[🐛 Bug]: Firefox suddenly asking me for my 'Primary Password'

[MJB222398]

What happened?

I was on version 4.21.0-20240522 of Firefox node but just upgraded to 4.23.0-20240727. Since upgrading I now see this pop up when I launch Firefox:

Is this expected? What has changed? I assume I can disable this by use of some arguments/profile but I wanted to query it with you guys to see if you were expecting it.

Command used to start Selenium Grid with Docker (or Kubernetes)

# To execute this docker-compose yml file use `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up`
# Add the `-d` flag at the end for detached execution
# To stop the execution, hit Ctrl+C, and then `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml down`

That comes from the new Firefox version (128), and I see you are using a profile. You should check how the latest version affects the profile you use.

[konatarar]

Tuve el mismo problema con firefox (129), lo que hice fue trabajar en base a threads y pyautogui, cree un hilo donde se espera para mover el mouse y añadir la contraseña, dado que en mi caso trabajaba con certificados y si o si lo necesitaba(el primary key que en el fondo era la key de base) y el driver era bloqueante al momento de "crear la pestaña de firefox" entonces mientras no añadias la contraseña no iba a realizar ninguna accion. Espero te ilumine un poco
