In Evolution, I can hit 'CTL/i' to view remote content in a message, in Thunderbird I have to either authorize a sender (which would then allow ALL of their remote content to be displayed), or use the mouse to allow the content on individual messages (a key-click is SO much more convenient).

Please save me scrolling through pages of shortcuts and just let me know if there is a shortcut key for this function in Thunderbird. Having to use the mouse is a minor annoyance, but it is absolutely an annoyance when one moves over from Evolution.

Password Manager (Lack of) Security

I have appreciated Firefox for many years, so long in fact that I no longer have access to the email address that I signed up with. I have had no reason to access my account so I did not realise that it was out of date. I was accessing my account to check that I had two-factor protection and since I could not access the account I decided to create a new account and used the help pages to move my profile to the new account. I was able move my profile and access all my bookmarks and PASSWORDS! I simply uninstalled Firefox, moved my profile to another location, downloaded Firefox and copied the old profile over the newly created profile. I opened Firefox and could open the password manager and see all my passwords. I could not believe how easily I could access all the sensitive information. I needed no password - just access to the profile. This profile will be saved on any computer that I have used to log into Firefox. Anyone with access to those computers could easily repeat what I was able to do. This is a serious secuirty flaw and I simply can't believe I was able to do this!!!!!

Hello,

The purpose of private mode is obvious from its name, then I wonder why Private mode uses the same download folder as the regular mode. It's not so private if files downloaded during Private mode go into an easily accessible and permanent folder. Following the logic of everything else in Private mode, there should be at least an option to have downloads go into a temp folder that gets deleted when leaving Private mode.

Why is there no way to select a download folder from Private mode that differs from the normal mode?

I don't follow this logic.

Hi, I saw the post and answer about starting Firefox in Safe Mode in order to get a video to play when it gives an error message about the privacy settings.

This works but I would like to find a solution that doesn't require me to start in safe mode. I recently updated to the new version of Firefox that stops some cookie tracking and I suspect this is why the videos stopped working on a site I use often.

Is there something I can change in settings to allow videos to play on sites where it gives me a privacy/security error message?

Thank you!

I have just completely reinstalled Thunderbird v115.11.1 after uninstalling the previous installation. There are two problems, possibly linked to a faulty or missing setting.

Remote images will not display, even after specifically enabling remote images for each email, or after turning on "display remote content" as a default. Also it claims there is a potential security threat with Thunderbird's own web addresses: "live.thunderbird.net." and "addons.thunderbird.net.".

I have attached screen-shots of the error messages, and of a thunderbird email that fails to display its images.

hi, I assumed that I am allowed to use your latest version of Firefox browser at my work but have received company's email (not spam) today:

Hi, today I got this message at the end of a couple of my email conversations (with different recipients). I checked the webmail, I cecked my phone using outlook app, and my mac using Apple Mail, and that message isn't there, only in Thunderbird.

It is the last in the conversation but it is not actually an email, it doesn't have anything in the From or Subject fields, and the content of the message is this:

"u + #body a { font-size: inherit !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; line-height: inherit !important; }

using Firefox Developer Edition Version 130.0b5 (64-bit)

https-only mode is enabled for all windows enabled, with a couple exceptions. one of those exceptions is www.bom.gov.au , which does not support that mode. anytime someone tries to open a page from there in said mode, leads to a page that redirects to it's homepage, highlighting that it is unsupported, and changing from any specific url to the redirect url.

in the past it worked well to have this page listed under the exceptions for https-only, always loaded without a hitch. but now it's treating the page as not an exception. i've removed it from the exception list and tried loading, re-added and tried loading, but the result is always the same. can anyone please help?

I’m very worried someone has synced all my usernames and password off my browser using this account. Should I be worried?? there are multiple failed attempts to login, in the screenshot attached.

If this account was a Firefox service then why did I get an email all of a sudden and never before? There is nothing about this FIREFOX-SYNC-CLIENT online apart from a GitHub article here: https://github.com/Mikescher/firefox-sync-client

it feels like a hacker might of used this sync method to steal my my saved Usernames and passwords. I'm worried and thought i'd ask before I change all my passwords.
