Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I have been trying to get into my other Firefox account through the browser by resetting the password but every time I attempt to make a new one it errors. "Unexpected Error". I did have a recovery key enabled on the account but when I tried to look at it it wouldn't show so I removed in hopes that it would resolve my issue. Nope! I'm able to get into the Firefox account with my linked Google account so I don't have to use the Firefox credentials. I would appreciate it if someone could me with my issue. Thanks!

Please Help - I'm doing something wrong. Firefox makes me log in to websites when I have saved the password and kept the cookies. Why? Obviously I don't understand firefox's password procedures.

In my settings my user name and password are saved for specific sites. (others I have set to Never remember) Password options are set as follows: Ask to save passwords - ticked Fill usernames and passwords automatically - ticked Suggest strong passwords - ticked Suggest Firefox Relay email masks to protect your email address - ticked Show alerts about passwords for breached websites - ticked Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords - not ticked Use a Primary Password - not ticked Allow Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts - not ticked

Cookies and Site Data settings are: Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed - ticked In the “Exceptions”/ Exceptions for Cookies and site data option all the web sites which I want to keep and log in automatically are listed with “allow” In other words, I am trying to delete Cookies by default, but keep them for these specific websites, as an exception.

I therefore expect Firefox to automatically log me into those specific websites when I visit them So why does Firefox make me log in again every time I visit those specific websites?

I use the Firefox "password keeper". Today, I changed the password on a website. The Firefox app auto filled the new password. Everything was fine. But when I went back to the password keeper, there was a double entry for the website for which the password was changed. I inadvertently deleted the website (and password) that I should have kept.

Is there anyway to retrieve and restore that password?
