Firefox Community Forum

Have been having trouble with passwords and then to change them on Yahoo. tried to down load Firefox as I had this before as gone now im having trouble making this my default but somehow it isnt downloading.

To all at Mozilla. 1.I have recently made a donation - as I always do when asked. And have done so for over 20 years. 2. I am now working on my backup site, which I keep on a separate hard drive. 3. I try to check my email and am asked for a donation - again. No way! 4. Now everything fails.My email password. My Firefox password. Fat lot of use saving passwords on Firefox. 5. I try to set up new passwords. I can't paste my new Firefox password into a file. 6. After one and a half hours of this I am not surprised that you need to ask people not to vent their feelings. &. I am an old man and one of the great joys of nearing the end of my life is that you won't be getting any more donations from me after that. Josh.

I did not set a primary password but they I'm constantly asked to enter it? I can't reset it because it'd delete all the saved passwords which I want to view. Is there a default primary password?

firefox always re asks for my password on my new computer, never had this on my old computer. i typically only need to put in my password after not using the computer for awhile, then it never asks me again.

How can i download a pdf of my passwords. I think i need to set up a lock screen first. Please give precise instructions how to accomplish both these tasks. Im having great difficulty signing in and out of sites so until i figure out how and why things have changed i need a list of passwords. My device is currently unlocked. I have trouble finding my way back to my questions here. Why doesnt firefox have a history function? Sometimes it does but its not recent. I put all these questions together because its too difficult finding my way back to every individual question. I have a hundred questions about firefox so many that its daunting to consider as it would take me days to do and its time i dont have. Somehow my firefox account has gotten too confusing and complex

I enter the primary password for saved password when starting FF as prompted. It takes password fine and works just fine on sites just as designed and has worked for years. Lately last couple weeks since last update to 132.0.1 I notice a change. I didn't notice before this update. When starting Firefox it asks for primary password which is normal, I enter it and all is fine. I can go to sites and all works fine, passwords and user id are entered when prompted. However, later in the day when I go to a site wanting password, I get the prompt to enter primary password again. That never use to happen, once I entered the primary password, it didn't prompt again unless Firefox was restarted. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it started and I just didn't notice some time ago. I know it wasn't that long ago the primary password prompt didn't have the little eye so you could see what you typed. I liked that, because FF for whatever reason wasn't always realizing I had the shift key pressed. Now with the eyeball I can see that it doesn't have what I typed, but that is not the problem I am asking about. Below is what Mozilla says about primary password:

Important: After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords. This also applies if you want to add, remove or show a password.

Firefox has been put on Flathub, but it only supports X86. Unfortunately, many Linux distributions are slow to update Firefox for ARM. Other ways to install Firefox have poor reliability. Please add Firefox ARM support on Flathub.

On my new Computer I installed Firefox.

In one User Account the Sidebar has the new look (ref. Screenshot) whereas the other gets the old style, where you can either see or hide the bar completely.

Any advice to get the new version for both users - I cannot find the pertinent setting.

Went to get on the government page and I even typed in different passwords I have for the government and it dont know me. tried to get into Walmart and forget it. none are being recognized Ive had updates today also. dont know if that did it. I have a different password and email for all my sites thats why I use Mozilla to remember them for me Went to look up my passwords and they are missing

I accidentally updated my email site password to the wrong one. Previously, I had the correct one saved in Mozilla, but the wrong one were overwritten and I lost access to my email account. Is it possible to recover the password from before it was overwritten with a new one? I have no other way to get to my email, it was created long time ago and I had no backup email connected to it. You are my only hope to recover it- I checked all other options. Please help my case. Thank you for your time dear support grand master.

I use Firefox on all my devices. I recently had to replace an hp laptop for water damage. I have a new Chrome book (CB) that's replaced the laptop. I ran into a problem once I installed the Firefox app on the CB. I'm having trouble getting passwords and contacts to sync from my Samsung mobile phone. I was able to get into Firefox on the CB by changing my password. However, I can't get the Samsung device and the CB to sync passwords and contacts. Can you help me with this?
