This is a headache that I have really been struggling with for a long time, and I really need some answers for this.
I have a number of email addresses saved in Thunderbird that required my password in order to add. I let it auto config and then added each one. Despite having given the password to Thunderbird (and having it locked behind a master password) Thunderbird seems to have sudden amnesia of EVERY password I have saved for EVERY account every time I send an email.
In order for me to use Thunderbird to send an email it asks me for the password to the account. There is no checkbox to remember the password anywhere visible on the dialogue box.
I have googled this and never found an answer. I have tried changing the settings on one of my accounts to make it work, and all that did was lose the password for that account. Now, every time I open Thunderbird and enter my Master Password, I also have to enter the password for the account that lost the password, even though I resorted all settings for it. I checked the password list and it's no longer there.
I tested this further by deleting one of the passwords to another account to see if I can enter the password again and save it again only to be met by the same dialogue box that asks for the password and never once offers to remember it.
Is the only time that Thunderbird can save a password is when you add the account?? Why is Thunderbird incapable of remembering my passwords after this time? Is Thunderbird really so incapable that it cannot take the saved password for the account and use that for sending mail just as it does for checking mail?
Firefox says that it is being managed by an organization, but this is my own computer, and when I click to see active policies there is nothing there.

I've asked on Reddit but I haven't found a fix for this yet so I'm asking here. In the settings for Firefox it says that my browser is being managed by your organization. But it has no mention of any settings being restricted, and when I clicked the notification to check the policy the page was entirely empty. I also checked the Firefox program folder and there wasn't any sign of an Autoconfic file that I could notice. One user mentioned on Reddit that this issue is often caused by antivirus companies forcefully inserting their own SSL certs to intercept your encrypted traffic, he then suggested turning off "web scanning" but my antivirus (which I only use Malwarebytes and Windows Defender) already had them disabled. After doing some research on my own I found out that the antivirus Avast used to cause this issue, and I had uninstalled Avast a while back, so I figured that the reason that the policy wasn't there was because Avast was uninstalled, but, I never saw this notification before today. So if anybody can help me pinpoint what this is and how remove it would be much appreciated. But all I really want to know if is this is something that I should be worried about or is it simply a bug. Also one other question is why the top sites and search bar is really close to the address bar after the latest update. Is this just a design change? Or is this something I need to be concerned about? Because I didn't notice this on Firefox on my laptop. Thanks in advance.

Why is DNS-over-HTTPs not being disabled when I have the canary domain set to return status NXDOMAIN?

I'm trying to disable DNS-over-HTTPs on my home network so my Pi Hole acts as my DNS server for Firefox while at home. I've configured it to treat the canary domain use-application-dns.net as if it doesn't exist. If I try to open that site in a different browser it says the server can't be found, and if I do a DNS lookup for it it confirms that my system gets NXDOMAIN for that domain name:
$ host -t ns use-application-dns.net
Host use-application-dns.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
However Firefox continues to use DNS-over-HTTPs. Is there somewhere to find a log that shows when Firefox looks up that hostname to see if it's actually performing the check?

Hi, I am using firefox 72.0.2 with archlinux. Few days ago I discovered that all my requests are done by using request headers via and X-Forwarded-For. Right now, when I browse the web, every request headers in the web developper > network section have this : Via: 1.1 37.245.166.163 X-Forwarded-For: 37.245.166.163
Looking at ARIN information it seems the ip belongs to Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (see https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=arin%3a37.245.166.163&run=toolpage)
If I start a new firefox process (not tab), the ip used by those headers is different, I was using a proxy in Singapour and Mexico last 2 times.
I try to disable all firefox extensions installed to see if it changes something. Nothing, the use of proxy was still there. And in Preferences -> Networking Settings, the No proxy option is set.
I asked friends with same firefox version, they do not have those request headers. Where does this behavior come from ? There is another way to set proxy in firefox ? Is my firefox hacked ? I try with chromium or some network command in console, and there is no request headers added.
Thank you.

For the last few days, every time I click on a Google Image I get the message:
Redirect Notice
The previous page is sending you to <the page I wanted to go to>
If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.
This is fantastically annoying and appears to be limited to Firefox. Chrome doesn't do it, and I run both with a similar set of add-ons. I've seen suggestions to set accessibility.blockautorefresh to false in about:config. It is already set to false.

Hi! Within the past month or so, Firefox login/password autosave has stopped working correctly. I want it to autosave most passwords, and it had been doing that fine. Then I noticed saved passwords were being rejected by sites, and when I clicked on 'view' to see what the saved password was that had been autofilled, it wouldn't be right. It would be a different login and password for a previous site. For instance, firefox was trying to autofill my college login with my personal email and a different password, not my .edu email. I haven't changed any behavior or gone into settings or done anything that seems likely to trigger this issue. Also can't find anything about it in search. Any ideas?

Currently using 68.4.2 on macOS Catalina.
I had to change my password to OneLogin (an SSO service), which in turn has a G Mail business account which I use. Since then, I have been unable to send/receive email to my business G Mail account.
Removed, then attempted to re-add the account. A OneLogin pop-up would normally appear asking for my credentials. However, that pop-up does not appear, and simply brings up an invalid user/pass error.
I have confirmed OAuth is enabled for the account in question.
Any help would be wonderful.
