I keep getting this message from Network Solutions when I try t read my webmail. We’ve determined that you are connecting to your email using an unencrypted client connection and your data is not safe. Where in Firefox can I make the changes?


This security update requires all email server connections to use an encrypted connection. We will make the switch to require encrypted connections on April 4th, 2024.

What does this mean for you? Read on to learn about the important actions you need to take to make sure your email stays safe and secure.

IMPORTANT! Actions that you need to take before April 4th, 2024:

   When setting up your email in a third-party client, you are now required to enable Outgoing Server (SMTP) authentication and SSL/TLS. This ensures a secure connection when you log in to your email. Learn more about these steps here.
   Set up or update your email account on your device using the server settings as shown below:
       Incoming Mail Server:
           POP3: netsol-pop-oxcs.hostingplatform.com
           Port: 995
           IMAP (Recommended): netsol-imap-oxcs.hostingplatform.com
           Port: 993
       Outgoing Mail Server:
           SMTP: netsol-smtp-oxcs.hostingplatform.com
           Port: 587
       Username - Your full email address, for instance, help@example.com
       Password - The password you set for your mailbox
   Review this list of mail clients that do not support TLS 1.2 (If you are using any of these mail clients, you will need to update to a newer version or use webmail to access your email)
       Outlook® 2007
       Outlook 2010
       MacMail on MacOS 10.8 or before
       Windows 7
   Review this list of Operating Systems that support TLS 1.2 (If you are using an older version, you will need to update to a newer version as listed below)

Operating System TLS 1.2 Supported OS versions Android Mobile Android 5 and newer iOS Mobile iOS 9 and newer Windows Phone Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Windows Desktop Windows 8 and newer Mac OS Desktop Mac OS X 10.11 and newer


Please visit our Help Center for more detailed instructions.

Note: This security update requires action if you use an email client application to send and receive your email on an Apple, Windows-based PC, or Android device. Webmail Access will still be available.

Periodically I would like to clear cookies, except some. Tripcheck.com saves one's custom camera itineraries in cookies. I would like to avoid deleting them when I clear cookies or when Firefox is closed. Similarly, there are some other websites for which I would like to preserve cookies for.

How can I do that? Does listing them as "allowed" accomplish that? Thanks.

I have spent the last TWO HOURS trying to find an answer to what should be a simple problem, and it seems not to exist!

I need to find out WHERE Firebird lists my email account PASSWORD.

I do NOT want to reset my password.

I simple need to know WHAT my password is, and since I set up the account [actually a few accounts] several years ago, my notes are evidently null and void, because none of those passwords seem to work.

My email is through verizon.net, which is one of the problems because they gave all of their email coltrol to AOL, which thouroughly sucks, and they seem not to have anyone who speaks fluent English who can assist me in FINDING the current password!

If ANYONE can help, it would be most greatly appreciated!!

Hi all, how can I get Thunderbird to show new emails to my hotmail account please?

I can see by logging into my hotmail account in Firefox, and also on my iPhone, that I have new emails; and Thunderbird does still show newer emails in my non-hotmail account.

I've followed https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202 up to step 4. When I clicked "Server Settings" in Account Settings I was able to change "Authentication method:" to OAuth2. However, when I then click "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" and "Edit...", the "Authentication method:" has five options: No authentication, Normal password, Encrypted password, Kerberos / GSSAPI, and NTLM. OAuth2 is not an option I can choose. Version is 115.8.1 (32-bit) and says "Thunderbird is up to date".

A website MultiSafepay.com has saved my CVV number in Firefox.

How do I edit the autofill data?

I can't get to the same payment page, to be in a position to delete it.

Most links on this matter refer to:

 Options => Privacy & Security => Forms and Autofill

However in my Version: Firefox 98.0.1 (64 bit) running on an up to date Windows 10 this feature is missing or deprecated.

Can anyone say how I could edit/delete this specific entry, or point me in the direction of where this data is stored?

In the mean time I can't recommend using Firefox for entering critical security data, where websites can allow the storage of CVV numbers.

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.

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.

Greetings from North-East of France, since a few weeks ago I'm seeing a (sort of) pop-up window suggesting to login with a Google account (see the screenshot attached). I've done some internet search to find out how to get rid of it, but the only suggestion I get is to modify an option in a Google account. However, I do not have a Google account! How to get rid of this disturbing pop-up? I already use Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin, yet Google passes through them! Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.
