I did not set a primary password but they I'm constantly asked to enter it? I can't reset it because it'd delete all the saved passwords which I want to view. Is there a default primary password?

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.

Firefox has been put on Flathub, but it only supports X86. Unfortunately, many Linux distributions are slow to update Firefox for ARM. Other ways to install Firefox have poor reliability. Please add Firefox ARM support on Flathub.

On my new Computer I installed Firefox.

In one User Account the Sidebar has the new look (ref. Screenshot) whereas the other gets the old style, where you can either see or hide the bar completely.

Any advice to get the new version for both users - I cannot find the pertinent setting.

Went to get on the government page and I even typed in different passwords I have for the government and it dont know me. tried to get into Walmart and forget it. none are being recognized Ive had updates today also. dont know if that did it. I have a different password and email for all my sites thats why I use Mozilla to remember them for me Went to look up my passwords and they are missing

I accidentally updated my email site password to the wrong one. Previously, I had the correct one saved in Mozilla, but the wrong one were overwritten and I lost access to my email account. Is it possible to recover the password from before it was overwritten with a new one? I have no other way to get to my email, it was created long time ago and I had no backup email connected to it. You are my only hope to recover it- I checked all other options. Please help my case. Thank you for your time dear support grand master.

I use Firefox on all my devices. I recently had to replace an hp laptop for water damage. I have a new Chrome book (CB) that's replaced the laptop. I ran into a problem once I installed the Firefox app on the CB. I'm having trouble getting passwords and contacts to sync from my Samsung mobile phone. I was able to get into Firefox on the CB by changing my password. However, I can't get the Samsung device and the CB to sync passwords and contacts. Can you help me with this?

I tried to put in my password for my Gmail account. When I do EMAIL OR PHONE gets laid on top of the email address I use.

This is the SECOND TIME this has happened RECENTLY. And it was taken care of. BUT, NOW IT IS BACK. I NEED the sign in as I am getting ready for a trip.

My usernames and passwords are both saved on firefox. On certain websites, like reddit, the option to autofill only appears when I click on the password box, not the username box, and it only fills out the password. This happens both on windows and android.

I recently refreshed my computer and moved the old profiles folder to the new firefox profiles folder in roaming Folder in Win10 but my passwords wont apear even though logins and key4 are in the folder

My computer suffered from a spammer who bypassed SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes, and Windows 11 Defender. I did not know at first what had happened, having never encountered this.

Once I knew that I would need to take the computer to a repair shop, I removed the log-on so that the repair shop would not need to enter it each time they had to restart. The problem for which I am seeking advice was how to restore the password that one sees when waking a password-protected computer.

I had only done that a few times over a number of years, and thought that it would be simple. I started looking up how to do this, began to encounter all sorts of methods, none of which would work. I finally realized that with the passage of time, the way(s) to do this have changed. Given the plethora of perhaps well-meaning but wrong, expired, etc. methods, I posted on the Windows 11 Forum; quite to my surprise, the only person so far to respond has sent me two links. He admitted that the first was incorrect, so I tried the second, only to find myself bewildered, wondering what that site had to do with what I was asking for.

Earlier today, it seemed to me that I should post here. I have read about the Master Key, which might serve my needs. As I have never used one, and as I store my passwords in KeePass and don't want to change that, would creating one to be used only when logging on, and continuing with KeePass work for me?

Yes, this is somewhat lengthy. My missive is to try to explain what happened, what I have endeavored to accomplish, and post in the hope that I can once again be able to lock my computer. The chance of it being stolen given where we live is slight, but even though my actual log-on password is short, the average thief, so to speak, likely would not figure it out. Having a password serves more for my comfort that anything else.

Thanking you in advance, lest I forget.

Strictly as an aside, the time and effort I have taken so far reminds me of the twenty-seven months involved in my establishing a fire protection district, with perhaps 95% of those efforts being mine. I won that battle, I would like to win this one.
