Randomly after certain updates, the browser history gets randomly erased. The cookies are not deleted, so my sign in information is retained across my usual website (no issue here).

I wanted to report this as it happened twice around the past two weeks and it was inconvenient.

Just moved to TB after 20 years on Mac Mail. Loving it so far, for the most part.

One thing I REALLY do not like is the 'browser behaviour' of Thunderbird. I do not want a second browser on my machine to worry about securing and preventing privacy leaks etc. I have a browser, it's carefully set up, and it's the only i want on my system.

So is there a way to stop TB behaving like a browser? I see questions about 3rd party cookies, they were turned on, and I'm glad I spotted that (could easily have missed it). Can I just turn off all firefox like behaviour? what about "Chat"? I have no use for that.

Thanks

PS - If anyone knows of a way to export my Mac Calendar data to TB, I might try the Calendar function out :)

Currently, there appears to be only one option to tell Firefox to open a given site in a specific container; that is, from the URL bar, to the right.

Would it make sense to have this configuration option presented in "edit bookmark" and/or in a right-click pulldown menu "Always open in this container"?

Cookie-deletion and blocking fails for this site.

I'm using the current Firefox-ESR for Linux x86_64. Under Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data > Manage Exceptions, I blocked http:174.138.51.92 and https:174.138.51.92 several weeks ago. But Manage Data shows 10 cookies last used 45 minutes ago, and Remove Selection for these cookies fails (incidentally retaining the "last used" value), even when repeated multiple times as fast as I can mouse the select, then Remove Selection, then Save Changes then Manage Data .

How can I delete these cookies and site data? And why does it fail for this site and this site only? And how can I block them permanently, short of black-holing that site in /etc/hosts?
