I have the Master Password for opening Firefox activated, and now I would like to Deactivate it, so I don't have to continue entering a Password before the Firefox window can open.

Did you install an extension that asks for the Master Password or do you use Firefox Sync?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
