Hi there, in my settings in firefox: there is a website that refuses to go away from the "Manage Data" section of the "Cookies and Site Data" section of my Firefox settings. I will select to remove all of the cookies ever, and even when I refresh the settings page, or close and restart the App, or turn my computer off and on again, it is still there. Strange! I would like assistance with this.

of note, I've checked w/ third party extensions that manage cookies, and that website doesn't show up when I manage cookies via said extension.

I have MacOS Big Sur, 11.7.10. I have the latest version of Firefox.

Thank you!

When in private browsing, I am often asked to agree to website cookie policies before proceeding. What happens when I agree or disagree? Some sites make it easy to reject all, others don’t but what happens in Firefox if I agree in order to continue?

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.

When checked in the settings menu for active emails the option to mark an incoming email as SPAM does not appear as a choice in the drop down dialogue. Is this unavailable currently or is this broken as of this date 11-1-24?

I think I need a walk-through with links to focus what I'm missing. Short version, I need TBird Android to backup/save private keys so I can take them and import them to TBird in my Kali Linux and Windows installs so everything uses the same keys.

Longer story: I'm finally digging in to Thunderbird (coming away from Outlook client) using GMail. I'm doing this because I am beginning to migrate away from Windows to Linux so I need something neutral and capable. As of today I'm not completely off Windows so I need to dual boot for a while. And as a bonus, TBird for Android was just released.

First, A month ago I got TBird running in both OS's. I wanted to set up digital signatures and encryption because I'm interested in security and.. why not. Under WIN TBird I started the key generation, but then it pushed me down a road to say I needed to purchase a service from a Cert Auth to use SMIME. Possible would be DigiCert for about $75/yr and I googled and found SSL.com is spoken well about for $14/yr or $20 for 2-yr. I haven't gone that far yet. First question.. do I NEED and S/MIME cert to encrypt and sign?

Now I've discovered TBird for Android was released. I got it going and in its e2e section it also allowed key generation and usage for encryption and signature. Now I'm second guessing the need for the cert. I did that there, published it to keys.openpgp.org, made it public And now I want to sync my new key-set between my 3 instances of TBird.

Next issue is that I cant seem to find where I can export/back up my private key from TBird Android. Next I will need to move it to my PC (securely.. not using one drive.. etc) so my 2 instances of TBird here can import it.

So like I opened up with, I think I (and maybe the community at large) needs a walk-through of the links to the steps to accomplish setting up encryption, and backing up/moving it over to other instances of ThunderBird.

(Wouldn't an account login for TBird be useful to sync settings the way Firefox does right about now?)

Thanks all. -Guy

I can't open many internet sites and get the comment that I do not use an actual browser. I did a refresh and cleaning, delete the program, install new, but the problems exists.

Want to copy (permanently) saved logins as they appear in Manage Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Data from one profile to another.

Note, have looked through the suggested and relevant topics, but have found nothing that specifically answers this request.

I'm not getting audio playin in Firefox, and I can confirm audio plays okay in Chrome all okay. Have tried the following:..

(1) Checked the Firefox privacy settings for audio .. Nothing being blocked (2) Checked Windows mixer settings .. Nothing being blocked (3) Cleared browser cache in Firefox .. No changes (4) Undertook Firefox refresh .. No changes (5) Reinstalled audio drivers .. No changes (6) Downloaded Firefox Developers edition .. Audio does work

So my conclusion is that there is a problem with normal edition of Firefox with playing audio ?

What wrong here and how do I get it fixed please ?

File explorer has an error message saying “Thunderbird doesn’t have access permission to OneDrive. Ensure you have the right permissions to allow the item to sync.” How do I resolve it?

When I install a desktop firefox update, the extension parameter in LastPass, that will let me close LastPass if not used for 30 minutes, is changed. The option is unclicked and the time removed. So every update, I have to check the LastPass extension parameters - a total pain.

If I don't notice, this means lastpass and all my passwords are left open and available to a hacker all the time. I chose a close time because I want to. Probably others do, too.

Please try to identify and find what in your updates is changing this option and STOP doing that. Or provide a warning of what parameters need to be checked/will be changed. Thanks

I am getting a very annoying screen that asks if I want to autofill an address. Since I am part of a registration team that has sometimes several hundred applications to process, it is VERY VERY ANNOYING to be asked if I want to save an address of a person on the application (most of whom I don't even know). I have "unchecked" the "autofill address" under Privacy & Security, but I'm still getting the screen. Any help that can provide would be greatly appreciates.

Hi,

since today my cookie-deletion-prompt is super small and therefore not usable. I cannot resize the window or scroll etc.

Does anyone else has this problem? I already updated Firefox but that did not help.

Greetings
