Is it normal that Firefox is trying to load the dll related to the Windows Credential Manager (vaultcli.dll)

"firefox.exe loaded module vaultcli.dll"

If so, what's the purpose of this interaction?

From the looks of it, Firefox is trying to access locally stored credentials using the Credentials Management API.

I updated nearly all of my passwords on my desktop to firefox-generated passwords. Then I was on Firefox on android, and I needed to login to something, but it was filling in the old password. I pressed "sync" in the app, but that didn't update the password. Then I discovered that for reasons I don't understand, all the new passwords in firefox on my desktop had been overwritten by the old passwords from my phone. How do I recover my passwords? I'm locked out of everything.

Microsoft Websites Sign In with Wrong Account by Default

Any time I try to sign into a Microsoft website with my Microsoft account, it defaults to my school account rather than my personal one. Sometimes I click "sign in" and it brings me to the page for choosing an account to sign into, the only option is my school account, leaving me to choose "sign in with another account" and put my email in manually. Sometimes when I click "sign in" it just automatically logs me into my school account and I have to go back to the sign in button to change. Sometimes it seems to just sign me into my school account automatically.

I made a post on the Microsoft Forum about the topic and was told it was most likely a browser issue. I've looked through my saved passwords but didn't find any clues to the issue, perhaps it's related to cookies? But I haven't much confidence clearing them would solve things as this issue has persisted over full OS reinstallations.

The only place I've actually entered the login information for my school account was signing into Outlook, while my personal account I only logged into manually on... some other Microsoft platform, perhaps the account management page. The password for my personal account is remembered, but the data entry forms never autofill; after I type in the email manually it just instantly signs me in.

Thanks.

Password Manager Does Not Work Properly on Wix

The way the FF browser saves the password only links to the basic URL, users.wix.com. The problem being, it only offers the password options if one the sign up users page, which that URL default to. It will show the drop down menu with your login options. Once selecting login, FF no longer offers any password options, even with a right-click. Wix has a two page login, one with email, then the next with the password. It is like FF does not even recognize that first page properly. Only after manually entering the email, does the password just appear on the second page (if saved).

This is really sloppy functionality. It really stinks if it has been awhile since logging in, and you cannot remember what email was used with the account if several are related. It requires then manually going into setting and looking it up in the passwords section. I have never experienced this problem with other browsers.

It is there any way to get it to work normally with Wix (and possibly other similar two-step logins)?

I frequently use the following site: https://qglobal.pearsonassessments.com/qg/ with my Firefox browser. Last night it would not complete the login process. I tried several different accounts, typed in the information rather than using the auto-fill and also cleared the cache. Multiple attempts. No luck. Then I tried using the browser, Edge, and it completed the login. There was a new update to Firefox in the last couple days. Could that be the problem? I contacted the tech support at the Pearson Assessments and they tried it from their computer, on Firefox, and it worked. But their Firefox was not the most updated version.

Thank you.

On more and more websites passwords are auto-filling, but not the usernames - those now have to be typed in by hand for every login to these sites. This has been happening for a few months now. My Firefox Preferences are set to auto-fill them, and the passwords are saved with the usernames in saved passwords. Are the websites doing this, or is it a problem with Firefox? I'm using Firefox 130.0.1, Mac OS Monterey 12.7.6, Macbook Pro 2021.

I moderate a listserv list and cannot login. I enter my credentials, do the not a robot thing, <rtn> and then it circles around and I'm at the login screen.

I use Edge and it works fine.

Ideas anyone?

This is not the first site I have had a login problem on.

Hello, I was wondering if there's any implementation or plan to implement biometrics I.e Windows Hello, to unlock passwords in lieu of the primary password for Firefox desktop. What I'm envisioning is when I start the browser, instead of entering in my Primary Password, I could unlock that "vault" with a fingerprint reader instead of typing my primary password. I am aware of the functionality to use Windows Hello to lock access to alter/view the passwords, what I'm talking about is unlocking basically the autofill feature that currently requires primary password, much like what already exists on Firefox mobile.

Thunderbird working fine with 3x accounts, but the password for my Hotmail account keeps disappearing/re-appearing. So half the time, Hotmail syncs messages - like the other accounts. Half the time, it won't and prompts me to re-enter the password.... and that does not work. It simply says that the password is wrong. This morning, I searched through some articles and ended up on the PASSWORDS page for Thunderbird. Guess what? There is NO ENTRY password entry for Hotmail at all... ??? So... I HAVE Hotmail listed as an account (along with all of my other emails)... but I do NOT have a password entry for Hotmail. Not "It is incorrect", but literally there is no option for it in the list.

I am completely confused - any help/suggestions welcome :-)

Desktop Mac with Sonoma OS, up-to-date. Not signed into Mozilla. VPN is off. Extensions off. History, Cache and Cookies deleted. Restarted computer. Returned from a 10-day vacation and now I can't access secure banking websites on Firefox 130.0.1 but Chrome works without issue. I don't access banks that often so I can't say with assurance that the problem occurred over the last 10 days.

I use the Firefox Settings, Saved passwords page and click on the website address for the specific site there to ensure the username and password will load. Twice today, different banking institutions, I was unable to login. Continue to receive an error message. One was for Secure Connection Failed ... unable to verify data received from site. Second (different) site was for Web Server Error involving Cloudfare despite my Firefox settings set to use DNS Quad9, not Cloudflare. Currently set to Maximum Protection-Custom-Quad9 which has always functioned before. Have tried to use "Default Protection"and "Increased Protection" with no change in outcome.

If I have to copy and paste my username and password from Firefox to a Chrome site each time, there's no point in continuing to use Firefox.
