I have set a master password. However, I am repeatedly asked to input the master password every 30 seconds or so. Why?

I have successfully set a master password. I have the ability to view all my private data including stored passwords.

Yet, I am being continually requested to type in the master password, again and again and again.

Why?

Did you install any extensions that would timeout master password (Master password timeout or Master Password+)?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • Do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
