No matter how many times I clear "everything" from history, I still see firefox suggestions on the new tab page from websites I visited months ago. This is really annoying and could be embarrassing if you were on certain sites. I will NEVER understand why the default is to hang on to old data.....when it should be the opposite; users should choose to retain ONLY the history they choose to. I have CLEAR HISTORY when firefox closes checked....this is BROKEN please fix it

Occasionally some of my contacts said they were not receiving my emails. Therefore I sent an email to myself and it did not arrive. When I checked my sent box my email was there but the sent address consisted of the first part of my own address, followed by a completely different address, which I traced to a Spanish email provider: @d4.com.mx

It looks like my sent emails are sometimes being re-directed to someone else's address. How can this happen and more important how can it be stopped?

Recently on line viewing panda webcams (thinking I was at zoo in California). Unfortunately, China and Japan both picked up during this viewing. I am no longer able to simply delete cookies - due to constant updates. I have attempted to delete them - following asst., information that is available. I am 82 years old - and not that savy with a lot of the computer instructions on line.

ANY suggestions and/or help - appreciated more than you know.

Hi Thunderbird Support Team,

I recently installed the latest version of Thunderbird in a Hyper-V virtual machine and encountered the following message: " Approval required Mozilla Thunderbird This app requires your admin's approval to: Read and write access to mailboxes via IMAP. Read and write access to mailboxes via POP.

Allows the app to have the same access to mailboxes as the signed-in user via POP protocol.

This is a permission requested to access your data in xx Send emails from mailboxes using SMTP AUTH. Maintain access to data you have given it access to View users' basic profile"

This was functioning with the previous version of Thunderbird, but now my IT team requires additional information about what the app is trying to do with our Office 365 environment. The approval process is crucial because some apps may introduce security risks or seek extensive access to our Office 365 resources.

Could you please provide more detailed information on the permissions requested and the specific changes in this version compared to previous versions? This will help in getting the necessary approval from our IT team.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Jenny

One of the add-in permissions is "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain". I looked at that and thought, "That certainly cannot include passwords"; BUT the explanation for this permission is: "The extension could read the content of web pages you visit in the specified domain, as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. "

I was stunned.

That means that addins that get this permission have access to my banking/medical/etc. usernames & passwords. This is not acceptable. Can a permission be developed that would be: "Access your data for sites in the “named” domain" (except usernames/passwords).

The permission "Access your data for all websites" is significantly worse in that it applies to all sites.
