Firefox Community Forum

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

I asked the following question and was sent to this answer, which does not apply to current versions of Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228045 My question: how do save a username on Firefox for a website without saving a password because I do not want to save the password?

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.

I had a saved login name and password for a web site. Evidently, I had multiple saved login names and passwords. I deleted all of the saved login names and passwords using the passwords tab. But the old ones keep showing up when I try to log in. The owner recently merged with another business and changed the business name. Now my saved logins and passwords no longer work. but when I try to log in, the ones I thought I had deleted from my passwords feature keep sowing up. Too helpful except that they don't work.

The old name is on a tile on my home page - not the list that runs near the top of my home page, but the row of tiles that appears lower down in the page. How can I delete it? I would send you a screenshot of what I am talking about, but only seconds after I take a screenshot it disappears and I can't find it.

I recently got a new machine and loaded it with Linux Mint 21.3 - Cinnamon, FF 142.0 and Bitwarden Version: 2025.8.2 along with the usual cadre of extensions that I use on every other machine I have.

When I first start Firefox, Bitwarden autofill suggestions does not work, autofill from the "Fill" button in Bitwarden does not work and returns an error. The only thing that works is to individually and manually copy the username, paste it, then copy the password and paste it.

If I log out of Reddit and then try to log back in, the autofill suggestions works and the "Fill" button also works.

This is only on Firefox and only on the fresh start of the app. This does not occur on Chrome and I have not tried (and don't want to try) it on Windows.

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

Unable to Log into website after using autofill of credentials. I am able to log in when I manually type in credentials, but not when it is auto-filled. Please help

My bank website asks for pin and password codes but each character option displays the fancy Firefox symbol which I can;t delete. The passwords for the site have never been saved but I can't enter the correct password characters because I can't override the symbol. I'm having to access this bank account on Chrome unfortunately. Most frustrating because the website is not listed in "Saved passwords" so I can't edit it! Thanks Mike Bathgate

How do I remove this annoying box?

And before anyone ask that is not visual glitch, I just censor the text it save, because it is saving my recovery code for my Google account 💀

Anyway how to disable that annoying box? And for good

Firefox Version 139.0.4 (64-bit)

Its been an issue for me for quite a while. Seems to occur for some websites. But it's getting to a point where it feels like every website is encountering this issue.

Firefox does a good job storing password and usernames when creating said username and password. But it will never suggest a username...

A similar topic is, how can I make firefox autofill username for websites?

Every time the browser autofills a password it asks me for my Windows password. I don't want this behavior, as this makes password autofill completely pointless. How do I disable this "feature"?

I am logged in on my Firefox account and have lots of stored passwords. On the Settings page the checkmark next to "Suggest strong password" is checked and so it SHOULD suggest strong passwords. However, I'm just creating a new account on a website and Firefox isn't automatically suggesting a strong password, even when I start typing! How do I get Firefox to suggest a strong password?

On some websites, when logging in, my browser will suggest emails and passwords to log in. How do I turn this off? It's really annoying. It does it in private browsing windows as well. I've already deleted all passwords and disabled the password manager in Firefox, but it still happens for some reason.

I have an autofill issue with certain websites. When I go to that website, the search feature automatically fills in with my password. Obviously, I don't want my password publicly showing up on the site. I have deleted history, cookies, cache, etc...but for whatever reason when I go to this specific website my password will automatically be showing up in the search feature. How do I get rid of this?

Thank you to anyone that helps.

Hello All, just switched to Firefox and like it a lot. However, one thing I cannot figure out ... how to make it remember log-in email or username, but NOT saving any passwords. I googled and many answers are outdated (2014) ... non made a change anyways. - Unchecked "Delete Cookies when Firefox closes" - Under Passwords: I unchecked "Ask To Save Passwords" - Under Autofill: "Save and Fill Addresses" - Checked - I added my entire mailing address and email in "Save Addresses" - "Save and Fill Payment Methods" - Unchecked - Under History: "Remember Browsing and Download History" and "Remember Search and Form History" ...

  both checked.

These settings seam to be most logical for what I want but it still does not work. What I'm talking about is, e.g., when I sign in to Amazon I'm expecting to already see my email or at least after typing the first letter. That's how it was in the previous browser. (FYI: required password field/sign-in is replaced by Windows pin)

What am I doing wrong? Please advise.

Thanks
