Email is vulnerable to spammers. I've noticed that the emails associated with most of my social accounts have been leaked to spammers even though I never publish my addresses.

So I use the Filter mechanism of Thunderbird.

But I can't find how to "bounce" an incoming email, meaning to treat it as though the RECIPIENT account on my server does not exist.

Does anyone know how to get the Filter to bounce incoming email in this way? I think it would be more effective in cutting down spamming than just ignoring the incoming email.

I'm having trouble breaking down the specific behavior of fingerprinting protection for the 3 settings levels.

According to the Windows release notes dated 1 October 2023, "Additionally, you can choose whether to block Suspected Fingerprinters in all windows or just in private windows", but also, "To disable Fingerprinting Protection and return to the default settings, simply select "Standard" or "Strict"

In my reading, these two statements conflict. I'm under the impression that "known fingerprinter" blocking is always active, even on standard. Does enabling "Strict" enhanced protection also enable "suspected fingerprinter" blocking, and if so, is it active on all windows or only in private browsing? Does that mean we need to use the "Custom" setting to enable suspected fingerprinting blocking in all windows?

My question is the same for Firefox for Android 131.0, except in the mobile app's case, the release notes contain even less detail - so I could also be off-base there. TBH I am probably missing something obvious, so if anybody can even point me in the right direction I'd be grateful!

Thanks for any insight anybody can provide!

I have signed into my Firefox account on my parents computer in order to see my bookmarks & have saved passwords, etc easily found, signed into & used. Sync is off but after I sign out bookmarks & password still on this computer. I don't want to remove these bookmarks & passwords from my Firefox account on my home desktop or my phone - just from this one computer. Research I found say a Firefox account not for this "function" - but now that I've done it is there NO way to remove it & not have to start from scratch & thus lose all the saved data, extensions, etc.???

Hi Thunderbird Support Team,

I recently installed the latest version of Thunderbird in a Hyper-V virtual machine and encountered the following message: " Approval required Mozilla Thunderbird This app requires your admin's approval to: Read and write access to mailboxes via IMAP. Read and write access to mailboxes via POP.

Allows the app to have the same access to mailboxes as the signed-in user via POP protocol.

This is a permission requested to access your data in xx Send emails from mailboxes using SMTP AUTH. Maintain access to data you have given it access to View users' basic profile"

This was functioning with the previous version of Thunderbird, but now my IT team requires additional information about what the app is trying to do with our Office 365 environment. The approval process is crucial because some apps may introduce security risks or seek extensive access to our Office 365 resources.

Could you please provide more detailed information on the permissions requested and the specific changes in this version compared to previous versions? This will help in getting the necessary approval from our IT team.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Jenny

Anyone want to try something tough...? I find that the telephone confirmation system for ID checking used by Paypal does not work with Firefox. It used to, but now it won't. The system offers to call you, putting you up a number of the screen, and then calls you to get you to put that number into the keypad on your phone. It used to work fine, and validation was not an issue. There is no problem when using Chrome, but only with Firefox. There is some sort of issue with the connection as, when using Firefox, Paypal's computer does not seem to 'hear' the numbers entered on my phone, then suddenly, unasked, another code appears!

Anyone had this? Justin

I received an email when I opened Firefox today telling me that Firefox has increased security with an update that prevents third parties from accessing cookies from any site. Did you send this or was this a scam since I signed on to receive your newsletter before I left the site. thanks.

how do I actually turn this off? I work for realtors and am constantly filling out contracts with addresses, and doing address searches for them. I have "autofill addresses" turned off under Privacy and security, but it asks me EVERY time I fill out a contract if I want to save the address. I have to say "not now" easily twenty times during my work day. Am I missing something obvious? this has only become a problem in the last couple weeks or so, but I am starting to get frustrated. thanks so much! Nicole

I recently read Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers' blog post titled "Improving Online Advertising Through Product and Infrastructure" dated October 3, 2024. I understand that Mozilla is introducing new advertising solutions within products like Firefox and Fakespot, focusing on privacy-preserving techniques and partnerships with Anonym.

While I appreciate Mozilla's commitment to user privacy and innovation in the advertising space, I prefer not to participate in any form of advertising integration within my browser or other Mozilla products.

Does the community have a voice or choice in the matter? Could anyone guide me on how to opt out of these new advertising features or disable them entirely? Or is my only option moving to another browser? I value the control over my online experience and would greatly appreciate any assistance or recommendations the community can provide.

I am having a problem with Release 131.0, apparently with cookies. When I try to access my bank account to pay bills at https://www.citizensbankonline.com/, I get the following error message.

Why can't I access Bill Pay?

This occurs on both my two laptops and my desktops which all run W10. For one of the laptops, it allowed access with the older version of FF until I let it update to R131.0, and now it gives the same error message. I have cleared all cookie checkboxes under "Custom", twice deleted all cookies, site data, and cache, restarted FF several times - each time deleting all cookies for citizens bank, and also tried running "Troubleshooting Mode." If I use MS Edge with default settings (I don't usually use this browser), then all works fine. Is there something else I can try, or is this a known issue with R131.0?

Thank you, Tony D.

for some reason this last update is now blocking my banking website. They recently updated but i have not had trouble until Firefox updated. now i just get a Blank screen when i try to log in so SHOULD I CHANGE TO MICROSOFT EXPLORES AS MY MAIN BROWSER NOW SINCE MORE AND MORE OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE USING FIREFOX?????

Firefox is already my PC browser, I guess that I have had it as my default for over ten years now. Has the new Firefox cookie protection just announced by Mozilla already been added to my Firefox or will that happen at the next auto update? Or is there some action I need to take to download this update to my browser? Thank you

I have online accounts with both drawboard.com and offerup.com. Neither of these websites will finish logging out when I click log out on Firefox. I assume it's a Firefox issue as I do not have the same problem with Safari or Chrome when I've tried. I really don't want to stay logged in to those websites when I'm not using them. On Drawboard, the logout page just gets stuck there and won't change even if I refresh. On Offerup, it doesn't do anything at all.

Been trying to log out of offerup for weeks even with their help desk. Please help, thanks.
