I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi a few weeks ago i had the problem that my firefox-stored-passwords are gone and there are files named logins.json.corrupt and logins.json-1.corrupt to -4 The in dir backup was also corrupt. File length 122 -123 kb all nulls. If i look at the dates first to last, they span two weeks were i didnt notice the problem. PC is always hibernated after work. Except for one which i imported just before from edge at the end of the two week span No problem: logins replaced by external backup as i found here at the forum.

But: How can Firefox produce multiple corrupt files without noticing me? (I have saved them for reference) In that two weeks span logins using firefox passwords obviously worked. (I dont remember the details)

Then some updates and reboots. No problem. But after work i do always hibernation

TODAY: PC didnt survive hibernation. logins and in-dir backup are corrupt again.

What about a) checking better if something is going wrong (obiously you do something because you rename the files for some reason) b) Noticing the user c) And how on earth this can go wrong in the first place.

Now for the obscure: Both times somebody has just before posted something against the greatest President of all time at Fux Nus using this pc. Backdoor possible?

Thanks

Edit: Using Windows, no other problems with storage on the 1TB Samsung ssd

Seems like every time I come here, not only do I have to re-login, but also do the 2-step verification. Is there any way to avoid all this?

I understand the need for security precautions, but my circumstances don't require 2-step verification or the re-login.

Help me recover my passwords to sign in ! I fear that i might have mangled them Myself . I am 83 years old and have several passwords and passkeys tucked away but probably got them messed up while trying to reset my computer that i got from my daughter 6 months ago ! It appears that i have completely messed up the CPU and i really need help! My step daughter who is back in china now Is hard to communicate with. She has the other processor with her. I wish there was some way to get back on line ! Please try and help ! My phone number is [edited phone# from public community support forum] if that can help

I want to send this pc to repair shop and have technicians update it to windows 11. I want to protect my passwords for banking etc. that are saved on this pc. How do I do it so techs do not have access?

I use a custom wallpaper, which has almost no contrast with the login password fields, which are all white, including the text, making them essentially invisible. Is there any way I can change the text color of the login password prompt to black, so it will be clearly visible? I've found nothing on the forums. I'm running Sequoia 15.6.1 on a Mac Mini M4.

A few things are going on since I put Firefox on this Mac, and I'm not sure if they're related:

• I can't import my logins.csv
• any time I try to save a new login, the little blue "password saved" notification pops up, but no passwords are saved
• when I try to pair with my mobile, Firefox won't display the QR code, and instead it's blurred out and says "Pairing unsuccessful. Try Again."
• more recently (last week or so, maybe?) the desktop browser logs me out of my account every day or two

Desktop and mobile are the most recent versions.

My wife and I have email accounts with proton on our previous computer with Windows 10 The new one has windows 11. She can sign in to her email -no problem. I'm told "incorreet credential"! But same one used for years, and still works on "old computer" Many companies use that email. How do T get to it on the new one?

What is the best app to keep passwords and keys across different platforms? Microsoft has been a real pain lately telling me there is a problem with my accounts. I need a program that will keep me from having to change passwords every time. I have multiple emails with Hotmail that keep my personal mail separate from work, and gaming platforms. Plus, there are things that may turn out to be junk, given the sheer number of fishing platforms now available.
