All of a sudden, I keep getting a small window that pops up and wants my Primary Password. I have changed it three times and the Firefox says the change took place each time. Then, the pop up comes and I fill in my password and it pops up again and again and again and again. How do I get rid of this? It's driving me nuts!!!

Can you attach a screenshot?

Can you move this window around and does it look like the window you get when Firefox asks for the PP ? Are you possibly using Sync ?

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
