On Wednesday March 19th from 2PM - 2:15PM PDT (9PM - 9:15PM UTC), we will be performing system maintenance for about 15 minutes, probably less. During that brief maintenance window, the site will be in read-only mode, so users will not be able to login to their accounts or create/modify content.

None of my pw managers are working on Firefox now. They use to. The extensions are in place. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the managers. I have reviewed the settings in Firefox and notice nothing that would stop any of the managers to work. They allow for the email to be populated but the actual passwords will not. And as I said this is the same for any of the password managers I have, i.e., not just one. Should I uninstall Firefox?

Extensions need permission to run in private windows when the browser is in private browsing mode.

Are that Firefox extensions you have installed or external Password Manager that hook into Firefox ? Does this also happen with the built-in Firefox Password Manager ?

The Firefox Password Manager has "Use Saved Login/Password" in the right-click context menu if the login field is recognized.
