Twice recently friends have reported to me that they have received emails purporting to be from my email address and these are not from me. So scammers have somehow been able to access my address book, know my address and send false messages. What can I do to prevent this?

I'm on Firefox 128.0.3 and the option to enable or disable PPA is greyed out. The config-entry, however, is set to enabled. Why is the option greyed out in the first place, and why has the option been enabled under water anyway?

I've already reported this to the privacy watchdog in my country and I strongly urge other users of Firefox to do the same. Mozilla needs to rethink this strategy.

Hello,

Bitdefender Total Security is repeatedly (sometimes every 5 or 10 seconds) blocking a suspicious connection:

"Feature: Online Threat Prevention firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to email.wetransfer.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since the used certificate was issued for a different web address than the targeted one.

How do I stop Firefox from attempting to make this connection to "email.wetransfer.com" ?

Thanks for your help, G

Way to duplicate problem.

on MacOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79) Using Firefox Desktop 128.0.2 (64-bit) (intel architecture)

Visit https://www.eventbrite.com/ Click Verify Security icon at left of address bar. Click Connection Secure Click More Information Click View Certificate A tab opens, showing the certificate details. Leave that tab open

Visit https://www.eventbrite.com.au/ Follow same process A new tab isn't opened - as the certificate is the same. The issue is - without the ability to side by side compare, it's difficult to know that the certificate is the same, for a beginner.

Resolution: Visit other websites, then the certificate details tab is duplicated.

Why my personal email address was currently visible to the whole internet via Mozilla's Discourse forum. It will show up in Google Search results

I request the deletion of this topic because I created it 3 and a half years ago because of : https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/revive-session-manager-version-0-8-1-13-stoped-develpment-in-2017-01-30/57783/1

• That my email was visible all this time on the platform during this periode of 03 and a half years very malicious people targeting me with daily spam on my email box, I judge that I have the right to request a deletion because of the nature of private law that I judge has not been maintained by the best browser in the world. • I was informed by pure chance by an anonymous message from a person called "Chris H" who showed me the correct method to change this error in any case this person had the courage to address several people so that there is a strong resolution that makes people react to solve the problem.

With my most sincere greetings for your company "Mozilla" that I have admired since the beginning of the internet thank you for agreeing to delete this topic because if there is not a solution to delete my email from the internet then the only way is to delete the topic in question thank you

Security issue with email through The Messsaging Company

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have just migrated Thunderbird to my new CUBI desktop running Windows 11. I get security errors when I launch Thunderbird. My email provider The Messaging Company advised me to change server settings, which are now shown in the Troubleshooting Information page as account1 (pop3) pop.themessagingco.com.au:995 SSL/TLS Normal password smtp.themessagingco.com.au:587 STARTTLS Normal password true.

On launching Thunderbird I get the message Secure connection failed live.mozillamessaging.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired. Error code: <a id="errorCode" title="SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE">SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE</a>

   This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
   If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Or you can add an exception…

AND when I attempt to send an email I get warning that the SMTP server does not have a valid certificate. If I ask, in either case, to "Get Certificate" the response is that the site attempts to identify itself with invalid information.

I have "tried again later" over two weeks, and nothing has changed.

The Messaging Company is a fairly large email provider: it seems strange that its security is incomplete. However, I am not happy to just set an exception and over-ride these errors without doing all I can to check that there is not something screwy going on. I really value using Thunderbird, and The Messaging Company's advice that I should just use webmail is not at all satisfactory: I keep everything on my computer or backed up to a portable drive here.

Please: is there anything I can do or should know to fix this problem?

Best Regards, Margaret Mackisack
