• 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

When you get the rear PC, just put your old profile back. You can read back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox for instructions on how to do it.

• Forgot master password sso - sso db to remove and reinstall

  I forgot my password for sso vcenter 5.1. now I can not upgrade to another version. I can completely remove sso, remove the sso database and reinstall sso from beginning?

  This will allow me to create a new master password?

  Yes, it will ask old master password because you point the old database. I would say one thing if you re - install SSO and point back to the old data base this scenerio is not supported. It might work but not recommended. In fact if you uninstall the SSO should thus remove the database schema. Sometimes, it does not remove due to some problems like network or something.

  I was trying to say just to sso 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade, then it won't ask of master password.

• Tor Browser won't let me set master password

  Tor Browser won't let me set master password

  Thank you FredMcD for your time and effort. I spent all morning going through the number of entries in the link you provided. Unfortunately, none of them could solve the problem--directly.

  However...

  I learned so much about all the obscure and esoteric settings available and how to handle that I was able to synthesize a solution intuitively:

  • First of all, I carefully removed all traces of Tor with an advanced uninstaller.
  • After reinstalling, the browser made his usual routine of Premiere and opened.
  • An information bar first time upward offered access to privacy and security.
  • I AGREED and unchecked the first box (disabling Private Browsing).
  • The program itself given running and I was able to set my master password.

  Private browsing, but also permanent Private Browsing, can be manipulated, turn it back on, then back to the convenience of the user, according to the needs of any particular situation. Note, however, that, under any form of PB, storage and use of password is removed.

  Note that I did all the steps above (and many other things) throughout my diagnosis, but only AFTER I had already started using the browser (by playing and by checking the various options), which I think automatically some of my preferences of profile defined until I could do it manually. Alternatively, it could be a bad installation in the first place (questionable), or a combination of these factors. Whatever it is, it worked.

  Regarding support in Mozilla, I am impressed by the volume and diversity of the information contained here, as well as the good Samaritans like you caring nature. However, almost all the documents that I have met is Firefox/Thunderbird-centric.

  A search for Tor showed very little data and nothing similar to my case. By its very nature, a software like Tor would naturally by default an option like private browsing. But how many people know that it kills so the ability to use passwords? Even if the Tor Project is based on the Mozilla engine, I think that the people who run the project should be implemented their own support system or lend a hand here and may not return the ball to well-intentioned donors like you and your employees.

  But in any case - problem solved, thanks to you and those who, as lend you time and advice to a complete stranger.

  Now all I have to do is to find extra time to monitor these pages so that maybe, someday, I can return the favor.

• Cannot access my Thunderbird because of master password

  So I put a master password on my account and then now I can not connect to it because I forgot. I don't want to have to switch back to Outlook and really want to continue to use Thunderbird. I tried various solutions on the support forums, for example by changing the expression in tools, hit Cancel a couple of times but nothing. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, deleted the AppData folder and reinstalled and still it still invites me to enter the password. Thunderbird doesn't even come to the top in the background, just the prompt to enter the master password.

  Is someone can you please tell me what I can do to fix this?
