I can not log into my Facebook account because Firefox has the wrong password and when I change it Firefox goes right back to the old one. Thanks!

I changed my Facebook password and Firefox keeps putting my old one in and I can't log in. How do I reset or delete this?

Thanks!

If the name hasn't changed and you only need to update the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field with the old password.
If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password via the bar at the top.

  • Use the Remember Password bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.
  • Verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

If that didn't work then remove that name and password in the Password Manager and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or after reloading the login page.
If you have problems with remembering a new password then make sure that you remove all entries from that server (look for an empty name as well) and also check the exceptions to make sure that the site is not listed there.
