The password saver and autofill has worked for me for many years. However, recently (08/18/2026) on many login pages that I regularly use, it will not !! I did discover that, if I supply the first character of the USERNAME, only then Firefox will supply the rest.

I am using FF Private browser for sensitive pages that I don't want tracked by my add-ons. However, a major annoyance is how stored passwords seem to be handled. E.g., when I try to login, and say I have 3 stored logins (all for the same URL), then FF private only offers one of them (chosen at random it seems), hiding the 2 others. Why does it do that? It just seems monumentally stupid and is a major usability hindrance. Tracking protection OK, but if this is the result then why bother. It makes the browser unusable.

One of my "Login required" sites (Call it Site One) is prompting me with a username when I click into the Username entry box. Unfortunately, the username it's prompting me for is from "Site Two".

I have never saved a username for Site One. The username it's prompting me with is from a completely different domain name, Site Two.

I searched Usernames/passwords and found only one occurrence for the username it is prompting with. It's properly listed under the correct Site Two. I deleted it anyway to test. That made no difference: it still appears in the drop down for Site One (after restarting Firefox).

Just to be clear: Site One has no stored usernames or passwords. I've never stored a username or password for Site One. I have done so for Site Two (but again, that's now deleted). Yet this username, which is now not stored anywhere in Firefox, is still appearing as a prompt for Site One.

Lastly, this is not a new issue. This problem dates back months.

FF is offering up possible login names for a particular site I have used previously even though I have removed all related browsing history, form data, and cookies (and cleared the cache). What am I missing? Is it using stored history for unrelated sites to guess at a user name, or is there some other hidden history I need to clear?

Ever since the latest update I have been unable to use alternative password managers (Bitwarden in my case) to autofill passwords on IOS devices. I run a home server, so any local domain on my network defaults to using the Firefox password manager instead of the Bitwarden password manager. It seems like most websites with a proper domain work (for example, if I visit one website internally I get the Firefox password manager, if I visit the same site via my reverse proxy/domain I get the Bitwarden prompt for password entry).

Is there any work being done to add the option to order the password autofill dropdown to order those entries by recently used rather than alphabetically. See screenshot

The account dwr50@excite.com is no longer active yet firefox keeps trying to use it to log into things like this support area. How can I get rid of the old email address ?

Hello, when I am using a login form, it sometimes suggests an email I can use, but I do not want this behavior in case I am sharing my screen. And some of the emails that are suggested are also not mine to begin with, so I simply do not want Firefox suggesting it to me.

I would like to disable this feature altogether, but I have looked online, searched the settings, and yet I found no way of disabling this. I even confirmed that my Firefox Passwords doesn't have any entries, so I don't understand where it is getting these emails from. I would like help with disabling these suggested emails.

Firefox v149.1 on iPadOS 26.4. saved credentials (username , password) are not being autofilled, unlike in ios. Even when only 1 entry per site exists, this needs to be selected manually. Steps to reproduce: - Log into site for which 1a single credential is stored - Bar above keyboard does not show the available username, but just autofill - Selecting autofill produces list of usernames, but does NOT autofill username - Same behavior for password

I accidentally typed my protonmail password into the field of my username/mail address. I don't remember what more I did (propably answered yes to save) but now there is as autofilled my password for username always I open my Protonmail account. I am using Firefox as browser (should be the newest version) while Emailing.

I tried to delete autofill of Firefox according to the next advise: "go to Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to "Forms and Autofill," and uncheck "Autofill addresses" to stop saving them"

Then I was astonished. There is no "Forms and Autofill" setting on my Firefox at all!

Protonmail settings didn't help either nor Windows 11 - neither FAQ.

I have been using 1Password 7 to manage my login credentials. It includes a Firefox extension to fill in account names and passwords in login alerts and pages.

Firefox 147.0.1 (macOS aarch64) in January 2026 has broken 1Password 7's ability to fill in account names and passwords.

To reproduce: 1. Install 1Password 7 Version 7.9.11 (70911000) and its extension version 4.7.5.90 in Firefox 147.0.1 on macOS. 2. Visit a URL for which 1Password 7 has login credentials. 3. Click on the toolbar icon for 1Password 7. A 1Password 7 dialogue box pops down from the icon, containing the username and password for that URL. 4. Click the Autofill button in that dialogue box.

Observed behaviour: 1. Username and Password fields remain blank.

Expected behaviour: 1. Username and Password from 1Password 7 appear in the Username and Password fields.

For approximately the last three months, there was a partial failure similar to this. 1. 1Password 7 popdown dialogue moves from the toolbar icon to the Firefox tab for that URL. 2. Username and Password fields remain blank. 3. Workaround: click in the username field, then tab 2-4 times to further UI objects in the login credentials form. Then click the 1Password toolbar icon, then click the Autofill button in the popdown dialogue. Then, the Username and Password from 1Password 7 appear in the Username and Password fields.

The expected behaviour occurs for the same URLs in Safari.

Thus I suspect that Firefox has somehow changed its behaviour in the last few months to cause this regression. I have not changed the 1Password software versions in this time, because I am intentionally using a previous version of 1Password.

I am looking for a fix or workaround which works with my current 1Password software version. I am not interested in a solution which requires me to upgrade to the current version of 1Password. (The current version of 1Password imposes a feature which I am resisting.) I realise that this reduces the chance that I can persuade the Firefox team to find and correct this regression.

I have two e mails, but when i try to go to my secondary email [email 1 removed]@gmail.com i always get my primary one, [email 2 removed]@gmail.com. why?

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?

I now have to right click the password field and select which password I want to use, this is cumbersome and counterintuitive, there is NO hint that password autofill is still there, WTF? if you're dead set on this "new way", how can I have the old way back?

Thanks!

auto filling of password in Android not working properly I mean its not promoting automatically fill the saved password. It also not fill in Android desktop mode. But in pc it's working fine with same login id.

Suddenly, Firefox is not auto-filling my passwords. I am experienced, and have gone over all settings multiple times. It is requiring me to click "manage passwords" and then copy from my saved passwords, and paste in the password, instead of auto-filling.
