Firefox Support Forum

Hi. Firefox keeps asking me to enter my Primary password at random and this all started about 2 weeks ago. Most time it pops up the next day and sometimes every 2-4hrs. I rarely shutdown my system due to work related stuff but at the same time i do update my system constantly. I also use a VPN since i work from home. (P.S. It doesn't route all my traffic through the VPN, only the ones destined to the office.) What can i do to resolve this? I do plan to uninstall and reinstall Firefox but I want that to be the last solution if all else fails. Thanks.

Several websites I use frequently, including Facebook, the Macquarie Dictionary and even Mozilla's own support website, don't work properly with the new version of Firefox. I even had to use Google Chrome to access this support page, as I couldn't get past the login page using Firefox. When I first opened the new version, Firefox told me that I had to enable cookies for it to work. I went to Preferences and checked that cookies were definitely enabled. I quit and restarted both Firefox and the entire computer, checked that cookies were still enabled and it still doesn't work. Why is this happening? I don't want to change my default browser permanently, but I need it to work for me. Can anyone help?

i have issues on my pages and it is random, the letters are blotched out in black or lime green sometimes impossible to read then the next page is fine ??? it wont show up if printed or in a screen shot help please its been going on for 5 months so far no one has helped me i have done update i keep getting the message that everything is working i had changed colors once but put it all back to default pc not even 2 yrs old yet ty for any help i can get jodi

When playing videos on Google drive on 720p, it intermittently stops. If resolution is set to automatic, resolution changes to 360p. On another browser it works fine on 720p. The issue persists with hardware acceleration disabled and in safe mode.

For some time now I've had problems with Google Shopping with Firefox. After clicking the shopping button, results are displayed for a few seconds. After that everything disappears and the website is empty. After reloading the page, something is displayed again. When I move the cursor over the pictures, everything disappears again. This problem does not exist with other browsers. Who has a solution? Thomas

I use & want to continue using Firefox Password Manager but, since updating to Version 90.0.2 (64Bit), The "Please enter your primary password" window keeps opening about every 15 minutes (I have not timed it). I have already entered my primary password & used the auto login with several webpages. Then the login window will popup & I will have to re-enter the password before I can use the features. I am running Windows 10, with the latest updates installed.

Firefox 90.0.2 on Windows 10 was installed on 7/27/2021 which is about when this started.

Firefox is suddenly asking for master password twice, while running, not at startup. I leave Firefox running at night. I find two password dialogs when I log in in the morning. I'm not sure if they display at a certain time (e.g. midnight), or if it is a result of the system going into sleep and waking.

When Firefox starts or restarts, it displays one master password as expected.

I found this article from two years ago , but the "hotfix-update-xpi-signing-intermediate-bug" is not found in about:debug or in profiles.

I have not installed any add-ons recently. Last Windows update was KB5004237 installed on 7/18.

Is it Firefox? What else could be causing this problem?

My website/blog is not loading correctly. Took off all addons, etc. It works fine in Edge. What else can I do? Wordpress site. Side widget loads at the bottom in Firefox.

UPDATE (4 AUGUST 2021): Problem solved. Disregard original question below. UPDATED

Yesterday, the websites jwz.org and dnalounge.com (yes, the two websites run by one of Mozilla's conceivers) stopped working on Firefox. They just keep saying "Connection Timed Out", despite every other website loading fine.

I went through all the add-on-disabling and troubleshooting steps emphasised here, but it hasn't solved the problem.

This happens in both Firefox desktop and mobile for Android, but works fine in other browsers. Again, I went through all the steps of disabling add-ons/plug-ins and operating in Troubleshooter mode.

Is there a way to restore my previous list of bookmarks after losing my firefox browser along with my startpage search? After I did a "reset" I ended up with everything MS and with that, I lost my browser and search...stuck with Edge and other such stuff?

Please assist.

Hi, as of a couple months ago, Firefox has started asking for the primary password multiple times. It used to only do it once when it syncs after startup. But now I sometimes get the popup for the primary password multiple times. I haven't figured out a way to reproduce since it seems to randomly pop up, even when I'm not actively doing something in the browser. I believe this started happening after an update but I can't pin down the actual onset of this problem so I'm not sure. Does anyone else experience the same thing?

Greetings,

There is a webpage about gmail account recovery in the uk that keeps showing up pin my browser when I go to type in something for google. This says has a red slash through the little lock. I have deleted history, reinstalled Firefox, cleared cache, but this site keeps appearing. It doesn't seem to show up in bookmarks. If the site loads, it doesn't have a little blue star next to the site address! I tried to block the site, but Firefox only has an addon to block the site.

Any ideas how to get rid of this website info?

I read someone's post suggesting there is a cache somewhere, but I'm not sure where to delete that info.

Please and Thank you. :)
