How to Set a Password in Mozilla Firefox Browser?

Published in Browser Security 2 mins read

You can't set a password for the entire Mozilla Firefox browser itself. However, you can use the built-in password manager to save and manage passwords for websites you visit. Here's how:

1. Save Passwords Automatically:

  • Open Firefox and visit a website that requires a login.
  • Enter your username and password, then check the "Remember password" box.
  • Click "Sign in" or "Login."
  • Firefox will now automatically fill in your username and password the next time you visit that website.

2. Manually Save Passwords:

  • Go to the website you want to save the password for.
  • Log in as usual.
  • Click the Firefox menu button (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner.
  • Select "Options" (or "Preferences" on macOS).
  • Click on "Privacy & Security" in the left-hand menu.
  • Scroll down to the "Logins and Passwords" section.
  • Click "Saved Logins."
  • Click the "Add" button.
  • Enter the website address, username, and password.
  • Click "Save."

3. View and Edit Saved Passwords:

  • Follow steps 1-5 above.
  • Click on the "Saved Logins" button.
  • You can now view, edit, or delete saved passwords.

4. Master Password:

  • Firefox doesn't offer a master password feature, but it can be enabled using the "Lockwise" extension, which is a separate password manager from Mozilla.

Remember, it's important to use strong and unique passwords for each website and avoid saving passwords for sensitive accounts like banking or email.
