I am awfully sorry for the fuss, I had difficult times with the email provider I had been using for the boba account. My email address got blocked for unknown reasons, they just would not tell anything, except that they would not tell why. They also blocked the new address I created in order

All of his posts and our replies to him disappeared overnight from the website. They are still on the archives, but not on the web version of the forum. Did he get banned for something?

The protonmail bridge program that I have to use to pull mail into a GNU/Linux desktop email app was freed up and licensed under GPL3 about 4 months ago. That is great news. I briefly considered using protonmail as a candidate but I thought it was webmail only. The day I decide to merge my

I've never seen anyone get banned here for anything other than blatant spam. It seems more likely that boba deleted their own account for some reason.

If there are some settings you NEED changed in about:config, it is possible to change the Preferences before you change about:config, but you won't be able to change them again unless it is possible to change them using about:config like proxy, jave ect.
