Does not record any ID and pwd with Firefox private mode #81

Switch to private mode with FF. go to a site. Fill the pwd field with masterpassword. Log into your account. Go to master password settings. The ID and pwd are not recorded.

Switch to non-private mode then this time the ID and pwd are recorded.

Yes, this is intentional. Masterpassword does not store anything in private mode

I don't understand ID and PWD are not cookies or data to accelerate page loading FF records ID and PWD in private mode

ttyridal commented 2 years ago

You're right, it's not. It's "trace of activity" - just like entries in the browsing history (which Firefox is not making, if private browsing is active)

promeneur commented 2 years ago

Yes but the problem is that also in private mode we need to create account with ID and PWD

promeneur commented 2 years ago

I experimented this:

In private mode, Firefox supplies a password and records the id and pwd.

i close this issue because this is an error
