As of this morning, I can't "get mail"... I get the "security exception" dialog stating the certificate belongs to a different site (which, it ALWAYS has) and giving me the option to permanently store the exception. Problem is, the exception IS already stored... it's just not WORKING any more. Certificate has NOT changed or expired, as near as I can tell... and this configuration was working for YEARS before this morning.

https://www.gfashion.com/en/ This website is important for me. I have saved all passwords and users info to firefox. When I login in , the username and password is empty.

Even if I click the username input box, the stored user list will not be displayed, but when I click the password box, the stored user password list can be displayed, which is unacceptable. I also tried in mobile version. It is the same thing.

I have used all the methods mentioned in Support, but still cannot solve the problem. But the website works well in Chrome and Edge. Although I like this software very much, I have to use it sparingly because it is troublesome to log in every time. I hope you can support this type of website, thank you.

I've installed Thunderbird on a new MacBook with macOS Monterey, and the application is not requesting permission to access the Mac's Contacts. As a result, the macOS Address Book is empty and cannot read my contacts on my Mac.

This issue was first raised two years ago in an issue that was identified as a bug and was subsequently fixed and closed. It appears this bug has reappeared.

What should happen is Thunderbird should generate a system request to ask the user to allow it to access "Contacts". This request never appears. When I look at my Mac's System Preferences, under Security & Privacy -> Contacts, there is no entry for Thunderbird. I can't manually add this; the app has to generate the request.

Looking at my console, I found the following warning when I started Thunderbird:

Refusing authorization request for service kTCCServiceAddressBook and subject Sub:{org.mozilla.thunderbird}Resp:{<TCCDProcess: identifier=org.mozilla.thunderbird, pid=9492, auid=501, euid=501, binary_path=/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird>} without NSContactsUsageDescription key

This message was reported in the bug referenced above. I believe something has probably changed in the latest version of macOS which is causing Thunderbird to incorrectly request access to Contacts from the system.

Should I reopen the bug? Create a new bug? Please advise.

Regarding having correct settings for smtp server...After working fine for a couple of years, in May my Thunderbird email client starting getting an error when trying to send email, requiring having to wait and retry multiple times to get the email to send without getting the timeout error. I spent a lot of time in May to resolve without success, then a lot more time this month. I have tried several different settings for "Authentication method" and "Connection Security" The smtp settings specified by my email provider, WOW, either don't match the Thunderbird options, or result in error. A different set of settings I tried seem to work, as well as a variation of what a WOW rep emailed to me in May. However I wonder if either of these settings cause any security issues to be concerned about--that is my main question now, since sending email seems to be working fine again.

1) The other week I set smtp server settings to Authentication method: Normal password Connection Security: STARTTLS That has been working fine for a couple weeks without error. However since WOW says they don't support STARTTLS is that a problem to specify those settings?

2) What one WOW rep specified in May on a screen shot with a handwritten note: Authentication method: Normal password Connection Security: None However when I specify "Connection Security: None" the only option allowed for Authentication method is: "Password, transmitted insecurely." Email seems to work without error with those settings. However is "Password, transmitted insecurely" a problem? Or is that OK? (Transmitted Insecurely doesn't sound reassuring!)

In multiple calls and hours of time with my email provider, WOW, they say they don't have any information about what the settings should be for Thunderbird, and despite their efforts have not been very helpful. Attached is some information they have provided on different occasions, or from the web site. Screen shot -- Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings Standard POP3 Server information Email Server Settings

I have the above showing on all my messages and no sender email address. It means I don't know who sent the message and I can't reply directly back. Another correspondent mentioned I needed to turn off the VPN but the link he gave me I cannot find the settings to do it.

I have been bouncing around with this daily for about two weeks, I have searched the help topics and the internet and asked every forum I know. I am nearly in tears with this!

Can anyone help me in a way that I can fix this. I am not a computer engineer so can re-write strings etc.

Hello,

With the previous version of Mozilla Firefox, I was able to preview my work by passing privacy.file_unique_origin to false.

Now with the new update (95.0), it doesn't work anymore.

Can you please provide a solution to this issue?

Thanks in advance

I have 6 gmail accounts which until last Thursday were all working fine on Thunderbird. However, I received an email for my main account from google telling me that they were switching on 2 step authentication, whether I wanted it or not.

After that imap stopped working for this 1 account. So I logged out of google for this account, and logged in again, using 2 step via phone. Still not working.

So I checked all my Imap settings with googles instructions, updated from the default smtp server, and still nothing.

Went back to google, and found I could switch off 2 step verification which I did. Thunderbird now partially works. I can download emails but when I come to send or save as draft, I get the error message as shown.

Good day,

Really happy to see that mozilla is tightening up security. But unfortunately, I can't enroll into Two-Step Authentication everytime I enter code it's not being accepted. I tried multiple android apps of those codes and non of them work for me.

Because of that, I lost access to addons.mozilla.com account, because system doesn't let me in without 2step auth enabled.

Any chance I can use yubikey's intead of those auth apps? or anything else I can do?

It seems that there was an internal page for permissions, namely about:permissions. As I was trying to find an answer to my question, I found many volunteers at Mozilla Support would talk about this, but what I'm asking for is different. I'm looking for a way to list websites per permission, that is, when I want to disable a permission for a bunch of websites at once, I specify the permission and remove the websites I do not want to have that permission. In one of the questions on the site, an extension called SQLite Manager was mentioned and seemed to be the solution. This extension, though, doesn't exist anymore. If what I'm looking for can be done through this extension, I'd like to know if there is an alternative. If it doesn't serve the purpose that I am talking about, I'd be happy to know if there is a different workaround.

Firefox for android is asking for a pin but I am sure I have never created a pin for Firefox and it does not accept an empty. It also does not appear to have aplace for pin creation. I found a support notr that talked about windows credentials, but I am currently on android and my main computer is Linux. How do I find out what pin it wants?

Hello,

I am unable to remember my Firefox account password after re imaging my computer. Fortunately, I did create and save my recovery keys.

I've reviewed the following article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-your-firefox-account-password-recovery-keys

However, when I click the pass reset link in the email as dictated in step 2 under the 'Reset your password with your recovery keys' section, I do not see any fields to enter my recovery key as highlighted in step 3. I haven't taken this step yet because I do not want to lose my password and bookmark information associated to my account.

Can you please confirm how to utilize my recovery codes?

Thank you for your time.

I'm using Thunderbird for gmail in IMAP mode. In my IMAP folder, I have a Junk subfolder, and in my Gmail subfolder I have a Spam subfolder. What is the difference between these? Does Gmail determine Spam, and Thunderbird determine Junk? Are BOTH Spam and Junk used for the Thunderbird adaptive junk filter log?

I have the "Autofill in other apps" service set to Firefox but when I attempt to enter a password in any app, I get a message taht says "Unlock Firefox." Tapping on this message does nothing; the message just keeps popping up. No password options appear. If I manually start typing the password, the message goes away, but I am not able to autofill passwords in apps.

If I turn the Autofill in other apps service off, at least I don't get the annoying message, but I'd really like to be able to autofill the passwords. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I followed instructions posted on a TB fourm on how to generate an app password in order for my TB to work with AOL. I'm receiving mail in Thunderbird but can't send. I suspect that I may not have followed the instructions completely and would like to start over. Do I need to delete the AOL generated password on AOL and create a new one or just create a new one for the outgoing server? Would appreciate any help! JD

Hi Firefox is not showing Accept the risk and continue-button when advance button is clicked. Due to this i am not able to access server. Image is attached for reference.

I tried most of the things i know (reinstalled, clear cookies and data, cleared history) but it's not showing this option.

Using 96.0.2 (64-bit) on Window 10.

Pls support

Hello, I received a Yubikey 5 and all is working fine using GPG with it, except integration with Thunderbird on Windows.

I followed this guide: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards including 64 windows section

I was able to successfully send mail to myself, but then thunderbird failed at decrypting this message: Thunderbird is indicating that key is not available and I see no prompt from gpg-agent. Key is correctly declared as GPG external.

If I try to decrypt tis email by storing it on file and using gpg in command line, it works fine: agent is asking for Yubikey PIN and gpg is decrypting the message. But this is an awful workaround, not user friendly at all.

I also did sanity check by sending to myself a message encrypted with a key generated by Thunderbird: all is working fine, the message is decrypted within Thunderbird.

=> How do you make Thunderbird decrypt message encrypted with key stored in Yubikey? How do you make the gpg-agent called by thunderbird?
