When I send a message to anyone using the blind copy option, both the name and email address appears on the recipients copy of the email. This first started in December ( I send Quarterly mailings to several groups.) I have used this program for last couple of years and never had this problem before. What has happened and how can I correct it.

It looks like they are being sent as a blind copy, but they arrive with the email address showing.

I changed my Gmail password and Thunderbird asks me to enter the new one, however, it displays my email address with a lit 'Next' button but the button doesn't take me to the next screen to allow me to enter the password, it just flashes, no matter how many time I click it.

I'm setting up a new computer for an elderly lady. On her old computer she logs straight in to emails. But I want to set up on new computer but it doesn't recognise her email address or password - both are correct. Old computer is not Wifi so modem is connected by a lead. I've been transferring the lead to the new computer - but maybe I don't need to do that? Would that be confusing the configuration?

On October 29, 2017, Mcafee charged me, and deducted from my bank account, $95.39. I'd like to know WHO authorized this payment, because I certainly did not!! I have dealt with Mcafee in the past, but I would NEVER authorize a payment of this amount!!!!

I demand an explanation and refund to my paypal account, which automatically takes it out of my bank account, IMMEDIATELY!!! I do not tolerate any fraud such as this!!!

I will expect to see the refund TOMORROW!!!

We are planning to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email/chat application for our users, however, because our security policies we can not give the passwords to the users. If we can disable the "Saved Password" button or the "Show Passwords" button using the "mozilla.cfg" file, it will be an extraordinary solution. I tried adding some like: lockPref("signonViewerDialog.enabled", false) lockPref("signon.ViewerDialog.enabled", false) They are being shown at the config editor, but not working.

I will appreciate any help!

Thank you.

I have not been able to make a connection to the mail.comcast.net for a day now. I see the connecting bar at the bottom but get a failure that it failed to connect. I cleared the password manager. but no popup appears to enter my password in. So without authentication, it cannot get the email. I can't force the login popup to appear to enter the new password.

Server settings are fine, I am using POP3 which is remaining a valid choice. I use avast, current version (autoupdate) Thunderbird is current too. My firewall is WindowsDef, but Thunderbird is on allowed list. I have briefly turned off both Avast and still no connection. I', not sure if defender is blocking even if I selected it. Comcast of course denies anything as the web interface is fine ATM.

(this is not the router or modem as another laptop using thunderbird (probably older as it's my mother's) opens fine. I have done little else for the last day and have run out of things the check, help>! Thanks

I had 2 gmail addresses in Thunderdbird. For the first one, I just changed the password authentication method to Oauth2 in the server parameters and it instantly made the replication work.

For the second one, I unfortunately deleted the account and couldn't recreate it, even with the "less secured application" set on in the Google Account parameters. I also tried to activate the 2 level connexion method and generate an application password but couldn't find any way to use it in thunderbird. Therefore, I'm stuck with Webmail Gmail application. I have noticed that the connection has been bllocked by Google (see image)

Hope some body can help (this is related to Google security reenforcement actions but seems that Thunderbird is not up to date on this issue).

Please find attached the first page of my troubleshooting info.

After upgrading to Thunderbird 60.2.1, I can no longer send messages. I'm running Linux 4.15.0-38-generic.

I get the attached error saying that I have problems with STARTTLS SMP. However, I have my connection security as SSL/TLS (second attachment). I haven't changed anything for years on my connection security. I successfully sent emails yesterday. Sending still works on my other machine (Windows) with v 59 and the same settings..

Currently unable to set up to an existing account on a new laptop. I’ve verified user name and password on the old laptop, but these don’t work when setting up the new one. The Thunderbird set-up wizard found my configuration in the Mozilla ISP DB, but can’t verify it. In other words, it won’t accept my username or password. I’ve done this for both IMAP and POP3, but it makes no difference. I’ve confirmed user name and password for both smtp and mail folders, and tried them in setting up. However, on the new laptop, Thunderbird doesn’t ask for user name, but just the name as displayed to others. Once I get set up, I’d like to copy my archive into the new system. One thing at a time…

I am shipping a broken computer back to the manufacturer. I had installed Firefox on it using my Firefox account. Since I have used the Firefox password feature to store all my passwords, I'm concerned that someone at the manufacturer could access my passwords. (The computer refused to boot, so I was not able to scrub it prior to sending it back.) My question is this: if I change the Firefox password on my home desktop, will my passwords on the returned computer be protected?

Thanks for any help!

How to disable Enhanced Tracking Protection on all sites and for every FF session. Choosing Custom, and deselecting all check boxes doesn't work.

I have tried the suggestions as described in the following article: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1273784 However, am still having the issue. It's as if the settings are totally ignored. I am using version 108.0a1 of Firefox developer edition. Ideally what am trying to achieve is away to disable all features of ETP. I figured setting it to custom with all values unchecked would have done the trick but it's not working. What works is if I add the site to the list of Exceptions for Enhanced Tracking Protection, then I will see all Ads loaded just fine on the page. However, this is not viable for me as I have a large list of sites that I visit, and I need to see the ads on them.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this feature in FF?

Is there another setting am missing from the previous article?

I have unsubscribed from all newsletter after receiving the first email but days later I'm still getting emails from Firefox (e.g. Superpower #4: See if your info has been leaked).

This is an incredibly bad user experience and to my knowledge illegal in the EU.

I'm probably still within that journey but the journey should terminate the moment I clicked unsubscribed.
