WHY AM I GETTING THIS REQUEST... DOZENS OF TIMES A DAY?

Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account undefined my gmail.com account: This will allow Mozilla Thunderbird Email to:

More info: Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail Click for more information

More info: See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts Click for more information

More info: See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar Click for more information

By clicking Allow, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can change this and other Account Permissions at any time.

HOW CAN I DISALLOW Google to do anything with my account and contacts?

How to properly configure Firefox iOS & DuckDuckGo for secure and unrestricted browsing

I am using Firefox on iPhone (together with DuckDuckGo as my preferred search engine) and I want to configure it in the most secure and reliable way, without running into blocked pages or limited results.

Here’s what I would like step-by-step help with: 1. HTTPS-Only Mode – how to enable this permanently so all sites load securely. 2. Tracking Protection – which level is best for privacy without breaking websites (Standard vs Strict). 3. DuckDuckGo Setup – how to make it my default search engine in Firefox iOS. 4. SafeSearch – how to set it to the best option (Strict, Moderate, or Off) depending on my preference. 5. General Security – any other recommended settings (cookies, history, etc.) to improve private browsing.

My goals are: • Reliable browsing without “HTTP not allowed” errors. • Strong privacy protection. • Smooth experience without unnecessary restrictions.

Could you please guide me step by step on how to set this up correctly?

Thank you in advance for your support!

I have just swapped to a new Android phone and when I try to search using my Firefox app, it comes up with Google. Is this right? Also, even though I have Firefox as my default browser on my laptop, when I open a link in email, it comes up on a Microsoft Edge page?

With the change in the Privacy policy and TOU for Mozilla, it's been mentioned in several official responses that certain functionality will not be possible going forward without those changes.

If I never use suggestions, hints, or any mozilla services with firefox. Just what functionality becomes a problem that you need to change the "We will never sell your data" and the other equally disturbing "you grant mozilla a irrevocable non-exclusive royalty free right..."?

How about some clear transparency instead of the opaque non-specific statements you've been making?

Loyal users of firefox for the last 20+ years deserve better than this.


Oh, and why can't I remove the search shortcuts for bookmarks, tabs and history, I'd like to map those keys to something else.
