Firefox Community Forum

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?

I operate Windows 10 and Widows 11 on two different computers connected with a physical switch to my monitor, keyboard and external drives. On my windows 10 computer Firefox does not populate my ID and password on websites--like it used to. After manually entering this information I am presented with to option to save this information. After choosing that option, Firefox does not save and the next time I access the website I must again enter the information manually. This has become a great inconvenience as most of my passwords have been generated automatically and I must, therefore, reset them.

Works fine when operating with Windows 11.

After many years of using Firefox with Dashlane, all of a sudden it stopped autofilling User names & Passwords. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon, or I'll have to switch to Edge for my browser. I love Firefox so I don't want to have to do this.

The account dwr50@excite.com is no longer active yet firefox keeps trying to use it to log into things like this support area.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 ?

Firefox does a good job of filling in username and password prompts. Occasionally, it doesn't. The sign-in prompt for American Airlines is an example. Go to AA.COM and click on the "Log in" button. The prompt box labeled, "AAdvantage® # or username", is not filled in; but the prompt box labeled, "Password" is recognized and filled in. There must be something about the wording or the HTML used for the first box that obscures the requested information.

Not sure I understand this.... I know all about the saved logins & passwords that I can find under settings and I use that list regularly. But sometimes I have a site that isn't listed in my list. Perhaps it's been a very long time since I used it etc...

But when I click on the user or login field for the site, a list of user names will appear and it's obvious that these are not related to this site. For example I'm on a specific site this morning and I see a list of 6 user names, including my regular email address, another email that I sometimes use, 3 variations of a common user name I use, and a long number.

If I go to the saved password list and search for this site, it isn't listed. If I sort by user name, I can't really search for the usernames that are more common but I can look for the long number and 1 variation of the user name

• Bulleted list item I see the long number and the site it's associated with and it's not this site.
• Bulleted list item I do not see the specific variation of the user name

So....

• Bulleted list item Why does the user name that is a long number appear in a list when I click on the user field at the website when it's associated with another website?
• Bulleted list item Why does a variation of the user name appear in the same list when it is not shown anywhere in the saved password list.

I've seen it happen many times and what's really strange is that on 1 site clicking on the user name field will bring up a list that contains unassociated user names and another website might bring up a different list of unassociated user names! Really strange. Where are these tidbits of information being saved?

I use an online retailer to buy birthday cards and gifts - Moonpig.com. Whenever I choose Paypal as my payment option, it logs me directly into my Paypal account without me entering any details. I have several Paypal accounts and want to choose which one to use. I have no saved payment details on Moonpig's site and having checked, they say that somehow my browser is logging me in automatically. That's Firefox and I want it to stop.

I have no issues with Firefox storing log-in details but I should be able to choose which Paypal account I want to use.

Any thoughts please? UF

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?

The Firefox auto login of a default site feature has become a supreme annoyance. Being insufficiently Firefox savvy to be able to disable this unhelpful feature (in my case). Can someone please help with avoiding or disabling this feature so that the initial site selection is left to the user, other than totally avoiding Firefox which I otherwise find highly functional and enjoyable.

I log in periodically to a specific web site, in which I have an account. Recently, I cancelled (deleted) that account. I also deleted in the Firefox parameters that URL/login/password, and all related cookies. Later, I created a new account on that web site, using Firefox in private mode only, and it works fine. But Firefox prompts, in the login field of that web site, the old account, although for all I know there is no trace of it in the parameters. Not only do I use it in private mode, I also tested using a VPN - just in case the prompt would come from the remote website - and it still prompts that ancient login. Why is that prompt appearing and how do I get rid of it (without affecting all the other websites I use without a problem)? Thanks.

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!

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

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.

Since updating to the new version, the website no longer shows the saved account information. How can I make it appear again every time I open the website and want to log in ? Other sites do not have this problem. Address: https://dinhvi.adsun.vn/ Please help me, thanks
