password fail using fire fox yet again- why?

I see very poor answers (lack of ui/userinterface and just plain lack of human factors for this problem.

UI/HF engineers can explain things so easy, but not here!

Hello everyone.

I'm dealing with something a bit strange.

When I try to use Firefox on Linux to search for things with Google, the `+` character is automatically removed from the query string. For example:

• Searching for `c++`, I got `c`
• Searching for `g++`, I got `g`.

This issue doesn't happen for DuckDuckGo, but only Google (using the same browser, just different tabs). I don't have (and don't plan to install) other browsers on my linux box to try, but from another machine in the same network I didn't have this issue with Safari / Chrome.

I'm using Firefox for Linux on Fedora Sway Spin.

I created a screen recording but the forum doesn't allow posting video. I can share it if needed.

The issue happened locally (I think couple of days go, earlier I was able to search for C++ related stuff troubles).

Please let me know if there's anything I can try to fix this.

Thank you very much in advance

You managed to change my password for accessing AMAZON to a very long password that has never worked so far for the last two months! So, I have been denied a site I use to use regularly and you still deny a human to ask for help, only your jog-related jargon!

I would hate to sue you but AMAZON may help me when they hear what you've done to me, and perhaps hundreds of other former customers.

So, help me get back to AMAZON today!

I am running Firefox 145.0 on a Windows 10 desktop PC. Even though I am using an external Password Manager (DualSafe Password Manager), Firefox keeps asking to save passwords. When I look at the privacy & Security section in Settings, Ask to save passowrds is ticked and also greyed out. To access the setting, I have to disable DualSafe. The setting becomes accessible and unticked. I then re-enable DualSafe. If I then close Firefox, the setting is re-ticked and greyed out when I start Firefox again. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

Hola, Gerardo.

Gracias por tu respuesta.

Primero antes de responder a tus preguntas le digo que inicio sesión con, Chrome sin problemas sin tener que teclear la complicada contraseña, cuando inicio sesión con FireFox tengo que abrir fichero encriptado donde tengo todas mis contraseñas, copiar y pegar, obviamente este problema es porque FireFox no guarda contraseñas.

Respondo a tus preguntas.

1) borro todas las carpetas de FireFox y limpieza del registro de Windows, con el programa Ccleaner

2) uso la cuenta de FireFox sin sincronizar. (siempre lo he hecho así, sin problemas)

3) Como bien sabes al iniciar instalación nueva FireFox dice crear nuevo perfil, clic en aceptar, Termina la instalación y el problema persiste. Antes de la actualización guardaba contraseñas. Es la primera vez que pasa este problema, llevo utilizando FireFox más de 30 años. Antes de actualizar a versión 14.03 no había problemas de contraseñas

Le envio captura de pantalla importación de contraseñas, como puedes ver se ven todas y al cerrar FireFox y abrir las contraseñas desaparecen, como puedes ver en la otra captura de pantalla

Gracias.

After every restart, all passwords are gone and I have to re-import them from a file. What's that about? It happens after every Firefox update. So I have to quit Firefox and reinstall it.

Hi there; I have just read the article about settings on password saving. I am complying with those settings, but yet my logins must be entered constantly, lately. What am I doing wrong? Where do I look next? Thank you.

A few days ago my saved passwords all disappeared. I have been logging in manually and when I do Firefox asks if I want to save the password and I click yes. The password then shows up in the saved Passwords. But... in a day or so it disappears again. What's going on? I have not changed any settings.
