Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

Recently many sites have (for reasons I cannot fathom) introduced a pre-login form: ie a form that requires a username to be entered before an password text box is provided. This seems to be a trend and it is incredibly annoying.

The issue I have is that FF does not recognise the page/form as a login page and therefore does not provide a list of usernames for the domain in question.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

Title is quite descriptive. A few hours ago I cleared all my cookies and cache and a while later the browser updated. Now, whenever I close Firefox it automatically logs me out of my Google accounts. This happens only with Google accounts, as I'm still logged into other accounts.

In Firefox, and Firefox only, in every version for the last several months, I have found it impossible to get Firefox to allow websites to "remember this device", even when I check that option. Every day I log in to a website, for example Tmobile, and I have to get a code emailed to me. I check "remember this device so you won't need a code next time", but the next time I log in, the same thing happens. Over and over with many sites. This does not happen with any other browser, except Firefox. How do I get Firefox to allow me to save my info? I really don't want to use Chrome, Safari, Brave, or Edge, but I do not have this problem with any of them. Only Firefox. And yes, I've checked my settings, and everything I can see says Firefox should be saving this info.

I accidentally uninstalled firefox and need to recover passwords and bookmarks. Can this be done? I run an old dell latitude with Windows 10 and was trying to cleanup apps running in background at startup since it was running very slowly. At one point I saw 2 firefox icons. Uninstalled one and lost everything. Can you help me. Michael Evans

Successfully migrated to a new server on desk top and android phone. Same settings on a laptop results in repeating "login to server failed" with requests for password; and will not connect.

Thanks for pointing to a solution.

places.sqlite: this file records EVERY website I've ever visited in a db table! This despite opting out of History and flushing daily It's frustrating that FF surreptiously collects such personal info. Why record every site I visit, date-timestamps, frequency, etc.?

moz_historyvisits_dateindex ON moz_historyvisits (visit_date) moz_places_lastvisitdateindex

As test, I changed the name to places-sqlite.old to see if FF will create a new one It didn't make a new table; re-created the old one.

I need to update FF because of the expired certificates, but would like to clear these out first. Similarly, can I get rid of the icon database? My bookmarks are backed up as JSON and HTML files. I just wished they didn't contain extraneous info

So "delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is disabled, i even tried to reinstall the browser couple of times but sadly problem did not go away, every time i close my browser and open it back again i need to enter all my accounts and such again, which is obviously really not cool and id like my browser not to do that, on the internet all i found was about that one setting and that you should turn it off, but what do i do if its already off? ;_; Maybe there's some windows setting that keeps doing it i don't know... Extensions i tried to delete/disable didn't help either and at the moment of writing this i have no extension downloaded.

Norton recently issued a major update to their Norton 360 software. Since then the passwords that I saved in Firefox's password manager do not work. I go to the webpage and the passwords simply do not show up and cannot be used. Did Norton suddenly block the Firefox password and sign in function? Call me Puzzled.

Hi! I'm running Linux Mint right now, but this also happened on Windows, I copied the profile from Windows so I suspect that is likely why.

When I go to about:logins, I see none of the accounts listed. Even when I input a search in the search box, nothing. I don't know what could be causing this. See attached screenshots. Don't worry, there's no concern of leaking account details, because they aren't showing up.

All my saved passwords are missing. I am synced and logged into an Android phone. I usually use an iphone but have not checked syncing there yet, or on a computer/laptop.

Hi, 2 days ago I switched from Chrome to Firefox. I buy a lot of stuff online from many shops, so I really need the autofill feature. I checked and it is available only in some locations, ex. France. Will it be available in Poland in about a month?

I am trying to recover my bookmarks and history on this same PC i just re installed windows but I am having trouble figuring out the login email and what not I was using. My main email is [edited] @msn.com I also have [edited] @gmail.com [edited] @yahoo.com [edited] @gmail.com and [edited] @gmail.com I have tried all these options and none have my bookmarks. I am pretty sure I had backup and sync enabled and just racking my brain trying to remember maybe what the icon looked like or something I can associate to sort out what I had on this PC. My kid was using one of the log ins on the other PC so didnt delete my bookmarks or keep our info separated. I even tried searching on my phone and im coming up with blanks. I should have checked or downloaded the file that helps u recover but im tired and this is driving me nuts please help

Hello everyone,

How can I delete the automatic username suggestions that appear on websites? Even when I remove the username and password for the website from Firefox's password manager, the usernames still show up. If I simply double-click in the username field, I still get the old suggestions. Deleting cookies hasn’t helped either. Please see screenshot. I anonymized the mail adresses in the pic, but they are completely shown.

Can anyone help me?

Thx in advance Chris

I was stupid enough to download Roboform Password manager, but it's just not for me. I was using Firefox password manager and would like to go back to it but I cannot delete Robo Form. I've tried disabling Roboform, but that doesn't work. Do I have to cancel Firefox in order to get rid of this nasty program?
