I have Firefox synced on two devices, my desktop PC and my laptop. Both are the same version.

I tried to unlock my Firefox passwords on my desktop PC but failed. I tried to unlock my Firefox passwords on my laptop = success!

I am 100% sure i typed in the same passwords, on both devices.

Maybe you did set up a different master password on that PC. The MP isn't synced to other devices.

Thank you, i totally forgot that the MP is'nt synced and resetting did the trick.

I'm quite sure I did use the same MP, because I use a Passwordvault. Also did it work a few days before and I did'nt change the MP since then. The possibillity of losing all remembered login credentials, is quite unsettling.
