• 2 emails with different passwords. Firefox will remember only 1 password at one time - when I log into 'A', it will expel password 'B' and visa versa...

  I have 2 different addresses with 2 different passwords. Firefox will remember only a password at the same time. If I log in 'A', I'll have to go the 'B' password, when I go there. If I log on 'A' and then re - enter 'A' (without first having to access 'B'), Firefox remembers the password, as it should...

• 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.

• 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.

• When I go on a site that requires a connection and automatically logged, I always get invited by the Office security software for master password. New w/Firefox 24.

I can cancel the prompt and it goes, but it should not appear because I am already connected. This problem started to happen after I downloaded Firefox 24 yesterday.

• I need to take my computer at home, I use master password to keep the tech to see or am I better off to remove them?

  My question, he said everything... If I use the master password it will keep a tech 'curious' out of my list of sites/usernames/passwords or should I remove all them after making a copy off the computer so that they do not have access? When the computer is returned I need to go to each site and re-enter the information

Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.

  Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > Security

  Uncheck "Remember passwords for sites". And then click OK.
