Everytime I log on my computer keeps on asking for my password even after I use it when I first log in. I would like to be able to just turn my computer and open Firefox without using my password at all. Thanks, Gino

This problem started when I signed up for something like Firefox for my phone or ? I don't know.

Hello ginoj,

Could it be that you created a Sync account  ? (you will see an email address at the top of of the 3-bar Firefox menu) If so : you will be asked for your password every time to login.

First, you are talking about logging into the computer, then logging into Firefox. Which is it?

You don't need to log into Firefox to use it. However, if you are using the Master Password option on the Password Manager, that would need you to provide the Master Password before the manager would work.

I don't need it to log on to my computer. when I log on to Firefox and Fox News is my home page it keeps asking me for it. In fact, just as I brought this page up it asked me for it again. This problem started when I signed up for something like Firefox for my phone or ? I don't know.

Thanks a lot, It worked, I've been going nuts trying to figure this out.
