Personally I generate a random password for any new web site which requires it and allow FF to store the credentials and also store them in KeePassXC.
Yes, great.
But that's Firefox. Not Thunderbird. Tey don't share passwords. They are separate apps.
Don't conflate the two.
Got it! I think that Thunderbird and Firefox are related by source, but maybe I'm wrong. At any rate, I have been roundly chastised for thinking that one password might work for both!
They were part of the same program once, Seamonkey. Now they are developed by the same team, Mozilla people. They are separate programs but can share code.
Well if you want to be picky about it, almost everything with Linux shared code, the libraries such as Libc and more. But sharing source code fragments is quite different from sharing a ... database. If you want an example of that, well many KDE apps do that, or in a more abstract sense, yes Thunderbird and Firefox both share the distributed database that is the internet's DNS service.
