    Primary (master) password appears to be corrupted

    Perhaps these will sort things out - 1 Act as though you've forgotten it - Reset your Primary Password if you've forgotten it- Firefox Help and then 2 Remove it - Remove Primary Password - Firefox Help If both those steps work then it demonstrates that the corruption does not extend into the rest of Firefox so you can consider setting up a new Primary password. If either step does not work then the corruption extends further into Firefox and I'd think that you'd have to uninstall it then reinstall it. You could search for or ask for help in the Firefox forum - Index page - mozillaZine Forums Best of luck, Denis

    Let's have a poll on "Your primary Windows OS"

    Let's have a poll on Your primary Windows OS:
    • Windows 10
    • Windows 7
    • Windows 8
    • Windows Vista and earlier
    Why "primary Windows OS"? Some of us may have alternative OS'es installed (CentOS for me), some of us may have two or more Windows versions installed concurrently.

    Thank you!

    Change primary alias

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply,

    As per description, when you click to change the primary on nothing happens.

    Have you tried to perform the troubleshooting steps provided under section
    Change which alias is primary
    ?

    If you have not performed the troubleshooting steps I would suggest you perform steps under
    Change which alias is primary , from my previous post. Which are as follow.


    Note: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset
    parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.


    Please do let us know if you need further assistance with Windows.
