Yesterday I upgraded to the newest version of Firefox (66.0, 64-bit). I use Avast Antivirus for virus protection, and I noticed after I upgraded to the new version of Firefox and went to go online, the Avast Online Security Browser Extension showed that the automatic blocking of trackers was disabled, so I clicked More Settings and re-checked the things that were previously unchecked (the do not track boxes), afterwhich I clicked Save, and everything was A-OK.
After I was finished, I closed the page I was on.
When I went back in awhile later, the same thing occurred, and I had to do the same thing all over again.
I'm not sure what to do so I don't have to keep repeating the same process over & over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm unsure whether this is Firefox-related or Avast-related. I did post over at Avast's forums, too.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
Can anyone advise?
I've been in hospital for 3 weeks and therefore not used my emails for that time.
Upon trying to open Thunderbird, ALL Imap data had disappeared. After re-entering imap email account passwords (normally done automatically by Thunderbird), EVERY email, ever, had to be re-downloaded.
I just want to know under what circumstances this happens? (To try and avoid the major hassle and delay again going forward).
I do have a theory, and it might not be Thunderbird's "fault". While I was away my hosting company also messed something up and my account had been temporarily suspended. But it was after the hosting was back up and running again that EVERY message needed to be re-downloaded again to the email client.
Would this be because of the temporary suspension of hosting services in the interim, or does Thunderbird do this any time that you haven't used your emails in a few weeks?
Thanks for any advice,
Piers.

Thunderbird goes into a loop complaining about a message missing from gloda

Periodically I notice Thunderbird using 50-100% CPU, and the error console shows a message like the following repeated once a second:
2019-03-21 00:31:29 gloda.index_msg WARN Observed header that claims to be gloda indexed but that gloda has never heard of during compaction. In folder: mailbox:<mailbox> sketchy key: 615 subject: <subject>
<mailbox> and <subject> are always valid mailboxes and message subjects in that mailbox, and that message repeats once per second with the same value for <mailbox> and <subject>.
Per another (now archived) question, I quit TB, remove global-messages-db.sqlite, restart TB, and that fixes the problem... for a while, but it eventually (a few hours to a day) recurs.
There seem to be two problems here:
- The database getting corrupted in the first place. - TB handling that corruption poorly, repeatedly looking up the same message in the database instead of, at least, just shrugging (figuratively :-) ) and moving to the next message.

OK I was tidying up my bookmarks that over the years through various iterations of Firefox /chrome. But first I disconnected from sync and elected to delete all the saved sync information. I then went through and tidied all my book marks getting rid of any duplicates and ones with broken links. All good. Next I closed everything down and restarted. Had all my bookmarks just how I wanted them. Reconnected to my Firefox account to update all the saved data from my machine to account. Went away to allow time to sync. Closed Firefox after an hour or so. Open Firefox and automatically connected to my Firefox account. All the bookmarks are there as I had left them. No problem. Firefox seemed to delete all the browsing history (or maybe it didn't sync it in the first place). BUT.....no container data. It has reset the containers to the default state. Pretty sure this is not how sync should work. but when I open a private browser its container data seems to be intact. Anyone struck this? I notice Firefox updated to 66 on 19/3/2019 Love containers, its close to what the internet should be like I know container data has not yet been made part of sync (everyone wants it!) but is this a bug or something they forgot to tell us in the new release. EDIT Bit more information. websites will not open in new container. Firefox gives prompt to always open in xxx container but then simply hangs

Hello
This is almost the case at all stations in the company. Employees sometimes report me missing emails from Sent or INBOX folders. Mails are not deleted or moved. After logging in to the WebMail (by Web browser) service, emails are visible in individual boxes. The problem is solved by removing the account from Thunderbird, deleting the IMAP Mail directory, setting and synchronizing everything from scratch. Such situations are happening more often.
Please, solve the problem

Hello,
after updating Firefox to v66.0, neither was I able to open pages like Wikipedia, Paypal etc nor any of my customers' websites.
This link helped me by saying to delete the SiteSecurityServiceState.txt file in the profile directory: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1162567
Since it isn't the first time this happened after an update, I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to provide such solutions on the respective error page. Even better, of course, if Firefox would automatically empty that file in such cases. Searching for a solution on the web brings up weird solutions for long outdated Firefox versions and the solution I found on these support pages has already been archived. After all such a problem is killing the work flow - and quite honestly I wonder how normal users and non English speakers will get along.

I just updated yesterday to ver.64 and found that the syncing with phone records had dissapeared; so i had to redo it all.
Then today i went into my login info to get a password; and ALL OF MY MANY YEARS OF LOGINS WERE GONE!!!
Except for 2 which are BOTH FIREFOX Logins. Am extremely lucky that they are still on my phone!
So why did Firefox Wipe out all of my logins and passwords? It had to be Firefox because if not; Why out of 50 - 60? the only ones left in the saved logins are Firefox. In both my 32 and 64 bit apps on my computer!
1.) What did Firefox do with all of my login data?
2.) How do i go about copying all of them i still have on phone to my computer now; without painstakenly doing it by hand, one at a time?
What i do know; is there is no way in H...l i will take chance with your syncing system again; even though it may not have been the cause. But it had to be that or the update. So when they were removed, are they still somewhere hidden, or deleted?
I know that I had nothing to do with it.

I am getting dozens of emails every day which includes attachments like .ISO, .CAB, .DLL and so on. I have searched the Internet and tried everything to work out a way to delete these messages as soon as they are downloaded.
I am okay to keep deleting them myself but I worry about my office girls inadvertently trying to open the attachment and installing malicious software.
Over many weeks I have spent days looking for options to protect myself from a swathe of emails with dangerous attachments but I cannot find anything. Does anyone have any ideas please ?
These are the sort of attachments we are getting .ADE, .ADP, .APK, .BAT, .CHM, .CMD, .COM, .CPL, .DLL, .DMG, .EXE, .HTA, .INS, .ISP, .JAR, .JS, .JSE, .LIB, .LNK, .MDE, .MSC, .MSI, .MSP, .MST, .NSH .PIF, .SCR, .SCT, .SHB, .SYS, .VB, .VBE, .VBS, .VXD, .WSC, .WSF, .WSH, .CAB

Since the last update to Firefox, cause it wanted to bugged me NON STOP, every time I restart my PC Firefox act's like it crashed giving me the " sorry. we’re having trouble getting your pages back. " and just not after starting the PC up and letting it sit there I saw a pop up saying Firefox has crashed even tho it was NEVER OPEN, but i guess something in 65.0.2 causing Firefox to run when the system boot that then crashes EVERY TIME. No crash report is saved as far as i can see tho.
