Since Firefox v.57.0 with Password Editor (Legacy) departed, Tried McAfee SafeKey (UGH!). Any New Password Editor Suggestions?

I was extremely happy with the developer's finesse w/Password Editor (Legacy), bht like other complainants, going bananas w/out it. I have McAfee Security (among others) on-board, so being entitled to a free premium McAfee SafeKey (top online password security stated PC Magazine online review).

OMG! a nightmare! I've lost all my 100+ website passwords, have spent much time with a SafeKey Tech, etc. One cannot self uninstall it, a tech has to have remote access to remove all traces. Long story short, at this point having perused the limited variety available (free) and reviews, seems the only similar to Password Editor by developer, is the original Password Editor w/in Firefox. Question is, how secure is it?

But the primary reason I have posted here, is to ask the community for suggestions as to any known password editors that bear the ease and functionality of the above-mentioned. I await with bated breath! -:)

P.S. Having a problem with Firefox intermittently "not responding" since a month or two prior to 57.0 install. What to do??

Do not panic, you have choices. I have never had a issue with Firefox Passwords without the manager. will repeat with out the manager. Have read posts only of not getting in and I would not know. People tend to be using Last Pass. Yes have to help them at times to mostly contact Last Pass for help.

Copy/Paste (trust me, as only way to move around in this) Password Editor

Firefox Not Responding....well

Was a issue I think with Mcafee and Firefox, you can check the Mcafee Forum for issues if any still.

Update your Video Card Drivers, very important.

As not being bad you say can start with this and still have issues, there are other solutions : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.2 with a Full Version Installer

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Pkshadow: Your reply to my question(s) are outstanding. The paramount problem I have with the entirety of the assemblage is that (1) I am terrified of instigating major changes; losing files, bookmarks, etc., and (2) to be candid, although I am strong as a PC user, manipulating directives can be a downer for me if I am not familiar what can occur, as I can not imagine the procedural or visual how-to, and (2) in general, deleterious outcomes that I am not qualified to handle. Bottom line, formidable info, but overwhelming to comply with on my own. But O'boy, you are most definitely "The Bomb!"

Here are a couple of examples: I once refreshed Firefox and, OMG, what a mess. Lost irreplaceable files, bookmarks, etc. Next, recently with advent of 57.0 (currently 57.0.2 ) I lost all 100+ Firefox Password Editor websites! I am having McAfee delete the back remnants of the program. the former might have terrific security, but it is problematic and much too complicated and severe to deal with. Great for business, but not a program necessarily needed in my case, home and personal.

If you have further commentary, please, please do not hesitate to do so in depth. I will most definitely secure your received information. All I need now is a mentor! -:)

Hi cor-el:

"You can switch to the Firefox 52.5.2 version if you want to use Legacy extension like Saved Password Editor." (w/attended links)

Please see my reply to Pkshadow. . . that is, I am appreciative of your reply; well received! I am interested, but even though going back to 52.5.2 would be great for a limited period of time, one loses some of the advantages of later version upgrades. So will I am tempted to do it, it would only be a temporary patch so to speak.

However, the clincher is what I commented to Pkshadow earlier, the 100+ websites in Password Editor (Legacy), were in part lost and only a small portion remained to export to McAfee SafeKey, which was a huge mistake because all, every last one, was lost therein. Unbelievable.

Last Pass: Well, if it is as straightforward as Password Editor was, great!

Thanks again. -:)

UPDATE: Following further exceptionally upsetting circumstances wherein True Key never performed correctly for me, amidst troubling conversations with Customer Service and Technicians, plus two remotes, I finally bit the inevitable bullet and totally decapitated McAfee Intel True Key Password! This is not to suggest that my experience replicates others' experiences with it . . . . I have had McAfee Internet Security on-board for approx. 3-years and have no complaints. I just thought it appropriate to put paid to the posting that I initiated herein. Best to All, Be Safe & Healthy in 2018!!

You can check if you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop in case the Refresh feature in Firefox has been used and a new profile has been created.

You can copy files like these with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to recover specific data. Note that you should be cautious with copying SQLite database files if you previously had problems.

  • bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
  • bookmark backups: compressed .jsonlz4 backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
  • cookies.sqlite for the cookies
  • formhistory.sqlite for saved form data
  • logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
  • cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
  • persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
  • permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
  • sessionstore.jsonlz4 for open tabs and pinned tabs

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
