Hi there,

I'm using the AI chat sidebar in Firefox desktop, and I've noticed that some AI chat providers offer voice and screen sharing features. However, instead of asking for microphone permissions like it usually does in a regular tab, Firefox seems to ignore the request entirely. Is there a way to get Firefox to display the permission request or to automatically allow it in this case?

Thank you!

Hi All, :-)

I *know* (from various on-line posts over the years) that the accepted wisdom is that Thunderbird does *not* cache the TLS Certificates of the MDA(s) that it connects too - however, I can come to no other conclusion but this based on the information and investigations I have been able to gather over the last several days.  :-(

Our MDA (Dovecot, with Postfix and back-ended by MariaDB) hosts a number of Email Domains, each with its own Let's Encrypt Certificate. Our Thunderbird clients correctly "obtain" (via SNI) the correct(?) TLS Certificate from the MDA for each given Email Domain - or at least, "obtains" the *old* (ie out of date / expired) Certs.

And here's the thing: I've just spent the last 2 days trying to work out why the "old" certs are still being "obtained".

I've:

• Gone over the Dovecot (and Postfix) configs - nothing, all correct
• Searched the Storage of the actual servers - only Certificates found are the *new* (ie renewed) ones
• Confirming that the Certificates located are correct by inspecting them (using Step-CLI) - yes, they are correct
• Cross-confirming (vi OpenSSH) that the correct (new) certificates are being server by Dovecot - yes, they are
• Checked that the "old" Certificates do not exist *anywhere* on the mail server, the local PCs (Rocky Linux with KDE), nor the database server (on the server or in the database itself)
• Cleaned the Thunderbird Certificate Stores of all but CA Certificates

And yet, Thunderbird bitches and complains that the MDA's Certificates are "out of date", and when I ask Thunderbird to show me the offending Cert it presents the correct (for the relevant Email Domain) but "old" (ie expired) Certificate.

So, could someone please help me out in working out WTF is going on?  :-)

And, FTR, I'm quite ready to "eat humble pie" if it turns out I've gone and Fire-trucked something - so feel free to tell me so if that's the case  :-)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I recently discovered that macOS Screen Time is reporting my Firefox usage under the name “Firefox: Private, Safe Browser.” and just the name "Firefox". My family is suspecting that I am using private model for the screen time of "Firefox". However, I have never used Private Browsing mode.

This mislabeling is causing misunderstandings at home, as it appears I’m hiding something, which I am not. Could this be a misclassification by macOS, or is there something in Firefox’s app packaging that triggers this name?

I would greatly appreciate any clarification or assistance. Thank you.

Best,

Edit:

I tested on my Mac again today. Even though I am using Firefox Private Mode, I only have one screen time usage, just called "Firefox: Private, Safe Browser".

how to protect my user name and password to avoid hacker accesibilty because every time he calling to offering products by email, i need support to protect about it.

On Nightly build 2016088551, I was given a pop-up to lock tabs in Private mode. I do not like this change, so I tried looking in settings to turn this off. I did not find the option to turn this off. How do I do so?

Please read below my emails to Ghostery support that describes the issue and the Ghostery response.

The issue is using DuckDuckGo in Firefox with the Ghostery add-on enabled, and changing DuckDuckGo AI settings.

Please let me know if there is a resolution available.

An FYI -

Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker - Privacy AdBlock 10.4.32 has an issue in Firefox with DuckDuckGo search engine Settings changes to AI Features, Chat to off, Assist to Never, then saved and shown working with a page refresh.

When Firefox is then shutdown and restarted the intended DuckDuckGo browser changes are not applied. Assist will still show a result in a search.

Proven by disabling Ghostery, again changing DuckDuckGo AI features and saving, shutting down Firefox and restarting, then searching with DuckDuckGo with no Assist displayed in result.

I can answer any questions you may have.

Regards, Long time happy Ghostery user Malc [edited] @gmail.com

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to Ghostery and bringing this to our attention!

We were able to reproduce the issue on our end, though with slightly different conditions. It appears that DuckDuckGo’s settings are stored locally in the browser. If Firefox is set to clear cookies and site data (either manually or automatically), this would reset DuckDuckGo’s preferences each time — even with Ghostery disabled.

Could you please check if the option “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” is turned off in your Firefox settings and try again? In our tests, DuckDuckGo’s settings were preserved when this option was disabled. It would greatly help to narrow this down.

Here for any further questions! Best, Ghostery Support

Hi Ghostery Support 2,

Thank you for replying.

Yes, the option “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” is turned on. When turned off and the Ghostery extension enabled, the changes to DuckDuckGo were saved and implemented correctly when Firefox was restarted.

I did find this.

In Firefox settings Cookies and Site Data, Manage Exceptions, I added "https://duckduckgo.com" and set Status to Allow. I also turned on “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed”.

With the Ghostery extension enabled, the saved settings to DuckDuckGo were still active when Firefox was restarted.

But I do not think it wise to give DuckDuckGo an exception to use cookies and site data with no restriction.

Please keep me informed.

Regards, Malc [edited] @gmail.com

Hi there, Thanks for getting back to us!

Unfortunately, there’s not much Ghostery can do in this case. If DuckDuckGo saves its settings internally, there may be no way to keep duckduckgo.com out of exceptions while preserving those settings elsewhere.

You might want to look into third-party tools that support this kind of setup, or consider reaching out to Mozilla’s support team with this request.

Here for any further questions! Best, Ghostery Support Support Ghostery

Thunderbird has now been supplied with openPGP for encryption, for users having that need for special purposes. Encryption is functioning perfectly between openPGP users. Many thanks. But there is really a need for using either normal mail or encrypted in connections to Support. Please show that this impressing facility is functioning inside your support_system ! Or parts of the system. Best Regards Boris Reimann DK boris@dsa-net.dk

I have been hacked for 3 years now by the same hacker.
