Firefox 123.0.1 W10 Pro.

Recent refresh of Firefox, suggested by Mozilla, due to some HTTP conflict.

Refresh created a new profile and backed up/saved old profile. Now can not get auto login or auto fill to work. Will not stay logged in when leaving a page.

Can I remove the new profile and use the old one?

Dear Team, I am always facing problems when opening driverpracticaltest.dvsa.gov.uk link. the problem is with both windows and android. whenever I try to open the link it always shows error from website that they have blocked the website for security reasons. I have disable all the add-ons for this website but still get this error every time. Sometime if i do not get error it redirect me to the CAPTCHA verification but CAPTCHA never loads. no matter how many times we reload the website. I have to switch Edge just to open this website. please do something about it. Thank you

I have 2FA completely turned off and login to my Mozilla account works thru the browser window with password and with google single sign on, however when I try and log into my account via the integrated browser account manager thing it does a 2FA step. I can do this but why does it do this if it's TURNED OFF??? and how do we fix this behavior? Oh, and the autofill works on most sites but not on your signin page. Did you guys block password managers from filling in the login fields?

I work with multiple sites that have Dish Network SmartBox systems. These have a user interface that is an unsecured web interface. I connect to them directly with my laptop when I need to change the configurations. Recently, Firefox no longer lets me continue to these unsecured sites. I end up having to use Chrome. What do I need to change to get the option to continue to unsecured web addresses? I attached a picture of how it works in Chrome.

Hey I registered for sync Mozilla. After each lunch I have message windows pass code...Its really irritating me. How to leave passcode (becouse I want to protecs my passcodes manager settings ) and have turned on passcode windows just when I need pass code manager. Please fix it at next updates

I set up a Primary Password, but I can easily get around it by clicking 'cancel' then clicking 'home' icon. then I can get into ANY of the links. For others who have access to my computer NOT having that access is Exactly why I set up Primary password in the first place. Surely there must be a way to fix this???? haas2128@comcast.net Thanks. Tony

I have installed FF on my new laptop and successfully signed in with my email and password. Based on this success, I have reinstalled FF on my desktop where sign in stopped working a year ago. And it still does not work, it keeps asking for master password. I cannot remove the account. The correct password, that works on the laptop fails to work on the desktop. Refreshing FF keeps one thing: the account. FF keeps bugging me about the master password on the desktop. And it does not accept the correct password.

This entire password handling is a great mess on FF.

What to do?

Hi all.

I have a phone, a tablet, a desktop pc and a server all with Firefox installed. I need to sign in to Firefox on another pc, but I can't remember my password. Not sure why as I'm fairly sure I know what it is and I only signed in on my phone 2 months ago. Although maybe that was a qr code?

First question: the 'password' field in the account manager is 18 asterisks long, does that mean my password is actually 18 characters? Or is this just a generic mask? I have seen it work both ways. A clue to the length might jog my memory.

Second question: assuming it's gone for good I can of course reset it. What's the least damaging way to do this? I can think of backing up my bookmarks and then reuploading them, anything else? Will the reset lose all my passwords for other sites such as forums, is there a way to keep these?

Thanks!

When I sign in to my bank, placing the cursor in the username box produces a number of username options, including the actual unsername and other mistyped ones from previous login efforts. I don’t want any unsername prompts. I went to Passwords in Firefox and made sure to remove the bank as a site to retain and offer such information when signing into that account. I continue to receive these username prompts. This doesn’t happen with other accounts. I cannot track down where that username information resides, how to remove it, and how to prevent Firefox from retaining this username information for this bank account.

I'm using Firefox password manager, which syncs passwords on 4 PCs and 1 Android phone that I use. Getting ready to set up Primary Passwords. Once it is set on one PC, what happens when I go to use one of the other ones, where PP is not set yet? Don't need lock outs or other hassles that I see many users struggle with. Thanks!

I am running Firefox ver 123.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10. Unsdersatand that there is built-in support for certain media like common images (JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG). But I go to Menu Bar and select Tools > General > Applications > Content Type and I do not find a media type for JPG, JPEG. Is there a way to add JPG, JPEG Content Type? Actions?

I have zero clue how 150+ of my mother's passwords suddenly appeared in my account. Further, why the hell many of my passwords are now GONE! My mother has not used Firefox in ages and there is ZERO reason her Google Garbage should be anywhere NEAR my Firefox account. I have been using Firefox since my early teens but I will sure as hell jump ship if there is not a damn good explanation and fix for this utter BS!!!!!

I read a few posts and it is all gobbledy gook. Can someone answer y/n to the following is their a SIMPLE way to unblock Free-Sudoku.com which I have been using for years? Is there a simple way to turn off all the security stuff so I don't have to waste hours trying to find a solution? Is there a simple way to ask a question to get a meaningful answer without all the flak that means nothing to an average user? Does anyone at Firefox care about the average guy trying use his browser without unnecessary security lockdowns? If anyone can answer yes to these questions, perhaps you can give me a dumbed down version of the simplified questions. I just want to play sudoku from free-sudoku.com all I get is a lock with a bar through it. on the U'RL box. It just started 3 days ago after years of non-interference. When I click on the lock I don't have an unblock button in the popup. Why does firefox just put one there instead of just an arcane hours long wild goose chase to look for non-solutions. Yeah, I am frustrated over unilateral browser lockdowns.

Periodically I would like to clear cookies, except some. Tripcheck.com saves one's custom camera itineraries in cookies. I would like to avoid deleting them when I clear cookies or when Firefox is closed. Similarly, there are some other websites for which I would like to preserve cookies for.

How can I do that? Does listing them as "allowed" accomplish that? Thanks.

AFTER RESETTING MY MACBOOK PRO I DISCOVERED THAT MY ALL MY PASSWORDS AND EMAIL SAVED TO MY ACCOUNT HAVE BEEN REMOVED/DELETED. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.
