Logins & password save - a Serious security hole

I set up two Windows accounts on my Windows 10 and synced the passwords and settings in only one account. To my surprise, when I login in the second account, every login and password was there without the master password. This means that any one using that account can see my password.
I think this is a really serious security hole and Firefox should fix it as soon as possible.

All of a sudden, my mail's spam filter function has stopped working. In the past, it always moved the mail directly when I logged in, from the inbox to the spam folder. Now all (several hundred!) Mail is in the inbox and is not moved. It's emails I've been worked with for years and sorted because I don't want them in the inbox. :(

Why Firefox sandbox is not active?

I have tried to change sandbox level in firefox in about:config, but it doesn´t matter what level I set, I still have access to system files from the browser "file://" page, so that means that my files are exposed and sandbox it´s not restricting anything, right?. How could I solve it?. If I execute firefox with firejail the program crashes. I tried with Tor and the sandbox is working, so is not a problem with my OS, could I use the same configuration that Tor uses in firefox with some trick?. I´m in Linux Manjaro 4.19

Thunderbird apparently crashed just now (actually I x'd it out before it had fully opened) and a box popped up, at the bottom of which was a 'quit Thunderbird' button. It was just after I'd clicked this that I noticed it was a crash report submission form, and that the 'submit report' box was checked by default. I do not want to submit a crash report to Mozilla, as I cannot risk the privacy of the machine, and it was not caused by a software problem in any case. Can someone tell me how to have the report deleted?

Using Mozilla, We were doing an order at an online store and put in name, and then in the middle of my upper keyboard, the suggested address showed up as a close neighbors home, who we are not friends with, but are known drug users. We suspect that they somehow have put an order in and are trying to find out why their address preloaded on my cell phone and how I may find where that data is located

When viewing an incoming message the message bar containg the text "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message. " is not displayed, so there is no 'Options' button to view (or not) remote content. No messages that I receive display any remote content. How do I restore the option of viewing remote content?

Whenever I close or restart Firefox, my formhistory file is deleted and a fresh one replaces it. I do not want this to happen. In the Privacy & Security section, I have the "Clear history when Firefox closes" box unchecked and the "use custom settings for history" selected. Is there some other setting I need to set to prevent that file from being deleted when FF closes? Thanks for any response. Gary

I can't access many important features of websites in firefox, firefox private window, or Chrome. The only thing that loads properly is Chrome incognito. I think this has to do with security settings, but what I see doesn't match any of the articles on the support website. I don't even know what to turn off to load these sites properly. For example, I can't see the videos on tasty.co except for the homepage. Please help me manage my privacy settings.

I've been using Firefox in private mode when reading articles from the NY TImes and Washington Post for years. Both sites recently started detecting private mode and blocking access unless I turn private mode off (which is a nuisance when reading emails etc). Someone else posted this problem re: NY Times. I just updated to FIrefox 68.0.2 and the problem still exists. Can this be fixed?
