Hi, A different Firefox dialogue box is asking to store my login and password. It used to just ask the question, and have a link. Now it has fields for the login and password. Is this a Mozilla Firefox dialogue box or a phishing tool that has attached to my browser? Thanks

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

The Firefox dialog to store a password is a doorhanger that is aligned to the key icon on the at the left end of to location/address bar, similar to what you get with a Lego block icon for a plugin.
