Button to see passwords stored in Firefox browser?

Hallo,
I often use the saved passwords of my Firefox browser to see and sometimes erase the passwords...only everytime I must go to Tools - Options - Safety - saved password. I was arguing if there is a way to insert a link in the toolbar to simplify and speed up this task.
Thank you and hallo to everyone.

Hello
Thats a good question...
I have checked the Firefox Add-ons page but I didnt find such a tool or button. It seems that you have to use the common way.
But there are some Add-ons that shows the password readable letters or there are some Add-ons there you must only enter a master password to use all password.
Check the Firefox Add-ons page if you go to tools > Add-ons and then click on Browse All Add-ons.
Maybe you find a Add-on that you want and if yes post your result. Im interested in it. :)

  • Cl58: How Secure are passwords stored on Firefox

    Without divulging anything to sensitive. How protected are the passwords we have stored on firefox. Thanks!

    The names and passwords are encrypted by a Triple-DES key that is stored in key3.db and a master password adds an additional level to that encryption.
    If you do not use a master password then having access to key3.db and signons.sqlite is sufficient to have access to the encrypted names and passwords.
    So use a strong master password (e.g at least 12 characters) that can't be easily guessed or found via a dictionary lookup or a script then you should be safe.
    Make sure that you remember that master password or all passwords are lost.
    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES - TripleDES (CBC mode)

  • How do I find a password stored in Firefox?

    Fire Fox sometimes fills in a password automatically. Sometimes a repeat is required or I want to know the password. How do I find it?

    Note that details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie.
    You can delete such a cookie to make the website forget about you.
    You can toggle the <b>signon.autofillForms</b> pref to false to prevent Firefox from filling the name and password automatically.
    You need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Where are the authentication passwords stored in Firefox?

    I created a web site which was set up with a password and I have forgotten it.
    When using the URL it requires authentication the field has dots so password must be stored somewhere in Firefox but where?
    Peter

    It is quite possible that this website displays those dots (bullets) as some default place holder if they appear in the password field.
    Does Firefox fill a user name as well?
    You can inspect and manage the saved passwords here:
    *Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"

  • I had to change a password stored in Firefox, and now I cannot get Firefox to remember a new password.

    As stated, I was required to change a password, yet the old password still appeared in the field, so I went into settings and deleted the old one, but now I cannot get Firefox to save the new password. And yes, I have wasted a lot of time attempting the "solutions" on the help sites, but nothing has worked. Thank you for any help.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
    Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

  • Where are passwords stored on Firefox for Android?

    I can find instructions for getting to your saved passwords file on the desktop version, but the Android version has far fewer option in the settings menu. How can you find your saved passwords on the Android app? Thanks!

    Hello,
    There isn't a native manager in Firefox for android, but you can use an addon:

  • How could it be possible to completely restrict other users to view any sites through firefox browser with the help of password ?

    I want complete control of firefox browser for my computer.
    For example:
    There is a similar feature in Internet Explorer which is called 'Content Adviser'.
    To restrict others for viewing sites through Internet Explorer here is what has to be done:
    1. Click to open Internet Explorer.
    2. Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
    3. Click the Content tab, and then, under Content Advisor, do one of the following:
    *Click Enable. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    *If you've previously enabled Content Advisor, click Settings, and then type the supervisor password. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    4. To allow others to view restricted content, click the General tab, and then select the Supervisor can type a password to allow users to view restricted content check box.
    5. To allow others to view unrated content, select the Users can see websites that have no rating check box, and click OK.
    6. If a supervisor password has not previously been set up for Content Advisor, you will be prompted to create one.

  • Since yesterday when I open a new firefox browser , it searches in yahoo instead of google. How can I fix this.. Dont see anything new in the toolbars

    The toolbars appear the same, but when I open a firefox browser and do a search it uses yahoo instead of google. I am not aware of anything I did to cause this

    Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    You can check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to Google.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I see my bookmarks in my Favorites folder but they don't come up when I click on Bookmarks in Firefox browser.

    I have all my bookmarks organized in c:/user/xxxxx/favorites on my PC (Vista Basic Home Premium). When I open the Firefox browser and click on Bookmarks on the Menu bar, only a few show up. How can I sync my bookmarks from my Favorites folder to Firefox browser? I searched the web and can't seem to find the solution to my problem.

    You import the favourites into Firefox and it sets them up within the Firefox Bookmarks Library. From then on you can organise the bookmarks as you wish. If required it is also possible to sync Firefox bookmarks between another device also running Firefox.
    Note Firefox bookmarks are stored in a database file within the Firefox profile. Firefox does not use an HTML favourites file, although it is capable of backing-up favourites as an html File.
    See
    * [[Import Bookmarks from Internet Explorer]]
    *[[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
    *[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
    Note when HTML bookmarks are imported Firefox adds them to any existing bookmarks. (CARE the ordinary backups overwrite anything that is already existing - always manually backup your bookmarks before doing any restore of bookmarks).

  • Is there any possible way to speak to a person about fixing my firefox browser? It will not open and I do not want to lose the information stored there.

    My firefox browser will not open, so I can not try most of the solutions recommended. I do not want to lose stored information such as bookmarks and pass codes so would unstalling and reinstalling cause me to lose that information? I need to speak to a person to help with this, but do not know how to go about it. Should I be contacting Norton or Mozilla?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    :[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • What can you do to access Password options in the Security window if your Firefox browser won't display the options?

    I want to stop and prevent my Firefox browser from saving website passwords, which I understand can be done using the Security window.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings?esab=a&s=passwords&r=1&as=s
    Unfortunately, once opened, the Security window doesn't display the password options check boxes for me even though that's what the support site says the browser should do it. Neither can I get the Security window to extend to display the other potential options, which leads to me think there aren't any other options.
    Any ideas what I can do about this problem? I'm running Mac OS 10.8.5 and Firefox 30.0. Thanks for any advice!

    (The following definitely relevant to Windows, but I'm not sure about Mac)
    Another thing Safe Mode does is ignore the localstore.rdf file, which contains toolbar/window/dialog layout information and sometimes can become corrupted. To eliminate localstore.rdf as a factor, you can rename the file and customize from scratch.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (classic menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste '''about:support''' in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button.
    Leaving that window open, switch back over to Firefox and Exit/Quit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
    Start Firefox up again. Any improvement?

  • Updated Firefox but add-ons download page won't see my Firefox browser even with it set as default.

    I have updated my Firefox browser to current. When attempting to download an add-on, I get the popup screen requesting for me to download Firefox browser. I have redownloaded it 4 times. Still no luck. Firefox is set as default. Add-ons still give me this message: "To install ... and thousands of other Firefox add-ons, get Firefox, a free and open web browser from Mozilla. To learn more about Firefox and how it can make your internet experience better, click the button below."

    Check your user-agent: Help > About Mozilla Firefox.
    Your original user-agent when you posted shows no browser name/version number:
    ''Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 NET_mmhpset''

    See the difference? Yours does not show '''''Firefox/3.6.3''''' or the Build ID. I have seen that '''NET_mmhpset''' on other users who have posted here, but I do not know what it is.
    If you follow the instructions and it keeps changing back, then you have something installed that keeps changing the user-agent.
    Just to be sure:
    -You did right-click on the item <u>below</u> the filter area in about:config and choose Reset?
    -You did restart Firefox after making the change?

    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:

    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
