Firefox Community Forum

I use an independent password manager to store my passwords and prefer it over Firefox's because it has a highly customizable generator for creating new passwords. However whenever I am on a new site, Firefox pops up with a prompt to generate a secure new password (it appears as a drop-down from the item text box). My password manager also creates a pop up/drop down, but it is hidden behind Firefox's and I cannot access it. I need to be able to disable the secure password generator prompt. Please take a look at my excellently annotated screenshot, attached.

I have my FF preferences setting as "Strict". But somehow Facebook people were able to hack into my FF account, and obtain my password for FB and other passwords? This comes directly from my Firefox preference page Red Warming Box includes & states on Sept 30, 2025 Facebook Hacked & Gained access to my account. Not a person, it states Facebook did it. And to change my FB password ASAP. So I go to my FB account go through their lame motions and they say they will not allow me to do so because I haven't used my account very long and they don't know if it is me trying to change my password. My question is what do I do now and how to prevent any social media outlet of simply hacking into my Mozilla account or my Firefox accounts? Please help. Seems like their should be a law against this type of intrusion gathering save password and etc.

I want to erase the username and password for my Amazon account. I prefer to sign in manually. I turned off auto fill in settings, but when I want to shop on Amazon and attempt to sign in, Mozilla no longer autofills but it does provide my username which is my e-mail account. I want the popup window to be blank for my username and my password. The only way I can imagine is to stop Mozilla from "memorizing" this information. Is it possible for me to do that?

No FireFox icon on my desktop, though icon for Adobe Acrobat, which I just got from FireFox for FREE! Delightful, THANK you very much. How do I access it's Search Engine, which is why came here, sent by the recommendation from my bank's agent, with regards to my passwords FAILING after each new passwords initial acceptance, but told INVALID next time try to use VALIDATED new password. Most FRUSTRATING.

The Password Manager is very good, but...

It needs two additional fields.

1) a field for a website name or a note.

2) a 2nd username or email address.

For example, I just added the login information for Bluesky Social. However, "bluesky" is not part of the url. If I later search for "blue" the correct login will not be shown.

Also, the login allows for input of a username or email address. The PW manager should store both.

In the Security Measures overview, under Manage Passwords, I see the following: 3 passwords may have been exposed through data breaches.

All 3 websites with data breaches belong to Facebook.

I permanently deleted all Facebook accounts more than 3 years ago.

Without Facebook accounts, I can't and don't need to change my passwords, right?

Thanks and regards

Hi,

I’m experiencing the following issue:

When I open Password Manager (about:logins), the page is completely blank.

This problem started about three months ago, after I updated Firefox to a newer version.

Currently, on the about:logins page, I can export all my accounts and passwords as a CSV file (so the data clearly exists), but nothing is displayed on the page itself.

I also tried importing the same CSV file (exported from about:logins) back into Firefox. After importing, all accounts and passwords appear in the left panel. However, when I click on any item, the right panel is still blank. If I close the page and open about:logins again, the items still do not load.

My current Firefox version is 147.0.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks!

I have a password manager. It used to be when I would log into a website that the Password Manager would provide the information. Which was fine with me. Now it has stopped doing that and I do not know why.

I have a new e-mail address, so I'm updating all the entries in my about:logins list of passwords. There are a couple of moz-extension entries with very long codes as part of the name. When I click on these in the left-hand column, it appears in the main part of the window where I can edit or remove it. For regular website entries I can click on the link to take me to the site, but with the moz-extension entries I can't do that. Can these be deleted? Thanks!

I have configured Firefox to use a proxy, and I stored the credentials in the password manager. However, every time I open Firefox, it asks me to enter the credentials again.

How can I store the proxy credentials persistently?

I exported the passwords from Firefox to a .CSV file. I brought the CSV file into Excel. The 3 rightmost columns are labelled timeCreated timeLastUsed timePasswordChanged. The contents appear to be 13 digit integers like 1459431833997 (in Firefox this shown as 'Mar 31, 2016').

Is there a way to have those a human-readable date fields?

Not able to upload my password files. I get an error message that states: Unable to Read File Firefox does not have permission to read the file. Try changing the file permissions. How do I change the file permission?

I use LastPass and I cannot open any login information from the vault. I click on "Launch" (picture uploaded) and nothing happens. If I have a site open I can auto-fill the Username/Password. Some of the sites are tailored to a specific page - I rely on this. It works in Edge and Chrome. It did work before today in Firefox (can't say when specifically). Firefox password management disabled.

Why all of a sudden I cannot reacht my saved passwords anymore. Also it does nit prefill the saved passwords anymore when going to a website. How come Firefox/Mozilla keeps changing these essential things?? It makes it very much so less productive.

I've included a screenshot of what I get when clikcing on the Password tab. The information displayed in this wcreen also does not work. Clicking on Sync, does just nothing, just showing Sync in grey... Clicking on Login above just show this screen screen again. Useless.

When I log into a site my user ID and password are automatically typed in. The user ID is fine but I want to put my password in manually. How do I stop the password from showing up automatically? The site involved say my pass word is stored by my browser.

I have a small usability suggestion regarding browser password managers.

When a website changes its domain (for example, from example-old.com to example-new.com), existing saved login entries keep the old domain. In many browsers, users cannot edit the domain field of the saved login.

As a result, users must delete the existing password and create a new one, which is inconvenient when managing many accounts.

A simple improvement would be to allow editing the domain/URL field of an existing saved login entry.

Example: example-old.com → example-new.com

Instead of deleting the login, users could just update the domain.

It’s a small feature, but it would significantly improve password management usability.

Thanks for your work on building great products.

I was trying to register with a new website. Firefox suggested dG@5 as the securely generated password, which being only four characters is obviously insecure. Not surprisingly, it wasn't acceptable, as the website required at least eight characters. I tried deleting the password in both fields and trying again, but Firefox kept suggesting the same insecure password. Even after restarting the registration process I was offered the same password. I have used this feature many times previously, and have never had this happen before. Why has this happened? Is there anything that I can do to stop it happening again? Is there anyway that I can force Firefox to come up with a different password if I don't like its first suggestion? And, is Firefox's system really secure, if it does this?
