Hello,

On some websites the window that allows me to save the password appears and disappears too quickly.

As a result, I can't register my passwords.

I use sync.

Is there a setting in about:config to allow me to extend this display time?

Best Regards

It may be a bug in Firefox on Ubuntu https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1451418

Try to switch ui.popup.disable_autohide to true, it does extend display time forever.

If you have the key icon at the left end of the location/address bar then you can click this icon to save a new password.
