The ability to set a Master Password in Firefox allows you to leave other people use your computer and Mozilla's browser without any worries. When a site having a saved password is loaded, the Master Password is required. This way, you can save countless different passwords in Firefox, and remember only one, the Master Password. Today, I am going to show you how to enable and set this password...
- Open up Firefox, go to the Tools menu, and choose Options.
- Open the Security tab, and check Use a master password.
- In the window that opens, type the new password in the required fields.
- Press OK to apply changes.
