There are problems with the auto-complete forms with passwords. auto-login and password on sites almost never works, have to restart several times does that have worked. Whether there is a file in which all the passwords Frannie? I would like to transfer it and keep in a safe place.

You can see the passwords in "Tools", "Options", "Security" and "Memorized Passwords"

You can backup the two file signons.sqlite and key3.db to backup the passwords (key3.db stores the encryption key).

What kind of problems do you have with the passwords?

Do they still show in the Password Manager?

  • Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can try to click elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to move the focus outside the name and password field and then click or double-click the field again.
