Delay opening Lockwise

In the last month or so I've noticed that after clicking "Passwords" Lockwise takes a good 30 seconds to open.

I think that the delay is caused by synchronization? I use Firefox (with Lockwise) on multiple devices, principally Linux and Android, so that could be the reason.

Is it possible to obtain a list of all devices on which I have installed Firefox? I could remove those no longer used if that helps.

Thank you.

Unlikely.

You can do it on accounts.firefox.com, but IMO it won't help you.

How many logins do you have as having a large number of logins can add to building and processing the logins list ?

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Are you using a Primary Password ? If that is the case then try to remove the PP and set a new PP.

You can also try to update to Firefox 94 via "Help -> About Firefox".

Tried the previous suggestions but to no avail. I use a 26 character password. I'm loathed to change it but will try that when I have time. I've been using similarly long passwords for a long time without this issue.

I'm running version 94.

When I select passwords on the dropdown menu there is a delay of about 35 seconds before the page refreshes with my login email; I am already logged in at FF startup. If I close and re-open this password page the same thing happens again. While this is happening the computer see a spike in CPU usage to about 32% and the fan cuts in; and all this on my work machine with 7th gen Core i7 and 16 Gb of ram! Clearly a lot of electrons flying around the CPU.

I'll try reproducing this fault with other machines / OSs.

I have just opened a slower machine, i5 CPU and 4Gb ram. running FF vers. 91 from MX-Linux, rather than Mint xfce 20.2. The issues noted above are not present.
