All of a sudden the allow location permission window is popping up repeatably. I have the option turned off and every time I go to Amazon or Home Depot or any such place the window ops up requesting that location location tracing for the sites. I tried toggling the on/off for the option but it didn't stop it. Help!

I have & use the T-Bird app on my desktop pc. I have it set up with a password for access when I click on the system tray icon to launch the program. It then asks me for my password, all good, yes, just as needed for security. But, as with other apps, I would like a second layer of security such as 2FA. I have an authenticator app on mobile phone for this additional layer of security for all my other apps, works great. I can't find this second layer of security on the T-Bird app, is it available, if so, where is it? Thank you.

I'm trying to restore my Thunderbird mailboxes from my old (essentially dead) computer's backup to a new computer. My first attempt failed. I need to understand what went wrong and how to correct it.

I installed Thunderbird on the new computer and used Profile Manager to create a profile in the location where I want to keep it (in the Documents folder, to simplify backup). Then I found the place where the mailboxes were kept and copied my old mailboxes there from the backup.

Then I started Thunderbird. Instead of displaying my old Inbox and a list of mailboxes, it displayed a screen that prompted me to define my email account. OK, that's fair; if the account information wasn't in the files I copied, Thunderbird would have to do that. After I defined the accounts (there are three), I quit and restarted Thunderbird, and it displayed my Inbox and mailboxes.

But not quite as I expected. I expected to see the mail that was on the old computer when I last backed it up. Then I planned to download mail to get everything that came in after that. Instead I found that Thunderbird had erased everything I copied over, then downloaded the new mail without me asking it to.

Now what? The new mail is still on the server, so I can repeat the whole process if I have to. First, though, I need to understand what went wrong.

Hello, I did just make a clean reinstallation of Thunderbird and while going through the setting I have notices that at Passwords / Save Passwords / `Show Passwords` my Account Passwords can be access with less effort.

My question now is, why is this even a feature?

In my mind, this should be by default off. Or at least informed me at the first account setup that my passwords are visible in the Settings, and if I want to set up a Master Password as well.

Is there an option to have the Button `Show Password` disable? Or if a Master Password have to be, then set it for only access `Show Password` but not for the login in to Thunderbird.

So that when I click on the sound icon, the tab is switched to instead of mute?

Hallo, ich habe am Mittwoch 26.02. das Programm PC-Cleaner gestartet und unter der Funktin "Optimieren" WINDOWS - Reparaturprüfung aktiviert. Das Programm lief ein paar Minuten, dann erfolgte ein Neustart, danach wartete ich sehr lange und es passierte nichts! Ich habe nach ca 1 - 1,5 Std. die Task abgebrochen! Wollte dann meinen Browser Firefox öffnen, was nicht mehr ging!!! ...genau so war es mit PC-Cleaner! Ich habe mich dann an den PC-Cleaner Support gewandt aber über den Chat nicht viel erreichen können! Ich wollte das gerne telefonisch klären - war aber auch nicht möglich! Nun habe ich auf die Rückmeldung eines Technikers gewartet! Mittlerweile konnte ich das Programm PC- Cleaner erfolgreich löschen und neu installieren! Aber mein Browswer funktioniert noch immer nicht trotz mehrfacher Neuinstallation! Ich kann Firefox öffnen allerdings nur als Admin, sehe dann meine Lesezeichen, kann aber keine Seite öffnen! Bitte info - Vielen Dank!

Now that Mozilla/Firefox have joined Google on the dark side, who is everyone switching to? I would like something that works well in both Windows and android. I hear Opera can't be trusted and I don't like how there are like 6 difference versions of Opera in the android app store. DuckduckGo is just badly made IMO. Edge causes some glitches with one of the sites I use most. Should I try Brave? I just want a browser to BROWSE the web. I don't want AI. I don't need a VPN or adblock built in. I don't want a "gamer" browser. A decent local password manager would be nice but I don't want to have to make an account to use it. I know if the product is free, you are the product, so I would almost prefer a browser you pay for but oddly that doesn't seem to be a popular option. Probably because the user data the companies collect makes them more money then people would be willing to pay. Sad times. I miss the 90's.
