are things they changed in 115 and made it worse?

Collapsing threads. If I collapse everything thread, click to a different folder and then click back, every thread is expanded. I would vastly prefer "every thread is collapsed", or "we remember where things were". I never even noticed what it was on 102, but it wasn't "always expand everything"

Tab bar positioning. In 102 (and I could swear in some 115 screenshots Ive seen) the tab bar was at the very top. In 115, the tab bar is below the "Get Messages, Write, Address Book, etc" + search toolbar. The old way was so much better. It feels weird to have things ABOVE the tab bar change when i select a tab. thats the point of tabs, things are supposed to be contained "within" the tab.

Both of these are from their own documentation:

Old good:

New busted:

Are there settings for either of these changes, or is 115 just a downgrade for me and I should stick to 102?

Thats kinda what I expected. Thanks!

I have high hopes still. I just worry about the "Apple-ification" of some things, where to win user share, features are completely removed to make the product "simpler, easier to use". Not that thunderbird is going that route, but it potentially could.
