Thunderbird Portable

URLs in TB email with latest Firefox version

Submitted by ratcatcher on July 18, 2012 - 5:29pm

I run (and have done for several years through various versions) the standard version of Firefox on two machines with the PortableApps version of Thunderbird on a USB stick which alternates between the two machines.

In both cases the Firefox installation is standard - just the default profile and it's the default browser on each machine.

Prior to last night's upgrade of Firefox, if I had Firefox open on the machine and clicked on a URL in an email in Thunderbird, it would open up a new tab in the existing copy of FF - which is as expected, and as configured.

T'bird/ office proxy/ privacy

Submitted by whisp3r3r on July 7, 2012 - 12:20am

hi.
my office uses a 'proxy' to connect to the internet to keep an eye on what employees browse in the office. this is fine. but what i was wondering was can Thunderbird (used on a pendrive, of course) be used to check personal email without my office being able to see me login to some personal email account, and can they actually read my messages? i mean, T'bird will of course have to connect to the internet through this 'proxy' thing my office uses, right?
thanks.
appreciate your experience on this...

Hi all,

I'm using TB 13.01 portable + Enigmail + GPG for Thunderbird Portable 1.4.12 and it works fine, but sometimes when I receive a crypted mail instead it shows the green bar with the valid certified in the securety information, it shows the green bar with something like "gpg.exe
