I need help getting my security password for firerfox
My son and I came up with a master security password for firefox security panel. I put password in the box confirmed password with firefox system, and then moved on. I logged out of my computer after about four hours latter. When I logged back in to my computer system the password was not excepted! I don't wont to have to erase all my user information on my computer system. Is there any way firefox or mozilla can help me to retrieve my password from firefox system. Can you please help me with my problem.

You may have had Caps lock switch on.
Did you try that?
I assume that you mean the master password to encrypt (protect) the passwords in the password manager.
You can reset the master password, but you lose all currently saved passwords if you do that.
