Password Protect in Wordpress.Org does not secure in Firefox

more options

I have created a page (https://wp.me/s20nYT-dustind) with a password protect, in July 2022. The password box appears in both Chrome and Edge on a PC, and Safari on an iPhone, but the page opens without a password in Firefox.

Any help that anyone can provide is appreciated beyond expression. Thank you in advance.

Thank you both very much. I must have inadvertently logged in with Firefox and that is why I was not seeing the prompt. Have a wonderful day!!

No idea where to check those. Can you offer some direction? Thank you.

For me it says:

"This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:"

If you do not see that, perhaps the site recognizes that you've entered the password previously. You could try clearing the cookies Firefox has saved for the page. One method would be:

While viewing the page, press Shift+F9 to open the Storage Inspector. Firefox should list one or more cookies. (I only see the general session cookie.) To clear one or more cookies, right-click a cookie to get a list of options.

After clearing one or more cookies, reload the page to see whether the site presents the "protected" message now.
