Firefox Community Forum

The master password dialog box won't go away. It does not recognize any of my previous pwd. Also using the Recovery Key to create a new pwd does not make the dialog box go away. Should I move all my data to a different browser? What about move FF to an earlier version?

BTW this is occurring on my iOS 12.7.6 Petra

Hi, this AM South Australia time, Firefox did an update again. Later I needed to sign onto Ebay, which required a Capcha verification. After several attempts failed. EBay's solution was to use a different browser. Edge worked fine. What has happened?

Every few weeks or so I loose all logins on all sites on firefox ... I have settings to save login passwords however this forces me to re-login with all their 2FA etc

This has been happening for years

My guess is I have failed a login on say https://aws.amazon.com/ or some similarly highly sensitive site which triggers firefox to reset all logins on all sites. Sound familiar ? ... Any advice  ?

I was recently looking through suggestions that Firefox automatically gives me when clicking on search or login input fields on different websites. I noticed that they seem to be consistent even after reinstalling my browser or system, as long as I log into my Mozilla account (even though I have completely removed all my stored passwords from Firefox, and disabled the feature that stores them). I also noticed that I accidentally put an important password in the suggestions, and I would love to remove it somehow. I read in the help articles that the arrow keys and then shift+delete might work, but as soon as I press the arrow keys, the whole suggestion list gets covered by suggestions from the Bitwarden extension. It would be nice if that could be prevented somehow, and if there was a clear graphical way to remove the suggestions, perhaps a trash can icon on the right side?

I enter the primary password for saved password when starting FF as prompted. It takes password fine and works just fine on sites just as designed and has worked for years. Lately last couple weeks since last update to 132.0.1 I notice a change. I didn't notice before this update. When starting Firefox it asks for primary password which is normal, I enter it and all is fine. I can go to sites and all works fine, passwords and user id are entered when prompted. However, later in the day when I go to a site wanting password, I get the prompt to enter primary password again. That never use to happen, once I entered the primary password, it didn't prompt again unless Firefox was restarted. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it started and I just didn't notice some time ago. I know it wasn't that long ago the primary password prompt didn't have the little eye so you could see what you typed. I liked that, because FF for whatever reason wasn't always realizing I had the shift key pressed. Now with the eyeball I can see that it doesn't have what I typed, but that is not the problem I am asking about. Below is what Mozilla says about primary password:

Important: After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords. This also applies if you want to add, remove or show a password.

In Firefox, and Firefox only, in every version for the last several months, I have found it impossible to get Firefox to allow websites to "remember this device", even when I check that option. Every day I log in to a website, for example Tmobile, and I have to get a code emailed to me. I check "remember this device so you won't need a code next time", but the next time I log in, the same thing happens. Over and over with many sites. This does not happen with any other browser, except Firefox. How do I get Firefox to allow me to save my info? I really don't want to use Chrome, Safari, Brave, or Edge, but I do not have this problem with any of them. Only Firefox. And yes, I've checked my settings, and everything I can see says Firefox should be saving this info.

Hello, I clear my history, cookies etc quite often. However, this also clears my master password and I have to reenter it. Is there a way to clear all the junk but stay signed in with the master password? I have attached an image of how I have it configured. Thank you

A few days ago I did a deep clean of my computer. Since then, when I turn on my computer, all websites in the Firefox browser require a complicated login (e.g. Facebook), with confirmation on the phone. How to log in with a remembered password? Remembering your password via Facebook doesn't work

so I am trying to de-google and moved from Windows to MAC. BUT, none of my auto text shortcuts work, my email isn't being populated in fields where it should be (I don't save passwords in FF, I use bitwarden).

Spell check doesn't seem to work either, all of these DO work on Chrome :(

Any ideas, I tried to turn on a setting I read on some old post (9 years ago) about the following setting but it didn't work.

widget.macos.automatic.text_replacement=true

I've started to rebuild my saved password file, site by site. I lost access immediately after the last update, so am concerned that this could be irrecoverable. Is it an update error or some malign act? On the plus side, it is, I suppose, an opportunity to lose many years of accumulated dross, but I do fear some nasty side-effect. Please help.

Previously asked this question but didn't receive any Mozilla support. All they replied with was "we really only help with account or VPN issues now."

How is someone supposed to get a bug taken care of?

Since update to version 132, the primary password box keeps popping up, randomly, even after I put in the password. Only started happening after update to 132.

Can someone from Mozilla actually look into this?
