Firefox on my Android smartphone is well synchronized with Firefox on the computer. I can see that both contain the same list of logins and passwords. When I must log in other applications, there is a notice that appears saying "unlock faierferox" followed by the sign of fingerprints. But when I try to have my fingerprint recognized, nothing happens.

What should I do?

Thanks for helping.

How to get my usernames and passwords to auto-fill again?

When I try to enter a password for any website after a few updates ago, I don't get the option to enter my password that's saved in my password list into the fields anymore. I have to manually search, copy, and paste the information in. The app will then ask me if I want to update or modify the login information that is unchanged from what should already be in my browser.

Regardless of whether I say yes or no, the password remains unselectable when I go back to that website, and when I manually enter the information, it again asks me if I want to update the login information.

Hello!

I want to easily log into iCloud using my Redmi Note 9 android phone using firefox; so I went into settings and carefully added the URL for iCloud and the password and saved it. BUT, when I then go to iCloud URL and try to log in with my email, the password does NOT work! Why?

I must say, I have less and less regard for both apple and firefox. Why, oh why must it be a royal flucking pain in the ass to simply log into a cloud service on your phone? But for apple and firefox, this is evidently asking too much.

firefox on android manages websites and passwords like a sh!t sandwich. For example: when I do log into iCloud with firefox android manually, it DOES NOT prompt to save the password! How stupid is that? You want to log into a cloud server quickly and easily? Dream on! No can do-oh on firefox. You'd better scribble your password on a post-it note and bring it with you; otherwise firefox with flock you.

It really seems as time marches on, these giant tech corporations get sh!ttier and sh!ttier....unaccountable, indifferent to the peasantry who must suffer needlessly using their sh!tty products.

Time to look for a new android web browser as firefox is rubbish.

Have a great day :-)

I'm trying to remove over 500 passwords saved in FF, I removed it on PC and it disappeared from all connected Win clients. But I can't remove it from Android - they are still in FF & Lockwise. Tell me then, why sync works between Win clients but Android client ignores deletion of passwords?

Username Fields - type-ahead passwords symbol

There is a behavior change for my android installation.

When presented with a login/password web page, I no longer get type-ahead/autofill select option, instead I now only get a key symbol and passwords string.

When I started typing my username, I use to get a marquee with history of matching strings that I could select from, now its just a password/key button

logins and passwords -> autofill is disabled, save logins is "never save"

autofill is enabled.

I'm not particularly looking to autofill, just get back the type-ahead selections and get rid of the password button that replaced it, so I don't have to type my entire username everytime.

Any suggestions?

I just switched over from Chrome and am setting up my browser, and it seems I cannot select my country for an Address in Autofill? Wtf is that about? I'm an American who lives in Australia (dunno if it matters but I use US English) and my residence is in Australia. But the only two countries selectable are US & Canada... As if there are no other countries out there in the world where people live. How do I fix this? It's incredibly frustrating not to have, and makes zero sense to me why it would be a restriction - I have never seen any other use of countries in a form where it is restricted.
