I recently kind of changed companies however I am in the same industry. These companies both have accounts with the same manufacturers/vendors. I am still doing contract work for the old employer so i need to keep the login credentials saved. I would like to have it when I launch the bookmark that they saved default login is the new company and not the old company. This is a 90/10 use rule if that makes sense. Thanks

Why Can't Firefox's Auto-Fill Put in the Correct Passwords for Firefox/Mozilla's own Sites?

Sometime I can sign in, sometimes I can't, and have no idea why this is so. I tried logging in to the Mozilla Support site, but at first the auto-fill kept putting in log-in info for a completely other site. Then when I looked up the correct info, and entered it manually, I got: "Your account has been blocked after multiple consecutive login attempts"

And that's all, no mention of what options I had, reset the password, or how long I would be blocked from logging in, nothing, but that my account was blocked!! Then I tried to log into the community forum, and that went fine, so why not the log in to the Support site???? I've logged into both many times previously, yet all too often, there is some glitch or another, stopping me from logging in. Why does FF's own auto-fill feature not get it right? Isn't that the point to it, so we can be logged in automatically?

If I'm having some kind of issue with the browser, and need to seek help, the last thing I want to deal with is being prevented from even getting to do so! How can I get this to stop happening?

After many years of using Firefox with Dashlane, all of a sudden it stopped autofilling User names & Passwords. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon, or I'll have to switch to Edge for my browser. I love Firefox so I don't want to have to do this.

How do I stop Firefox from suggesting emails for autofill?

Hello, when I am using a login form, it sometimes suggests an email I can use, but I do not want this behavior in case I am sharing my screen. And some of the emails that are suggested are also not mine to begin with, so I simply do not want Firefox suggesting it to me.

I would like to disable this feature altogether, but I have looked online, searched the settings, and yet I found no way of disabling this. I even confirmed that my Firefox Passwords doesn't have any entries, so I don't understand where it is getting these emails from. I would like help with disabling these suggested emails.

Hello, I'm really confused about the autofill feature. I've been using this feature for years and noticed that on some website the password field is filled in, but the username is not. I searched the support pages and forum topics, and it seems that is a very common issue. According to what I read, it could be either:

  1. The webmaster decided to tell the browser not to fill in the username, but let the password to be filled in.
  2. The webpage use some out of standard approach to name the username field, so Firefox is unable to recognize it.

What annoys me is that there's no way to understand if it's the first or the second case, so you just accept it.

It would be very helpful if Firefox could:

  1. Provide a way to understand what the real problem is.
  2. Add an option to override moronic security approach of the web designer, so the "do-not-fill-in-this-field" property is overridden.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this!

Firefox does a good job of filling in username and password prompts. Occasionally, it doesn't. The sign-in prompt for American Airlines is an example. Go to AA.COM and click on the "Log in" button. The prompt box labeled, "AAdvantage® # or username", is not filled in; but the prompt box labeled, "Password" is recognized and filled in. There must be something about the wording or the HTML used for the first box that obscures the requested information.

A list of logins appears that aren't related to the site

Not sure I understand this.... I know all about the saved logins & passwords that I can find under settings and I use that list regularly. But sometimes I have a site that isn't listed in my list. Perhaps it's been a very long time since I used it etc...

But when I click on the user or login field for the site, a list of user names will appear and it's obvious that these are not related to this site. For example I'm on a specific site this morning and I see a list of 6 user names, including my regular email address, another email that I sometimes use, 3 variations of a common user name I use, and a long number.

If I go to the saved password list and search for this site, it isn't listed. If I sort by user name, I can't really search for the usernames that are more common but I can look for the long number and 1 variation of the user name

  • Bulleted list item I see the long number and the site it's associated with and it's not this site.
  • Bulleted list item I do not see the specific variation of the user name

So....

  • Bulleted list item Why does the user name that is a long number appear in a list when I click on the user field at the website when it's associated with another website?
  • Bulleted list item Why does a variation of the user name appear in the same list when it is not shown anywhere in the saved password list.

I've seen it happen many times and what's really strange is that on 1 site clicking on the user name field will bring up a list that contains unassociated user names and another website might bring up a different list of unassociated user names! Really strange. Where are these tidbits of information being saved?

I use an online retailer to buy birthday cards and gifts - Moonpig.com. Whenever I choose Paypal as my payment option, it logs me directly into my Paypal account without me entering any details. I have several Paypal accounts and want to choose which one to use. I have no saved payment details on Moonpig's site and having checked, they say that somehow my browser is logging me in automatically. That's Firefox and I want it to stop.

I have no issues with Firefox storing log-in details but I should be able to choose which Paypal account I want to use.

Any thoughts please? UF
