Nord keeps telling me that Mozilla Thunderbird Version 128.0.1 Severity level : High. Exploiting this vulnerability is relatively straight forward for attackers. They may gain unauthorized access to your data or cause system disruptions. Risk mitigation is needed. This message was also for the latest 115 version. Then I updated to 128 and it has the same problem

Firefox releases email addresses and our data to third parties!

I installed the Arc browser and Arc offered to load my bookmarks from mozilla. Out of curiosity, I let it, and it loaded my bookmarks and folders smoothly. Arc didn't navigate Firefox to the login page, so Firefox released my information without asking me.

What probably happened in the background was that the Arc browser told Firefox which email address it was requesting data from, and Firefox handed over the data to it "on notice". Firefox was not even convinced that the real owner of the email address asked the Arc browser to synchronize the folders.

Is it the famous Firefox reliability?

I'm talking about how when you go to fill out a text input, it'll suggest that input next time you go to a similar field. Well, that system just saved my social security number as an input after I filled out a government form. I would like to turn this feature off now, and delete the history of it if I can. Is there a way I can do that?

I'd attach an example image of a different website, but the box goes away when trying to take a screenshot.

I'm needing to transfer a fair amount of company email from POP accounts to Gmail for Business.

I understand the typical response is to add the gmail IMAP account to TB and copy the messages.

I've tested this feature and it works great. However I'm unsure of the exact mechanism used. Mainly, is this transportation between servers encrypted?

The gmail IMAP account is setup to use SSL/TLS, port 993 and authentication method is normal password.

Can someone confirm these emails will be protected in transit? Thank you in advance.

OK - I must be missing something. On my previous browser, Opera, if I wanted to see details of my passwords then I needed to put in the computer password, so keeping them quite secure. However, Firefox seems to let anyone using the browser to access the full details of all my passwords, even offering to copy them! This has to be the most insecure approach possible - surely this can't be correct, can it?
