The past 3 days i have had problem with connecting to Google.Then it works then it fails. It is also telling me i am not securely connected to the site and no encryption.

buenas noches, estaba haciendo un analisis y el antivirus me ha detectado un "troyano" en una carpeta de firefox (adjunto captura) y no se que hacer, por si alguien sabe si es un falso positivo o es que de verdad es un troyano

Hi,

Thunderbird tries to access many websites, even when it is in the background and apparently idle. In the last two or three weeks, it has tried to access about sixty websites that Little Snitch (Macintosh) reports by IP address, not domain name. Without knowing the domain name, I cannot tell what Thunderbird is trying to do, so I do not allow it to access those sites.

I know that Firefox does this also and that Thunderbird is built on Firefox.

In the Mullvad browser, built on Tor's browser, which is, in turn, built on Firefox, this problem is resolved by setting an option to use the user's default DNS resolver. I cannot find such an option in Thunderbird. Might there be one in a configuration setting? Or some other way to deal with this matter?

Thanks for any help.

Why does my settings say, "Information Your browser is being managed by your organization." when firefox is installed on my personal laptop? Is there a malicious software infecting the browser?

We are currently setting up a product internally in our environment yet we keep getting this error message, I was wondering if there are anymore details from Firefox as to what it means/background on what is going with the browser as we can not access the site. Thanks.

In Settings>Privacy & Security>Permissions>Location, exceptions cannot be added. The bar above the exceptions is a "search" bar and adding an URL does not add the address the the exceptions. Usining Firefox 133.0 on the Linux Mint 20 platform.

My Firefox instance (133.0.3 64bit) on notebook shows warnings for leaked passwords in my password manager. I can even search for unsafe passwords.

My Firefox instance (same version) on tower PC synchronizes the passwords, but doesn't show warnings (incl. the black key icon), though I checked the box in settings to do so, and restarted over and over. What else can I do?

I noticed Firefox listening on port 139. Is this normal? I uninstalled reinstalled and it still does it. This is on a windows 10 computer. My windows 11 computer does not show this. On further inspection the PID for the 139 port is system not Firefox.

I use Microsoft Outlook for Windows from time to time and discovered it is possible to sign/encrypt emails with an S/MIME certificate even if the email on the certificate does not match the "From" email address. Although this is disabled by default, it can be enabled by following these steps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/troubleshoot/outlook/how-to-turn-off-email-matching-for-certificates

I wonder if there is an equivalent mechanism for S/MIME and/or OpenPGP certificates imported into Thunderbird, whether by changing settings in the config editor or otherwise?

I NEED FIRE FOX TO DISABLE THEIR SECURITY IN THE SEARCH BAR HTTPS OR WHATEVER IT IS BECAUSE i MADE A MISTAKE ALLOWING IT TO BE THERE WHEN I HAVE A PAID ONE I USE ONCE A YEAR SO THIS ONE I DO NOT NEED OR USE FROM MOZILLA. IN TURN, PLEASE BE NICE AND RESPECTABLE ABOUT IT AND DISABLE THE ONE YOUR USING FOR MY SAFETY AND SECURITY IN THE ADDRESS BAR.

THANK YOU I'D APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I TRIED AND IT STILL REMAINS THERE.
