Every time I change the settings in the image attached, once I close the browser, the settings are reversed back. My changes do not persist if Firefox closes or my PC turns off. My other settings persist when I make changes. I only get this error when I try to edit the Privacy settings.

What is causing this, and how can I stop it?

SMIME certificate still available after removal

Hi all,

for signing PDFs with my SMIME certificate, another 3rd party software (LibreOffice) uses the Thunderbird profile folder (nssdb stored which is located there). After some investigation by myself, it could be a problem within Thunderbird certificate management itself.

Situation: I've a current and some outdated SMIME certificates for my mail address. But all for one mail address.

Because the current SMIME certificate is not accessible for LibreOffice, I removed temporary all of my outdated SMIME certificates from Thunderbird by the builtin certificate management, i.e. the list of my personal certificates was set to one entry (=the current certificate) in Thunderbird. But even then, LibreOffice lists only an outdated certificate (which is not visible anymore in the Thunderbird builtin certificate management).

Therefore I've checked with certutil the nssdb entries in the Thunderbird profile folder. Surprisingly, there is an outdated SMIME to my mail address contained (no further, even not the current one). Even after removal of those outdated certificates via the builtin certificate management. The current certificate is never listed; always only an outdated one.

This looks like a difference between builtin certificate management and nssdb within the profile folder (or may for another storage location of the certificates)?

certutil -L -d ~/.thunderbird/myprofilefolder --email mymailaddress

Thanks in advance!

Some sites do not work correctly even if I select Custom and uncheck the boxes there, but these sites work in Google Chrome. One of the examples is the Twitch site. It's not displayed correctly in some places and there are probably other sites. I wouldn't want to add these sites manually, because personally I don't see any point in it for myself. I really hope that Mozilla has provided the ability to completely disable this function using standard tools (settings or about:config), without installing any extensions.

Thank you!

Why when I view a site in a private window are the cookies saved in the cookies and site data list on the privacy and security page of my main firefox pages. I though when you used private windows no cookies or history was saved once you closed the page.
