Dear support, I have 2 pcs and I need to enter sync password every time I open Firefox - start notebook. It works fine on the second pc and password is remembered. How to solve it? Because I need to write sync password every time, open all cards etc .. OS - win11 pro, Firefox browser versiono 145.0.2 64bit, no 2FA in firefox. Thank you. Mike Hrubjak.

I receive multiple password requests when using the Firefox browser. Every website, every link change, every everything? How do I turn Firefox's password requirement off?

In version 146.0.1, or perhaps even earlier, I noticed that if you set a Primary Password to log in to the browser, you can reset it and log in simply by clicking the "Cancel" button. This allows you to access all of your user tabs and links. I hadn't noticed this before. It defeats the purpose of setting a Primary Password. I noticed similar issues in the Tor browser, but you can't set a Primary Password there at all, even though the feature is there, and it's built on the Fire Fox engine. Please fix this issue. No buttons should allow you to log in without entering the correct Primary Password.

I created a Primary Password for the Firefox on my Laptop. I must have written it down incorrectly because Laptop Firefox doesn't recognize the Primary Password when enter it.

Since Laptop Firefox doesn't recognize my Primary Password, I am unable to log into any websites *on my Laptop*. Even if I enter the user name & password manually (vs. trying to use the saved passwords), the Laptop Firefox just asks for the Primary Password.

I am able to access my Firefox account on my Desktop PC and my phone. All three of the devices (laptop, phone, desktop) were being synced, but I turned off the sync when this problem began.

I have read on the Mozilla site that if I have forgotten the Primary Password, then I can "reset" it, however this means I will lose all of my user names and passwords.

I have also read that if I have forgotten my *Account Password*, then I can use my Recovery Key to reset it. >>Can I use my Recovery Key to reset the Laptop Firefox *Primary Password* without loss of data?

I found the place to reset the Laptop Primary Password, but did not click it because I was afraid everything would be deleted when I clicked "Reset".

>>If my Recovery Key cannot help me reset the Laptop Primary Passwor, does that mean I will lose the user names/passwords for the entire account across all of my other devices (phone, desktop PC)

>>If I Uninstall/Reinstall the Laptop Firefox App, would that eliminate the Laptop Primary Password requirement? In other words, if I did a fresh reinstall of the Firefox app on my Laptop, & then tried to log into my Laptop Firefox account, would it still ask for Primary Password?

Thank you for reading all of this. Kristin

Hi, I set a primary password so that this is required when I first sign in to Firefox but although the request for the password shows up, I realise I only need to press 'cancel' and firefox is opened.

A week ago I got a BSOD that ruined the settings of most of my extensions and some of the Firefox's settings (at least it erased my custom findbar.matchdiacritics value, but most likely not just that). After that I moved Firefox's folder and re-installed it. Extensions were also reinstalled.

Before that, Firefox would ask the primary password only when I open it or when I try to reveal a password in the password manager. Now it may (or may not) ask the primary password before an autofill or even for no apparent reason. How can I get back the old behavior?

I tried to set signon.masterPasswordReprompt.timeout_ms to 0, but it didn't seems to help.

I have forgotten my Primary Password for Firefox on my PC.

I found the solution to reset it at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-your-primary-password-if-youve-forgotten-it It explains that the stored data will be lost, which is fine. I made a recent backup (~99%).

But it does not say what will happen to connected devices (phone) using sync on the same account.

Will the emptied local storage on PC repopulate the data from the phone? Or will the phone sync with the empty storage on the PAC with as a result an empty storage on the phone as well.

When in browser and signed into account, user is able to copy obscured password information simply by clicking "Copy" in the password manager. User is more familiar with Windows systems and using Firefox browser on that system, which prompts User to input the systems PIN to verify identity.

- I'm used to using Firefox on Windows 10. Recently got a Steam Deck and am trying to relearn Linux as it's been awhile. First thing I downloaded was Firefox so I could easily copy my passwords for VPNs and accounts. Didn't think it would be as easy as clicking "Copy" in the password manager. Is there a way to set up a PIN for a little more added security. I've already created a User Account and it did prompt me once (I think), but with the portability I'd like it to ask for a PIN (shorter than password) or frequently. Thanks

As stated above, recently everytime I want to go to a sign in page on Firefox, a pop up asks me for my Mozilla password. I have to close the box and continue. Pls help!!!

It's been a certain amount of time since I've been waiting for Firefox to fix this major security flaw about the protection of saved password and I haven't seen any upgrade on this aspect. Let me explain : Firefox has the feature of Primary Password where we have to put a password to access the Password manager. Now there is a very big issue with this feature because if I go to any page for which I have saved my password, I just have to select the password and click the eye button to reveal the password, without even needing to put my Primary Password. I know there is a way of just disabling the auto-filling of password but for conveniency purposes it's just better to have a way to select the password. Could there be a way to either ask for the user to enter the Primary Password or implement a way to use the fingerprint to allow the filling of password as it's already the case in other browsers.

My questions are : Is the Firefox team aware of that ? and is there a way to hope that Firefox could finally implement a fingerprint unlock to access sensitive data like passwords ?

I will be purchasing a new desktop PC so that I can change to Windows 11 soon. My concern is that I use firefox to store all my passwords. I will need to use a 3rd party to transfer all my data from my old PC, I do not want them to have access to all of my many passwords. What should I do before I hand over my old PC to them for the upgrade to new PC ? I am old and not a tech savvy bloke, so do not get too technical please.
