Firefox prompts to enter master password while there is no form in the page

I open Firefox and visit: http://twitter.com/astro_paolo
Although there is no form in this page, Firefox prompts me to enter my master password

Thanks cor-el, this was helpful !
Twitter is not playing nice with Firefox master password feature. That's dumb, unsecure and serve no purpose at all. Twitter has bad programming issues.

Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? Is there any way to have a playlist open in a new window?

Is it just me that finds the latest version of iTunes a bit rubbish? I'm used being able to open a playlist in a separate window in order to browse through my music and easily drag and drop tracks into the playlist (in a separate window). It also meant that I could search and play the contents of my main library and just drag and drop into a large space AND easily hit the stop button and instantly hit the pay button to just start a new tune from a new playlist. Now you can only press pause / play / pause and so on. If I want to view the contents of a playlist while listening to another I need to navigate to it which takes me away from what I'm doing in the other. It just makes for a lot of clicking and navigating around the houses when I used to be able to have multiple windows.
I'm an avid music fan and just love organising my music to make finding / listening to my favourites eaiser.
Maybe I'm just a bit thick and not using the software correctly, but it seems that a lot of handy features have been either removed or replaced with inferior ones (at least for me anyway). I appreciate that probably for most generic general music goers this isn't an issue, but for me it is.
A rather long winded way of asking if anybody knows if it's possible to have multi-windows open, but also a chance to have a public moan about a great piece of software that has been updated and gone backwards - a bit like the iPhone google / apple maps situation!

It's not possible.

Leopard asking for password without any reason ?

Hi,
Leopard asked me for user password without any reason. I wasn't installing any software.. just surfing the web.
Furthermore my desktop wasn't working so I relaunched Finder.
Is it kind of virus or is it normal ?
thanks

Unable to upload files using firefox, be it dropbox, gmail or any other websites where we need to attach files. It does not open up a new window to choose file.

all of a sudden im unable to attach files in any of the websites. Im using firefox version 30 and when I click to attach file it does not open up a new window where we can choose the file from my computer. It happens almost in all websites that I use (gmail, dropbox, other websites).
This was not the case before, seem some problem with firefox.. can somebody fix this at the earliest. thanks

hello Balaatmozilla,
please check if this problem appears as well when you try to download a file, does this happen again when you try to download a file?
if so there must be a problem with your HDD controler, to solve this issue follow th steps:
1.Right Click on My Computer, Select Properties
2.Click on Device Manager in Top Left corner
3.expand the IDA/ATI/ATAPI controllers
4.right click on the one which is related to your HDD
5.click on Uninstall
6.Restart
when you restart your windows the OS will try to install the drivers again, if this happens then restart again and check if the problem is solved, if no try to install the HDD drivers and related drivers manually and then restart your machine

I am using firefox 3.6 due to compatibility with roboform.Firefox keeps crashing and when I click a tab opens in a new window don't want that.

This has been occurring for about 2 weeks.I need a version of firefox compatible with roboform.Very irritating that when I click tabs or links opens in a new window.

Firefox 4.0 up through the latest 10.0 version is compatible with Roboform7 or with the '''RoboForm Lite Standalone Extension'''. <br />
http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox - scroll down that page a bit
As far as troubleshooting your Firefox crashes, start with this: <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash
Type '''about:crashes''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
# Middle-Click the hyperlinks to bring up each Crash Report page in a new Tab; each page may take a few minutes to load.
# '''Then copy'n'paste the URL of each of those reports into the message box here.'''
# We'll see if we can help you figure out what is causing those crashes to happen.
If you can't open Firefox or keep it open long enough to get the Crash Report ID's, even in the Firefox Safe Mode - see the section entitled - '''''You can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode:'''''.

When using 6.0 beta and 7.0 beta on my MacBookPro, I am (too) frequently asked for my master password. This doesn't occur in other programs. Do I have some evil code in my Firefox program?

Why I'm asked for my Master Password seems troublesome.

Hello Matt, fellow archaeologist :)
Security updates are essential on any and all software, specially your browser. Mozilla is working to streamline the updating process as much as possible, but you shouldn't neglect your own security for a few seconds of "wasted" time.
I hope you do the best for yourself.

Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Aladdin eToken using the Web browsing with Firefox. Firefox often asked to enter a password eToken. How to turn off the continuous requests?

Aladdin eToken using the Web browsing with Firefox. Firefox often asked to enter a password eToken. How to turn off the continuous requests

I have found a solution.
For all they wont use a etoken to surf.
Go to extras, options then extendet and go to cryptographic module and unload the etoken. To unload the etoken you must selekt etoken not the name of the token.
i have translate the menu names from german to english.

Firefox Asks for Unnecessary Master Password Upon Every Startup

Upon start up, Firefox unnecessarily asks for my master password every time. My home page (Google Finance) does not require a password. This occurs in safe mode as well. This is annoying and time wasting. I have to X-out the master password request window about 10 seconds after I start Firefox. Why does it do this? ... Firefox did not used to do this.

The cited solutions involve either removing the Master Password, or using an add-on which requires an initial password. Neither is a true solution to the problem. If I remove the use of a Master Password and my machine were stolen, then the passwords would be accessible to a thief. So, I do want a Master Password. The question ... and problem ... is this: why does Firefox request a password upon startup when it does not yet need one? And, how can this be turned off? From my memory, it did not used to do that.

Not Prompted to Enter Master Password

I recently set my master password in Firefox 3.6.10, but every time I open Firefox I'm not prompted to enter my master password.
What could be the reason I have not been asked to enter my master password when starting a new browsing session?

See this: <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Protecting+stored+passwords+using+a+master+password
Once per session, when a password is first needed - if you don't have any passwords saved you're probably not going to be asked for the Master Password.

How can I be sure the popups asking for my master password come from the Software Security Device ?

I did setup a master password on my Firefox. I therefore have the Software Security Device asking for my master password now and then as a popup, but I have no way to be sure that the popup is coming from the Software Security Device.
How can I be sure that it's not coming from a website or an extension trying to steal my passwords ?

That message will not be from Mozilla, there are rogue sites that use this method to try to get people to install malware/viruses/trojans. Do not install anything from that site.

After updating to ios 7, I am now asked to enter my password continuously when using outlook web access for my work emails. This didn't happen before, I only had to enter my password once. How can I fix this?

After updating to ios 7, I am now asked to enter my password continuously when accessing my emails on outlook web access. Before I just had to log in and I was able to reply, save emails, etc without re entering my password. How do I fix this?

Similar thing is happening to a relative.
He upgraded his iPhone 5 and lost his iCloud account and all his email accounts. Major pain in the neck for a senior. And it was not a user error...unless you count the fact that he hit the upgrade button.

Why am I constantly being asked to enter my password?

All of a sudden I am being asked to enter my password every few hours. Various applications are asking for it ... Safar, iCloud something or other, calendar agent ... it's getting really annoying and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to STOP IT.
It began after I setup my new iMac and transferred all my info from my "old" iMac. the old one is still being used and IT'S doing it now as well.
help!

Hi DarleenMB,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might try using Keychain First Aid to detect and repair any issues with your keychain that may be causing this (this article applies to most versions of the OS including Mavericks):
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296
If the issue persists I would try resetting your Keychain using Keychain Access as described here:
