THREADS
I have said this before when will THREADS become an option to apply and not be automatically applied. I just set up a new subfolder and THREADS were automatically applied and again I can not get rid of the blighters. They drive me mad with frustration.

I share your frustration and I have complained since 2022 when threading became the default. Have you changed the default in config editor? That's the best defense we have.
To change default for *new* folders, In config editor, you can change default that applies to NEW folders you set up: mailnews.default_view_flags 0 =unthreaded
Config editor is available at Tools>settings>general and scroll to bottom right.

FOR EXISTING FOLDERS These steps may help: To set many *existing* folders, follow these steps: This must be done on an account by account basis.
- select table view - the icon just to right of 'quick filter' button above message list pane
- select a message folder and apply all desired attributes - View>sort by from menu bar (if not shown, click alt key)
- click the icon at right side of column display in message list pane
- select the entry near bottom 'Apply current view to...'
- highlight 'folder and children'
- move mouse left to see account name and move left again to display all account folders. Now CLICK. a small menu will appear to confirm setting all folders within that account.
