I use firefox password manager and have for years. I did not change my password in password manager but I can no longer edit or view my saved passwords. A box comes up asking me for my password but it keeps saying it is trying to allow me in to view my saved password but nothing happens. However, firefox still uses the saved passwords for all 37 of my saved sites and works to allow me to log into saved sites without hesitation. I tried changing my password to password manager and it tells me it changed the password but it will still not allow me to edit. When I click the edit button nothing happens. I have tried over and over and over. I often used my firefox password manager to go in and look up passwords to use on my ipad. I hope you can help. Thank you

Password Manager will not save a URL larger than the first few words (base URL). But the site necessary to login contains more directions after the "xxx.com", and Password Manager truncates everything after the ".com" so it will not return to the proper site to login.

I generally get Firefox to save all my logins and passwords. However, I have several websites excepted. Recently, I tried to enter another 'exception' but Firefox isn't registering it i.e. it opens that logon page with all the details, including password, already entered, despite multiple attempts to have it saved as an exception.

I have a small usability suggestion regarding browser password managers.

When a website changes its domain (for example, from example-old.com to example-new.com), existing saved login entries keep the old domain. In many browsers, users cannot edit the domain field of the saved login.

As a result, users must delete the existing password and create a new one, which is inconvenient when managing many accounts.

A simple improvement would be to allow editing the domain/URL field of an existing saved login entry.

Example: example-old.comexample-new.com

Instead of deleting the login, users could just update the domain.

It’s a small feature, but it would significantly improve password management usability.

Thanks for your work on building great products.

Hi all.

I suppose this applies as much to Firefox on the desktop as it does to iOS, really.

I'm having real trouble with passwords, now that I've moved over from Safari to Firefox & Apple have seen fit to create a standalone Passwords app. (Life was so much simpler before they did that!)

I have the extension installed, but I'm getting mis-matches between the two (or three if you count the phone, meaning: Passwords App, Firefox Desktop & Firefox iOS).

I suppose the way it should work in my head is that when Firefox asks me if I want to save a password, it should save it to the passwords app (although I have no problem if it saves the password into the Firefox preferences too) & when I go to log in somewhere, it should call the password from the passwords app, but it doesn't seem to be doing that, I'm just getting multiple versions of log-ins everywhere.

I just had to reset my Instagram log-in. Firefox generated the password & it's now saved in the Firefox passwords list but it hasn't appeared in the Passwords app.

Shouldn't the extension be keeping them synchronised?

Why all of a sudden I cannot reacht my saved passwords anymore. Also it does nit prefill the saved passwords anymore when going to a website. How come Firefox/Mozilla keeps changing these essential things?? It makes it very much so less productive.

I've included a screenshot of what I get when clikcing on the Password tab. The information displayed in this wcreen also does not work. Clicking on Sync, does just nothing, just showing Sync in grey... Clicking on Login above just show this screen screen again. Useless.

Hi everyone 🙋♂

FF password manager seams to record password only for the root website as a reference regardless where we are in the website so... if we need two different psds inside a specific website, we're screwed ! Per instance :

For Fsi.com/account I set one password = p1 and for Fsi.com/webmail I set another password = p2

FF password manager store both passwords under Fsi.com so... the latest set overrides the first set.

How can we force FF password manager to reference the whole website path and not only the website root path ?

Best regards, iBenny

When I am asked for a new password, it seems Firefox pops up with a suggestion. I have "Ask to save passwords" turned off. I want 1Password to generate my passwords and the pop-ups do not follow my 1Password specs. Therefore, I think Firefox is displaying the pop-ups. Is this a known bug?

Does the attached screen grab look like a Firefox pop-up? Tell me what to look for please. If you want the Troubleshooting Info I'll need some time to figure that out and send. Thanks in advance. ~fm
