    New FF - passwords

    Hi:

    If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

    Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help


    • Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,
    MM

    Excel itself set password to file

    Sorry, but Excel doesn't just password protect itself. It takes active confirmation steps to accomplish this. Not saying the file isn't password protected, just saying someone "had" to setup a password.

    And yes, I'm currently using Office 365.

    How Set up password on files

    Excel itself set password to file

    No.

    Please post a screenshot of Excel asking for a password for that file.
    - The cause must be either that the user set the password or there is a very, very strange form of file corruption taking place.
    - I have heard of scripts for scanning computers to list password-protected files. Perhaps running one of these would confirm / reject the notion that a real password has been set???
    - Is there any VBA in that Excel file? Any reference to .Protect in it [such as ActiveWorkbook.Protect]?
