Been working with Last Pass support with this problem and it appears it is a Firefox problem not Last Pass. In the past when I closed my browser and then reopened it later, I had to enter my credentials to log into Last Pass, that all of sudden changed. Now when I open my browser, the credentials are automatically entered, exposing all of my credentials to someone who merely opens my browser. There are several items that lead to a Firefox problem: 1) I have Last Pass also on MS Edge, it acts correctly; 2) If I log out of Last Pass before closing Firefox, then when I reopen Firefox, I must enter my credentials to log into Last Pass. Firefox seems to be "remembering" the status of Last Pass when I close the browser, then reopen. We (myself and Last Pass support team) know all "boxes" that should be checked in Last Pass are and all that should not be checked are not. I even uninstalled Last Pass, no different. I went to uninstall Firefox, but was recommended to "Refresh" so I did, no help! Using Firefox ver. 149.0.2 (64 bit). I see this problem as a security issue, putting all of my credentials for all websites in jeopardy. At this time it seems my only solution is to change browsers to Edge or Chrome, however, I have been a Firefox fan since almost the beginning of Firefox and don't want to give it up--please help.

The account dwr50@excite.com is no longer active yet firefox keeps trying to use it to log into things like this support area. How can I get rid of the old email address ?

Hello, when I am using a login form, it sometimes suggests an email I can use, but I do not want this behavior in case I am sharing my screen. And some of the emails that are suggested are also not mine to begin with, so I simply do not want Firefox suggesting it to me.

I would like to disable this feature altogether, but I have looked online, searched the settings, and yet I found no way of disabling this. I even confirmed that my Firefox Passwords doesn't have any entries, so I don't understand where it is getting these emails from. I would like help with disabling these suggested emails.

something like this happened July 16, 2025 and I had to change my password It happened again August 23, 2025 And again Sept. 9, 2025 and I had to change my password Now it's happening again (after I updated the app) and as FF doesn't recognize my old password(s) I can't do things like see an invitation from an old friend because I can't sign in because it doesn't recognize my FF password. I'm on a 2021 iMac 24 inc, M1, 8GB, running Sequoia15.6.1 I'm afraid to update my OS because what if I get blocked out of my email. Apple just suggested I switch email apps. But I've been running Firefox and Yahoo (and several other accounts) for more than 25 years on a dozen or more devices and I don't want to lose that history (this happened to a friend who lost his entire gmail history. Yikes.;)

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!

Firefox does a good job of filling in username and password prompts. Occasionally, it doesn't. The sign-in prompt for American Airlines is an example. Go to AA.COM and click on the "Log in" button. The prompt box labeled, "AAdvantage® # or username", is not filled in; but the prompt box labeled, "Password" is recognized and filled in. There must be something about the wording or the HTML used for the first box that obscures the requested information.

Not sure I understand this.... I know all about the saved logins & passwords that I can find under settings and I use that list regularly. But sometimes I have a site that isn't listed in my list. Perhaps it's been a very long time since I used it etc...

But when I click on the user or login field for the site, a list of user names will appear and it's obvious that these are not related to this site. For example I'm on a specific site this morning and I see a list of 6 user names, including my regular email address, another email that I sometimes use, 3 variations of a common user name I use, and a long number.

If I go to the saved password list and search for this site, it isn't listed. If I sort by user name, I can't really search for the usernames that are more common but I can look for the long number and 1 variation of the user name

• Bulleted list item I see the long number and the site it's associated with and it's not this site.
• Bulleted list item I do not see the specific variation of the user name

So....

• Bulleted list item Why does the user name that is a long number appear in a list when I click on the user field at the website when it's associated with another website?
• Bulleted list item Why does a variation of the user name appear in the same list when it is not shown anywhere in the saved password list.

I've seen it happen many times and what's really strange is that on 1 site clicking on the user name field will bring up a list that contains unassociated user names and another website might bring up a different list of unassociated user names! Really strange. Where are these tidbits of information being saved?

Hi,

I am concerned that when I signed into my bank account today, the saved username which is autofilled by Firefox had been changed. The change was subtle -- from uppercase to lowercase letters -- but it wasn't me that changed it. This is a site I log in to often, almost every day.

Of course I am worried that this is some sort of hack.

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?

I use an online retailer to buy birthday cards and gifts - Moonpig.com. Whenever I choose Paypal as my payment option, it logs me directly into my Paypal account without me entering any details. I have several Paypal accounts and want to choose which one to use. I have no saved payment details on Moonpig's site and having checked, they say that somehow my browser is logging me in automatically. That's Firefox and I want it to stop.

I have no issues with Firefox storing log-in details but I should be able to choose which Paypal account I want to use.

Any thoughts please? UF

Firefox memorizes userIDs and I do not see an option to stop it from doing so. Is there an option?

Keep in mind that passwords are not limited to the password entry. Every entry in a sign-in process is an opportunity for a password. For example, the answer to "What street did you grow up on?" could be "Beatlejoice". Similarly, the answer to "What was your mother's middle name?" could be "Aardvark". Nonsensical answers to security questions are more secure than truthful answers.

Again, in the interest of security, is there an option to stop firefox from remembering so much?

Hello,

Several sites incorrectly tag their username (and sometimes also password) forms and this prevents firefox's automatic username/password autofil dropdown.

Is there a button or some way to force the autofil to appear? It is a pain in my behind that I have to manually open my passwords in firefox and find the page I am already on and copy/paste these things, just because some websites have strange HTML.

I understand that firefox can't override the HTML of these pages, but there should be some hotkey to force open the autofill dropdown (ideally with some sort of search function or selection based on url). It does also need to have an option to select whether I am pasting username or password.
