• Downloaded Firefox to my computer. He installed a master password and I have no idea what it is. Any suggestions?

  This morning, I downloaded Firefox to my desktop. He asked the master password whenever I have a site where I have to enter my password. I don't know what it could be because I did not have a master password and he asked one during installation. I tried to turn it off, but it does not work because you must enter the password. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do other than go back to Internet Explorer, which I prefer not to do?

  Had never installed before Firefox? If so, your new installation picked a former framework. Otherwise, hmmm, very strange.

  If you do not want Firefox to save connections, you can disable it and that should eliminate the prompt for the password.

  Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > Security

  Uncheck "Remember passwords for sites"

  If you do want Firefox to store connections, you will need to clear the master password. This will remove the connections already registered. The following article has the steps to do this: I forgot my master password. Troubleshooting | Firefox Help.

  Who help me?

• I tried to reset my master password and I was told it has been reset, but nothing was told that it has been reset, which is not good at all.

  I followed the instructions in the HELP section, reset the password. Tried to use the email once again, I was told it is the failure of the connection. I tried two passwords I thought that would work; None of them have. So now, I don't know what is the new master password. I don't even know if I can RECEIVE emails. If someone answers it, you can send the answer to two addresses? Mine is [email protected]. The other, in which case I can not mail there, is [email protected]. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Migrate the site and master passwords and logins for Firefox to light

  To expedite my USB mobile browser, I want Firefox v.30 a light v.30.
  Only now I noticed I still signons3.txt instead of key4.db and cert8.db instead of cert9.db in the Firefox profile.
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20Profile#w_your-important-data-and-their-files Specifies not how to upgrade these versions, or some other answers, for example https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/767061.

  Copy of signons3.txt, signons.sqlite between profiles has not helped get my password or my master password in light.
  Any thoughts why? Because I signons3.txt instead of key4.db, or because I use the master password?

  Note that you can use a CMD or BAT file to set an environment variable temporarily for this start.

  Set NSS_DEFAULT_DB_TYPE = sql
  Start "" "path to Firefox\firefox.exe" PEI

  I noticed that SQLite files are much larger, because likely Firefox uses a minimum size to avoid problems with fragmentation as is done with all files in SQLite.

  Note that Firefox is actually declining many SQLite files and replace them with the files of JSON type (extensions.json, addons.json, search.json, logins.json) to avoid the problems that SQLite gives in some cases and make it easier to keep the database in memory to boost performance.

• I've set up a master password and for some reason its not recognize and cannot enter the e-mail and job site. I tried to delete it, but can not. Help

  I tried to take out additional coverage on the internet with a master password. Unfortunately what I typed to the origin is not excluded or recognized. This causes me a major problem due to one of the sites I use for work being blocked, as well as my original e-mail. How can I solve this problem? I tried to turn it off, but it requires the correct password and it does not work. Don't know what happened or if I typed a wrong typo. Can you help me on your end?

  Firefox master password feature protects your saved passwords. However, even if you are unable to access your saved passwords, you should be able to connect to the site manually (by typing your user name and password). Is that somehow have blocked as well?

  If you have forgotten your master password, you can delete and create a new. However, I think that will also erase all your saved connections and you will save them again. More information on this: reset your master password if you forget.

  If the problem is not with the Firefox built-in password manager but another (add-on, the external program), then steps would be different, but they depend on what you use.

• I changed my email password and Thunderbird does not recognize a new, how do I overcome that?

  I think I've cracked it by disabling the two-step in my account of Microsoft verification, but I want to continue to use, so is it possible with Thunderbird?

  Gmail provides a method of manufacturing step 2 working with customers of e-mail as described above and they tell you how to use it in their gmail help documentation.
  I guess that the Microsoft email also.
  I won't argue with you to contact your provider to find out how to use their step 2 with customers. You seem to already know all.

• Thunderbird 38.0.1 requires the master password to be entered twice after activation of Gmail OAuth

  I have a Gmail (IMAP) and an iCloud (IMAP) TB account protected by a master password. Since the upgrade to to 38.0.1 and the configuration of the acct of Gmail for OAuth I find that when I run the application of TB he invites me for the password twice before that I can move forward. I tried to remove the iCloud acct and then he needed only the password entered once, but as soon as I have readded the iCloud acct invites more twice once for the password. It seems that you must now enter once for each account e-mail instead of after the period. It seems to be triggered by changing the Gmail to OAuth as previously he worked as documented (a single master password entry) with two e-mail accounts.

  In fact, when launching first TB appears very briefly the form of drop down menu of master password and then immediately disappears (before), because then he slide down again to allow the first entry in the master password.

  Good news - updated my Mac to 38.1 TB newly released solved the problem of the Thunderbird menu corrupted when you use StartupMaster 1.6.1.

  Now I can use StartupMaster successfully to bypass the password multiple guest problem (bug #177175) at the launch of Thunderbird.

• Master password, who you are and who asked him?

  I wonder today about master password in my Firefox 15.0 - I allow it for a long time.
  When I visit a site referenced with stored user name and password for the site questioned the master password, but there is no information on the site by name who ask for it in the dialog box. Everything works perfectly with an open site, but if I have several tabs open? I have not now who ask for it. Can I set my Firefox browser to do more to talk about?

  Unfortunately, you can't master password dialog box view more Firefox configuration information. I couldn't find any extension to it. However, there is an extension that ask you your master password to start the browser, that's not embarrassing during your browsing session.

• I want to change password if ex is unable to read the messages without using Master passworde

  Follow-up of your card. Try to change the previous password of xxxxxxxx to something my wife doesn't know. Has been advised to do so because of the coming divorce proceedings. Don't want to punch in a master password everytime I open Thunderberg. Can I change my password and how. I've been here a while try and it does not say how. Thank you

  The master password in Thunderbird protects passwords stored in Thunderbird. It prevents anyone from reading mail already downloaded on your computer.
  FYI: this is a public forum and view passwords lets everyone with your wife know what it is. Not very smart.

• How can I save my password? Forced to set the master password

• 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?

  Andrew, thanks for the info, I filed a bug on this subject: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=993077
