I hit the "Clear Private Session" icon, confirm, but then I have to go to:

Open Settings >

Privacy and Security >

Browsing Data >

Clear Browsing Data >

"Everything" (every check box has to be checked) >

Clear.

I have Firefox in permanent Private Browsing only, and Privacy and Security Settings are set to Strict / Do Not Fix any site problems.

Why does Firefox retain browsing site data even after I exit out of Fiirefox completely unles I do all of the above?

TB will import but does not display either legible emails nor attachments. I suspect GM at is fault. The takeouts seem incomplete at Zip 11GB. There are 2407 emails in my simple GM account a few with always Adobe PDF legal document attachments. I am new to Thunderbird so that may be a contributor but it looks very straight forward. Perhaps I am a moronic 82? I represent 11,000 disabled Firefighters pro bono in UK and Ireland. Grateful for any help please...Paul

I have 8 email accounts. Four of them use my service provider; "@Bell.net", and four of them are gmail accounts. When I open my Thunderbird app two things happen. A Google web page opens asking "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants access to your Google Account". with a reference to one of my gmail addresses. This web page opens when I shut down Thunderbird as well. Secondly, Thunderbird asks me for the passwords for each of my four Bell accounts. I have tried everything suggested, deleting passwords, deleting profile files, you name it. I've been at this on 4 separate occasions, with this last one lasting 2+ hours. I'm at a complete loss. When I suggest deleting Thunderbird and reloading it, I'm told that may not fix the problem because it would still reference potentially corrupted files. Please help!
