I have firefox running on my mac desktop, macbook and iphone. Starting yesterday the firefox password manager has stopped working on my desktop - it won't make any suggestions for passwords on web pages. I've been reduced to going to about:prefererences, manage passwords and manually searching for my password. It still works on my macbook and iphone. Any suggestions as to how to debug this?

Bank website always adds password but the passwords have never been saved! And they're incorrect!

My bank website asks for pin and password codes but each character option displays the fancy Firefox symbol which I can;t delete. The passwords for the site have never been saved but I can't enter the correct password characters because I can't override the symbol. I'm having to access this bank account on Chrome unfortunately. Most frustrating because the website is not listed in "Saved passwords" so I can't edit it! Thanks Mike Bathgate

I have an autofill issue with certain websites. When I go to that website, the search feature automatically fills in with my password. Obviously, I don't want my password publicly showing up on the site. I have deleted history, cookies, cache, etc...but for whatever reason when I go to this specific website my password will automatically be showing up in the search feature. How do I get rid of this?

Thank you to anyone that helps.

Unable to autofil usernames and sometimes password on various sites

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.

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.;)

Firefox Autofilling Passwords Twice On Messenger.Com

First I tried all the suggestions I could find. And FF just kept double filling the password. So I did a completely fresh FF install to a separate folder with no cookies or passwords or anything saved, and never any extensions installed. Still double fills the password -- which makes it impossible to log in. I am using FF Portable, and tried both the latest version and an older version. What could possibly be doing this?

Hi,

the password manager (about:logins) is a very handy feature, i use all the time. However, tehre is so many pages where the FF password manager fails to suggest the correct login user name to fill in the "user" field. (Interestingly, the password fill is much more accurate).

To start with: for logging in on THIS VERY SITE for posting this question, I needed to:

  1. manually open the FF logins page
  2. enter the url "accounts.firefox.com" for search
  3. pick the entry
  4. copy the username
  5. swithc back window
  6. paste and confirm.
  7. repeat for password (I think - or came this at least suggest correctly maybe)

What's going wrong? Is my installation broken - or is this for all users the same experience?

Tks

I recall that Firefox used to log-in automatically to websites that require a user name and/or password. This helpful feature seems to have been removed, even for sites that are listed in the "Passwords" display. How can I get it back?

I had a saved login name and password for a web site. Evidently, I had multiple saved login names and passwords. I deleted all of the saved login names and passwords using the passwords tab. But the old ones keep showing up when I try to log in. The owner recently merged with another business and changed the business name. Now my saved logins and passwords no longer work. but when I try to log in, the ones I thought I had deleted from my passwords feature keep sowing up. Too helpful except that they don't work.

The old name is on a tile on my home page - not the list that runs near the top of my home page, but the row of tiles that appears lower down in the page. How can I delete it? I would send you a screenshot of what I am talking about, but only seconds after I take a screenshot it disappears and I can't find it.
