When I visit an http site and specify a non-standard port, it automatically changes to https, which is not a site redirect but something Firefox changes. This site already has an https service, and the http service will redirect to https. I reproduced the same situation in chrome. Accessing the http service with a non-standard interface was normal. After accessing the https service once, the service with the non-standard port was also changed to https. Clearing the data will restore it. Is this cached? My HTTPS-Only Mode is turned off, and set an exception for this site. thx.

Hello,

All of a sudden, this morning, my Thunderbird (102.12.0) will not sync my Office365 account's inbox via IMAP. I get the error message that

The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account [my university account] responded: User is authenticated but not connected.

A couple of seconds later, the above message is replaced by:

Server outlook.office365.com has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem.

The problem occurs on my laptop and on my desktop. I am sure all my settings are correct. I have read the entire thread here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/thunderbird-imap-responded-user-is-authenticated/062a82f6-e678-4462-88b7-dd6cc318386f

I have disabled IPV6 as instructed in the preferred answer: advanced config > network.dns.disableIPv6 = true.

I have also added network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains = office365.com (I also tried outlook.office365.com).

I am using Kaspersky One antivirus. When I installed it, I had to add Outlook in the trusted addresses, as it wouldn't let me send email, but after I did, Thunderbird was again working as expected (this was two months ago). I am adding this detail just in case it is somehow relevant.

I am not sure when Thunderbird updated to 102.12.0 or if this is in any way related to the problem.

Meanwhile, I can sync incoming mail in my Gmail app on Android. I saw that the IMAP setting there uses port 443 instead of 993. When I tried setting 443 in Thunderbird, it simply took too long to connect to the server and timed out.

I don't know what else to try. Hopefully, you can think of a solution.

Hi, I accidentally allowed notifications (while using Firefox) from a particular web site only to find out that now I get numerous notifications regarding phony virus alerts, etc. I am unable to block the notifications.

I searched the web for how to block a notification from a web site, but have not come up with any solutions.

In particular, I went to about:preferences > Privacy & Security > Permissions > Notifications. The web site is set to Block, but still the unwanted notifications continue. Perhaps the notifications are coming from a different web site that seems to be hidden?

I also quit Firefox and restarted Firefox, but the notifications continue. I also restarted my Macbook Pro, but that didn’t help either.

Here is the link I originally clicked on, but I obviously wouldn’t want anyone to click on it:

I would be so grateful if anyone has a solution!

From Sept-16-2024 Microsoft will deprecate Normal Password and require OAuth2 authentication on its email accounts accessed from Thunderbird and other clients.

I'm trying to convert my hotmail accounts on Thunderbird to OAuth2 authentication.

Server Settings Authentication can be set to OAuth2 because OAuth2 is an option in that menu.

But SMTP Server Authentication cannot be set to OAuth2 because OAuth2 is not an option in that menu.

Both Connection Security methods ( Inbound and SMTP ), are set to STARTTLS.

See screenshots, thank you.

Hi.

I need to print out my saved passwords. I have no cellphone to access, just my laptop and printer. I only use Firefox and no other browser. If my laptop gets hacked or breaks down, then I need to use someone else's computer to access my passwords in an emergency, and can't access my passwords to do so...so printing them out periodically is the smartest thing I can think of.

Help, anyone? This is pretty important to me. Thank you!

In addendum to the below: I am now up to TB v 121.0.1 and still have this issue of untrusted S/MIME signatures from DoD sources. As I also have a DoD email, I can send myself test messages. If I send an unencrypted message from my DoD email in reply to to an S/MIME signed message from TB, I get the behavior described below in the original post, where my DoD S/MIME signature is not valid. If I reply to the same signed TB email with an encrypted message from my DoD email, TB decrypts the message but still says my signature is not valid. However, the "invalid" message is slightly different with an additional clue - the message states that "This message includes a digital signature, but the signature is invalid. The message was signed using an encryption strength that this version of your software does not support." See snips 4 (error)+ 5 (successful decryption) below. Is it possible that the newer signature certificates from DoD use an encryption strength that cannot be decrypted by TB, yet the message encryption works? Another clue is that it appears I can send encrypted emails to some DoD recipients (but not all) even if their signature is invalid.

Original Post: I have received a signed email from a DoD sender in TB v115.5.1. The S/MIME icon states the Digital Signature is Not Valid (png below), consequently, the cert was not imported into the TB Certificate Manager. I have updated the DoD Root Certificates, and ensured that the most commonly used DoD Root certs and Email certs have trust settings that identify web sites and mail users (add'l png examples). I cannot examine the cert I received in TB, although I seem to recall I could by clicking on the icon in earlier versions of TB.

How can I: 1) Identify the certificate authorities for the invalid cert to ensure they are trusted? 2) Examine and import the certificate from the user? This is not unique to a single user, it happens with DoD emails whose certs were not already in my Certificate Manager, and the organization I commonly communicate with is changing everyone's email, so everyone is getting new certs. This prevents me from sending encrypted emails to the recipients.

Hi Everyone, My Bank has suddenly decided that ALL cookies must be allowed before letting their customers in -- a requirement with which I wholly disagree. My FireFox is set to block anything that moves, and supported by Ad Blockers and Ublock too. Is there a way in which I can configure FF to allow me into the Bank site without having to change my "secure" settings every time? I am no computer genius - so please make it simple for me.

Thanks everyone.

Hello, Microsoft Defender did a scan tonight and apparently detected a trojan script, located in the folders for Firefox extensions for both profiles I use on my computer

Trojan description: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml

Files: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[default profile]\extensions\langpack-fr@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[second profile]\extensions\langpack-fr@firefox.mozilla.org.xpi

This scan happened at 9pm, and a previous scan at 6pm didn't show anything. When it detected the script, MS Defender contained it and apparently deleted it when it asked me to restart the computer, I then did a full offline scan and nothing else showed up, same with a full scan with the free version of Malwarebytes. I didn't do anything unusual between 6pm and 9pm, so I'd like to know if there's a way to determine whether that script was an actual threat (instead of a false alarm)? If so, any way to know how long it has been on my computer? Any further risks to take into consideration? Other steps to follow? Thanks for the help

Hello!

I always use private browsing so I thought that my history was totally not being saved, but discovered recently that when I started to type within the search field, that many of my past searches were listed in the search field with the type highlighted in purple. I had to manually go in and delete all of these past searches. I don't want any search history to be saved. Is there a setting in preferences that I'm somehow missing? Why is Firefox saving these past searches if I have it set to Always Use Private Browsing?

Thank you!

I am running Firefox 118.0.2 64 bit on windows 10 22H2. For one particular website I get a 403 error on Firefox, the site opens normally on Edge. I do not have any add ons or extensions that block websites. I have cleared cache and cookies and tried to open the site in troubleshooting mode, no luck. I have also disabled BitDefender, same results. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have tried the suggestions as described in the following article: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1273784 However, am still having the issue. It's as if the settings are totally ignored. I am using version 108.0a1 of Firefox developer edition. Ideally what am trying to achieve is away to disable all features of ETP. I figured setting it to custom with all values unchecked would have done the trick but it's not working. What works is if I add the site to the list of Exceptions for Enhanced Tracking Protection, then I will see all Ads loaded just fine on the page. However, this is not viable for me as I have a large list of sites that I visit, and I need to see the ads on them.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this feature in FF?

Is there another setting am missing from the previous article?

I don't have the option to see or edit my saved credit cards in firefox's settings, autofill still works but I can't make any changes to my cards. I went into about:config and made sure both of the below setting are set to true and they were and it's still not working, there are no settings to change the autofill

extensions.formautofill.creditCards.enabled extensions.formautofill.creditCards.available

When using the Export Logins feature to create a .csv file, the last few fields don't seem to translate into any known date-stamp format in Excel. The data seems to have relative chronological value, but I can't make sense of it in a spreadsheet.

Can a developer check this and modify the output of those fields so it's more compatible?

Example:

 Header             Cell data
 ----------------------------

timeCreated 1675178753239 timeLastUsed 1684763722184 timePasswordChanged 1675178753239

I've looked into this situation, and none of the solutions submitted online work.

I went to about:preferences, and set "security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots" to false, but "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" is set to true and locked; I can't change it.

First of all, I am not using Avast, AVG, Kapersky, etc. antivirus; I'm using Win 10's built-in security suite, so it's not my antivirus causing it.

To double check that, I opened the Registry and went to " HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\", looking for a Mozilla\Firefox\Polices key, and neither one had any Mozilla keys.

I even checked the Autoconfig settings, and found no settings in the JS file that had anything to do with Enterpise Roots (I renamed the file temporarily to disable it), but I still can't disable security.enterprise_roots.enabled

I have no "Organization"; I'm an independent home user, so needless to say I'm concerned that Firefox is suddenly saying some organization is controlling my Firefox.

Win 10 Home Ver. 22H2 OS Build: 19045.3086 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

Antivirus/Firewall: Windows 10 Security

Firefox: 114.0.2 (64 bit)

Can't log into router. Works with Chrome and Edge 192.168.2.1

Tried this says in the router's Admin page: Access setting page via https://router.asus.com:8443 * Please use port 1024-65535. With and without :80 and :433

Tried everything I can find on this site and Google. Has worked for many years.

I have a (quite old) Iomega 2 NAS in my local network. I have to connect to the admin page to change some settings, but FF responds with SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION, with no option to bypass.

It's my own NAS, in my own local network. How can I bypass this (in this case stupid) restriction? I know it's safe, I know no harm can be done, still I can't get to this page.

Hello everyone! I want to see every visit on a site by date and time. But in library of history it offers me to see only last visit by date(for example if i visited a site for example x.com 200 times - i want to see every date and time of every of these 200 visits, but not only recent). How to do it?

Mozilla Mobile developer Team, Please add option to turn off default ad blocker. Because the default ad blocker is being detected and I am blocked from accessing some web sites. Does anyone know how to turn off the default ad blocker? Please help me

I cannot access my Bank Account, the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

I have contacted the Bank, and they are supposed to come back to me. Computer has been restarted and debugged and I have reset the router. The certificate is from COMODA RSA! VALID 13.01.23 - 02.02.24.

It has been suggested when I looked on one Site that I nofify yourselves of this matter.

Thanking you in anticipation! (I have to admit I am not cech savvy!) Janice
