I filled up a form with name and surname, no passwords. When coming back to the site days later, just pressing first letter shows my previously typed data. For example, the letter J will show John right away.

Where is this information stored? I looked in "Memory" devtab, it is not there so I presume this is not stored by the website in my PC. Also, I don't see this data in in History.

Where is it?

The List of Cookie exceptions under Security Setting, the ones I want to retain, keeps getting deleted. I select ALLOW for each one. What is causing the list to get deleted?

I am absolutely devastated to find that my saved logins and passwords have all vanished from my account. I just uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox because the sync on my open tabs didn't seem to be working. But now ALL of my passwords are gone and I don't have them anywhere else because I thought I could rely on Firefox.

I'm logged in to my Firefox account but they are all gone.

How can I get them back? Please keep it simple if possible, I have no background in IT.

Thanks so much - feeling a bit desperate here and hoping there's some way to recover them all.

I can't connect to any websites after clicking on a Manual LIbrary webpage that kept me hostage and would open instead of the website I was trying to get to. I thought it was a scam after doing some research on another browser. This Manual Library gave me two options. To decline tracking on everything or to accept. I clicked the two buttons to decline and now I can't access anything. I don't want to delete my history nor my cookies because I have saved a bunch of things but I think my history is now gone. Searching what to do tells me the only way to correct this being able to use Firefox is to not have my history saved but deleted all of the time and get rid of all cookies. I don't want to do this. What to do now?? I have had to download other browsers in order to use the internet.

I have been told by a company who took a payment without me giving them my cad details that they were saved through autofill on firefox and I cant see how to check

Okay so I am trying to use facebook messenger's "audio clip" function, but it says it does not have permissions to do so. I verified that my microphone(on my computers end) is enabled and able to be accessed, but when I go to firefox settings there is no option to allow or block facebook from having access. The Tab is just empty entirely with no option to "add a website" or remove one. I attached a screenshot of the error Im getting and the settings page. I reviewed the page "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-manage-your-camera-and-microphone-permissions" and it shows that the website should be listed and I should be able to choose "allow or block" but the website is clearly not listed. Additionally that page references a button that does not seem to exist in my browser which was referenced as "the permissions icon". That icon is not anywhere on my browser or in the settings.

I attached 3 images that hopefully breakdown what I am trying to describe as its difficult to explain without directly referencing the images.

I'm using Firefox v94.0.2 in private browsing mode (hereafter PB) and can't figure out how to save the "infinate scroll" option in duckduckgo (herafter DDG) while using Firefox private browsing. I know that PB wipes out all cookies when I shut Firefox down. So I tried building a cookie for DDG's options while NOT in PB mode. That works fine both in that session and in subsequent sessions, as long as I don't go back to PB. But when I do go back to PB, the DDG settings revert to some default set, and DDG's "infinate scroll" setting is not set to ON any more. Is there a way I can have PB keep the DDG "infinite scroll" setting? Thanks

Hi.

A few times in Settings I selected History->Never remember history, yet upon reopening the browser the setting was changed to "Use custom settings for history" and "Always use private mode." Why is this happening?

The larger issue is Cached Web Content (CWC), which doesn't completely delete like everything else. No matter the settings to delete everything upon closing or never remember, every time I reopen FF and click Clear Data there is some data in CWC (albeit in kb). I've read many pages and posts here and it's still not clear: A) Why isn't it 0 bytes and B) If a previously visited site can access the CWC, then isn't that a strike against privacy?

Sincerley,

Hank

If you block my add-ons without notification or my permission I will block your browser permanently. FTD was the heartbeat of my internet experience, you may give me the security choice and I will decide but not you. After too many hours of setting up and keeping current you instantly wipe it out, obviously you don't care and we will not put up with your Suckerberg attitude. My many followers are already aware of what you did and now I'm overflooded with response. Fuckoff Firefox............

Couldn't you have given notice of the intended closure of this extension?

Eversync website is presumably now overloaded with subscribers trying to download their bookmarks using other browsers!!!! Madness Who knows how long it will take - totally unnecessary.

So, I come back to my desk and found FF with a new colour scheme, just because, no user interaction needed... Seriously? The drops are filling the glass...

Extra: Missing "rant" on topic selection.

So i own an Android Phone and i use DuckDuckGo search engine on PC. I just got this adversting from duck asking me to install their extension on android. So why is this important, well obviously they directly tell me they know i own an android phone. Otherwise they would have sayd it this way; extension for mobile phones now available, or duckduckgo now available for iphones. The only other possibility would be if this is a new feature that is in general displayed to everyone, but i dont beleve this is the case because an iphone owner wouldnt care about an android extension. This is wired, is it not?

Hi. Starting somewhat recently, Firefox has been getting in the way of me downloading certain PDFs which I know to be fine but which it thinks are insecure or a security hazard. I'd like to disable this security "feature" permanently. How can I do this? Thanks!

I get this when I go to any website, icluding Google, Facebook, etc: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead This is the message I got. It really seems unlikely that, as this message says, there is an issue with Google, Facebook, and the New York Times. Please advise--in simple English, as I am not a techie. THanks

===============

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.washington.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.

If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust www.washington.com because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.

Under 'Settings' then 'Privacy & Security', I have selected 'Never remember history'

I goto the website 'amaincycling.com' and click or mouse over the 'person' icon next to the 'shopping cart'. In the popup menu, left clicking on 'Log in' does nothing.

Then I change the history to 'Use custom settings for history' and on 'Always use private browsing mode' is selected.

restart Firefox

I goto the website 'amaincycling.com' and click or mouse over the 'person' icon next to the 'shopping cart'. In the popup menu, left clicking on 'Log in' does nothing.

With history still 'Use custom settings for history', uncheck the 'Always use private browsing mode' and the three sub-choices are NOT checked: 'Remember browsing and download history', 'Remember search and form history' and 'Clear history when Firefox close' (This is the same function as 'Never remember history')

Firefox restarts

I goto the website 'amaincycling.com' and click or mouse over the 'person' icon next to the 'shopping cart'. In the popup menu, left clicking on 'Log in' and NOW the login page opens! BUT, I check settings and NOW the 'Remember seach and form history' is also checked which I never checked!

For interest, I had all three sub-choices checked: 'Remember browsing and download history', 'Remember search and form history' and 'Clear history when Firefox close' which is the same as 'Never

The main issue is the left clicking not working when using 'Never remember history'. Why?

And why does 'Never remember history' apparently enable private browsing mode? What does private browsing have to do with 'Never remember history'?

I have had this issue on random websites and it has been a pain in the ...

If private browsing mode is going to interfere with websites like this then maybe when 'Never remember history' is selected, then a check box option should be shown to to check whether 'Always use private browsing mode'

This is interesting, Firefox has a feature where clicking in a Password box brings up the option to"Use a securely generated password" option... which is cool, except that for some reason it's not letting me generate a NEW one on this website I'm on, it keeps giving me the exact same password as my old one!

This is problematic because the website won't let me re-use a previously used password when resetting my password!

How do I tell Firefox to generate a brand new securely generated password?

Hello, I need to change my laptop OS from Linux to Windows. Firefox has all my passwords saved somewhere on the hard drive. I made a firefox account last night so the passwords are portable, but before I hand my computer over to have the OS changed, I want to delete the file with all my passwords on it. I've tried searching the computer for the logins or key4 file mentioned on the website, but it says nothing found. Where does that live? Thanks.

I have tried on windows and on linux, and the same thing happens for both. I don't get the plugins i should have. I want to try and enable java, but its not even appearing in the first place. My profile directory is all messed up as well. I don't have a pluginreg.dat, my extensions.sqlite is an extensions.json. I have been reading all the forums but they mention stuff about the files in the profile, but I don't have those files.
