Hello All, just switched to Firefox and like it a lot. However, one thing I cannot figure out ... how to make it remember log-in email or username, but NOT saving any passwords. I googled and many answers are outdated (2014) ... non made a change anyways. - Unchecked "Delete Cookies when Firefox closes" - Under Passwords: I unchecked "Ask To Save Passwords" - Under Autofill: "Save and Fill Addresses" - Checked - I added my entire mailing address and email in "Save Addresses" - "Save and Fill Payment Methods" - Unchecked - Under History: "Remember Browsing and Download History" and "Remember Search and Form History" ... 

  both checked.

These settings seam to be most logical for what I want but it still does not work. What I'm talking about is, e.g., when I sign in to Amazon I'm expecting to already see my email or at least after typing the first letter. That's how it was in the previous browser. (FYI: required password field/sign-in is replaced by Windows pin)

What am I doing wrong? Please advise.

Thanks

In Windows/Microsoft I would have gotten an answer /several the same day. Here, after two weeks ... nothing! Very poor! Maybe I'm going back to Edge. It works and people care.

krtemp-online, speaking as a Firefox user I am not sure if there is a direct way to store a username without a password in the Firefox password manager.

What some users do is the following. First enter the correct username with a dummy password when signing in to a site, then accept the Firefox prompt that asks you if you want to save these sign in credentials.

From then on, when you sign in to the site Firefox can fill out the login information with the dummy password, which the user then manually overwrites with the correct one.

If Firefox prompts to update the saved (dummy) password with the newly enterd one, then obviously just decline this.

Again, not sure if there is a more direct way to save only the username, but the above will at least provide the same result of allowing the user to save a username without also having to save their real password.
