Dear Mozilla community

I recently re-downloaded a Thunderbird on MAC OSX (catalina) and wondered how nice it is now! My compliments to all of you!

My concern: My computer firewall is asking me whether I should allow Thunderbird access to live.thunderbird.net forever. I did granted one day access. Then (after a restart and a couple of days later of course) Thunderbird blocked itself from downloading my email messages from my email servers.

So I stated: Thunderbird does need an access to live.thunderbird.net (for what I do not know) otherwise it blocks.

My question: What for is Thunderbird requesting an access to that address ? What data are transmitted to third parties or to live.thunderbird.net ?

Honestly: I had preferred, it would not need to operate any remote access (except to my email servers) and I am now a little scared of what I did... (information about accounts ... passwords...)

Sorry for asking that, I appreciate you write, you are working for people safety, but indeed I am a bit "paranoid" and need to know in order not to ending up developing also my own email reader ... (hope not).

Maybe the answer here can be in seeing the source code, But I wanted to give it here a try.

Thanks a lot in advance for any hints on this topic Kind regards Fabio

This has been working for days, but now it gives me this (see attached pictures)

This happened once another day but then it auto resolved. What should happen is the plugin would load and be playable in the tab. The plugin is coming from the same site, just a different url. Other plugins work, just not these. It doesn't make any sense because the page doesn't use google at all; that's just the login mechanism for the main page, websim. If I am logged into websim and to google this message should never popup, but it does and it blocks me and other users from using the tabs as intended.

I tried clearing cache, cookies, rebooting, etc. I logged into google, etc.

Any of the GRAST tabs do this: https://websim.ai/@Or9

This uri is the tab that tries to auto load: https://websim.ai/@Or9/m-grast You can find the others in pinned projects. I can access the uri just fine, it doesn't ask for login.

Any ideas on how to fix this? It doesn't seem right that Google can block my use of the plugin because I'm not logged in, even when I am actually logged in. Seems like a bug, probably browser side. Can someone figure this out for us?

Arch/Firefox

Firefox is no longer saving all my history. OR, I can't find it. I can't find it because: HISTORY/SHOW ALL HISTORY is now only showing "today". This occurred with v133, but I do not know if it occurred with any given update. I updated to 134.0.1. That did not fix problem. I have not tried regressing.

In the past, I was able to save YEARS of history (although I sometimes created a new profile to restart the history file due to its size).

1. I was using the "DYNAMIC HISTORY" addon, which worked fine for years. When I found Firefox was showing only the current days' history, I disabled that addon. Didn't fix anything.

2. "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option IS NOT SELECTED. NEVER HAS BEEN

3. OTHER SETTINGS: no - Always use private browsing mode yes - Remember browsing and download history yes - Remember search and form history NO - Clear history when Firefox closes

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am also baffled: googling this problem comes up empty handed.

Please advise on how to remove osite data

I do the following but it fails to remove website info

Setttings -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data check all options Clear Data -> Clear go to Manage Data ~ 12 sites are there with last used show 2 & 3 years ago Remove All -> Save Changes -> Clear Now going back into Manage Data, all the sites are still there none of those sites are included under Manage Exceptions

How do I remove the old site info?

In previous versions of Firefox (up to version 133), it was possible to automatically trigger printing of a PDF file by loading it into an iframe from a sandboxed iframe and call print. However, starting with version 134, this no longer works.

Is there any other way to automatically trigger the print dialog for a PDF file in Firefox, similar to how it can be done in Chrome/Edge (e.g., by opening the PDF in a new window and directly triggering the print dialog without additional button clicks)?

You have suddenly blocked my access to BlueSky. Please restore it. Now. Blocking this on the eve of the new President's installation makes me question your motivation.

So I'm going through hacking if thieft,,so sick off it my home been broken into I got cameras 53 yrs old disabled..I'm on low income don't have nothing to steal or break there getting i my email michaelscoppa104@gmail I need help asap

I don’t know what can be done I have reported this account problem for over 3 months and I still don’t have any resolution. I go to sleep and wake up and see that my IPHONE settings have been disabled and changed, apps that I have deleted are back up. I am constantly having to update my passwords. I try to log into my Apple account but it says that my phone number is already in use! I’m getting frustrated and I have no time for this issue any longer! Unless you can resolve this issue please do not contact me!

outrageous, i moved from windows to debian for the purpose of exceling my ram capacity on this low spec netbook with 4GB 3.7GB usable with emmc chip and a celeron n4000 cpu turns out ff eats just like in windows.

I am not an expert just savy, remember the time when upgrading from 32MB to 64MB was a big leap? well where the hell did 4GB of ram became obsolete? so there's no windows conspiracy just exponential ram usage?

Is there a different version of FF i could use for this 4GB machine? non-upgradable I could always try vivaldi or look else where but i trust FF for base security. I am using ublock origin on the machine too and 1 custom theme but i doubt that fixes the root cause. Is all the internet in the 2020s this ram voracious beast?

upon loading a empty tab FF uses 500MB for itself forget about the 64MB system ram from the 90s is FF 2025 really so complex or is this a conspiracy? then i load startpage.com and it uses 200MB!! of ram just on that search form man.

I have been using Firefox for years. Recently the site locks up and I have to close Firefox via task manager. Is there a fix. I am a Microsoft user. Other browsers like Edge do not freeze’

Thunderbird stopped working. I received the following message - "Add Security Exception You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores and other public sites will not ask you to do this. Location: smtp.optusnet.com.au:25 This site attempts to identify itself with invalid inforation The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site

Permanently store this exception"

I have clicked on 'Confirm Security Exception" but I still can't send or receive emails.

Semaphore.social is a mastodon/fediverse web client. I've been using it without issue up to now and it has not updated recently.

After a few hours running the CPU usage of Firefox becomes very high (25-50%) and the about:performance shows that it is due to this tab, which shows at values from 110 to 160% or thereabouts.

I haven't noticed this before updating to Firefox 134.0 so I suspect it may be a Firefox regression.

However I cannot work out what the cause is, how to fix it, or if I should file a bug on it.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?
