I-Firefox ye-Android Community Forum

I found an archived question from last year and from it looks like, the situation has not been resolved. Autofill has not worked for a really long time now. It works fine on my PC but not at all on my Firefox Android app. Is this just something that will not come back? It's frustrating to say the least.

I'm trying to remove over 500 passwords saved in FF, I removed it on PC and it disappeared from all connected Win clients. But I can't remove it from Android - they are still in FF & Lockwise. Tell me then, why sync works between Win clients but Android client ignores deletion of passwords?

Until recently, when I went to a site that I had saved login/pass, the fields would just autopopulate and i hit Login and it worked great. But recently instead of doing that a little "saved logins" popup comes up on the bottom of the screen and i have to click just right on it to get it to populate the fields. the popup will come up if you click on the password field, but then it only populates the password. so it's very persnickity and unintuitive and above all *slow*.

Is there a way to get it back to the much more convenient behavior? i literally switched from chrome to firefox because chrome started doing the same thing. i'm not ever going to have, for example, more than one login to my thermostat, and i don't want to have to struggle.

There is a behavior change for my android installation.

When presented with a login/password web page, I no longer get type-ahead/autofill select option, instead I now only get a key symbol and passwords string.

When I started typing my username, I use to get a marquee with history of matching strings that I could select from, now its just a password/key button

logins and passwords -> autofill is disabled, save logins is "never save"

autofill is enabled.

I'm not particularly looking to autofill, just get back the type-ahead selections and get rid of the password button that replaced it, so I don't have to type my entire username everytime.

Any suggestions?

I'm on android 10 on a Galaxy note 9, and whenever I try to use the payment Autofill feature, it fails. The information from the card is simply not added to the form fields.

It doesn't matter what site is used, nor which card. I have verified that the card information is correctly saved by re-entering both cards. I've tested on multiple sites.

Firefox 129.0 (Build #2016035991), hg-2d113ed75bf0+ GV: 129.0-20240801122119 AS: 129.0

hey team Mozilla,

i'm having a bit of an issue with Password Manager not syncing between my android mobile device and my desktop device.

on desktop, i went through hundreds of accounts. i deleted accounts. i updated password. and i changed emails associated with those accounts (this was in response to recent data breaches that led to my identity being co-opted by fraudsters).

however, none of those updates are carrying over to my Firefox android app.

to trouble shoot, i tried clearing the mobile cache, clearing the mobile data, uninstalling the mobile app, syncing my desktop app, waiting for 8 hours, syncing the desktop app again, reinstalling the mobile app, logging back in.... but for some reason, the mobile app continues to remember all of my old and out-of-date passwords.

do you have any advice?

When I fill out and submit a form on Firefox for Android, the data doesn't appear as suggestions the next time I fill out the form. However, it works well on the desktop version, where I get suggestions like my first name.

When I go to sites where I have a login/password saved, it no longer prefills them, but brings up a popup of "suggested logins" which, to be blunt, is very finicky about where the focus is and where you click on it.

It was so great when it just prefilled the login. For example, for my thermostat control site. I'm never, ever going to need multiple logins for it. Or for most sites. It would be so much better if it returned to the previous behavior, or if I could make it do so.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I just switched over from Chrome and am setting up my browser, and it seems I cannot select my country for an Address in Autofill? Wtf is that about? I'm an American who lives in Australia (dunno if it matters but I use US English) and my residence is in Australia. But the only two countries selectable are US & Canada... As if there are no other countries out there in the world where people live. How do I fix this? It's incredibly frustrating not to have, and makes zero sense to me why it would be a restriction - I have never seen any other use of countries in a form where it is restricted.

I've been deleting my saved passwords in Firefox, after migrating to a standalone password manager. It's been anything but easy (deletions are not synced, and bulk deletion process is inconvenient to say the least).

What worries me is that my "deleted" passwords kept coming back as soon as I enabled Sync, until I realised I had duplicate devices in my Mozilla account control panel. I still have, though, some other connected services (Add-ons, Mozilla Support, Mozilla Monitor...).

Is what I've done enough to ensure they're gone? Where exactly are synced passwords stored, and how can I be sure that they aren't lying around in a Mozilla server, awaiting a future data breach? I don't have the time and energy to change 200+ passwords.

Samsung Galaxy S9 plus.

I mistakenly uninstalled Firefox, then reboored and reinstalled it. How do I recover my saved passwords?

I tried going to the Data folder, but there is only 1 folder there, "export messages", for an app that lets me print out or save existing text messages .

Help!!

I just discovered that the android phone (Samsung A71) I am currently using was in fact still using Lockwise for Auto Fill.

How do I force this old copy of Lockwise to do a final sync before I uninstall it. I do know that at least some of the passwords stored in it are up to date. At this time, I DO NOT have access to a PC. I DO have access to a more recent android phone (Samsung A53 5G) that DOES NOT have Lockwise installed and is using the most up-to-date version of FireFox for Android.

Also is firefox typed out in lowercase or one of these ways: "Firefox" or "FireFox"? I have a habit of camelcasing some computer terms left over from my days as a UNIX Administrator (AT&T Bell Labs versions and not any BSD versions) and want to know the proper way to type it (from the horse's mouth so to speak).

Regards

Recently updated my galaxy s22 to android 14. Now Firefox does not suggest logins correctly for any sites. It knows that there is a saved login but the suggested option is 'purpled' out and no values are provided. Also when I navigate to settings it does not present the option to view any logins.
