Hello, some years ago I found how to prevent FF to ask for the master password too often. Obviously, this setting involved the about:config editing. Now, I'd like to reduce this time because I'm requested for the master password only at FF launching and I cannot find the options I changed. I looked for options with the word "expire", but it doesn't seem to affect the situation. What was the option I changed? Or what is it now (in case latest FF versions have different options)? Thanks

Just build a new PC and moved my Thunderbird and Firefox settings to the new PC. I've done this a few times over the years and it usually works perfectly. However, this time after moving Thunderbird and starting downloading new mail, it is REALLY slow, taking 8-9 seconds to download each message.

I have always used the following locations to keep all the profile data: C:\mozilla.org\Users\Johnny\Thunderbird.slt C:\mozilla.org\Users\Johnny\Firefox.slt

When moving to a new machine, I install a fresh Thunderbird and Firefox, then copy over the entire folder C:\mozilla.org\Users\Johnny to the new machine. I then go and modify C:\Users\Johnny\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles.ini and add a new profile block like this: [Profile2] Name=Johnny IsRelative=0 Path=C:\mozilla.org\Users\Johnny\Thunderbird.slt Default=1 When I brought up Thunderbird, everything looked normal. When I clicked on Get Messages, it first started downloading from my Comcast account, which normally does 2-3 messages per second. It was now taking 8-9 seconds per message. The next account it downloads from is Network Solutions and it is taking just as long for this account.

I've looked around in the TB settings and can't figure out what is happening. I haven't seen this issue with past migrations. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thank you!

I have seen directions on this site on how to update FireFox but I can never seem to get to the 'about page'. I know it has to be simple, but it really does seem to be missing from Help link. I am pretty be sure this is operator error.

The main reason for this is it that I regularly get notices that my Firefox Browser is out of date/needs updating. I have had the auto update switch turned on, I tried to find the page with it off, most recently.

I've been a fan and user of Firefox a few years now...you all do an awesome job keeping it running stable and fast, Thanks ~BH

From "resource monitor" when looking for the origin of the freezing the threads responsible point to ucrtbase.dll Even sending the e-mail is excruciating slow. Any suggestion?
