Launch Firefox, manually check for latest update by going to settings > Help > About Firefox. However the manual update keep showing update failed. Other than Mozilla config file, can we use GPO to configure auto update for Firefox browser?

To begin with I fell asleep with my PC on, and I woke up a couple of hours later, and I noticed my computer was running a little rough, so I decided to check task manager, and I saw Firefox using 20 gb's of ram, and 50% disk usage.

I had a couple of tabs open, and seeing that it was stressing my SSD, I decided to quickly close the process, and I checked through all the tabs, and there was only one tab that had crashed when I had ended the task on it. I am running version 99.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 21H2.

It was this link to a job posting for Riot Games. It had said that the tab had crashed and I had the option to refresh the tab. Not sure if it really was this or the tab just had some memory attached to that process. I had panic closed the process in task manager and forgot to screenshot anything else sadly.

Any ideas to what it was? Maybe just a memory leak or bug? My first instinct was to run a virus scan with Malwarebytes, and so far it has nothing, and I did a full scan of everything.

Have my extensions in the images. I've had these extensions for a long time at this point, I'm not sure if they would be the culprit or not.

I've never really seen or heard of this before, and this is the first time it's happened, and I don't know if it'll be repeatable either, just a bit worried about it is all.

Hi It seem I cannot send Emails' it comes up with this message Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: [TPG-A02] Authentication denied. User jdeboer8@tpg.com.au is banned from using SMTP AUTH due to previous abuse. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. I have checked that my Email address is correct

Opened Thunderbird yesterday afternoon - all as normal no problems, nothing wrong. Opened Thunderbird last night - all accounts and emails disappeared TB asking for "new account setup" Tried to resolve by renaming the default profile to my profile Every time I set the new profile to "default" and restart TB reverts to the original default?

This is a self-hosted extension, that initially seemed to be updating. Using File > Open, the current installed version is 1.8.61

In the approved extension's (1.8.61) manifest:

 "browser_specific_settings": {
   "gecko": {
     "id": "fasty@a_domain.com",
     "update_url": "https://a_domain.com/appextension/updates.json"
   }
 },

After tapping Check For Updates, I can see the following in Browser Console:

11:28:34.044 XHR GET https://a_domain.com/appextension/updates.json [HTTP/2 200 OK 254ms] 11:28:34.201 1651073314201 addons.update-checker DEBUG Found an update entry for fasty@a_domain.com version 1.8.61 11:28:34.201 1651073314201 addons.update-checker DEBUG Found an update entry for fasty@a_domain.com version 1.8.7

Here is where the issue gets interesting. Having downloaded all the xpi files, supposedly signed, today while attempting to manually install a newer version, Firefox oftentimes complains "This add-on could not be installed because it has not been verified." The Console reports:

12:06:36.478 1651075596478 addons.xpi WARN Download of https://a_domain.com/appextension/fasty-1.8.7-fx.xpi failed: signature is required but missing

According to the Developer Hub, the resulting xpi has been signed.

I don't know what to try to get automatic updates to work. Please suggest.

I POP from a google account. Lately Google has been refusing access saying

On 5/20/20Toad-Hall helpfully advised:

• If you use POP or Imap and use 'Authentication Method' = Normal Password, then in gmail webmail, you have to set up to use 'less secure mail' option even though it isn't less secure. It's just gmail scare tactics. You will still find gmail will block the account from accessing server on random occasions forcing you to access webmail and reset that option and usually they want you reset passwords and sometimes use 'Captcha' to get access. They claim they are only safe guarding your account.

• I strongly recommend that you access the Account Settings and select 'Authentication Method' = 'OAuth2' and also do the same for outgoing smtp settings. Then restart Thunderbird and the first time Thunderbird needs access to emails you will be prompted by gmail to enter email address and normal password to confirm you really are you. Then gmail applies an OAuth2 token which is stored in same place as passwords. From then onwards access to server will use that token. You should get a lot less hassle from gmail. But please remember, that you still use normal password when needing to access webmail.

But the incoming authentication was already OAuth2, and I can't see how to change the authentication on the outgoing server. -Please assist.

How do I stop this BS? I have several hundred pages bookmarked, and now after the last time I allowed firefox to update, I am unable to access 90% of them as I get the above message.

I would hope that I don't have to change browsers as all of the others I am aware of suck.

I accepted the upgrade of Thunderbird 78 and after that I cannot send emails. I can receive, but not send. I have checked with my provider, RCN and all is well on their end. I have checked with my security NORTON, and all is well on their side, even disabled the firewalls to prove it. So, there is something stopping email on Thunderbird side. I am not a techy person, so I need some serious guidance to know what to look at or to look for. and I am very very frustrated at this time. Thank you.

I am unable to upload the pdf of the snip for you review: It Reads: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.rcn.com failed. The Server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Thank you for your assistance.

I open the page that lists my posts: . . ./user/mjbower/questions. I cannot see where/how to delete almost duplicate posts.

Please provide complete path to delete posts.

I changed my home page by mistake. It was yahoo.com. Now it is "Sponsored Search by Quick Forms." How do I get rid of it?

Is Thunderbird an "insecure app" from Gmail's viewpoint?

Two recent emails from Gmail state on 30 May 2022 "insecure apps" will no longer work with Gmail. Despite warnings, Gmail don't state if Thunderbird is an insecure app, are they trying to force users onto their clunky front end through fear and misinformation? I have been using Thunderbird as a front end for Gmail for at least 15 years and never had security issues.

Login to Facebook and Nextdoor and probably many more social media platforms can now be done with your Gmail password. Both of those social media platforms have real security issues; therefore I find Gmail's advance warnings contradictory in the extreme.

To reiterate wil Thunderbird be affected, if so can its configuration be tweaked allow continued use of Thunderbird as a Gmail front end after 30 May 2022?

Thankyou, Rich
