Is there a way to view the primary password before entering it? If I'm unable to see the password while typing, or after I type it, I'm unable to know if my password is being rejected because I mistyped or I'm trying the wrong password.

The dialog to enter the PP doesn't have a reveal button. If you aren't sure then you could type it elsewhere and paste it in the dialog. The Password Manager (about:logins) can show the saved password and allows to copy username and password to the clipboard.

This extension enables you to see passwords entered on websites (not the primary password). You have to hide a password again before attempting to login.

You can modify this pref on the about:config page to make Firefox show the last typed character and set its value to a large value like 10000 milliseconds.

  • about:config => editor.password.mask_delay = 10000

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.

Type/Paste editor.password.mask_delay in the search bar at the top of the about:config page. Double-click the editor.password.mask_delay line to enter edit mode and change the '-1' default value to '10000'. Press the Enter key or click the OK (✔) button to accept the change.
