Setting master password. Confused.

  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.

• I'VE UPDATED TO VERSION FIREFOX 13.00.01 BUT NOW FIREFOX EVEN AFTER SETTING MASTER PASSWORD REQUEST PASSWORD WHEN LAUNCHING

  a previous version of firefox work properly and was asking for master password, while starting, but my current version does not ask for password when it is launched

  The password is not used to prevent Firefox to start.
  
  The MP is used to prevent unauthorized access to the name and the password in the password manager.

• 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.

  Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history).

  • : Uncheck the [] "always use the private browsing mode.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

• 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

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?

  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.

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

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  • https://support.Mozilla.com/kb/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-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.
