Firefox Community Forum

Until the last couple of days, I could go to any website without having to put in my Primary Code, now Firefox is asking for the code on EVERY website and I am reluctant to put it in because it would then leave all of my accounts exposed if I leave my computer.

I'm happy using Password Manager, but I want to choose when I put in the Primary Password and not be dictated to by an algorithm, particularly if it doesn't involve membership and I am just looking for information.

How can i stop it from happeniing?

My bookmarks got screwed up and I deleted Firefox and created a New password and I can't access my bookmarks. How can I get them back ? I have Android phone please help 😟

what is going on? unable to log into firefox on android mobile ? I have my password saved in bitwarden Hasn't been changed since 2018 not compromised, randomized & generated by bitwarden Mozilla is now trying to tell me it's incorrect when copy pasta into password line same password used to log into this account on this computer what gives?

Prior to today, I've entered my [correct] Firefox primary password several times and it has always been accepted. It worked consistently right up until now, so what gives? And why aren't we simply allowed to reset our primary passwords, since all our browser settings, data, and personal preferences depend on accessing it via the primary password?

In short either send me a reset link, or instructions on how to reset my primary password.

Thank you!

I just launched FF 136 today. On the first launch, there was nothing unusual, except the usual dialogs to describe new features and release notes.

I tried the new setting to show the new sidebar, but turned it back off afterward.

But on all subsequent browser launches, my primary password was required. I want a primary password to protect my saved logins and settings, but don't want to have to enter it just to use the browser.

An online search said that if I were using Sync, that might be a reason my password is required at startup. However, I have never used Sync and never logged into it.

I tried starting up in safe mode, to eliminate extension issues, but my PW was still required. Does anyone know how to eliminate the prompt at startup, while still maintaining the primary password for settings?

In Firefox, it's possible to store logins, and then assign a Master Password to protect those stored logins.

In the newest version of Firefox desktop for Windows (136.0 - 64 bit) - it asks for the Master Password twice, even when only showing a blank start tab.

Normally, it will first asks for the Master Password, when you browse to a website, that has a stored login. Is it a bug or a new security feature?? - anyway, I find it very, very annoying.

My Firefox prompts me to enter the master password when it opens, even though the current homepage is Firefox's default one and there is no place that requires login.I have already tried turning off and then turning on the master password, but it still doesn't work.

Good afternoon. Since recently (probably after the last Firefox update to version 136.0) I have a problem: every time I start Firefox it requires the main password set in the settings. Before this problem did not occur, no settings were changed.

I read the official article on this topic, but the recommendations described there did not help me. I turned off the password, logged out of the browser, turned it back on, logged out again, and nothing. When I turned it back on, still at every startup it asked for the password.

I also noticed that every time I start it up, the loading circle next to the cursor spins, like something is happening. Can you tell me what it could be and how to get rid of this problem?

firefox always re asks for my password on my new computer, never had this on my old computer. i typically only need to put in my password after not using the computer for awhile, then it never asks me again.
