I see this question was asked before (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1415951) but the thread is now archived and I don't think the concern of the poster was understood/answered.

Your Thunderbird profile contains all the credentials needed to "be you" by having full access to all linked email accounts. In order to protect these accounts a Private Password can be created. It prevents someone trying to use Thunderbird as you (using your profile) from seeing the passwords or establishing connections to the email servers.

The question I have (and I believe was being asked) is, does using a Private Password actually encrypt the account credentials, or does it just block someone when they're using the Thunderbird program? Asked another way, would a bad actor with access to the profile and access to appropriate sleuthing tools be able to recover the credentials--from the files alone--thus bypassing the private password of the Thunderbird program?

I am using the most current version of Firefox with Windows 10. At this web site: https://tenthousandpots.com/ , I am unable to browse the majority of the site i.e., no products appear when selected. I also tried DuckDuckGo and had the same issue. However, when I downloaded and accessed the site via Google Chrome, the site worked as it should. I reached out to the TenThousandPots site and advised them of this and they said they've had no similar reports. Can anyone advise?

outrageous, i moved from windows to debian for the purpose of exceling my ram capacity on this low spec netbook with 4GB 3.7GB usable with emmc chip and a celeron n4000 cpu turns out ff eats just like in windows.

I am not an expert just savy, remember the time when upgrading from 32MB to 64MB was a big leap? well where the hell did 4GB of ram became obsolete? so there's no windows conspiracy just exponential ram usage?

Is there a different version of FF i could use for this 4GB machine? non-upgradable I could always try vivaldi or look else where but i trust FF for base security. I am using ublock origin on the machine too and 1 custom theme but i doubt that fixes the root cause. Is all the internet in the 2020s this ram voracious beast?

upon loading a empty tab FF uses 500MB for itself forget about the 64MB system ram from the 90s is FF 2025 really so complex or is this a conspiracy? then i load startpage.com and it uses 200MB!! of ram just on that search form man.

A few days ago my Thunderbird client was downloading messages. I could not see the email that was to be downloaded next. However, a notice appeared, apparently from a hacker that was ending the next email. It was asking me to let it override some information that allowed me to get messages. Then a popup from Thunderbird displayed. It said no decent public site would ask to override anything. So I clicked CANCEL. This happened repeatedly. I kept clicking CANCEL. But no emails downloaded, only the message. Then I got help from the Dell tech support that I paid for when buying the computer. It has always been very effective fixing problems, even if they were not with the computer itself. They could not fix the problem. I can see and answer my emails on Primus webmail. Now. no more emails download in the Thunderbird client after. So apparently some setting has been overridden. I got in touch with Primus, and they told me what to reset the port to, but nothing has been downloaded. I am able to send emails from the Thunderbird client. They told me that the server connection (IMAP) was the same port for send and receive. When I click Get Messages in the Thunderbird client, it says something like Checking server availability. But no new emails download. I have read this from Thunderbird:

"To manually configure an account, you will need to have the following details which can be supplied by your email provider. incoming mail server and port (for example, "pop.example.com" and port 110 or "imap.example.com" and port 143) outgoing mail server and port (for example, "smtp.example.com" and port 25) security setting for the connection with the server (for example, "STARTTLS" or "SSL/TLS" and whether or not to use secure authentication) First, open the Account Settings: In the Thunderbird menu bar, click the ToolsEdit menu and select Account Settings, or click the Application menu button and select OptionsPreferences and Account Settings from the sub-menu." I have tried all this to no avail.

What can I do to get email to download to the Thunderbird client? Can I uninstall the Thunderbird and reinstall without disturbing my Webmail? I would be happy for any help you can give me! Thanks!

I am getting an annoying popup stating that Dan.Hromada@citizensforfreespeech.org is asking for my Google password....this email account is not associated at all with Google or Gmail. It's hosted on the organization's server. Please see the screenshot of the pop-up.

Thank you, Dan Hromada

E-mail stopped working. T-bird doesn't respond to "send e-mail" to address book. Something to do with an invalid information and encryption. T-Bird worked fine yesterday. This is a very recent development. Help. Thank you.

My account was probably hacked. I noticed this from an email I received from Mozilla. My account was logged in from Africa, which i noticed from the timezone because the email gives literally no detail. I logged into my account to kick them out but i found out i couldnt because the button didnt work. All the other kick buttons worked except the hackers. Mozilla has done nothing other than to email me.

I cannot find a way to block websites in Firefox on my iPhone 13 Pro. I found questions in this forum but the answers don’t give a way to actually block websites that are popping up. All that such answers described are ways to “limit” websites in iOS. I don’t just want to limit these malicious dues. I want them blocked. The iOS tool doesn’t allow me to limit them to less than a minute per day. This makes no sense to me.
