All one needs to do is go to FF SETTINGS > PRIVACY > MANAGE LOGINS and see all the PWs. How do I handle this?

I don't leave my phone lying around once I get out of FF (once you gt on and login to FF w MPW it does not really log out) and it is set to "sleep" after a few seconds and it will take my phone's login key to get back on but still I see this as a problem.

I think this may be an Android issue only and I did contact them months ago but they do not have a way to handle it.

Hi

The Master Password feature will keep your user credentials secure and not visible unless you have entered the password. On closing Firefox for Android the app will be locked.

You can read more about this here.

I decided to get rid of Sync as that was causing more confusion. Don't need it anyway. It was Sync I was always logged into so I finally realized this and signed off of that.
