Firefox continues to save passwords in spite of settings
Firefox continues to save passwords for sites I told it not to. In particular, Amazon. It is not in the list of sites to save passwords for but IS in the list of sites to exclude. And yet it continues to save the login and password.
in a previous question concerning sync:
New computer, used 'Sync' to transfer Firefox to new computer. No problem there, congrats. Problem comes into the the new computer now knows all the passwords to sites that I told Firefox to never save. Obviously the first problem is that it somehow knows the passwords and of course that means that Firefox has been saving the passwords somewhere. Firefox is supposed to be big on security, well this is definitely a problem.
No replies to this.
Am I the only one noticing these security problems?
Thanks, Chris

Just dumping the cache seems to have worked (at least for now).
Thanks

Hi, please try a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

then
TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...:
If is your Profile :

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
