Firefox Community Forum

I have firefox running on my mac desktop, macbook and iphone. Starting yesterday the firefox password manager has stopped working on my desktop - it won't make any suggestions for passwords on web pages. I've been reduced to going to about:prefererences, manage passwords and manually searching for my password. It still works on my macbook and iphone. Any suggestions as to how to debug this?

Hello Firefox helpers!

I save my login details for various websites in Firefox version 144.0.2. Normally, I navigate to the login area of a website, and Firefox suggests the right username and password, and I just have to select the correct username.

For the past few days, I have had to enter my username and password manually to log in. The functionality for saving usernames and passwords is no longer working correctly.

In the settings dialogue some check boxes are greyed out. See attached screenshot.

What is wrong with my firefox?

Best regards Günter

I've just tried to open 2 frequently used sites where my username and password come up automatically, but they are not doing that now. Could you please see that I am still registered for Firefox or did someone place me in another browser without my permission?

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!

The latest update kicked me out of all the web pages I was logged into.

For most of those pages this is a minor inconvenience. For Deviant Art this caused an existential crises. My user name includes uppercase letters. Firefox password manager saved it in all lower case for some odd reason. And to make things even more frustrating, the username and password fields do not seem to recognize the auto fill. By the time I've realized what's going on, DA has locked me out from logging in or even attempting to recover my username and password until I clear the cache for another go... which means having to do the rounds of logging back into my e-mail and other accounts. Hopefully I've fixed the user name entry in the password file...

On the one hand, yes I'm frustrated, on the other, is there some way to fix the DA log in issue?

..and can we please not log people out of webpages when the browser updates? If that's at all possible? 

Heck, I'd settle for an easy way to clear site specific cookies. And it needs to be something I'm not going to have to search for the next time I'm booted out of a finicky website.

Hello! Correctly saved passwords don't work when logging in. I either cut them directly from the login screen and paste them back into the same screen, or I have to type them in manually, and then it works. I've encountered this problem several times now, even on different computers. I can absolutely rule out incorrect password entry. This is a very big problem!

Hi,

the password manager (about:logins) is a very handy feature, i use all the time. However, tehre is so many pages where the FF password manager fails to suggest the correct login user name to fill in the "user" field. (Interestingly, the password fill is much more accurate).

To start with: for logging in on THIS VERY SITE for posting this question, I needed to:

1. manually open the FF logins page
2. enter the url "accounts.firefox.com" for search
3. pick the entry
4. copy the username
5. swithc back window
6. paste and confirm.
7. repeat for password (I think - or came this at least suggest correctly maybe)

What's going wrong? Is my installation broken - or is this for all users the same experience?

Tks

Dashlane not autofilling for a particular site - https://complete-deputy-report.service.gov.uk/login

I asked the following question and was sent to this answer, which does not apply to current versions of Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228045 My question: how do save a username on Firefox for a website without saving a password because I do not want to save the password?

Hello why my firefox installation 1440b6 64 bit on windows 10 do not autocomplete the third field in a form login ..

namely , password and username are correctly filled , but one third field (that in my case are named "company ID") would not, remain empty, i need to enter each time thankyou kind regards klx140

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.

I had a saved login name and password for a web site. Evidently, I had multiple saved login names and passwords. I deleted all of the saved login names and passwords using the passwords tab. But the old ones keep showing up when I try to log in. The owner recently merged with another business and changed the business name. Now my saved logins and passwords no longer work. but when I try to log in, the ones I thought I had deleted from my passwords feature keep sowing up. Too helpful except that they don't work.

The old name is on a tile on my home page - not the list that runs near the top of my home page, but the row of tiles that appears lower down in the page. How can I delete it? I would send you a screenshot of what I am talking about, but only seconds after I take a screenshot it disappears and I can't find it.

My usernames and passwords stopped autofilling even though they are still stored when I check in the Firefox Preferences. I've tried all the troubleshooting tips I saw in the forum like uninstalling and reinstalling the browser application on my Macbook Pro.
