Firefox Support Forum

Hello. Recently, it is in the Firefox browser that logins (nicknames) disappear from all pages. From inbox, facebook and others. Previously, if any nickname disappeared, then if you entered it again, it was saved. I'm not talking here about saving the auto-completion of the nickname and password. Only about the nickname (login). I don't want to save passwords on all pages. On google chrome everithing it's ok. Nicknames not disappeared. Only nicknames (logins) are stored there. Until recently, firefox was also preserved. Please fix this issue. I am already tired of writing all the nicknames every time. Again, again and again.

I have a Substack newsletter and am trying to record audio for a voice-over of a post/article. For some strange reason, even though I have it set to Allow that website to have access to my Built-In microphone, I get a pop-up error window "Unable to setup microphone!" when I try to record. It's simply refusing to acknowledge the Permission setting.

What's strange is that I *am* able to record a video and within that video, the audio IS recorded, so Firefox is allowing access to my camera AND my Built-In microphone when recording a video. The url is *exactly* the same for Camera Permissions and Microphone Permissions in Firefox Settings. Weird, right?

It is ONLY when I try to record a voice-over (audio ONLY) that it won't allow me to do so. I have to switch to Safari. I'd like to stay on Firefox and not have to switch back and forth. Any ideas how to fix this? I've cleared my cache, restarted my iMac, removed website from Permissions then put it back on.

Firefox is up-to-date: 111.0.1 (64-bit) MacOS Big Sur Version 11.7.4 (iMac)

Should I uninstall Firefox then re-install it? And, if so, will it keep my Bookmarks, Toolbar sites, info, etc? I read some instructions for Windows PC, but couldn't find anything re: a Mac re-install or "Clean Re-Install" for iMacs. Thanks in advance for any help!

In about:config I have set "geo.enabled" to false. -> www.google.com still displays the content in my language, darn.

I went went back to about:config and marked "only show modified preferences" -> to my surprise not only "geo.enabled 1" was displayed but also "permissions.default.geo 2" (though I never touched that one - so I thought they must be linked somehow)

I was curious and reverted "permissions.default.geo" back to default -> now it is set to "0" -> but "geo.enable" is still on "false" (so I am not sure anymore if they are really linked together - which doesnt make sense to me)

Now I don't know if I should leave "permissions.default.geo" on "2" how I found it, or on "0" which is the default. That's why I come here to ask:

==> What are the three states of "permissions.default.geo [0/1/2]" doing and how is it interacting with "geo.enable"?

Not sure if this is something everyone experiences but every time Firefox updates on my computer, the password manager goes back to default settings and starts prompting to save passwords again. I have disabled the darn thing countless times, but it always comes back alive after the browser restarts after an update. Why does this setting does not persists after an update and stays disabled? I have a Firefox account, and sync is on.

Unable to setup the 2nd factor authentication, I have tried multiple authenticatiors always the same result. "Incorrect two step authentication code"

I have tried with Microsoft auth, Google, and Authy - Same result each time...

What is fire fox? What is it used for? How can we use firfox for our privacy and Security settings? Does firefox provide us with better privacy and security settings or not? And how do we use firefox?

I want to permanently delete my passwords from Mozilla. Mozilla claims there are none stored, but it fills out all registrations independently. No other browser does that.

There is a wave of malware targeting authentication cookies stored on disk (e.g. recent LTT hack). It has become obvious that malware doesn't need to target stored passwords to get access to a site/account. Primary Password has solved this problem, but only for the stored passwords. The stored cookies are just as exposed as the stored passwords were, provide access to sites/accounts and bypass 2FA checks because they bypass normal login protocols.

Primary password should secure the stored cookies as well. When is this going to be implemented?

Thanks!

1. Does Firefox automatically save a NEW session key with each new session? I have Firefox remembering my site passwords. I'm concerned about the prevention of session hijacking.

Thank you.

I already tried this metod (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1221406#search), where i set devtools.selfxss.count to 0 and restart the browser, but still cant paste things in console.

Usually Firefox keep the login info for almost all sites that we need to login! I have a site that i have to login periodically and it requires 3 fields to login! A user name A subscription key (password) and a third which is my VAT number! My Vat number i remember it and that's not a problem! But the other 2 fields i would like Firefox to remember them! I manually registered a login entry for that site but firefox gives me nothing when i enter the site? Any ideas why and how can i solve this problem? Thank you!

I am trying to find my saved passwords, for Google but they aren't showing up in the saved password list. They are somewhere. If I open Gmail, I go straight in without any asking for a password. Same thing with Youtube. Open it up and I'm already logged in. I even purchased something in Youtube without needing any password verification.

But the passwords/usernames are not appearing in the firefox list of saved logins. It just isn't there. Are they saved somewhere else? Or is there a special setting for looking at all login information?

I really REALLY don't want to reset my password yet again and have to change them all across a dozen different devices in three different physical locations.

Where are the google/youtube/google play passwords saved in Firefox? Because they are not under the general list.

I cannot enter the second email address because it keeps telling that that address already exists, yet the settings page says that there is none. and no one has answered any of these postings. so what's the point of all this nonsense? this is pitiful.You guys badmouth chrome yet I've never had a problem like this with them. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for a reply.

My PC failed and I am returning it. My Firefox browser was syned and I have saved sensitive passwords. I can't access the hard drive directly. Is it possible to "de-authorize" the computer remotely so the next time it's turned on it will log out and remove the info automatically?

After the last upgrade, Firefox no longer saves my password information even thought I always click "Save".

In my Privacy & Security - "Logins and Passwords" settings, I have it checked to autofill. I am not using Private Browsing and the only extension I have is DuckDuckGo. I tried to remove that extension and try again, but it still would not save.

What else to check?

I am using Norton Password Manager for all my logins. Trying to figure out how this will affect my Firefox account. I just changed the account password to one randomly generated, but haven't logged out yet as I want to make sure I can get back in. Should I logout on all devices & then log back in with new password?

I subscribe to a website called flat.io. It's a site where I can enter music notation and get playback through emulated instruments.

I want to connect my Yamaha MX88 music keyboard directly to flat.io in order to have the site software record my music keyboard keystrokes instead of entering music notes by hand. flat.io tells that you are compatible, but I need to change settings to allow midi.

I hope you can help me. Thanks, Jim Whited
