After the last Linux upgrade to 36.0.2 the password or user name hot links only work once. The first time the link is gray and will activate. The second time I try and use this feature the link is not gray and will not activate.

Every time this happens I have to close Firefox and reopen it. Then I get one more shot at auto loading a password before it stops working.

I use an independent password manager to store my passwords and prefer it over Firefox's because it has a highly customizable generator for creating new passwords. However whenever I am on a new site, Firefox pops up with a prompt to generate a secure new password (it appears as a drop-down from the item text box). My password manager also creates a pop up/drop down, but it is hidden behind Firefox's and I cannot access it. I need to be able to disable the secure password generator prompt. Please take a look at my excellently annotated screenshot, attached.

I have a new e-mail address, so I'm updating all the entries in my about:logins list of passwords. There are a couple of moz-extension entries with very long codes as part of the name. When I click on these in the left-hand column, it appears in the main part of the window where I can edit or remove it. For regular website entries I can click on the link to take me to the site, but with the moz-extension entries I can't do that. Can these be deleted? Thanks!

I'm putting together a webpage where employees can change/reset their LDAP passwords. Firefox asks if the user wants to generate a random one.

being an LDAP password, having their Firefox browser generate and manage it would not be practical as not all services using the LDAP password don't all run in Firefox.

I am able to save passwords during a Firefox session but when I close Firefox and then open it again the passwords are all gone.

I have checked settings for Privacy and Security and have tried various combinations including Remember History and a variety of combinations under Use Custom Settings for History.

I am running Firefox 137.0 (64-bit) under Windows.

Any assistance gratefully received. This is an annoying and time-consuming problem.

Thanks!

I cannot find a way to disable this irritating feature which means I have to write in my email address every time which in turn increases the likelihood of mistyping my address.
