Hi dear Support-Team, I use Firefox to sync passwords and bookmarks. As a student, I have a lot of people around me when I'm at university. I want to have everything synced, but I don't want that everyone, who can get to my pc, can read my passwords(plaintext) over the sync account. (firefox/menu/options/privacy&security/saved_logins...) So I need the master password. With the master password set, I have to type it every time I start Firefox. Because I'm a bit lazy and it is a security issue, if everyone can see me how I type the same password every time, i want to change that.

So my question is, if there is a possibility to get it automatically synced and keep Passwords protected?

Sync can be set up to share all data, or parts of it.

Open sync options; Type about:accounts<enter> in the address bar. [57+] https://accounts.firefox.com/settings

Turn off the Password option. You might also turn off History.

Sync stores the credentials of the Firefox account in the Password Manager (chrome://FirefoxAccounts), so you need to enter the master password when you start Firefox to unlock the password and make it possible for Sync to connect to the Sync server

"about:accounts" doesn't work for me! (and i think that it is not what i want to do.. ..don't want to turn off sync)

That is exactly my problem.  :) So I need a script or something like that, which automatically fills in my master password when I log in, right? There is no setting I can change?

You are not turning it off. You are just choosing what you want to share.

Firefox will not open the Password Manager without the Master Password. You might get a 3rd party program to do that.

-I just want to have everything synced=shared, without any exceptions. -I don't want that anyone can see my passwords.(without the master password)

=Just when I start the browser, I want to automatically allow my Firefox account to bring everything up to date! For every further action, I want to be asked for the master password!

=So there should be a master password exception or auto-fill-in for syncing=sharing(between my Firefoxaccout-devices).

Is there any solution for it? (It should be a easy routine, that hasn't to be made manually at every login)
