how to turn off, disable, kill the primary password. I want nothing to do with this feature. it is a royal pain. i have tried all the options but no go.

help last chance before i dump firefox!! thanks Buffy Bandley Grammy B

I have set a primary password, and it all works exactly as it should. But, when I first start firefox, if I type too quickly, my keystrokes find their way to the address bar, rather than the primary password entry pop-up. AFAICT this is because the address bar is automatically selected as the focus for typing at firefox startup.

This sometimes means I've put the first few characters of my password into a search. And with search completion, I worry that these characters get either recorded or worse sent over the Internet.

Is there any way to deselect the address bar before I've entered my primary password? I don't want single site browsing or such, just for either my keystrokes to be buffered and sent to the primary password pop-up, or for the keyboard to block until said pop-up appears.

Firefox now requires me to use a passkey to log in to YouTube. I don't have (or want) a passkey. My computer locks up solid, and I have to reboot when I cancel the request for a passkey. I can log in to YouTube on my Samsung S10+ tablet and S25 phone without problems. This problem only occurs on my Windows 10 computer. It is impossible to bypass this issue.

Every few months (not sure if this is "sw update" related), when trying to log onto a any site from an app, I get the message "Unlock firefox".

This quite annoying. It actually went away once but will not go away now.

This seems to be a repetitive problem. The kind no one cares to fix.

I have a Huawei P30 Pro and beta Firefox browser. When I try to view my passwords on Firefox, it brings up a lock screen password prompt. This page requires my password, but the password is not recognized, even though it is correct. The lock screen password works in other situations but not in Firefox

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 I googled and many answers are outdated (2014) ...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

i have the same bug as described in this bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1946121

to put it shortly, after launching firefox, even when it goes to the "new tab", is always prompts for primary password. everytime. it also happens when i just go to a website like twitch. which im already logged into, it doesn't ask me to login on the website and firefox still prompts for primary password.

i am using windows 11, firefox version 138.0.4 (64-bit) my profile is synced with firefox. my windows machine does not have a password to log in. in the bug report they say it's solved with version 136.0.2 but obviously it still happens to me

i would really appreciate help fixing this because it's very frustrating.

According to Firefox Help, "After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords." But since updating to version 136.0 I get asked for my Primary Password even to see my home page. Why is this?

Why do I need to enter the PW every time I start Firefox, even when not accessing the information? This is a ridiculous loss of time. You really want user to migrate to more user friendly browsers?
