My lap top has a finger print reader into which I code all my passwords. When I use Explorer my finger print reader works fine, but when I use Firefox as my browser the finger print reader does not work

Check for an update for that fingerprint software or look for a Firefox specific add-on for that software.

I looked for software and found a suggestion which I down loaded. Now the finger print reader does not work either on Internet Explorer or on Firefox. So I had to do a reset to an early time to get rid of that soft ware. We are back to where I started, with the finger print reader working fine on Explorer 11 and it does not work at all on FireFox. There must be some work around, has this not occurred with other folks.
