When I registered this email for another service, auto fill filled in an unknown name filled in (first and last). The name filled in was "Cynthia" "Holste". Does Thunderbird recognize that name? I have no idea who this person is and it should be denied any access to this email.

Auto fill looks into your browsing history and "auto fills" what you have entered in the past on that device to a box with the same name. It has nothing to do with reaching out to the internet to get any information at all.

To the best of our recollection we have not entered the name "cynthia Holste" (cynthia was not capitalize in the autofill) in any searches or other situations.

We have no recollection of ever entering the name "cynthia Holste' in any searches or other event. BTY cynthia was not capitalized in the auto fill.
