As title, MS defender keeps detecting trojans everytime firefox is launched and while I'm pretty sure it's probably just a false positive its just getting rather frustrating and now more so, worrying that it's constantly happening.

I hope that not everyone receives 5 or more phishing emails a day like I do. The phishermen have learned that if they put a lengthy enough name in front of the email address that said address won't be seen unless the email is opened. The fishy looking email address is of course is the first tip off that the message is phishing. Some however manage to use a plausible tag in front of the @ and somehow use a legitimate xxxx.com after the @. I received two of that type this week from a phony Uber account. I've forwarded them to Uber.

The current Tbird release does not allow the user to add the "From" column to the list displays. That would be useful. Anything more that you could come up with would be be appreciated by many. BTW I am using the DKIM extension, and so far it seems to be helpful.

My wife and I are in our late 70s and both had careers in data processing. We are aware and careful. In another 10 years, who knows.

buenas noches, estaba haciendo un analisis y el antivirus me ha detectado un "troyano" en una carpeta de firefox (adjunto captura) y no se que hacer, por si alguien sabe si es un falso positivo o es que de verdad es un troyano

Hi,

Thunderbird tries to access many websites, even when it is in the background and apparently idle. In the last two or three weeks, it has tried to access about sixty websites that Little Snitch (Macintosh) reports by IP address, not domain name. Without knowing the domain name, I cannot tell what Thunderbird is trying to do, so I do not allow it to access those sites.

I know that Firefox does this also and that Thunderbird is built on Firefox.

In the Mullvad browser, built on Tor's browser, which is, in turn, built on Firefox, this problem is resolved by setting an option to use the user's default DNS resolver. I cannot find such an option in Thunderbird. Might there be one in a configuration setting? Or some other way to deal with this matter?

Thanks for any help.

The camera won't turn on in the Firefox browser for Google Meet or Zoom. It says it can't find the camera or that it's turned off. I have checked my Windows 11 settings and desktop apps have access to the camera. I have also checked the settings for each of the sites and use of the camera and microphone are allowed. Autoplay is enabled too. The camera works fine in other apps and in other browsers.

Why does my settings say, "Information Your browser is being managed by your organization." when firefox is installed on my personal laptop? Is there a malicious software infecting the browser?

We are currently setting up a product internally in our environment yet we keep getting this error message, I was wondering if there are anymore details from Firefox as to what it means/background on what is going with the browser as we can not access the site. Thanks.

In Settings>Privacy & Security>Permissions>Location, exceptions cannot be added. The bar above the exceptions is a "search" bar and adding an URL does not add the address the the exceptions. Usining Firefox 133.0 on the Linux Mint 20 platform.

My Firefox instance (133.0.3 64bit) on notebook shows warnings for leaked passwords in my password manager. I can even search for unsafe passwords.

My Firefox instance (same version) on tower PC synchronizes the passwords, but doesn't show warnings (incl. the black key icon), though I checked the box in settings to do so, and restarted over and over. What else can I do?
