Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I'm really confused about the autofill feature. I've been using this feature for years and noticed that on some website the password field is filled in, but the username is not. I searched the support pages and forum topics, and it seems that is a very common issue. According to what I read, it could be either:

1. The webmaster decided to tell the browser not to fill in the username, but let the password to be filled in.
2. The webpage use some out of standard approach to name the username field, so Firefox is unable to recognize it.

What annoys me is that there's no way to understand if it's the first or the second case, so you just accept it.

It would be very helpful if Firefox could:

1. Provide a way to understand what the real problem is.
2. Add an option to override moronic security approach of the web designer, so the "do-not-fill-in-this-field" property is overridden.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this!

Has anyone seen this behavior? Is it really a browser issue or an extension one? Is it a config issue or a bug? I'm juggling 2FA settings on slack for a per workspace basis, plus to Bitwarden confusing different workspaces I'm also having issues with saving updated passwords into Bitwardens vault I'm also logged into my Mozilla account I'd like help troubleshooting this, thanks

Upgrading from System 7 PC to windows 11 PC. On new computer (windows 11) downloaded firefox, logged in; Bookmarks transfered, but some sites (AOL.com, for example) auto filling very old password. Old computer auto fills correct password. On new computer, password manager shows correct password. Why is it not working?

I been having problem with sites not populating the saved credentials from Password manager.

I tried uninstalling / reinstalling after refresh failed to improve and now i have the same problem and need help.

I need to edit the hidden passwords. There are two types of passwords. I don't know their specific names.

1) When you use the Password Manager you can view, edit, or delete passwords for specific sites. This is NOT what I'm referring to. 2) When you go to any site, before you do anything else, clicking on the login box, it displays a list of passwords from some hidden location I can't find.

I incorrectly typed in a user name ending in with .gmial (ai reversed) instead of gmail (correct). Now it shows up on the list of automatic entries when I click on the login box. It sometimes ends up as the entry that doesn't work.

Where and how do I edit the hidden password list?

Since the blow up User Id's and Passwords to various sites no longer pop in by clicking in the requestors. I was able to retreive my UIDs and Passwords but I now have to obtain them from the Hamburger, Passworkds, etc. for each site I visit that requires a login. Twice for each site...one foe UID and again for Password. That is currently the worst problem I am facing but other damage was done with the update.

Suggestions for fixes are welcome.

Recently , after years of trouble free use I can't get into my email without correcting the incorrect password firefox tries to enter into YAHOO email . I tried using google AI to fix problem and all I got was a bunch of convoluted nonsense . This should be very simple . You save a login credential , firefox enters that credential for you next time you login . This sounds simple enough but what I got from AI was all this nonsense about cookies and tracking nonsense . I want things to be simple and direct . I NEVER SELECT REMEMBER HISTORY ...PERIOD . I NEVER SELECT "LEAVE YOU SIGNED IN" . The reasons are simple ...I WANT THINGS TO STAY SIMPLE .

The second I let firefox start leaving me signed in or remembering history , nothing but bullshit will follow . Now I have an issue which may result in me abandoning firefox entirely . Turns out the reason I got away from google is now what firefox is . Firefox used to be a straightforward browser that simply worked . Now its gotten complicated with all sorts of useless trash and here I am with a password manager that will not work for some completely convoluted reason . It enters a incorrect password . Any attempt to look in settings to correct problem is useless . The password I find is not even the same incorrect password it tries to enter !!!!!!!! This firefox is rapidly turning into shit !

Dear Team, good day! I use russian website gosuslugi.ru periodically (not daily), and my password for this website is saved in Firefox Password Manager. Today I tried to log in to this website - but my Firefox for Windows (ver. 152.0.4 x64) showed me that I need to enter "Password" - even though it's already saved in Password Manager & 100% correct (I tried same password in Google Chrome on the same PC and in Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with Firefox browser - in both cases everything is OK). Im using Windows 10 22H2 x64, activated, no any problems with it. I tried clearing the gosuslugi.ru cache in my Firefox - but it didnt help. could you please suggest any solutions? screenshot attached.

FF is offering up possible login names for a particular site I have used previously even though I have removed all related browsing history, form data, and cookies (and cleared the cache). What am I missing? Is it using stored history for unrelated sites to guess at a user name, or is there some other hidden history I need to clear?

Please show me the settings relating to my connection to triodos.co.uk. I need to remove the digit 9 which appears by default on the login page.

Sometime I can sign in, sometimes I can't, and have no idea why this is so. I tried logging in to the Mozilla Support site, but at first the auto-fill kept putting in log-in info for a completely other site. Then when I looked up the correct info, and entered it manually, I got: "Your account has been blocked after multiple consecutive login attempts"

And that's all, no mention of what options I had, reset the password, or how long I would be blocked from logging in, nothing, but that my account was blocked!! Then I tried to log into the community forum, and that went fine, so why not the log in to the Support site???? I've logged into both many times previously, yet all too often, there is some glitch or another, stopping me from logging in. Why does FF's own auto-fill feature not get it right? Isn't that the point to it, so we can be logged in automatically?

If I'm having some kind of issue with the browser, and need to seek help, the last thing I want to deal with is being prevented from even getting to do so! How can I get this to stop happening?
