Speed up Firefox/Waterfox by deleting unused saved passwords

Post by **FlyingPenguin** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 8:54 pm

I was waiting a LONG time for Waterfox (and Firefox before I switched) to bring up a saved login for sites. I finally decided to prune my saved password list which had gotten pretty huge. There were passwords saved in there for sites that no longer exist, and I had a but load of them for clients that I no longer need saved. Several dozen were saved logins for LogMeIn.

All in all I must have deleted 50 or more saved passwords. Then I ran Speedyfox to optimize the Firefox databases. Now the saved passwords for sites pop right up.

So how to you get it to bring up your saved passwords?

Options - > Security I think (on my phone right now). There will be a Show Passwords button. It will show you your saved logins alphabetically by website URL. It will only show you the actual passwords if you have password security off, or you enter your password to unlock the password list.

Thanks for the SpeedyFox tip.
