Issue with primary password, I'd appreciate if someone could shine a light on this issue. I feel I'm wasting time unnecessary. Here it comes:

On a given day and out of the blue Firefox starts asking for primary password whenever it needs to save a password for a website. I type my password to no avail. I'm logged in, I can sync but I can't see saved passwords. I reset my password with recovery key. I set a new password. I log in my account. I can see my browsing history but same problem.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance

Firefox 131.0(aarch64) OSX 15.0.1

1st Issue: The 'Clear Cache' doesn't seem to completely clear the cache. Eg: I'm logged into gmail, I go to Privacy & Security and then click Clear Cache and History. I navigate back to gmail. I'm still logged in.

2nd Issue: When I right click and 'Open Link in New Private Window' this doesn't actually take me to a private window. I have to select File/New Private Window and paste the link to that window.

I would really appreciate if searching in browser history would also have the same [X] button as the default History list next to each search, so I could type something like "big juicy pineapple" in history search and delete all the records that appear.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to figure out why my ComfyUI (local AI image generator) stopped working with Firefox. There were no error messages from ComfyUI, it just failed to load workflow files.

It turns out that it's because Firefox is installed as a snap package and wherever the snap configuration for Firefox lives thinks it knows better than I do what files and directories on my system I can access in Firefox.

I also had this problem with trying to open PDFs in my home directory where I kept getting access denied errors. I tried to solve the problems with the snap version and found several proposed solutions by google search which people claimed worked but did not.

I finally found a web page that described how to uninstall the snap package and install an alternate non-snap version of Firefox, and now everything works like I expect it to.

How do I make sure this snap version does not ever come back?

With Focus privacy settings what is the difference between block cross-site cookies and block 3rd party cookies only? It isn't clear because Mozilla defines these as the same here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/third-party-cookies-firefox-tracking-protection. So what is the different setting?

This seems to be a part of the Tracking protection which is Google's upstream code and linked to a criminal espionage bug of Google's. The code enabling this upstream criminal espionage bug is referenced by Mozilla as the Polaris project. Google was a little careful to not reject my reports of this criminal espionage bug as (intended) but plays incompetent and rejects the bug as (won't fix can't reproduce) although I have reproduced the bug in full documentation multiple times on multiple devices. My report is here https://github.com/users/freedom-foundation/projects/2

Having spent a frustrating weelend being unable to log into Coventry Building Society's online banking app, I 'phoned the this morning to be told they consider Firefox insecure and no longer support its use. The app accepts my username & password, tells me they are going to 'phone me with an access code and then displays "Page not found". Anyone know of any other bank or similar who would believe Firefox to be insecure?

I have online accounts with both drawboard.com and offerup.com. Neither of these websites will finish logging out when I click log out on Firefox. I assume it's a Firefox issue as I do not have the same problem with Safari or Chrome when I've tried. I really don't want to stay logged in to those websites when I'm not using them. On Drawboard, the logout page just gets stuck there and won't change even if I refresh. On Offerup, it doesn't do anything at all.

Been trying to log out of offerup for weeks even with their help desk. Please help, thanks.

Firefox is already my PC browser, I guess that I have had it as my default for over ten years now. Has the new Firefox cookie protection just announced by Mozilla already been added to my Firefox or will that happen at the next auto update? Or is there some action I need to take to download this update to my browser? Thank you
