Hi Everyone, My Bank has suddenly decided that ALL cookies must be allowed before letting their customers in -- a requirement with which I wholly disagree. My FireFox is set to block anything that moves, and supported by Ad Blockers and Ublock too. Is there a way in which I can configure FF to allow me into the Bank site without having to change my "secure" settings every time? I am no computer genius - so please make it simple for me.

Thanks everyone.

The check box 'Ask to save logins and passwords for web sites' keeps unchecking itself. It used to work fine. Now, it doesn't. And consequently, the sub-item 'Autofill logins and passwords' won't work either.

Every time I open the browser to login to a website that has the login details saved, nothing happens. I have to go into settings every time and re-check the main checkbox (i.e. 'Ask to save...') in order to also activate 'Autofill...'.

This is really frustrating and annoying. Why won't the box stay checked? Hope you can come up with an answer. Many thanks.

I am using the latest Thunderbird 91.2.1 under Windows 10.

Passwords are not being saved even when I click to save with password manager.

Older posts suggest deleting:

  \Users\userid\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\defaultProfile\pkcs11.txt
  

but this file is not present in the latest version.

An earlier version of Thunderbird was uninstalled before the latest version was downloaded and installed.

Hello, I use dark mode extensions extensively :) and I really dislike light mode pages. However, Mozilla pages refuse to be changed due to the fact that they are "protected" by default.

I don't really care for this protection. Can it be disabled?

Thunderbird vs. Monterey Security & Privacy Setting

I just got my new MacBook Pro running Monterey (12.0.1) and migrated everything over from my old, workhorse 2015 MBP running Mojave (10.14.6). And with the change, Thunderbird no longer accesses email addresses in my Mac's Contacts application.

The big difference appears to be in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Contacts. In my old computer, Thunderbird appears in the window listing applications with access to the data in Contacts. In my new one, it is absent and I see no way to add it. Plenty of my old applications appear in that window (including one which cannot run in the new OS). I see no button to add the application to the Contacts access list. Is there some way to do it from within Thunderbird?

Thanks!

Hello,

This morning when I opened Thunderbird it wouldn't accept my master/primary password. I've used the same one for years, so I know I've not forgotten it. Plus it worked yesterday!

Only thing that seems to have changed is the update to Thunderbird 91.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I used to be able to send emails using Thunderbird to Office365 using SMTP, but it is no longer working, although I'm still receiving emails.

Getting the following error: Login to server smtp.office365.com with username ***@*** failed

Settings Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Encryption: STARTTLS

The problem occurs with Windows and also Mac OS (I installed Thunderbird to help troubleshoot).

I'm using Office 365 Family, so there is no option to manage the users, as there is in the business version, and which has been suggested by others with the same problem.

It's unclear to me if the problem lies with Thunderbird or Microsoft (I suspect the latter). Any advice would be very welcome.

I had a yahoo account configured on my laptop with Thunderbird and it worked flawlessly. I need to change to a gmail account, so I edited the account settings, changed the email addresses, changed the IMAP & SMTP settings etc. to the new gmail settings. I am able to receive mail just fine, but am unable to send mail. I get a yahoo prompt to sign in each time I try to send mail (attached). I close that prompt and then receive a message

Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com. Please check the password and verify in Account Settings.

I have removed saved passwords and verified all settings. Could there still be something hanging on from the old yahoo account? At this point I have uninstalled TB, reinstalled, removed all accounts, recreated them. Nothing seems to allow me to authenticate to the SMTP server.

I am using Port 465, server name smtp.gmail.com, Authentication method OAuth2 and connection is SSL/TLS.

Any other ideas? Thank you! Lisa

I go to yahoo.com and look at articles on that web site. When I click on the article I see a grey box with no content. I have turned off hardware acceleration. I have no add ons except roboform which I use for storing passwords. I have removed all cookies and temp files using CCleaner. Yahoo.com works with no alterations in Chrome and Edge. I like Firefox but do not understand why default settings do not work with Yahoo.com. I am using version 95.0 64bit on a Win 11 machine.
