Thunderbird 115.5.1 (64-bit) under Linux

If you are using an old style Window Manager (twm, vtwm,
mwm...) and have "AutoRaise" enabled, you may have noticed
issues with Menus in Thunderbird. This issue also occurs
on Firefox. But an about:config setting corrected it.

Does thunderbird have a method of setting something like
"widget.gtk.grab-pointer" equal to "1". This setting
corrected a similar issue with Firefox via "about:config".

Thanks

Yes, that is the default value, I need to change it to "1".

How do you find that setting in Thunderbird ?
