I got a new desktop PC and used PCmover software to migrate all data, apps, and settings to the new PC from the old. Since that time, every time I sign into my primary password to access my passwords, I must repeat my primary password 3 times. What gives? This is getting annoying.

I will be purchasing a new desktop PC so that I can change to Windows 11 soon. My concern is that I use firefox to store all my passwords. I will need to use a 3rd party to transfer all my data from my old PC, I do not want them to have access to all of my many passwords. What should I do before I hand over my old PC to them for the upgrade to new PC ? I am old and not a tech savvy bloke, so do not get too technical please.

It's been a certain amount of time since I've been waiting for Firefox to fix this major security flaw about the protection of saved password and I haven't seen any upgrade on this aspect. Let me explain : Firefox has the feature of Primary Password where we have to put a password to access the Password manager. Now there is a very big issue with this feature because if I go to any page for which I have saved my password, I just have to select the password and click the eye button to reveal the password, without even needing to put my Primary Password. I know there is a way of just disabling the auto-filling of password but for conveniency purposes it's just better to have a way to select the password. Could there be a way to either ask for the user to enter the Primary Password or implement a way to use the fingerprint to allow the filling of password as it's already the case in other browsers.

My questions are : Is the Firefox team aware of that ? and is there a way to hope that Firefox could finally implement a fingerprint unlock to access sensitive data like passwords ?

I was creating a primary password and for some reason it "glitched" or "stuttered" and it created the password without me knowing what it was. I tried several combinations that could be close to the one I was inputting. Can I uninsall Firefox and reset the password?

Every time I open Firefox, it prompts me for my Primary Password immediately. Skipping the dialog the first time opens a second, identical dialog. It's not being caused by any add-on/extension, because the problem occurs in exactly the same way in Troubleshoot Mode. It's not Sync, because I'm not signed into any Mozilla account. An internet search showed me a page here indicating I should disable Primary Password, then re-enable it. This didn't fix the problem.

Why do I need to enter the PW every time I start Firefox, even when not accessing the information? This is a ridiculous loss of time. You really want user to migrate to more user friendly browsers?

what is going on? unable to log into firefox on android mobile ? I have my password saved in bitwarden Hasn't been changed since 2018 not compromised, randomized & generated by bitwarden Mozilla is now trying to tell me it's incorrect when copy pasta into password line same password used to log into this account on this computer what gives?

I have set a primary password, and it all works exactly as it should. But, when I first start firefox, if I type too quickly, my keystrokes find their way to the address bar, rather than the primary password entry pop-up. AFAICT this is because the address bar is automatically selected as the focus for typing at firefox startup.

This sometimes means I've put the first few characters of my password into a search. And with search completion, I worry that these characters get either recorded or worse sent over the Internet.

Is there any way to deselect the address bar before I've entered my primary password? I don't want single site browsing or such, just for either my keystrokes to be buffered and sent to the primary password pop-up, or for the keyboard to block until said pop-up appears.

how to turn off, disable, kill the primary password. I want nothing to do with this feature. it is a royal pain. i have tried all the options but no go.

help last chance before i dump firefox!! thanks Buffy Bandley Grammy B

I accidentally updated my email site password to the wrong one. Previously, I had the correct one saved in Mozilla, but the wrong one were overwritten and I lost access to my email account. Is it possible to recover the password from before it was overwritten with a new one? I have no other way to get to my email, it was created long time ago and I had no backup email connected to it. You are my only hope to recover it- I checked all other options. Please help my case. Thank you for your time dear support grand master.
