When attempting to insert account/password into a website, the Firefox would popup, ask for the iOS passcode, popup the list of matching accounts then immediately closed that popup and create a blank tab.

This also happened when trying an alternative but similar method with "Use saved password".

Infuriating.

Difficult to reaearch this.

Happens on numerous websites, most recently at Alternative To dot net.

Firefox on my Android smartphone is well synchronized with Firefox on the computer. I can see that both contain the same list of logins and passwords. When I must log in other applications, there is a notice that appears saying "unlock faierferox" followed by the sign of fingerprints. But when I try to have my fingerprint recognized, nothing happens.

What should I do?

Thanks for helping.

Firefox instalation on Android 12

I have just reactivated a (duplicate) computer which I have only used 2 or3 times in the last year. I have been asked to re-input my Firefox password. Now it wants me to sync Firefox with my (android) phone.

For some reason, Firefox has not been installed on my phone, although other browsers that I have never previously heard of seem to have auto-installed themselves.

I have tried to download the "no fuss" version of Firefox, but it is asking for credit card details. Other browsers allowed me to skip this step, but Firefox will not allow me to proceed, and does not provide a "skip" facillity.

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to allow my credit card details to be stored on my phone or in a browser. Storing the credit card data would not confer any advantage, because I have multiple credit cards, and I select the card for each transaction according to my location, the currency being billed, and whether the card offers cashback or loyalty points for the type of transaction I am making.

Has anybody else encountered this problem ?

How to get my usernames and passwords to auto-fill again?

When I try to enter a password for any website after a few updates ago, I don't get the option to enter my password that's saved in my password list into the fields anymore. I have to manually search, copy, and paste the information in. The app will then ask me if I want to update or modify the login information that is unchanged from what should already be in my browser.

Regardless of whether I say yes or no, the password remains unselectable when I go back to that website, and when I manually enter the information, it again asks me if I want to update the login information.

Firefox for Android works like SHIT with passwords. Why?

Hello!

I want to easily log into iCloud using my Redmi Note 9 android phone using firefox; so I went into settings and carefully added the URL for iCloud and the password and saved it. BUT, when I then go to iCloud URL and try to log in with my email, the password does NOT work! Why?

I must say, I have less and less regard for both apple and firefox. Why, oh why must it be a royal flucking pain in the ass to simply log into a cloud service on your phone? But for apple and firefox, this is evidently asking too much.

firefox on android manages websites and passwords like a sh!t sandwich. For example: when I do log into iCloud with firefox android manually, it DOES NOT prompt to save the password! How stupid is that? You want to log into a cloud server quickly and easily? Dream on! No can do-oh on firefox. You'd better scribble your password on a post-it note and bring it with you; otherwise firefox with flock you.

It really seems as time marches on, these giant tech corporations get sh!ttier and sh!ttier....unaccountable, indifferent to the peasantry who must suffer needlessly using their sh!tty products.

Time to look for a new android web browser as firefox is rubbish.

Have a great day :-)

I'm trying to remove over 500 passwords saved in FF, I removed it on PC and it disappeared from all connected Win clients. But I can't remove it from Android - they are still in FF & Lockwise. Tell me then, why sync works between Win clients but Android client ignores deletion of passwords?
