  Hello DawnC, what you could do in this case is to manually delete the password in your profile folder: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on file/show profile folder and close all firefox windows later. a windows Explorer window should open - delete or rename files named signons.sqlite (and if all other files of text beginning by sign) & signons3.txt - they will be regenerated the next time you start the browser again.

• Use model password master password in Firefox in Android

  I want to store my Firefox passwords on encrypted Android device. Firefox doesn't have that one way to do this - activate 'Master password '. It is guaranteed, but not uncomfortable to use, enter them in each time the master password via the keyboard is too busy.

  Will be good if Firefox for Android can accept the password of motif (Pattern Lock in Android) as master password and open password storage via fast draw model on the screen through finger instead of typing the password via the keyboard.

  I understand that it is less safe this chic symbol password, but will be much better that store passwords without encryption and very comfortable to use.

  What do you think about this? You can add this feature in future versions?

• I've never set up a master password for firefox. Somehow the browser locked mode, now and request a master password. How can I get it to unlock?

  There is no URL line, that anything can be taken.

  Also, I have reinstalled the program as well. No change. Always default to a request for a password THAT I HAVE EVER CREATED.

  Full disclosure: I reached to reconnect cable and pressed my chest against my keyboard while the computer was in mode 'sleep', with Firefox running in background. When I was in, the browser has been locked. I tried all the passwords I know and use. No luck. Following addy won't charge, even if the entry on the home page.

  Please enter the master password for the software security device.

  Help! Thank you!

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• security breach critical firefox? does not require master password

  I put with a master password in firefox. When I start the computer and firefox, it opens the browser to the way I saved him when I stopped. This includes the sites that require passwords. They all open with no password request. Then randomly at a time later asked me the master password. Shouldn't it ask the password first, before opening protected sites?

  It's a little complicated.

  If you allow sites to set persistent cookies to keep you logged between sessions, Firefox never needs to use your password saved; you are already on each visit to both Firefox keeps the cookie (weeks, months or years depending on what the site specified).

  Alternatively, if you limit the sites to the definition of session cookies, after you close Firefox, these cookies are normally deleted. But there is an exception for the windows and tabs you left pending.

  When you restore a previous session, Firefox reverts this session cookies, including those you kept connected sites. Secure sites (HTTPS) are treated differently depending on when you restore your session:

  • When Firefox is set to start automatically with windows and tabs: secure session cookies are maintained and restored. Your registered username is unnecessary and not used.
  • When Firefox is set to start at the top with a home page, and you have the ability to restore your previous session manually: secure session cookies are ignored. You will need to identify yourself again.

  So, if (1) allow you sites to set persistent cookies, or (2) have set to restore your previous session of Firefox, and you do not close the session, it would be normal that no logon is required when revisiting the secured sites.

  To make sure that this does not happen, you have a few different options:

  (1) use only session cookies AND change some hidden settings to ensure that they are not saved when your session is restored; or

  (2) delete all cookies at the stop.

  I can list for those steps if you are interested.

  Setting a master password in Firefox is helpful if your share your computer with others. We'll explain how it works.
  

  I'm just suggesting that these fields could be used to include a few tip to help you remember the password. If you choose there password and the indicator carefully, it could be relatively safe. And certainly better than to write the password openly on a post in a newspaper or in a regular computer paper.

• Why does not the meter of the quality of one of my choices of master password, regardless how I mix letters, numbers and non-alphanumeriques characters?

  I tried to create a master password, but it couldn't be done because the quality meter never accepted none of my passwords, even if I used a mixture of very complicated letters, numbers and special characters as well.

  There is no requirement when setting master password in Firefox. The password quality indicator is purely informative.

  If you try to fill the bar all the way, that's unlikely, unless you create a long password, or a mixture very complex of special characters, upper and lower case letters and numbers. Don't forget the password should be easy to remember and typed in, time after time. A highly secure password that is easily misspelled or forgotten is of no use.

• Disable the master password popup

  Hi, this has always been a problem with FF. I share my PC. My partner has a master password. I don't. However whenever I use Firefox asks me the master password, and this repeats (times) everytime I open a tab for a site on which a defined password there. I have my own accounts and know my passwords. I don't want a master password and do not want to access its accounts. How can I cancel the application of the MP and just use firefox withouth the face with that annoying Member pop - up every few minutes! Its driving me crazy. Please save me. Thank you

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  == to always

  The only way to avoid the pop-up master password if you use two (all) the same profile is to disable the password manager.

  You must create a separate profile for each of you.

  If you need to have several open profiles at the same time then start the following instances with the - no - remote line switch.
  You can send links from other programs to an instance of Firefox is launched with a - no.-remote, you must drag the links in a Firefox window in such cases.

• Why do I see all of my passwords without the master-password with database synchronized with the PC who lit master-password?

  I use Firefox with Firefox Sync on different PCs and master password is set early when I started to use Firefox.

  Today, I installed Firefox for Android, allowed in Firefox Sync, open the Connections tab, "Show password" button waiting for my master password entry form and... I saw my password. And all the others.

  The password has never been typed on the keyboard of the Android. Firefox has never been installed on the phone before. How is that possible? Firefox stores my master-password in the web? It is very very bad. Now, those who steal my sync account can see all my passwords even without the master-password.

  Firefox for Android has no knowledge of the master password set up on your desktop Firefox. By pressing the button display the password displays the passwords.

  If you don't want to use a master password in Firefox for Android, you can implement that. Click the 3 menu point in the upper right corner, select settings, select privacy, select password main use and then choose a password.

  Passwords are encrypted before sending them to the service using your password synchronization Sync Mozilla's. The only data that Mozilla's Sync is fully encrypted and Mozilla or another party cannot decipher. When you connect to the synchronization of the encrypted passwords are downloaded and decrypted locally.

  If you want the details there is a ton of documentation to https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server#firefox-accounts-server follow the links several first for depth in explanation of the service.

• serious bug in master password

  If I click on Cancel twice instead of my master password, I can use Thunderbird in any case.
  This is a serious bug that I believe.
  I use the 31.4.0, win7 sp1 version.
  Thank you.

  It is not a bug. The master password is to protect passwords that you told Thunderbird to remember. It is not meant to protect the profile.

• I use the master password & if I change the passwords on a site, he doesn't want to "change" also does not ask 'to remember' with new usernames/passwords. No one knows how to fix this or add the usernames and passwords on password stored in Firefox pa

  Firefox (I think version 5, maybe 4) does not ask "remember" passwords more or he asked to "change" a password when I did. He asked when I changed my Facebook password and I have to log in every time so I removed my user name and password for FB on the page of "saved the password" of Firefox. When I didn't do this before, he asks "remember" but doesn't work anymore. I use a master password.

• I'm a little worried that since about: config can change almost anything on firefox can someone use to disable my master password.

  So I would like to know if some geek bozo can turn off my master password in all: config.

  No, you cannot disable the master password with about: config.
  You can do this only through the the "Options > Security" and you must enter the current Member.
  If you would reset the MP, then all the passwords saved would be lost.
