Hi, Will there ever be a functioning option to set up a primary password that aborts the start up if not provided with the correct password. Still in 2026, hitting cancel gives access to all already synced emails. Please, soon!

Recently purchased a new HP laptop. And installed my ZoneAlarm without issue. Then downloaded Thunderbird and installed it. On opening ZA went berserk constantly alerting every few seconds saying there was a Bot. See attached screenshot from the last instance of this. Deleted Thunderbird and the problem disappeared. Was the problem actually caused by Thunderbird and have you any idea what was trying to access the website in the screenshot and what the website is that it was trying to access?

Changed to Firefox from duck duck go. Everything still under duck duck go with passwords. Signed up with Firefox focus and still duck duck go passwords came up to open app for IDX . Now put password for Firefox… will this stop DuckDuckGo using old passwords? Can I use IDX with cookies for protection on phone?

Can't get rid of "Add Security Exception" pop-up

Sometime ago, when I was regularly using more than one computer, I thought I'd found a way to have my Thunderbird address book centrally located and accessible from both computers. I got no success from attempting this, but have suffered some side-effects every since. Configuring Thunderbird back then somehow involved using the location "demo.sogo.nu" and I believe it related to a security certificate. What used to happen was, soon after rebooting the computer, I'd get a couple of pop-up messages about connecting to demo.sogo.nu that I could clear away easily. Recently, something changed regarding this certificate and I now get pop-ups (screenshot attached) that continually bother me to create a security exception. I want these gone! I've gone into the Certificate Manager and can't find anything under the Server tab to delete. One other clue is a second screenshot that I discovered somewhere in Thunderbird that actually shows the *.sogo.nu certificate - but offers no way to delete it! Can anyone give me a hand? My only alternative is to literally annihilate Thunderbird and start from scratch, but I really don't want to go there.

I've received notifications from Mozilla stating my Mozilla account was used to sign in. Info posted in email states it was Firefox on Windows 10. My city and state accurate. Day, date, and time is ok. I've been using windows 11 for some time now. How can i trust Mozilla, if they can not detect the right windows version?

Thanks. George K
