I don't know if this is a system wide iOS issue or something specific to Firefox, but I'm not able to disable link preview when long pressing a link. I was able to disable it in Safari which also disabled it in iMessage, but link previews are still showing up in Firefox and Firefox Focus. It's very surprising for a browser focused on privacy and security. I should not have to make a connection to another server in order to see the URL behind a link. Automatically downloading from an unknown URL opens my device up to zero day exploits and privacy violations. Does anyone know how to disable this completely or submit a bug report to Firefox?

/edit: moved thread from (desktop) Firefox to Firefox for iOS section.

HTTP/3 doesn't work regardless of my config:

network.http.http3.enable = true network.dns.httpssvc.http3_fast_fallback_timeout = 0 network.http.http3.priority = true

and https://cloudflare-quic.com/ and console still show I'm using HTTP/2. Tried on Firefox nightly and chromium (chromium works fine but firefox doesn't.)

Firefox for Android allows you to register WebAuthn credentials and save them to "this device". You can test this at https://webauthn.io/ . However, I have not been able to find a way to view or remove those credentials saved to "this device". What is the location of where those credentials are saved, and how do I remove them?

Note that these credentials are not visible in Settings > Logins and passwords > Saved logins. That section seems to only be for saved passwords and does not include WebAuthn credentials.

instagram.com not asking for notification permission, so I'm not able to receive notifications from this site.

Someone else experiencing this? Is there something that I and/or Firefox and/or Instagram can do to fix this?

I am starting to plan my upgrade from Thunderbird 52.9.1 to 115. 115 seems a little immature at present, so I'll be waiting until the new year before I do the upgrade but there are a lot of issues so I'll need the time to deal with those anyway.

I have 11 email accounts. Half of those have S/MIME certificates which I get from actalis.it. They are free and have to be renewed each year. Each year a new certificate is created and imported in to Thunderbird.

I use an add on called "security settings from address book" which allows me to automatically encrypt emails to recipients who have a flag set in the custom fields. This addon is not supported in Thunderbird 115, but I'm hoping the new certificate functions in 115 will work. I will not be using OpenPGP, Enigmail or GNUPG.

As each email address gets a new certificate each year I have to import each certificate to be able to access these older emails. So my question is this;

I assume if I don't import the certificates for each account for every year I will be unable to access the emails that were sent/received during the valid period of the related certificates - is that correct?

How will this affect people with whom I sent/received encrypted emails? Are they going to have to upgrade to 115 at the same time? I would have thought that as long as they have their certificates already installed in the same manner in which I had in my old Thunderbird they would not have to do anything?

Unrelated to encryption/digital signatures, I've just had a thought... Am I going to come across any issues pointing Thunderbird 115 to my existing mail folders?

I believe there is no "upgrade path". I have to do all of this from scratch?

I have about a 1,000 filters. Everything gets moved out of the inbox for the account into one or more folders on the Local Folders, where all of my mail folders reside. Can I copy the msgfilters.dat file for each account to the new installation and it will work? Or am I going to have to create all of the filters from scratch too?

thanks.

I used to understand this stuff, but have now aged out (91) and am totally lost. In the old days, starting with the 3-bar menu symbol, there was a followable path to reach the place where Thunderbird stored the passwords needed to get access to one's ISP accounts. If that still exists, I can't now find it.

I have a new Dell laptop that I am trying to activate. Comcast does not accept the PWs (that I have written down), so I want to find them on this older machine where they still work. Following TB's instructions, the expected "Saved Passwords" box does not appear; instead we get "Saved Logins". "Logins" is apparently a synonym for what I might call "retail" passwords, used to access bank, vendor, &c accounts, but these are distinct from network-access accounts. (In general, I think TB fails to distinguish adequately between the two password categories, but that's another question.)

So the question is: how do I get access to the ISP passwords stored on this old, working, machine, so that I can transfer them to the new one?

Hi folks,

I've been using Thunderbird successfully with my Earthlink email for a couple of months (Windows 10)

Today suddenly, sending stopped working. Here's the error message:

Sending of the message failed. The Outgoing server (SMTP) smtpauth.earthlink.net does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing Server (SMTP)

I have the correct settings for Earthlink (STARTTLS, port 587), and sending has been fine until today.

When it first happened, I rebooted the PC and then it started working again.

Trying again later, it stopped being able to send.

Someone posted that the issue can be solved by sending and receiving insecurely, but that is not a solution!

I was also using Encrypted Password with no problem, and today that started causing an error message, forcing me to reset to Normal Password.

I keep getting this message when trying send an email: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: TLS not available.

I am receiving emails fine and can send via my phone but not my pc. thx

Hello, I just re installed Windows 10 and the current version of Thunderbird Mail 115.2.2 64 bit.

My issue is setting up my Proto Mail using the Proton Mail Bridge Program (Which worked for me before the re install). I am having an issue with the Certificate. I have reached out to Proton Mail also but have not had a response yet. I use all the server settings Proton asks us to use but Thunderbird does not see the Certificate as valid.

I can not send mail properly and after initial setup Thunderbird stops updating new mail from Proton

Any help would be appreciated

Regards, Ken

Something in the last few Firefox updates is now preventing me from logging into the admin interface of my home router (Sonicwall TZ570) and wifi access point controller (Unify Cloud Key). I have had these devices for several years and Firefox has always allowed me to make an exception and connect to the "unsecure device. Microsoft Edge is giving me the same problem which started about the same time a couple of weeks ago. I am on the latest version of Windows 10 64bit and Firefox is up to date. The Brave browser still works as it should (see first screenshot), but Firefox gives me the "we could not verify the certificate: reason = untrusted" error with no way around it (see second screenshot). I do not have HTTPS Only Mode enabled (see last screenshot) and I don't see any other security setting that should affect this.

This is my home, not a business and I do not have a domain nor a SSL certificate and I should not need one.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
