hello, this isn't possible. the master password is also used to encrypt the files that hold your passwords & without checking for it at the beginning of each session, firefox cannot autofill those stored passwords on websites you're visiting...

I waited for more than an hour and then it stopped. Then I tried my regular password and it would not work? I think I need technical help on-line. My system is really in bad shape.

I never was given the opportunity to set a master password when I enable the feature so now I cannot access my old passwords nor can I save passwords and to top it off I can't disable the feature without the master password; IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE THIS ? It kinda looks like I have to uninstall FireFox completely and reinstall it. Help ?

hello timinftl, please refer to Reset your Primary Password if you've forgotten it

Now that's just fine as frog's hair that was! I sure wish it was that easy to find on the website. Every "solution" that came up in a search for me required knowing the original Password. For some reason I only got as far as checking use master password and it never asked for the password on that screen so I didn't think much about it and figured like a lot of windoze stuff it would just ask me to enter one the first time it hit the blank spot where it would have gone. I thank you Very Much
