I wonder if thunderbird (plus addons?) could help fight phishing in the following way. Say I need to check the authenticity of emails I get from Bob. Is there a way to

1) Get Bob to create digital signature (PGP?) and send it to me ahead of time in secure channel; I store this signature locally (on thunderbird?)

2) Bob sends me an email, with this signature

3) Upon receiving this email, thunderbird automatically verifies the signature against the locally saved one and confirms that the signature is correct

Note: I am looking for automatic verification of message/sender, NOT encryption.

If this can be done, do Bob also needs to use thunderbird (plus addons?), or is there a standard protocol for this (e.g. can this be done via gmail webinterface, outlook, etc?)

THANKS!

p.s. For (1), Bob can e.g. posts his signature on his webpage as well. But my main question is about (3).

Why most extensions (addons) are not updated for last 2 years that are under "Recommended extensions"?

I checked many, not all, are updated since 2022 and 2023. Chrome updates them and allows them to be usable with newer versions of Chrome and other browsers that support Chrome extensions.

And same addons on Chrome extension store are updated but not on Firefox addon store.

Is Firefox not focusing on security and updates anymore?

Avast reports that it has secured the threat of 'addons.mysafe-search.net' which tries to start when i open Firefox. I've been unable to find any reference to the site anywhere on my PC so cannot uninstall it.

I understand that turning on adaptive junk filtering means that Thunderbird learns to detect junk messages as time goes on. If I DON'T select adaptive filtering then what happens?

1. Potentially junk messages are not recognised as such and are treated like all other messages
2. Thunderbird uses a fixed set of criteria to select what it thinks is junk, and then moves it as per the options selected.

I receive this message from NORTON 360 every time I start Firefox.

It tells me to run Smart Scan which I do but nothing is ever found.

Is this a false report?

Thunderbird wants verificationfrom gmail but there is no where i can click locked in page have to ctrl>alt>delete to get out. No where to click on continue. I think the page is too big and aI cant see the next or accept or any other button. Can't use thunderbird to send or to see address or anything else

Thanks for your help

On my new Scorptec rtx A2000 workstation installed Firefox and Thunderbird and for 2days everything was fine apart from the annoying notice that came up every time I opened Firefox as me to make it the default browser ,which i turned off. however about the next day another window appeared in upper right corner of the screen that looked very authentic with the Firefox Logo and screen colors which stated that I had not yet fully activate all options in Firefox. on opening it there were 4 options to tick off .

First was making it default browser which ticked

Then there were 3 highly recommended extensions with reviews of each and a quoted number of users that highly recommended them second was enabling an Anti Key stroke Logger app which I ticked third I think gave them full access to PC which I ignored Last i cant remember but I ticked as it looked harmless. Within an hour the Firefox screen turned white and was activated by

quick-hp.com//?path=firefox/  then more info etc.

Just incase the have installed a key logger etc have decided on full removal and reinstall of win11 etc Be Warned

path=firefox/.........etc...etc

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird for years now for various email accounts that I mostly used to information I would consider public. Thus while I would take simple and obvious precautions, I wasn't overly concerned with security.

Now, I'm connecting Thunderbird to my personal email accounts, including my ProtonMail account that I do use for private information. I'm happy with the ProtonBridge handles encryption and decryption when you send and receive emails but as I understand it, once on the device, all of your emails are just stored in plain text.

Yes you can put a Password on Thunderbird but that wouldn't deter anyone with any motive. I'm aware many people site FDE as a solution to this problem and while it's part of a solution, I would like an additional layer of security. I would like everything inside of '/home/user/.thunderbird' encrypted at rest. Ideally the Master Password would decrypt it but it's not the end of the world if it's a little more laborious.

From everything I've seen so far, unless I send and receive all of my emails with PGP, my emails will be stored plain text on my PC. Perhaps installing Thunderbird inside a veracrypt volume is the only option?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Today, Stephen Weisman Esq., in his Scamicide daily post, wrote: While often the pop-up ads may be legitimate advertisements, in other cases they are created by scammers who lure you into clicking on links and being directed to websites that either convince you to provide personal information that can be used to make you a victim of identity theft or, in a worst case scenario, merely by either clicking on the link or being redirected to another website, you may unwittingly download malware such as ransomware or keystroke logging malware that can steal from your phone or computer sensitive personal information that can be used to access your bank account or make you a victim of identity theft in other ways.

He also wrote that pop-up ads can be blocked but I don't see that option on Firefox Mozilla. Please let me know how to do this.

Thank you.

Hi there,

I am worried about privacy and security issues regarding to addons with very few users and reviews. I was hoping you could shed light on them for example Hawk (Like ChatGPT in your emails).

Are there any ways to guarantee my security and my emails not being seen?

The messages even contain the note "Thunderbird thinks this message is Junk" and I "Mark" it as junk, but I I still keep getting junk messages from the same email address. Why doesn't Tbird send messages from this email address to Junk?

Software is Preventing Firefox From Safely Connecting to This Site

news.google.com is most likely a safe site, but a secure connection could not be established. This issue is caused by Private Internet Access, which is either software on your computer or your network.

What can you do about it?

news.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

   If your antivirus software includes a feature that scans encrypted connections (often called “web scanning” or “https scanning”), you can disable that feature. If that doesn’t work, you can remove and reinstall the antivirus software.
   If you are on a corporate network, you can contact your IT department.
   If you are not familiar with Private Internet Access, then this could be an attack, and there is nothing you can do to access the site.
