I received an email threatening to cancel Firefox because of inadequate usage. Is this for real or a scam? I do use Firefox but, perhaps not enough for Mozilla's rules? I would regret losing this privilege. Thanks.

To whoever this new CEO is of firefox,

Stop with the AI garbage. Please.

AI is a notorious waste of space in software and all it does is bog down the experience and make everything harder for everyone. Also it is notorious for collecting information and violating users privacy like the lab rats you apparently take us for.

Stop it.

I loved Firefox because I could use it comfortably without all of this stupid AI crap making my life harder. I've already hacked my browser to make sure this doesn't appear but I'm not satisfied. To any other firefox tech reading this get that Anthony guy out of here. We don't want him, and we don't want AI.

Thank you.

Hello, I have the following problem: Bitdefender keeps sending me notifications about Thunderbird emails. I have already contacted their support team and they advised me to tell you that Bitdefender correctly detects and removes infected attachments in the temporary folder; However, some emails do not seem to be deleted or synchronized correctly with Gmail, causing repeated notifications. Can you please help me?

Today, using Firefox--or at least what i think is Firefox--i checed session history while logged into my mega.nz account. It lists 2 instances, one of which is for 3 days prior when I originally set up the Mega account using the Mega app, and the other is for yesterday when I entered the account using the FF browser--or, again, what i think is the FF browser. What's curious is that it shows i was using the Chrome browser, and that I'm apparently still using this browser as it's listed as the "Current" session. How can this be? While I have the Chrome app on my phone, I disabled it long ago and have never used it, and most certainly did not use it during the time and activities in question. I have long speculated that I have been hacked and that my phone is sometimes (always?) controlled by this hacker, though no solid proof. Assuming the hacker uses Chrome, could this be reflecting their using the Chrome browser, as opposed to the FF browser, which I'm currently using (or think im using)? In other words, is this the proof of a hack? Or is this a glitch within Mega, mistakingly listing Chrome as my browser?

I genuinely don’t know where else to post this so it gets seen. I have been a devout user of Firefox for years. I love this browser. I love its dedication to privacy and functionality. I love how it has kept true to its concept and customers in the face of tech crazes like NFTs and AI integrations. I am such a hardcore proseletyzer of Firefox that I started paying for Mozilla VPN to support Firefox!!

So when I see that the new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, is “doubling down” on AI integrations for Firefox, I AM LIVID. AI is NOT private. AI is NOT secure. And AI is TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

AI causes slower speed and longer load times. I have seen this in all my job’s internet workings (they insist on using browsers with AI integrations) and have felt a quiet relief that I get to come home to my good, simple browser.

AI is not private. It tracks and stores data in order to give suggestions “better for you”. And with the right prompts, anyone can pull that data.

Y’all really all read that one story of AI deleting the company’s ENTIRE DATABASE AND COMPUTER PROGRAMMING because it “panicked” and decided “ah yes, this is the techware we want to hand over all our customers to”??

I am so deeply disappointed by Mozilla’s betrayal of its customer base.

If Mozilla moves forward with AI integrations, I will pull out of using Firefox and I will stop giving Mozilla my money. Mozilla should not have hired a CEO who goes so adamantly against everything Mozilla as a company stands for.

And to the CEO Anthony: I hope you step in something wet in only your socks, every single day, until you either come to your senses or someone better replaces you as CEO of Mozilla.

I have been a Firefox user for many years, due to concerns about privacy with using chrome or chrome-based browsers, and because I liked the ethos I understood Firefox to have, of prioritising what is best for users instead of what's best for corporations.

But with every new Firefox update these days, there are new "AI" tools and integrations. Generative "AI" is created based on access to ordinary people's data in ways that are coercive at best or illegal at worst. This is inherently a privacy concern, of course. But beyond that, the current "AI" bubble in tech is bad for internet users and for humans on planet earth as a whole, in many ways that have been elucidated in detail by people who are much more knowledgeable than me. Whatever small benefits "AI" can provide within a user's experience of Firefox are not worth this whole heap of trade-offs.

Watching Firefox go down this route is starting to make me think that maybe it's no better than the megacorps that mediate most people's experience of the internet, and if that's the case, then why would anyone bother to put up with the hiccups that Firefox users semi-regularly experience, where a webpage does not work as intended because the developers didn't bother to make sure it was Firefox compatible.

And as a side-bar, until I found guides online for how to fully shut down certain "AI" features of Firefox, my laptop was behaving with SO much lag whenever Firefox was open that it was becoming nearly unuseable. The modern unmodified Firefox is incompatible with cheaper or older computers, with the amount of computing resources required.

This whole thing just smacks of Firefox jumping on the popularity train for "AI" because it's what all the other companies are doing and Firefox leadership is afraid of being left behind, instead of making decisions based on what is best for the actual community of ordinary users.

I don't expect my post here to actually change anything, but I do feel it is my responsibility to say something, so that my silence cannot be taken as tacit approval for Firefox's current direction.

Thanks,

Soph

Normally when I type "fetch certificate" a window pops up asking me to confirm a security exception, but this function no longer works on thunderbird. Is there another way I can confirm the security exception?

I know that I have things in my iPhone settings set up for as much privacy as possible. Are you talking about settings on my iPhone or settings in your app.? What exactly should I do in my iPhone settings and/or your browser settings? Will wait to hear back. Much appreciated. Linda

About sender display specifications and phishing scam risk in Thunderbird for Android

Dear Thunderbird Development Team

I'm a regular Thunderbird user. I'd like to provide feedback regarding security concerns regarding the UI specifications of the Android version of Thunderbird.

Currently, Thunderbird for Android displays the sender's "display name only" on the email list screen, making the sender's actual email address invisible at all times.

I feel this specification increases the following risks, particularly in smartphone environments:

- Anyone can freely forge display names. - Phishing scams posing as financial institutions, e-commerce sites, and official support are common. - Users often rely on the list screen or notifications to determine the content of emails.

As a result, a UI that makes it difficult to determine whether an email is from a legitimate sender at the list screen level can become a breeding ground for phishing scams.

The PC version of Thunderbird allows for detailed header display, etc., and I'm disappointed that the mobile version of Thunderbird, despite being the same Thunderbird, is at a disadvantage in terms of security.

I would appreciate it if you could consider the following improvements.

- Setting to always display "display name + email address" on the email list screen
