something like this happened July 16, 2025 and I had to change my password It happened again August 23, 2025 And again Sept. 9, 2025 and I had to change my password Now it's happening again (after I updated the app) and as FF doesn't recognize my old password(s) I can't do things like see an invitation from an old friend because I can't sign in because it doesn't recognize my FF password. I'm on a 2021 iMac 24 inc, M1, 8GB, running Sequoia15.6.1 I'm afraid to update my OS because what if I get blocked out of my email. Apple just suggested I switch email apps. But I've been running Firefox and Yahoo (and several other accounts) for more than 25 years on a dozen or more devices and I don't want to lose that history (this happened to a friend who lost his entire gmail history. Yikes.;)

Why doesn;t Firefox autofill my saved sites and passwords. I cannot find a setting for that. I don't want to go through all my sites to change passwords and don't know if I did would they then work to autofill. bold text

Firefox memorizes userIDs and I do not see an option to stop it from doing so. Is there an option?

Keep in mind that passwords are not limited to the password entry. Every entry in a sign-in process is an opportunity for a password. For example, the answer to "What street did you grow up on?" could be "Beatlejoice". Similarly, the answer to "What was your mother's middle name?" could be "Aardvark". Nonsensical answers to security questions are more secure than truthful answers.

Again, in the interest of security, is there an option to stop firefox from remembering so much?

Been working with Last Pass support with this problem and it appears it is a Firefox problem not Last Pass. In the past when I closed my browser and then reopened it later, I had to enter my credentials to log into Last Pass, that all of sudden changed. Now when I open my browser, the credentials are automatically entered, exposing all of my credentials to someone who merely opens my browser. There are several items that lead to a Firefox problem: 1) I have Last Pass also on MS Edge, it acts correctly; 2) If I log out of Last Pass before closing Firefox, then when I reopen Firefox, I must enter my credentials to log into Last Pass. Firefox seems to be "remembering" the status of Last Pass when I close the browser, then reopen. We (myself and Last Pass support team) know all "boxes" that should be checked in Last Pass are and all that should not be checked are not. I even uninstalled Last Pass, no different. I went to uninstall Firefox, but was recommended to "Refresh" so I did, no help! Using Firefox ver. 149.0.2 (64 bit). I see this problem as a security issue, putting all of my credentials for all websites in jeopardy. At this time it seems my only solution is to change browsers to Edge or Chrome, however, I have been a Firefox fan since almost the beginning of Firefox and don't want to give it up--please help.

Hi,

I am concerned that when I signed into my bank account today, the saved username which is autofilled by Firefox had been changed. The change was subtle -- from uppercase to lowercase letters -- but it wasn't me that changed it. This is a site I log in to often, almost every day.

Of course I am worried that this is some sort of hack.

Hello,

Several sites incorrectly tag their username (and sometimes also password) forms and this prevents firefox's automatic username/password autofil dropdown.

Is there a button or some way to force the autofil to appear? It is a pain in my behind that I have to manually open my passwords in firefox and find the page I am already on and copy/paste these things, just because some websites have strange HTML.

I understand that firefox can't override the HTML of these pages, but there should be some hotkey to force open the autofill dropdown (ideally with some sort of search function or selection based on url). It does also need to have an option to select whether I am pasting username or password.

I have an autofill issue with certain websites. When I go to that website, the search feature automatically fills in with my password. Obviously, I don't want my password publicly showing up on the site. I have deleted history, cookies, cache, etc...but for whatever reason when I go to this specific website my password will automatically be showing up in the search feature. How do I get rid of this?

Thank you to anyone that helps.

I had a saved login name and password for a web site. Evidently, I had multiple saved login names and passwords. I deleted all of the saved login names and passwords using the passwords tab. But the old ones keep showing up when I try to log in. The owner recently merged with another business and changed the business name. Now my saved logins and passwords no longer work. but when I try to log in, the ones I thought I had deleted from my passwords feature keep sowing up. Too helpful except that they don't work.

The old name is on a tile on my home page - not the list that runs near the top of my home page, but the row of tiles that appears lower down in the page. How can I delete it? I would send you a screenshot of what I am talking about, but only seconds after I take a screenshot it disappears and I can't find it.

My bank website asks for pin and password codes but each character option displays the fancy Firefox symbol which I can;t delete. The passwords for the site have never been saved but I can't enter the correct password characters because I can't override the symbol. I'm having to access this bank account on Chrome unfortunately. Most frustrating because the website is not listed in "Saved passwords" so I can't edit it! Thanks Mike Bathgate

Firefox comes up with my business ID "[email 2 removed]@outlook .com" when I try to access my normal email account "[email 1 removed]@msn.com". Have not been able to get around it. Egde however will always access the pena_rudy.... ID.

Hello, I'm really confused about the autofill feature. I've been using this feature for years and noticed that on some website the password field is filled in, but the username is not. I searched the support pages and forum topics, and it seems that is a very common issue. According to what I read, it could be either:

1. The webmaster decided to tell the browser not to fill in the username, but let the password to be filled in.
2. The webpage use some out of standard approach to name the username field, so Firefox is unable to recognize it.

What annoys me is that there's no way to understand if it's the first or the second case, so you just accept it.

It would be very helpful if Firefox could:

1. Provide a way to understand what the real problem is.
2. Add an option to override moronic security approach of the web designer, so the "do-not-fill-in-this-field" property is overridden.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this!
