2 days ago i could send messages. now I cant. I removed the smtp address like the help section told me to after getting the "Login to account "Google Mail" " dialog box and subsequent retrying of a good password had failed... I havent changed my password and am able to login directly to gmail no problem. thunderbird has the correct /same password but still the dialog box shows. I see the 0auth password ( also attached) but its too long to copy and paste so must be gernerated by google. I tried this after I got the send message error ( also attached) and tried what it said...

Also attached are the current saved logins etc minus the smtp I deleted.... The authentication method is set to 0Auth2.

what am I missing? thanks

The reason I am here is because I am worried about the insecurity on internet. I have been using it for years but now I realize every single person is vulnerable. I honestly did not know how easy they can steal your information from your computers, or any device you use to surf on the web. And that is not right. I think that situation has to change and if there is any way I could help to generate a change i am here.

Hi,

I used to use Thunderbird to access Gmail, Yahoo mail and normal email account (all POP3).

I have updated (not reinstall) Thunderbird to the latest version since Gmail disabled non secure apps access.

I have changed the Authentication to OAuth by follow the instruction from your page, but the system keep asking me to login (I have grant access in Gmail).

This happens not only Gmail as well as my Yahoo mail and normal POP3 account. I am sure the password is correct and still cannot get my emails from all of my accounts.

I also notice the token/password has not been saved to the system in Saved Password session. ( I have tried to run as administrator but still doesn't work.)

What have I missed? Can still using POP3 method to get email if problem solved?

My current system is Win7 with Thunderbird 32bit installed.

Thanks!!

My Thunderbird account passwords in "saved Passwords" are the same as my gmail passwords but Thunderbird startup fails every time with the following message

"Sending of password for user account.name@googlemail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.googlemail.com responded: Username and password not accepted."

I have tried deleting the passwords and re-entering them and I have also tried deleting the entries in the saved password file but nothing seems to help. I have also tried deleting the logins.json, key4.db and cert9.db files.

I have lots of emails and subdirectories and don't want to do anything that might risk those.

HELP please!

Brgds.

I'm using Thunderbird v 91.10.0. SMTP set as per attachment. Still receive "Login to server imap.googlemail.com with username X failed." What else do I need to check? I've browsed a few online suggestions and everything seems to be correctly configured, but obviously something is missing. Please help!

I couldn't even get on Google yesterday because the hackers are so smart or they just have a great device to hack accounts and I want you to send the hackers to prison ASAP. I already know that they are my at least 2 neighbors and 1 I rent to now and then the other hackers are staying so close to my garage that they can get into my spectrum wifi router and then they have broken into my garage and stole my passwords and then over $1,000.00 in cash and gold, etc. This is a brand new Gmail account now and they have probably seen the passwords already I would think!!!

Hi everyone,

I recently downloaded a version of Thunderbird 38 for use on an older Mac (older than the one I’m using to create this post). Now, I’m trying to set up OAuth2 to comply with Google’s new requirements for Gmail, but the final steps (authentication, generation of an OAuth2 token) never finish. This is what I’ve done so far:

The Gmail account that I want to set up with OAuth2 is set to IMAP for incoming (I had to create a new account in Thunderbird for this) and SMTP for outgoing. OAuth2 is selected in TB for both servers. The Google login window pops up, and I can enter my information and click “Allow” for TB to access my Google Account. After that, though, the process just runs. There’s a blue circle near the top left corner of the TB window (next to the word “Inbox”) that keeps spinning, and a line of diagonal blue stripes in a small graphic at the bottom of the window keeps moving to the right, but nothing else happens. This will go on for hours if I let it. I can take other actions in TB (change settings, etc.) while this is going on, and no error message ever appears.

I should also note that I get alerts from Google (which I can access via other devices) about a new sign-in, and the computer in question shows up in my Google Account screens as being signed into my account. I have also recognized the new sign-ins by clicking the “Yes, it was me” button. Therefore, it appears that TB has successfully connected to my Google Account; I just don’t know why the authentication won’t complete itself. Should I let it run, even with the understanding that it might take several hours?

Here are some further details, based on what I’ve read while doing research on my own:

-Cookies are enabled in TB (“Accept always,” “Keep until they expire”). -Two Google-based cookies have appeared (google.com, accounts.google.com). -My computer’s firewall is off for the time being. I don’t have any antivirus software, as this is a Mac. -My “User Name” in the Server Settings window is my full e-mail address. -There is nothing written in the “Saved Passwords” window. -I’ve tried shutting my computer down entirely and then restarting the authentication process. -I don’t think my computer can run any versions of TB that are later than 38. -Specific incoming/outgoing settings: IMAP port 993, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 for incoming; SMTP port 587, STARTTLS, OAuth2 for outgoing.

I really need to access my Gmail on this computer, but am not a tech person and have run out of ideas to try on my own. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated! And, of course, I’d be happy to provide additional details if necessary.

Thank you!!

P.S. If it would be simpler to use my original POP account with 2-factor authentication, then I would be open to doing that instead. I just haven’t been able to find out if “app passwords” are compatible with TB 38.

Getting error SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN on all my sites that are signed with a SSL Cert from my internal CA since updating past version 99

This appears to be a bug starting after Firefox version 99 on Windows because after i upgraded to Firefox version 100 i started getting this on all my SSL Certs from my CA and they worked fine prior to the update. Can anyone confirm if something changed after version 100 that is causing this?

Thank you.

After upgrading to v101, Firefox no longer recognizes my Self-signed wildcard SSL for *.local.dev.

Before you tell me not to use the .dev domain, I am aware that Google owns it and we're technically not supposed to do local development with the *.local.dev domain.

I have already tried the following: 1. Set network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist to FALSE, and everything was working perfectly fine before v101 2. imported the server.crt into Trusted Root Authorities in Windows, and also imported it in the Certificate manager in Firefox. 3. Tried other wildcard local domains like *.test.site, *.local.ddev and these don't work either.

I even tried following recent guides to issue a new certificate with openssl and SAN, and it still doesn't work.

Screenshot of wildcard SSL attached.

I am using Firefox Version 101.0.1 (64-bit) for Desktop Windows 10 64bit (newest version (see question date for lookup info)).

This problem I could not find anywhere in this Firefox self support community. I think I discovered a bug in the firefox settings, but it might just be me missing something, but I doubt it, being familiar with the settings and them being clearly worded.

I can not seem to get my firefox to save the website always allowed to keep cookies stored between sessions (and their cookies / other data obviously also don't get saved between sessions). - maybe there arises a problem with the setting of never saving history between sessions?

Please, have a look at my current settings below (two screenshots): <image 1 (longer one)> <image 2 (shorter one, custom history settings)>

The settings being written as they are should mean that the always allowed websites should never have their cookies deleted between sessions, regardless of their history (their being visited) being deleted. To me this is frustrating and appears like a bug and not a feature.

Maybe is history is deleted all site permissions and data get deleted, too? - (If yes, that is clearly not what the settings suggest, and if it is supposed to work like this, I strongly suggest the Firefox Dev.s team to fix the confusion or add some feature work-around to suit my use-case. The internet is not a safe place anymore, generally, but some parts are, let me trust your settings do what the say they do, at the very least. Thanks in advance.)

I have been getting this message since January and am starting to be concerned

Secure connection failed start.thunderbird.net uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired. Error code: <a id="errorCode" title="SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE">SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE</a>

  This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
  If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Or you can add an exception… When I click on add an exception nothing happens. I tried closing Thunderbird, deleting my cert8.db file and restarting Thunderbird - no change - same message. I am running Windows 10, Thunderbird version 45.8.0

Help, please ! Thanks, Sarah

I am running Windows 7 and have Thunderbird 91.10. Just went through your instructions to update to OAuth 2.0 (Well done BTW). When I try to get new documents I am immediately diverted to the log in page for my Google Account. Any suggestions on ways to avoid this? Thanks.

How do I create a TLS 1.0, 1.1 exception in Firefox 100.0+ for my legacy devices (NAS), that no longer get firmware updates from the manufacture, that are on my private network and thier configuration is done through a web browser?

 I have been using Firefox browser for a long time, since it was called Mozilla browser.  An answer such as "I'm out of luck." means I will have to look for a new browser.  I prefer not to do that.  I trust the Mozilla brand and like you products and recommend them to my friends and customers.

Gmail is going to require OAuth 2.0 sign-in SFAIK, that means I will no longer be able to access gmail with Thunderbird. Are there plans for Thunderbird to meet the OAuth 2.0 requirement?

browser.sessionstore.resuming_after_OS_restart = false. My browser still restores on os restart. Startup -> Restore previous windows and tabs is unchecked browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes = 0 browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand = false browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash = false

I do not and will not manually close my browser session every time I want to shut down my computer in order to get it to do what it's supposed to. Linux sends SIGTERM to all running processes on shutdown. Firefox isn't handling this correctly, obviously, because if it was, then my settings would be getting respected. SIGTERM is the standard signal sent to windows that need to close gracefully and are expected to still be functional.

NOTE: Do not provide windows-specific support to this thread. I am not running firefox on windows, and I do not possess a windows computer or license.

Using FF 101 on Andtoid phone. If I do not use Android's "general" PW then how do I protect FF PWs if I

lend to a friend for a minute? There's no primary PW. So how's it done? Is there any change FF will ever have a primary (master) PW again? Thanks

This isn't a question about the "Multi-Account Containers" addons, I am pretty sure that there was a section called "Container tabs" in the privacy and security settings, and I could use containers without installing an addon some days ago.

I can still access by directly viewing this address

about:preferences#containers

But I can't find it in the settings, and this feature does no longer work.

So I went to read recent release notes from Firefox 100 to 101.0.1, but I didn't find any notes to say this feature has been disabled. Could this be an unexpected result of an update?

My PC died last week and I now have it back with a new hard drive (SSD). It's running Windows 10 and so far I have installed Firefox and Kaspersky Total Security, all of which I used previously. I have now installed Thunderbird but am unable to access my account. The password and configuration settings have been triple checked. Any suggestions re what I can try next please?
