Nearly every time (99%) when I start Firefox the PasswordBox add-on doesn't start. It starts fine in IE and Chrome but not in FF. I have to go into the add-ons menu and disable then enable it manually in order for it to work. I have contacted them and have been told by them that it's a browser issue.

I went to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and searched but could not find PasswordBox. If you know what page its on, see if there is an update or link for support.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the "Applications" folder Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't know what they are.

Does this extension use the Add-on Bar by default or does it add a button to the Navigation Toolbar?

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

You can also check for problems with preferences, see:
