SMIME certificate still available after removal

Hi all,

for signing PDFs with my SMIME certificate, another 3rd party software (LibreOffice) uses the Thunderbird profile folder (nssdb stored which is located there). After some investigation by myself, it could be a problem within Thunderbird certificate management itself.

Situation: I've a current and some outdated SMIME certificates for my mail address. But all for one mail address.

Because the current SMIME certificate is not accessible for LibreOffice, I removed temporary all of my outdated SMIME certificates from Thunderbird by the builtin certificate management, i.e. the list of my personal certificates was set to one entry (=the current certificate) in Thunderbird. But even then, LibreOffice lists only an outdated certificate (which is not visible anymore in the Thunderbird builtin certificate management).

Therefore I've checked with certutil the nssdb entries in the Thunderbird profile folder. Surprisingly, there is an outdated SMIME to my mail address contained (no further, even not the current one). Even after removal of those outdated certificates via the builtin certificate management. The current certificate is never listed; always only an outdated one.

This looks like a difference between builtin certificate management and nssdb within the profile folder (or may for another storage location of the certificates)?

certutil -L -d ~/.thunderbird/myprofilefolder --email mymailaddress

Thanks in advance!

Correctly Formatting OpenPGP-Encrypted emails for Thunderbird Compatibility?

I'm trying to send an OpenPGP-encrypted email from a Linux Mint machine using msmtp, relaying through the smtp server, to another Linux machine, to myself, running Thunderbird (with the sender's (my) imported private key already loaded and working in Thunderbird).

The encrypted test message is composed manually as a file (email.eml) and sent using msmtp from the command line. The email successfully passes through the SMTP relay, is received and decrypted by Thunderbird (so the OpenPGP decryption part works that much I know ... ), but the plain text content is not rendered properly and the email is displayed blank, no plain text as expected. Thunderbird has decrypted the message, but it’s not being displayed or rendered.

This makes me think the issue lies in the structure or MIME headers/parts of the .eml file itself — specifically how the encrypted message body is wrapped. This is not something I'm entirely familiar with, and even less so with what Thunderbird expects for a PGP encrypted message...

I suspect the issue is due to incorrect MIME formatting or missing headers (Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding, Charset, or boundaries etc.) needed for Thunderbird to correctly render the decrypted body into plain text once it receives it. Since I’m assembling the .eml manually (and eventually by a script whej I get to it), I may be overlooking certain structural requirements that typical mail clients (say Thunderbird or similar) or gpg front-ends (like mutt, mailx ...) would handle automatically.

My questions are: Is there a correct MIME structure or format expected by Thunderbird for OpenPGP-encrypted emails ? Is this documented anywhere specifically for Thunderbird ? Or, are there publicly available examples or specs that describe how such an email should be structured (e.g., RFCs or working .eml templates)?

Is there a known way to validate or "lint" .eml files for OpenPGP compatibility ? That would be nice ;-)

As I said the internals or MIME formatting is not my thing usually. Any pointers to Th.B. documentation, sample files, or tools that help with .eml structure validation would be grately appreciated.

Thanks in advance, cheers MM

Some sites do not work correctly even if I select Custom and uncheck the boxes there, but these sites work in Google Chrome. One of the examples is the Twitch site. It's not displayed correctly in some places and there are probably other sites. I wouldn't want to add these sites manually, because personally I don't see any point in it for myself. I really hope that Mozilla has provided the ability to completely disable this function using standard tools (settings or about:config), without installing any extensions.

Thank you!

Hi Fresh reinstall WIn10Pro home office pc -- want to ensure OS (WIn10pro x64) doesn't alter behind the scenes.

Want to prevent MScopilot or other rogue AI is not hiding changes unclear/unknown to user. Pc Admins and also PC std users

Have FF v140 syncing to a Msoutlook userid and have donated under that id. The donwloaded install was done via a private window as Edge had to be used.

New installs of everything. Full virus scans etc. latest updates. But still seems like MS trying to prevent using FF unaltered.

Is it best to set up a profile and then disconnect sync; then reset FF periodically and turn sync back on? Some IT people said they've done that for a while.

Are local windows users not supposed to be able to save FF settings?

Are we inviting in MS by syncing and/or donating to Mozilla / Firefox with outlook.com addresses?

Thanks.
