For the last several weeks, Firefox has been prompting me to "Please enter primary password" multiple times per day or even per hour. If I do so, the dialog box goes away, only to come back again later. I'm finding this very frustrating.

Firefox does always prompt for this when I start it, as it has for many years.

I tried the recommended solution for a similar problem presented here but it didn't help.

This started some time after I updated from 130.0.1 to 133.0, but I have no idea whether the update is the cause.

Can anyone recommend what I can do to solve this or at least to investigate it further?

I've used Firefox for decades. All of a sudden, it stopped working the way it always has. It won't let me sign into any sites to which I have subscriptions; these are sites like the New York Times and The Guardian. And it won't even open financial sites where I have accounts. When I try to do these on Chrome, everything works fine.

I prefer to use Startpage as my search engine with Firefox on my Mac. I have that set up, but it's so annoying that when I put something in the address or search bar, no search happens. Instead, I just get the Startpage home page and then have to retype the same thing in there! How do I solve this?

Mobile Phone Firefox Android Browser Support of Proton Account

My mobile phone is Samsung Galaxy A54. Having purchased Proton Unlimited on Novemver 27, 2024, I had Security breeches using the Brave Browser coupled with ProtonVPN. Immediately, I uninstalled both. Samsung reset the phone. (The final confirmation of being "hacked" occured when finding a new App installed without my knowledge; having a Contact Address with the Street Address: "Hacker Lane". Why so obvious? I could list other red flags that I wasn't certain about, but don't have the space here to explain. I have two Proton Accounts that are linked. I had to access them for 2FA linked to Google, PayPal, & Samsung. Am unsure if it's safe to continue using Proton Pass. I changed my Google, PayPal, & Samsung passwords so that they won't match the previous ones stored with Proton's Password Manager. I don't feel secure storing my Passwords with Chrome or FireFox, either. The Samsung "Reset" was not a "Hard Reset". I have Yubikeys stored on my Yubico Authenticator THAT I HAVE NOT USED...though purchasing them on the same day that I signed on wirh Proron Unlimited. Can't figure out how to add or use them with Accounts. With a hard phone reset I may danage the installed Keys. Can you help with these issues? Thanks...for any insights.
