Firefox declare to be aware of privacy but as soon as I use Firefox to go on the internet, I immediately get connections from these 2 addresses : 34.107.243.93 34.107.221.82 in addition to the address of the site I connect to.

And sometimes, I receive so many connection attempts on ports that are not implied in the connection I have established with the initial site (conntrack) that I am obliged to disconnect the network. An example below : oct. 06 16:10:59 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=121 ID=19614 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:10:59 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=121 ID=19615 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:00 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=122 ID=19616 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:00 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=122 ID=19617 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:01 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=124 ID=19618 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:03 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=122 ID=19619 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 oct. 06 16:11:06 localhost kernel: net-fw DROP IN=enp5s0 OUT= MAC=f0:2f:74:22:64:20:70:fc:8f:50:5b:de:08:00 SRC=34.107.221.82 DST=10.98.0.24 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=121 ID=19620 PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=59118 WINDOW=1050 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0

This does not happen with other browsers like Konqueror, Falcon, etc. I suffered an attack in this way in the past with heavy consequences. Is there a way to configure Firefox in order to suppress it ?

Firefox freezes when I try to sign into YouTube via Google. Becomes totally unresponsive and I have to close browser. It's the only site this happens on. I have cleared the cache and cookies, unchecked "Hardware Acceleration" and other recommendations from other posts. Please talk to me like I'm your Baby Boomer dad.

I've used Thunderbird with the Owl add-on for Exchange/Outlook accounts for several years. Recently I've found when I open Thunderbird on my laptop, a tab opens for each account, apparently showing the Outlook web page for each account. This is great, but on the same version of Thunderbird (140.3.1esr) on my desktop, that doesn't happen. I can't see how to open these tabs there, or even how to reopen one of these tabs on my laptop, except from Go->Recently Closed Tabs. Am I missing something? What controls this behaviour?

The favicons on my homepage are not appearing when I launch Firefox, and I can't find any way to restore them. Turning the favicons on/off in the settings doesn't help, it just moves the location of the search bar. I've included some images to better illustrate the problem.

Is there any way we can restore the favicons?

Most of my Comcast Mail is going directly to Trash. Many of these e-mails have a green dot. What does this green dot mean? Why is all this happening? I don't have a problem with Outlook Mail or GMail?

Jag behöver hjälp med att Thunderbird inte längre fungerar vid lagring av mail. Varken till Arkivet eller Skickat mappen. Alltså jag kan inte se om jag skickat ett mail. Roland H

When I use on line banking and I want to look at a check, I can not get Firefox to render a check image. Also I downloaded tickets to an event and FF would not render the Q-code on the tickets. I what to know what settings to change in order to do online banking. BTW it works in Chromium Browser, but I do not use it and have little knowledge about Chromium, I just have it on my laptop for troubleshooting.

I have pop up blockers set to allow pop up blockers, but ev en though they are turned on. Firefox will not allow pop up windows in the learning management software (D2L brightspace) used at my university.

hi, my emails are set never to delete but they are disappearing after three weeks. If I scroll down today, I can't see any emails before the 16th of September. If I know what I am looking for, the emails appear in the search function. Does anyone know why they are not in the inbox? My settings are set so that emails never delete.

Two questions .......... You have my operating system as windows 10, it is windows 11 ??? ......... 2nd question ......... when I bring up Firefox it shows the weather for Chicago, I live in Minneapolis/St. Paul area, following your weather location change instruction, the weather still goes back to Chicago.

This issue has been confirmed on 140.3.1esr (64-bit).

When adding a new account via IMAPS/SMTPs connection, if it's the first time saving a draft or sending an email, the emails do not move to the Drafts or Sent Items folders as expected. Instead, they move to a newly created folder in the Local Folders. Furthermore, the special folder settings in the account configuration automatically change to point to the Local Folders instead of the connected IMAPs folder.

Testing with Thunderbird 128.14.0esr did not reproduce this issue.

I suspect this issue might stem from a mapping problem with Japanese folder names in the Japanese localization. (e.g., “下書き” as “Drafts”, ‘送信済みトレイ’ as “Sent”, etc...) Alternatively, could this be a change in behavior?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Folks,

I want to seek opinion on how to manage the virus detected in emails (or its attachments) through Kaspersky Anti Virus.

I have large no of emails in TB stored in mbox format. Around 30GB in Inbox and another 5GB in Sent, etc. I also use Kaspersky Internet Security which has anti-virus also active.

Now my anti virus detects some infected emails. How to clean the infected virus emails / attachments.

Question: 1) When using mbox file on TB, is Kaspersky capable to delete ONLY a single specific infected file from the entire mbox data without any corruption of mail data? 2) If not, how to setup the anti-virus to automatically clean, disinfect and delete/quanrantine individual mail. ?

3) Is MailDir a better way to save emails in profile and use anti-virus. There is a warning on Maildir saying its still not settled and may have bugs. Is that true even today ?

Thanks & Regards, Tejas

Hello, I put the HTTPS mode Only mode on my OS for Imac, and I would like to put it on my iPhone 14, but I can't find how to do it, can you help me? THANKS. Best regards, christophe

Hi, thank you for reading this :) Since a week or two I have issues with drops in framerate of videos. It happened first on youtube but since then also on other platforms with other video players.

I've tried troubleshooting mode, fresh install, different network. Nothing helps. Speedtest has me at 160 mbps up and down.

The audio runs smoothly in all this though, it really is just the video that drops.

I use firefox on a Macbook and have this feeling it started to happen when I upgraded to macOS Tahoe.

Thanks for any insight!

Can anyone please help me? I use Thunderbird email and for several weeks now I have been able to receive emails but not to send them. At first outgoing messages were refused with the messages "rejected by outgoing server." The outgoing server is PlusNet. I sought help from PlusNet and after several days they told me the problem was connected with their migrating email business to a third party, but was now solved. For a few hours I was able to send messages, soon reverted to the situation where incoming messages are received but outgoing messages are rejected. This time the rejection messages say "rejected due to internal server error." But surely, PlusNet IS the outgoing server? I give up. and PlusNet is hard to contact, they don't seem to accept emails anyway. So can any other TB user advise me, and am I the only one with this problem? PeterB

Thunderbird 143.0.1

My TBird updated this morning and everything turned to crap...

I have TBird set to check for emails every 15 minutes on 4 accounts. There are also 3 accounts that I monitor and check manually...

As soon as the 143.0.1 update touched home base TBird went ballistic. Withing in seconds of it checking for mail on the four accounts it then started deleting the accounts. Any mail was down loaded then poof!! No mail and No mail account. I had to crash dive my laptop to to stop it. Spent 3 hours trying to recover the emails and accounts and managed to reclaim 3 accounts out of the 4 but lost all the emails... After all that effort I was totally peeved and decided to uninstall TBird and revert to an older version... The icing on the cake TBird wont unistall because the YES button on the TBird Helper window wont activate...

After more than thirty years of supporting Firefox and Thunderbird... You have really dropped the ball with this one... As far as me getting an email when someone answers the thread... Good Luck...

As per the topic, since the MacOS 26.0.1 update Firefox freezes after resuming from sleep. Specifically, tab selection, page refreshes or menu selections cannot occur. Keyboard command to quit does work and after a reload all tabs, windows and function is restored

None of my extensions have changed and for the first week or so after the initial MacOS 26 release this issue wasn't occurring. No other application or system changes have occurred since 26.0.1.

This has just started happening today. When I open FF my recent tabs do NOT open. I have the option selected in settings to open with recent tabs. In history I do not have the option to re-open recently closed tabs.

Any suggestions how to fix this defect?

how do i recover all the tabs I had open? I do not have and have not had the option to "Restore previous session". I did go to recover tabs, but it was not all of them. Then I tried scrounger.html and that did not work.
