I have 10 email accounts I have to monitor. When I set up Thunderbird on Windows, I entered all the account info and the passwords. I checked the box 'use password manager'. This worked well for a few days. After several days, I started the app again and it asked for every password again. I entered all the passwords again. This happened several more times. I sought help for the bug, but found none. Someone suggested deleting password database files in the Thunderbird data folders. This did not help. Someone else suggested that CCleaner may be deleting password data files, so I added the entire Thunderbird data folder to the scanner exclusion list. Yes, this may be a security risk, but I need this app to work, as I have not found any other app that even begins to get the job done. Ready to start looking for another email app now, unless someone can fix this problem. It is not reasonable to expect me to lookup and restore 10 passwords every time I check my mail.

After moving the data file to a new windows 11 machine, the Password Vault no longer remembers passwords. How do I fix? Online searches have told me to delete several files in the Profile folder. I have done this several times w/o success. What are my options other than to find another email client? Thanks, Hank

After the latest update to Firefox (154.0.1) on Linux Mint, I discovered that ALL my passwords have been deleted. I recreated them and the next day they were missing again. I've been a faithful Firefox user since its early days. It was a good run but this is unacceptable and I'm going to delete FF and move to another browser. Too bad because I did like FF.

I've been using Thunderbird on our pc for decades, but it I believe the last software update has corrupted the "Password Manager". Since then, almost every time I attempt to log in, I receive the message about my password is incorrect, even though I have changed and checked the box that states something like "use Password Manager" for it. This is naturally "driving me crazy". Is there going to be a fix or is it just my problem? Thank you!

I've safely saved many, many passwords in Firefox for a long time. Then one fine day a month or so ago, I found out that ALL of my passwords had been wiped out! Ever since then, I started saving my passwords in a .csv file and then uploaded the file to the Passwords page. The passwords keep getting wiped out anyway. I can't find a way to stop this from happening.

This is just a gripe. I have used your browser for years and I used to love it more than any other browsers. However, lately it is being updated (what seems like every week or more) all the time. Updates I don't mind but do you have to screw up my saved passwords and toolbars and settings. It also seems to never want to close. 75% of the time when I open my laptop and click on Firefox it tells me it's already open when I know I closed it. If all of this continues I will be looking for another browser.

I needed to change my AOL password and when I went to change it in Thunderbird I accidentally deleted the entire entry instead of just the password. Now I don't see a mechanism to reenter that information. I thought it might ask that if I simply tried to reconnect to the AOL mail, but I get the attached when I try even though that is the information I use to sign into AOL

Thoughts?

Thanks, John
