Firefox is remembering my passwords but is not displaying them in the sign in spaces. The "remember passwords" box is checked. This is true on all sites. How do I get this to work? Thank you, Scott

Your System Details List shows that you have obsolete, no longer supported, preferences from previous Firefox versions.

You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value or, in case you know which you have changed in the past, reset these prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu on the about:config page or edit the prefs.js file and remove related line(s).

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:


Do you mean that you do not see the bullet placeholder when you enter a password?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
