I've finished setting up the S/MIME encryption in Thunderbird, and imported all the certificates needed. When people with the certificates emailed me, I could receive and read all the emails. However, when I replied to the same people, I got the error message saying 'End-to-end encryption requires resolving cerficiate issues'. My colleagues imported the same certificates without any issues. Do you have any suggestions for me to solve the issue? Thank you very much!

I am looking to turn on review checker and cannot see how to do it. I don't have the price tag icon displayed nor do I have any reference to Review Checker in my settings. I'm wondering if my version of Firefox supports it (133.0). Any ideas?

My e-mail appears to have been hacked, resulting in the loss of $3000. A second attempt to hack the account, by intercepting an e-mail sent to me and replacing the bank details, was interrupted by the bank, which froze my account until the situation was resolved. That would have caused the loss of almost $7000, had the fraud been successful. I don't want to change my e-mail address, but I would like to improve the security of my account. Can you please advise what I should do.

Thanks and regards,

I USE A WEBSITE OPERATED BY THE ESCAMBIA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE REGULARLY TO LOOK UP INMATES AND ARREST INFORMATION. I NEED TO UNBLOCK WHATEVER SECURITY KEEPS ME FROM OPENING THIS SITE

I am considering moving over and using thunderbird as a desktop email client principaly to archieve my emails per the advice in the book. The book advices from a privacy and sercuity perspective that a email clinet such as thunderbrid should only be used to archive emails and not to send them. I dont think this is a big risk and I am considering using thinderbird to send emails as well, not just from a browser.

Are you able to clarify and provide further insight on this ? What are the privacy and security risks of sending an email this way ? Please see extracts from book below.

I do not recommend using them for daily access to these services, or to send email messages, but only as an archiving solution to make sure you always have a copy of your data offline.

I use this only as an offline backup of all email in the event I cannot access my Proton Mail account online. I never send email from this application.

A decade ago, my main concern about email privacy would have been exposure of a true IP address. Most of us still used email clients which shared the local IP address within the email headers of every sent message. he risk today is minimal. If you send an email from within a web browser through a service such as Proton Mail, Tuta, Fastmail, Gmail, etc., the recipient should only see the IP address of the email server. Your true home IP address should not be exposed. If you send an email from an email client while using these services, you are also usually protected. The emails bounce through the service provider's servers before going out and only includes those addresses. However, sending email through a client configured for corporate email may expose your true IP address. As an example, sending an email from your employer's provided address through a traditional emailclient from home could expose these sensitive details.

I'm trying to send encrypted email to a recipient who I have a certificate for, but Thunderbird states:

End-to-end encryption requires resolving certificate issues for ....

That's rather unhelpful - what issues exactly? I've imported the CA certs into the system and they are shown in TB. openssl verify on the cert returns OK. I'm at a loss as to what might be the issue.

Hello

I've been setting up Thunderbird on MacOS. I was adding few Gmail accounts. Every account was using 2FA so I had to enter new verification code each time. When I was adding 3rd or 4th account and was entering Google verification code into the form it suggested one of the codes I used before. Codes had same first two numbers so I guess I know why this form suggested one of the old codes but where does Thunderbird store these codes? I've deleted search history and cache in Thunderbird and attempted adding another gmail account but this time when I was asked for 2FA code I started with older verification codes and this form remembered all of them. Is there a way to remove them? Where does Thunderbird store these codes?

Thanks for any suggestions

I keep getting pop-ups in the right lower corner from "mozilla firefox" (not sure if they are legit). They will say: "zeus.2020 trojan detected" or "virus detected" or "system is infected", etc. All have "Mozilla Firefox" in the upper left of the pop-up, and "via rgfirewall.xyz" at the bottom. Is this truly legit, or is it just a nuisance? I've just been closing them with the x or dismiss buttons.

Hi There Mozilla Peeps,

I have Norton security on my computer and I recently signed up for an advanced email scanning service, but when I try to connect it it says it doesn't work with Thunderbird. Is there a fix for this?

Thank you!

Hi all, thanks for volunteering your expertise here. FireFox doesn't allow me to open my printer's configuration home page on my local IP4 network. I failed to find where to add a possible exception for such an address. Error message contains: "This web site might not support the TLS 1.2 protocol, which is the minimum version supported by Firefox."

I don't think my printer/scanner is a significant security risk to me.

Any solutions, other than replacing a perfectly fine printer?

Cheers, Hans
