Firefox wouldn't open on my MacBook Air--it wanted a password for access but no password was ever set up for that computer.

When trying to open Firefox, it asked for a password--it hasn't done this before. No password was ever set up for my wife on this computer. She enters her password to open the computer from sleep but that does not work and Firefox just bounces in the dock. There is no message asking if the password needs to be reset, the icon just bounces. There was a message from the Apple settings about Firefox running in the background. Restarting did not work after several tries and Firefox worked under my identity. We decided to shut down the computer and I logged out and then went to my wife's identity to shut down but decided to try Firefox one more time and it worked. That's great, but I want a better understanding of what happened so I am prepared if it happens again.

a Firebox forced update in the middle of a meeting failed. Somehow during reloading the new update, it failed and offered me to reset to default, which lost all my saved setups and URLs. It then offered me a last saved setup, but required a password which I cannot remember having setup

I have saved on paper (!) my Mozilla and Firefox password but it is not recognised when I try to get passwords saved for sites in P&S To get P&S to fill in a password I have saved with firefox, it requests a password and I can't find a way to reset my password or if even the one I have saved is the right one. I assume that password must be saved by firefox because it automatically signed me in to this site...but I'm being blocked out of my sites because of this.

Hello everyone. I am getting beyond fed up of Firefox wanting me to put in my master password on every website I visit. The other annoyance as well, when I press cancel the prompt asked me again and does this ALOT. I will go on R6 tracker and it will want me to put in my master password for my password, I press cancel, it will ask me again, again to the point I have to press cancel sometimes around 12-15 times and then lock up my browser and when I check Mozilla will be open 2x tabs one with R6 tracker and one with master prompt.. I thought Mozilla was suppose to keep me safe but its wanting me to give any site my passwords out, hence defeating the purpose, yes? It reminds me of my bank, spend £400 on hardware and no issues and then spend £600 later with no issues, soon as I spent 80p on a keyring, my bank goes into melt down and locks my account up.. daft aint it?.
