When I login to my email using Fire Fox the following window pops up

Password required - Mozilla Fire Fox Please enter your primary password

Select sign in or cancel.

I do not know my primary login.

How do I fix this?

Thank you, Maria

Hi Maria, Primary password is a feature that allows you to prevent others from using the stored passwords on your installation of Firefox, asking you to enter it the first time you try to use a stored password during a Firefox session. You can find more information in the following article: Use a Primary Password to protect stored logins and passwords

Do you share the computer with anyone else?
