Thunderbird 128.9.0esr (64 bits)

I created various filters manually for the reception of emails. Those last weeks, a lot of messages, even spams, are redirected in my private folders, in spite of defined rules, instead of being simply shipped in the box "incoming messages".!

Thunderbird wants verificationfrom gmail but there is no where i can click locked in page have to ctrl>alt>delete to get out. No where to click on continue. I think the page is too big and aI cant see the next or accept or any other button. Can't use thunderbird to send or to see address or anything else

Thanks for your help

I've long blocked remote images in my Thunderbird messages, and I have pretty good spam filtering at both server and app level, but when spam gets through it's invariably of the "image only" type. That is, an image with the product/scam/junk text and stuff all within the graphic.

Even though I have the Reading & Display setting of "View attachments inline" NOT checked, and the Files & Attachment settings for content type of JPEG Image and PNG Image (and everything else) all set to "Always Ask" –  STILL the images are shown to me when I select the spam message for deletion.

I can't be the only one getting image-based spam, so I'm a bit surprised that I can't find a solution to simply not display image attachments. I do still want to see the original HTML (many emails are a mess in plaintext only), but is there no means to keep the formatting but simply not load & show images?

Again - this is not about REMOTE images, rather image attachments.

Thx if anyone has some input

today I received an email from the thunderbird Newsletter team advising me of a data breach relating to MailChimp. It came on a unique disposable address only used for Thunderbird matters. Everything about it checks out as genuine and the various clickable links are the same as those I received on my original subscription email, but when I tried to use the "change my preferences" link (which again links to the genuine site, I got to a site which said it would send a verification email to my email address h t t p s:/ /thunderbird.us12.list-manage.com/profile/send-email (obfuscated for forum) . No such email arrives. There are NO ways I can see of contacting anyone on the newsletter team. I am trying to change the address used to send the newsletter to me, but am unable to do so as the verification email never arrives. Two questions - is this "important notice about your thunderbird newsletter subscription" genuine, and secondly - how do I update my preferences if I never get the verification email and can't otherwise contact the newsletter team? Thanks for any assistance, I can't see any other way of contacting the team.

It seems to me that Firefox's DoH implementation is not just pointless but actually harmful. It is security theater. Let me explain:

• There is no fine-grained control
• There is no ability for the user to choose what level applies to what networks
• Default Protection provides no protection when there is a canary domain (trivial)
• Increased Protection provides no protection when the default provider fails (trivial)
• Max Protection requires manual intervention when the default provider fails
• Bonus: it's inconvenient or impossible to use on mobile

For DoH to be useful, the user has to invest effort they could better spend setting up a proper system-level solution.

I've seen cites that prove that Mozilla's latest policy updates (thanks for no notice) are now positioning Firefox to sell our data for both ad targeting and AI training purposes. I oppose both, and have no use for Firefox if it joins those already disrespecting and monetizing user privacy in those regards. How do I a) ensure I'm getting the plain language notices of further policy updates, and b) register my dismay with Firefox for this betrayal? While you're coming up with an answer, I'll be discontinuing my monthly support for the Mozilla Foundation. I have HAD IT with the greed people ruining everything.

Previously the yellow banner with the text "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message" had an Options button which allowed me to click "show remote content" or allow subdomains to permanently show remote content. That options button is now missing, and there's only a X button to close the warning banner.

My Privacy settings has "Allow remote content in message" unchecked and there are no Exceptions. On mobile Thunderbird I can still "show remote images" successfully.

v128.4.3, Flatpak

I received an email from breach-alerts@mozilla.com and wanted to know if this is from Mozilla or a scam.

It said it was from Mozilla Monitor and that I was part of a breach

Mozilla Monitor⁩ discovered the following data breach that includes your personal information:

Breach source:

   Orange Romania

Your exposed data:

   Email addresses, Partial credit card data, and Phone numbers

We’ll guide you step-by-step on how to resolve this data breach.

The urls in the email started with https://blrv1ly5.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me, for example:

https://blrv1ly5.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fmonitor.mozilla.org%2Fuser%2Fdashboard%2Faction-needed%2F%3Futm_source=monitor-product%26utm_medium=product-email%26utm_campaign=breach-alert-free-us-no-scan%26utm_content=lets-get-started-us/1/010101954707497e-60e09c39-3a6c-4790-9ec8-1e6c480be653-000000/vhuplzy93ytOGWRRt1XRPcDqVKM=416

I tried to open settings because I need to change account passwords. As soon as I open settings Thunderbird crashes after showing the settings page for half a second. Latest Thunderbird version under latest windows 11 version. Anyone else has this problem? Restarting the PC (miracle cure for problems under windows) did not solve the problem. Anyone else has this? Anyone knows a solution?

I cannot access my accounts passwords, so the problem is rather worrisome and urgent.

places.sqlite: this file records EVERY website I've ever visited in a db table! This despite opting out of History and flushing daily It's frustrating that FF surreptiously collects such personal info. Why record every site I visit, date-timestamps, frequency, etc.?

moz_historyvisits_dateindex ON moz_historyvisits (visit_date) moz_places_lastvisitdateindex

As test, I changed the name to places-sqlite.old to see if FF will create a new one It didn't make a new table; re-created the old one.

I need to update FF because of the expired certificates, but would like to clear these out first. Similarly, can I get rid of the icon database? My bookmarks are backed up as JSON and HTML files. I just wished they didn't contain extraneous info

Please assist or advise why Firefox seems to be slowing down my system by memory usage. I have a handful (6) of tabs open on 1 browser session and my system started slowing down so I checked my task manager and it shows that I have more than a dozen of Firefox instances open chewing up almost 90% of my memory.

Please assist or advise me on how to tweak my browser to perform better, and not to show ghost instances

I'm finding that firefoxcp isolated web content uses a LOT of memory on my Mac Mini. What can I do about this besides not using Firefox. I like the browser and have been using it since its introduction
