Hi i have install firefox extension but if i reopen the browser every time ask me to unlock the vaults, is possible to unlock automacally?

Thanks

Not possible, if this is what you're describing:

Do you mean that between browser/computer restarts, that the vault would stay unlocked? If so, that's not possible as it'd require writing the password to browser storage, which would be insecure.

As mentioned above - there's no way to handle this safely right now. I too want this functionality, but not at the cost of exposing primary passwords in plain text, anywhere on a user's computer. See #397 for more details.
