I want my passwords to automatically be on the email sign in page, although only as dots, when I sign in. How do I do this?

Previously, when I signed in to my email accounts, my passwords, shown as dots, appeared in the box under each gmail account. now, I have to type in my passwords in the box every time I try to access my emails. How do I go back to the way it was previously?

Do you still see those names and passwords in the Password Manager?

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
