Firefox Community Forum

I use Firefox on all my devices. I recently had to replace an hp laptop for water damage. I have a new Chrome book (CB) that's replaced the laptop. I ran into a problem once I installed the Firefox app on the CB. I'm having trouble getting passwords and contacts to sync from my Samsung mobile phone. I was able to get into Firefox on the CB by changing my password. However, I can't get the Samsung device and the CB to sync passwords and contacts. Can you help me with this?

how do I cbange my secondary email to being my primary email for signing in and receiving messages from you. I rarely if ever use the fastmail email account. thanks, Leigh Scheele [edited from public] @gmail.com

I have no way to log in to my google accounts right now. On any google site, if I hit log-in it redirects me to this page:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies. My firefox browser is up to date. I tried disabling ad blocker and cookie auto-delete. Javascript is enabled and I even tried turning on that feature that prevents page redirects. I'm truly at a loss for what to do.

I tried to put in my password for my Gmail account. When I do EMAIL OR PHONE gets laid on top of the email address I use.

This is the SECOND TIME this has happened RECENTLY. And it was taken care of. BUT, NOW IT IS BACK. I NEED the sign in as I am getting ready for a trip.

Recently many sites have (for reasons I cannot fathom) introduced a pre-login form: ie a form that requires a username to be entered before an password text box is provided. This seems to be a trend and it is incredibly annoying.

The issue I have is that FF does not recognise the page/form as a login page and therefore does not provide a list of usernames for the domain in question.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

My usernames and passwords are both saved on firefox. On certain websites, like reddit, the option to autofill only appears when I click on the password box, not the username box, and it only fills out the password. This happens both on windows and android.

I recently refreshed my computer and moved the old profiles folder to the new firefox profiles folder in roaming Folder in Win10 but my passwords wont apear even though logins and key4 are in the folder

My computer suffered from a spammer who bypassed SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes, and Windows 11 Defender. I did not know at first what had happened, having never encountered this.

Once I knew that I would need to take the computer to a repair shop, I removed the log-on so that the repair shop would not need to enter it each time they had to restart. The problem for which I am seeking advice was how to restore the password that one sees when waking a password-protected computer.

I had only done that a few times over a number of years, and thought that it would be simple. I started looking up how to do this, began to encounter all sorts of methods, none of which would work. I finally realized that with the passage of time, the way(s) to do this have changed. Given the plethora of perhaps well-meaning but wrong, expired, etc. methods, I posted on the Windows 11 Forum; quite to my surprise, the only person so far to respond has sent me two links. He admitted that the first was incorrect, so I tried the second, only to find myself bewildered, wondering what that site had to do with what I was asking for.

Earlier today, it seemed to me that I should post here. I have read about the Master Key, which might serve my needs. As I have never used one, and as I store my passwords in KeePass and don't want to change that, would creating one to be used only when logging on, and continuing with KeePass work for me?

Yes, this is somewhat lengthy. My missive is to try to explain what happened, what I have endeavored to accomplish, and post in the hope that I can once again be able to lock my computer. The chance of it being stolen given where we live is slight, but even though my actual log-on password is short, the average thief, so to speak, likely would not figure it out. Having a password serves more for my comfort that anything else.

Thanking you in advance, lest I forget.

Strictly as an aside, the time and effort I have taken so far reminds me of the twenty-seven months involved in my establishing a fire protection district, with perhaps 95% of those efforts being mine. I won that battle, I would like to win this one.

I do have an account to my passwords, history and so on simplify my work with Firefox. I did logon to firefox with a new instance on an Apple computer of a friend with my account. After my session, I did close this account again. Now I found out, that I got all his usernames and passwords. Does he have mine as well?

I have successfully installed Bitdefender Securepass extension on Firefox and enabled it. As far as I know I am not usinf private window but I have no Icon to click on to open

extension as I previously had with Bitdefender Password Manager.

I accidentally told Firefox to autofill a password for a website. I have followed all methods I found on web & in Mozilla support without success., except I don't want to stop or delete ALL autofills. Firefox doesn't show this password as saved (even when I search for it by URL), and the "Saved Logins" section of "passwords & security" [in settings] NO longer exists. I do NOT want to delete all autofills. I also checked my settings for this website, and it is NOT causing the autofill. Please: How do I stop Firefox from autofilling of a password for a SINGLE website? Thank you!

When I log on my Daily Caller account it says I am logged in, but when I go to the comments section I am not logged in and unable to comment. No amount or signing in changes that. When I go to Google Chrome all works fine. What's going on? Why can't I stay signed in to comment on Daily Caller when I use Firefox? Should I just go back to Chrome?
