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.
