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.

  • Setting master password. Confused.

    People,

    I'll put it out there:
    "Master password"

    I read that it is desirable to have one, for if a person / thing to access your stored passwords.

    Granted.

    If you define a "master password".

    So I load FF and one of my web pages is "pinned" - my g-mail account.

    I also have the 'usage meter"showing me how much of my monthly allowance I used.

    Loading the page of g-mail.
    The netusage doesn't.

    So I RMB on it and say "update its use" and I am asked to enter the "master password", enter it and the gauge is updated.

    But to me, you can ask the question:
    How to load the page g-mail if passwords are locked by the master?

    OK, maybe the cookies, but I just want to put out there coz I'm obviously missing something.

    Thanks in advance.

    Details such as websites to remember you (automatically log you) are stored in a cookie.

    You must either disconnect manually before closing Firefox or disable cookies from Google (Gmail).
    Note that if you leave tabs open that restore the Session can save these cookies as part of the data session, so leave the cookies expire when you close Firefox does not work.

    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.
