This question is about a specific Firefox add on. I have not used extensions or add ons previously and am concerned about the safety of the one I want to upload: Claude Conversation Capture.

The page says it will require permission to Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history (which is fine) and Access your data for all websites (which scares the heck out of me.)

How can I safeguard my privacy and data to prevent a breach and maintain proper security if I download this add on?

Can anyone help with this please? The add on would be extremely useful but not at the expense of my security and privacy.

FWIW I am #notageek and very tech challenged, so please explain anything I need to know in ordinary language I can understand (will be greatly appreciated.)

Thank you!

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!

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

As the title suggests, I've found that exceptions added for 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' simply do not function in a private window; they're entirely ignored. The discovered 'Tracking Content' (from shield in the address bar) will list the exact domain that's whitelisted and the network tab of the devtools will label the URL as blocked due to tracking content. Obviously this is wrong, that short of per-window type settings, this should be global (and makes no sense to differentiate anyhow).

Switching to a standard window fixes this, however, and the exceptions are taken into account.

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 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.
