After working fine for a long time, last night Thunderbird 60.9.0 (Win 7) required password reentry on all POP accounts, sometimes working and sometimes not. Each time I checked the box to remember them but the requests happened over and over. I checked the passwords in Thunderbird options and they appear correct. I tried to delete them all and start the process over with mixed results; sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and the requests continue. Was there a recent update that I may have gotten on 9/17/19 that might be causing it? What might be the cause?

I’m trying to use my own DoH server with Firefox. It works fine basically but if I enable client authentication on it, DoH seems to fail. Since It’s difficult to create ip address based access filtering for remote mobile users, I want to add some user authentication feature to my DoH session.
Does current DoH client of Firefox support “TLS client certificate” or “HTTP header” authentication?

I use cryptographic module PKCS#11 to browse some sites. I load corresponding xxx.dll file : Options>advanced>Certificates>SecurityDevices>Load . The PKCS#11 device appears in the Device Manager list of devices. I can Log in this PKCS#11 reader and view data. "OK", View Certificates - I view this certificate. "OK" and quit Options menu. If I close the FF browser, these settings was lost and I have to install them manually again. How to save these settings ?

Dear Support Team:
My security and Privacy settings are all checked for clearance when I prompt the browser to. My home page is set to default Firefox. Many apps have restrictions in system apps and application apps. Firefox has access maximum access except for location, because I want to help you detect bugs and improve as it is in the interest of all users for me to permit Firefox to do this.
In addition, all my bookmarks are mysteriously removed, often when the data deletion is prevented as stated above.
I need not mention this but I must. Intrusions into my phone are persistent by parties who havea vested interest in preventing me from divulging the thought crimes that they visit upon me.
I use a free VPN (Thunder), often with the German or Netherlands servers.
What more can I do to protect my privacy?
I am not a criminal nor terrorist. I have no criminal record.
Thank you in advance. PL

Recently I notice that after browsing in a private window of Firefox and closing that window I can find a cache of that browsing in .cache/mozilla/Firefox/z39yd8n9.dev-edition-default/cashe2/entries folder. There are images that I saw only in private browsing. And this is not private, and other files.

Firefox 68. A web site I visit daily always shows a popup asking me to accept cookies ("aceptar y continuar navegando"). It's annoying.
In options, I've selected "standard" for the cookie policy. I've emptied the cache, used the "forget this site" in the history for the web pages where the message pops up, and reloaded Firefox. It still prompts me.
Here's one of the pages it happens on: https://www.antena3.com/series/el-secreto-de-puente-viejo/avances/ Click "avances" or "momentos" and a large black box should pop up on the bottom of the screen, with the "aceptar y continuar navegando" in the lower right in a red rectangle.
Essentially, I want to tell the web site that I accept having cookies and have the web site remember my answer for the future.

How does DNS over HTTPS modes define usage of hosts file?
Firefox: 69.0, OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3
I noticed that when I enable DNS over HTTPS ("network.trr.mode" set to 2 - use DoH, fall back to DNS), *and* hostname is defined in hosts file (/etc/hosts), Firefox usage of hosts file is inconsistent and hard to predict.
If IPs defined in hosts file and obtained via DNS request differ, corresponding site/resources behaves erratically, as if Firefox chooses at random, which page components' DNS address should be resolved via hosts, and which via DoH.
I had to disable DoH for that reason.
It is possible to set up DoH, so that it used hosts records, if present, and used DNS in all other cases?
