....and having excruciating problems!!!

I have an absolutely APPALLING memory! And so have to use a password manager. I had problem very early on with FF's own so was recommended to SXIPPER. Lately it has been behaving stupidly with the worst thing being it suddenly starts to tell me it is "deleting all your passwords!" That would be a total disaster! I aske3d for support, waited about ten days and was rewarded with the message that they area aware of this and are looking into it? Sorry but not good enough for me.

Anyway I was wondering how I switch back on the FF own version?? Do I simply remove Sxipper? As I followed the instructions on the Mozilla site and it told me to go to the Edit menu and look for a tab which quite simply does not exist?? (To re-install FF's own password manager) I am not looking for a recommend you understand as I don't believe that is in the scheme of things (BUT if you have a 100% cast iron rock solid suggestion :) please feel free.....)

So how to get rid of Sxipper and revert to FF's own password manager is it in a nutshell (I am also prone to burbling as well! And I haven't opened a bottle yet.)

Thanks

Chris

From http://www.sxipper.com/faq#uninstall

To uninstall Sxipper go to your Firefox menu and choose Tools | Add-ons. Select Sxipper from the list of extensions and click the "Uninstall" button. After restarting your browser Sxipper will be removed.

Sxipper still uses the Firefox Password Manager, so your passwords are all there. Uninstalling Sxipper will restore the default password manager functionality. See http://www.sxipper.com/faq#wherepassword

Thank you Mr Johnson! I had thought it would be easy but not that simple (Stupid me for not looking a bit more eh?) And did not realise it used FF's own password manager.

Thank you WHOEVER you are!
