Hi All - When I powered up my computer this morning, I noticed that the label name under the Thunderbird Icon had been changed. It had been changed to the first part of my password that I use to log into my Thunderbird email account. I have run all the appropriate scans and my computer is free of any malware, viruses, etc... Is this a quirk in Thunderbird, or do I need to be concerned that it may be a bigger issue? I can certainly change the name back, but I'm trying to figure out how/why the change occurred. Any info. would be greatly appreciated! I have searched all over the internet and cannot find hardly anything on this topic.

I don't have an answer, but have you contacted Mozilla to inquire? May be a bug in Thunderbird.

Also, just a note... it's recommended that you don't have your browser/email set to remember passwords.
