Firefox Community Forum

Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.

But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)

Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation

TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.

What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.

Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?

Thanks

Edit: Using Windows, no other problems with storage on the 1TB Samsung ssd

Seems like every time I come here, not only do I have to re-login, but also do the 2-step verification. Is there any way to avoid all this?

I understand the need for security precautions, but my circumstances don't require 2-step verification or the re-login.

I need to enter a firefox primary password. I cannot enter an existing primary password. A reset is required. How can I change the firefox primary password? I need help resetting.

I want to send this pc to repair shop and have technicians update it to windows 11. I want to protect my passwords for banking etc. that are saved on this pc. How do I do it so techs do not have access?

I use a custom wallpaper, which has almost no contrast with the login password fields, which are all white, including the text, making them essentially invisible. Is there any way I can change the text color of the login password prompt to black, so it will be clearly visible? I've found nothing on the forums. I'm running Sequoia 15.6.1 on a Mac Mini M4.

What is the best app to keep passwords and keys across different platforms? Microsoft has been a real pain lately telling me there is a problem with my accounts. I need a program that will keep me from having to change passwords every time. I have multiple emails with Hotmail that keep my personal mail separate from work, and gaming platforms. Plus, there are things that may turn out to be junk, given the sheer number of fishing platforms now available.

This goes back to an issue dating back to version 132 and a previous issue.

Since version 132, if I go in and delete individual cookies via the "Settings", "Privacy and Security" "Cookies and Site Data" and "Manage Data", for any website I've visited, I am repeatedly asked to reenter my primary password. Even if the individual website cookies I delete are for websites that I do not have a password for.

Highly annoying and never used to happen until the version 132 update, and all subsequent updates.

Why does this happen and if it's intentional, is there some rationale for it?

Thanks,

Dan

Hallo Mozilla-Team, mir ist aufgefallen, dass im Passwortbereich meines Mozilla-Kontos ein Text erscheint, den ich selbst nicht eingetragen habe: „Beerdigung 25.6.2025“. Ich bin mir unsicher, wie dieser Eintrag dorthin gelangt ist und ob dies ein technischer Fehler oder ein Hinweis auf ein Sicherheitsproblem sein könnte. Ich bitte um eine Überprüfung und Rückmeldung, ob mein Konto betroffen ist oder ob weitere Schritte notwendig sind. Vielen Dank im Voraus und freundliche Grüße
