What Have I Done Wrong?

Hello I do not know what I have done, or how I have managed to do this, but EVERY TIME I start up my Firefox it asks me for my Windows sign-in login details.

I have gone through as many pages within the Firefox settings will allow, and I am unable to find anything that indicates how to turn this option off.

All I am wanting to do is press the Firefox icon, and for Firefox to start up, WITHOUT Firefox asking me for my Windows security login details.

Anybody have an answer for this issue please? I'll GREATLY appreciate any fix recommended to me for this issue.

Best regards to all

I would uninstall Firefox and reinstalled it. Oor you can try factory resetting your Firefox settings or returning them to the default settings.

I've tried the uninstall and reinstall option, but it's still asking me for my Windows Hello login pass number when I try to use Firefox. The worst part is, I've done something for it to be asking me for my login digits, but for the life of me I have no idea what I did. Thank you for your reply hancestephen4👍
