Don't forget about how Lastpass's browser extension messed up their regular expressions to check URLs for their autofill feature and, if you visited a malicious page with that feature enabled, they could harvest your password to any site they wanted.

I had Keefox installed at one point several years ago, but got rid of it for some reason and can't get it running again. There seems to be a Keepass plugin involved, that isn't being installed with the addon, and that I couldn't find separately. Oh well. I'm used to popping Keepass open and manually C&Ping.

Just take the extra minute to configure your auto-type window settings. It works in 90% of the situations.

I've been using Password Safe for awhile, it's made by Bruce Schneier so far it's been a good little offline pssword manager, took me awhile to get used to after using lastpass for so long.

Auto type (cntrl alt a) works fine and when it doesn't, you can hit Perform Autotype from the context menu in Keepass. It's configurable for most types of login window, including ones that use enter + delay like gmail. Also if you use two channel obfuscation, you'll have a bit more protection against keyloggers, if that happens to be a concern, compared to c+p.

I was forced to do a hard reboot on my PC today when the video card refused to wake up properly. When I logged back in to Windows, everything seemed to be behaving normally, except for Firefox. The font rendering is all over the place. Everything is thinner than before, and on some sites it looks like there isn't any antialiasing going on at all. In others, any text with animations applied to it looks aliased until the animation ends. I've reinstalled my graphics drivers and it hasn't made a difference. Any suggestions?

LastPass is a dumpster fire on Linux (half the windows just don't display correctly) so I'm just switching back to pass. The passff extension is only so-so but it doesn't try to shoehorn itself into every possible field like LastPass does.

I'm on 50.0.0.2 and a couple of times a day all of my tabs will just go black. I can still hear audio on a YouTube tab but everything except the tabs themselves and the menu just goes black, for every tab open. I've noticed that disabling hardware acceleration can alleviate this, but it completely ruins font rendering by not anti aliasing anything. I've already checked for updates for my integrated Intel graphics card, no difference. Any ideas?

There seems to be a Keepass plugin involved, that isn't being installed with the addon, and that I couldn't find separately. I've stepped back, tried all the Keepass extensions over the last few days, on Windows & Linux, and arrived at PassiFox as the best one. It works cross platform, as long as you can run keepass v2. You need to add the KeePassHTTP plugin, but this seems well supported, has a GitHub page, and I got it working on Win10 & Fedora 25 in about 10 minutes total. I'm syncing via Dropbox at the moment, as the only decent Keepass app I could find on iOS supports that natively. That's Keepass Touch FWIW. I wish I could keep the Lastpass auto-fill for passwords in iOS Safari (or add it to Firefox) but I can cope. Will cancel my lastpass sub in a week or two if I'm still happy. PassiFox is a little bit broken in FF multi-process right now ( I think the button doesn't show up), but otherwise works fine (I'm playing with Nightly right now).

I second Passifox and I use it only in Linux (Fedora's 23, 24 and now 25). The main drawback for me is that it breaks Firefox Sync seemingly when it feels like it, forcing you to keep logging in to Sync. I'd love for that to be fixed.

Anyone else feel like firefox got a bit laggy with 50.0.2? I've been seeing some brief stuttering here and there, like right after a gif has loaded or when scrolling the forums in general. Sometimes when viewing a youtube video, I'll switch tabs and the video will hang in the new tab for a second. Those sorts of things.

Yeah, and sometimes when I switch tabs I get a blank screen with a rotating loading circle. This is on already viewed tabs/content, and lasts about a second

Firefox was pretty smooth before, but for some reason the update destroyed performance. No idea what might be causing it.

I've seen weird performance issues for the last several versions. Animated gifs hitching as they loop, hiccups while scrolling... the little process gadget I keep open for giggles claims that FF sometimes maxes out a processor core while apparently idling. Suspect it's one or more of my creaky old addons chasing their tails.

51 beta has been a lot more stable for me than 50 was. Maybe whatever they messed up in 50 was fixed in 51?

Aw, man. I only run three extensions (Clearly, FireGestures and uBlock Origin), and it's Clearly that's blocking e10s for me. Clearly's been discontinued and won't be updated, so that's kind of a bummer. I've gone looking for a replacement, but nothing else works as well -- most of the things I've seen can't even stitch a multi-page story together. Anyone have a suggestion? (Clearly reformats web pages so they're easier to read, in case someone's never heard of it.)

Anyone else get the login window being cut off in Firefox? Like you can't see the ok and cancel buttons on it. I mean the dialog pop up when you browse to a site that requires http auth. I thought it was an addon causing this but I tried disabling everything and it persists. loving weird, it started in the last update or so.

I just reinstalled Windows and started a clean Firefox profile, and uBlock Origin is... different. It's like more compact now? I open it from the toolbar icon and no longer see the giant list of exactly what's being blocked or allowed with numbers and lots of red and green. Is there a way I can get that display back? I need to specifically diagnose some specific element blocks.
