Hello All ,

Hope someone can help me on this. I am trying to access directly a device from Browser with an IP address. https://192.168.1.1 But i get the error : "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead"

Usually get the option of adnaced to proceed further. The Version is 130.0 (64-bit) and even set the about:config, security.dialog_enable_delay to minimum.

I have added the self signned certificate of the deivice to Firefox , but that is not helping, since i am accessing it with IP address and not FQDN. I cannot add it as exception in the exception list , since that setting also ask for DNS name.

Ip address access exception is no more available in this version , how can i proceed further and not downagrade to lower verion to support access via IP .

I thought at first that the Master Password was for that, it seems however its purpose is only to protect access to the saved sites passwords. I set it up and it did in fact ask me for a password at startup but with just 2 tries to close the window, the prompt went away and did not prevent me to use Firefox further. It eventually appeared again but the result was the same. How can i prevent unathorized people using Firefox right at startup?

What should be my response to these messages? Dismiss closes the particular message, but it is immediately replaced with another similar one. I have no idea what the xxxx.mergenetworkprotocol is or how to use it. It is real or a phishing scam? Is it safe to simply tell Firefox to hide it?

I found a potential flaw that can allow someone to gather all passwords saved by a user. It's pretty simple to explain, but also to exploit, so I don't want to do it publicly. Is there some specific team member that I should contact directly?

I recently added an ADDON that function to, OPEN A LINK IN A NEW TAB.

I saw something about that the Addon wasn't monitored for security.

This lead me to ask this question:

DO ADDONS SEND INFORMATION TO OTHER ENTITIES BESIDES FIREFOX, FOR EXAMPLE DO THEY SEND INFO TO THE DEVELOPERS OF ADDONS?

Thanks for your help in advance, Kavin King

Issue began Monday 7/1 where Thunderbird would not receive new email from AOL. At times it would tell me to enter the password. But the p/w I entered was not correct so that made situation worse. Found "Saved Passwords" in Help->Settings where I was able to retrieve the -correct- p/w for one of the email addresses being actively used in Thunderbird and problem solved. When I went to find the correct p/w for the other email address, the account in "Saved Logins" was not there?? Was odd that the list did display email accounts I haven't used in years, but not the 2nd one that I use daily! I tried changing the p/w at AOL Mail, but that didn't work for either of my two accounts. Bottom line, why isn't lf82me@verizon.net showing up in the "Saved Passwords" in Settings?

Hello,

So - SMTP suddenly stopped working in our whole company. We are using Gmail accounts configured with Thunderbird for a few years already. It's all been working until an hour ago.

Tried deleting and adding accounts, changing authentification to google app passwords etc.\

SMTP servers do have different descriptions.

Just configured an account in outlook and it works out of the box, so I'm guessing it's got something to do with Thunderbird settings, but we didn't change anything, and especially that we have 8 PCs and it stopped working on every one of it.

The error I get when trying to send a message is:

"Sending message failed. The message failed to send because it failed to connect to the outgoing mail (SMTP) server "smtp.gmail.com". The server may be unreachable or not accepting SMTP connections. Please verify that your outgoing mail server settings are correct and then try again or contact your server administrator."

(translated from polish).

Best regards.

I have been using TB for a long time, currently 115.11.1 (64-bit)

Out of the blue I have started to get on loading up TB: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to live.thunderbird.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

Can you please advise?

Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam,

I use the Thunderbird email client on my Microsoft Windows 10 desktop tower PC in order to access my Gmail account using POP3, using "only" my email address and password.

However, I note that Google plan to introduce more stringent and tighter sign in/authentication methods from September 2024 as follows:

https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879?hl=en

https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879?hl=en

Does Thunderbird have a workaround for Google's plans please?

Thanking you.

Have configured Thunderbird server settings with the OAuth2 authentication. However, still unable to receive or send emails. Error message: "smtp.fontier.server does not recognize authentication method; change authentication method in settings." I believe I have made the suggested changes, but Thunderbird email still not working. I would like to visit via phone with a Thunderbird rep as the Support page has not given me any solutions. Please let me know if I can call and visit. Emailing me won't work.

Thanks, bzuehlsdorf

Hello: I can't seem to receive emails from a specific address from a professional office (with their own URL), which I have never (not knowingly) ever classified as JUNK, ... I have checked my Junk box, Deleted Box, and my filters from __@Bell.net, from which I download to T-Bird. That email addr or URL is NOT blocked, and I have put that addr on my "SafeSenders" List.

I don't see that email anywhere else in T-Bird Folders,, and the sender had to call me, and resend from a diff address, their own Gmail acct.!

And I can send to them, to few ppl in that office,... And I don't get any emails from anyone @the URL, meaning no other staff from that URL can send anything to me!

Did I accidentally classify it as JUNK, but I never received anything from the beginning,.. So I do NOT believe I would have set it as Junk...

I have checked ALL settings in T-Bird and at __Bell.Net in my settings, but to no avail.

Pls help, Much appreciated, Az
