So. I fired up the computer this morning. A new one, just got it in September. I have used saved passwords for many years. You have to use the primary password (was master password) to get to that file.
Except now I can't. I get a blurry screen with a banner across the top telling me to log in. But when I click on the "log in" button, nothing happens. If I click the X to close that banner, it does close. And there's various links left on the blurred screen. "Learn more", "passwords support", "import passwords from another browser" or "from a file". But none of those links work. Nothing happens when I click them.
When it says "Log in", I don't even know what I'm supposed to log in to. I don't get a chance to give the primary password. Logging onto Mozilla hasn't made a difference.
So now, I don't have access to ANY of my passwords. WTF Firefox? Can anybody help me? Will anybody help me?
I managed to get to my password because I'm on a new laptop and have not discarded the old one yet. But that's hardly a solution - keeping an extra computer around to look up passwords. I have a few passwords which I put in an old fashioned Rolodex. Maybe I better do that for everything.
I'm elderly. I rarely use my computer away from home. I don't want or need this "sync" feature. After all these years, am I going to have to look for a new browser because of this FAIL? Or is there some way out of it? As it stands now, I have no idea how to get into sync, even if I did want it.
Where did this come from? It's totally out of the blue. WTF? Can I get past this problem? How?
