FireFox sucks - It now has nag screens asking what my Master password is every time it starts or changes web sites. I only need the passwords at a log on screen. This browser can not tell the difference. - jbuck406@verizon.net

Are you using Firefox Sync?

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 or otherwise make changes.
