Hello! After like 20+ years I wanted to return to Thunderbird and right after the start i stumbled upon a massive showstopper... The need to exclude every single address "variation" of a website and/or email address is not only annoying, but will also make Thunderbird slower and slower with time.

Why does the exception list for remote content not support wildcards? Why do I have to separately allow content from e.g. "invitations@linkedin.com", "messages-noreply@linkedin.com" and "messaging-digest-noreply@linkedin.com", instead of just allowing all content from a domain "*linkedin.com"?

Regards, Black Seraph.

I picked "performance and connectivity" because I am NOT connecting with you due to your constant Leftist biased performance.

I just thought you might like to know that because you keep posting biased fake Leftist news from CNN, AP, PBS, NPR, Axios, The Guardian, Washington Post, NY Times, etc., on my Firefox home page, I have BLOCKED all your content. I kept dismissing the CNN, etc. content but you kept right on sending it back.

This month I downloaded the current version of Tbird on a new computer running windows 11. Tbird receives all my email but can not send mail. I have an old computer running on windows 7 which has Tbird that was loaded at least 5 years ago. It receives and sends email without problems. The two versions of Tbird are using the same SMTP settings: server: mail.twc.com Port: 587. My email account for Tbird is slengyel@triad.rr.com

I also have a gmail account which receives and sends on both computers without problems. My gmail account is steve.lengyel9@gmail.com.

Both computers run through the same internet network.

I cannot sign into Discover Card when I use FireFox. I talked to Discover Card about it. They say the most frequent reason it happens is because Discover Card is not on your safe list. I tried signing in on my other PCs with a Ubuntu OS and their browser Opera works fine on signing me in. Within the last two weeks I installed Mint on two of my PCs. works great except for not being able to sign in to Discover Card. I am not having that problem on any other sites. I doubt if my cache is full as my usage being new OS has been minimal. I just tried signiing in with this PC after installing Mint yesterday. I get the same message

"We're sorry. Your request cannot be completed at this time. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and are working to resolve this issue soon."

Discover wants to blame Firefox. Personally I think It has to do within the Mozilla VPN. I say that because I often had the same problem when I used McAfee's VPN. Discover maintains it has nothing to do with VPNs and it is a trust issue.

Eventually I want to replace Ubuntu with Mint. But I cannot until this problem is fixed. Opera is also running a VPN when I sign in so this would support Discover Cards theory about Firefox not having Discover on a safe list. I think they have it wrong though. If your site is blocked you are not on Discover's safe list. I wish we could get a meeting of the two minds instead of me trapped in the middle. Hope this helps.

Using the back arrow key at the top left of the screen is crucial to my daily work. The Alt+Back Arrow key as suggested in your new "short cuts" is not working. The pull down of history shows my Corporate name, which is no help to finding the item I was just working on. How can having this simple function of clicking on the back arrow key be brought back as not having it at this time, makes me start the process of searching all over again, which is time consuming and simply makes no sense.

Thank you
