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.

With the password settings for my domain, it seems to count the saved passwords as if they are for the same account, even though they are different. It also doesn’t show an image or label to indicate which account each password belongs to.

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 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 exported the passwords from Firefox to a .CSV file. I brought the CSV file into Excel. The 3 rightmost columns are labelled timeCreated timeLastUsed timePasswordChanged. The contents appear to be 13 digit integers like 1459431833997 (in Firefox this shown as 'Mar 31, 2016').

Is there a way to have those a human-readable date fields?

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.

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 ?

How can manually add a web address and password to the saved passwords list? When I visit one particular website I need to enter the password and the SAVE PASSWORD popup doesn't come up.

Hi,

I had some hardware problems on my old PC and for some reason most likely to do with accounts when I restarted on Win 11 on new PC I had lost the majority of passwords saved to the Browser Password manager.

I have lost my old email address and am having some issues working out whether for some reason on the old system I was using my old email address to log in.

Is there any workaround to trying to determine whether I have a seperate account possibly linked to old mobile or email account that may link to the Password manager that contains my old PC systems password link.

I am setting up a more secure way to save passwords also? Is it better to use a portable hard drive rather than something cloud based for passwords?

I am a senior and at times do make some elementary mistakes with digital literacy so sympathetic answers would be greatly appreciated.

In web forms that ask for my email address Firefox displays a message 'Manage passwords' instead of displaying me email address. 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. I have searched all over the place trying to find an answer but without luck. Can someone tel me how to disable this? Thanks.
