Firefox: форум сообщества

I just finished making a pimary password and my computer got unplugged before I could sign out I had only fsaaved one passowrod in firefox for a site so far, and I noticed after rvbooting that it got erased. So it wont accept my primary password. I haven't done squat so far so I'm tempted to start over. but WTF? That's a really crappy bug to have. I guess I was just seeing if someone knew something I don't. But I have super low expectations about all this. What garbage. Imagine if I have hella to lose and this happened!

I've just transitioned over from Google Chrome. There, any time I tried to access a saved password, it asked me for my fingerprint (I'm on a Mac). It "cached" my print for a five minute window, so if I access saved passwords during that window, I didn't have to do it again. But after five minutes, I had to do it again.

Although it's annoying, it's my preference because it's a business laptop that I travel with frequently.

Firefox doesn't seem to have the same feature? Some websites says it DOES have the five minute window, but I've tried every combination I can figure out in passwords and can't get that to happen. I tried the primary password, but that only asks for it when I start up Firefox. I want the five minute window.

I searched the forum and seem to be the only person in the world who wants this level of security?!?!

Hi folks, my primary password suddenly stopped working when trying to look at saved passwords today. I've changed it to a new one, needing to type in the old password to do so. That worked, which verifies I had the correct password to begin with.

I then updated the browser to the latest version. When I type in the new password on startup of Firefox it works fine to reopen all the old tabs.

However when I go to look at any of the saved website passwords, the problem reoccurs again. I type in the new password but the box shakes, refusing it.

How can it be that the primary password lets me in fine when starting up Firefox, yet I get the shaking login box when I try to look at any saved website passwords? Surely if the primary password works for one it should work for the other?

Thank you, Shane
