Currently, there's no way of knowing if threading is enabled for a folder unless you scroll down to a message thread and see the thread icon. The thread icon in the column headers should change color or background to indicate when it's turned on.
Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.
I suggest setting 'thread off' by default when a new account or directory is created.
Also having an auto changing buttom to put thread off/on inmediatelly for any folder
