29.3.0 on Linux Will Not Make a Master Password

Hi,

29.3.0 on Linux.

It will not make a master password.

Is there a fix?

Thanks

Adding, changing and removing master password all work for me, is there something specific not working?

Linux comes in many distributions and many of them act a little different from one another. The OP needs to state what linux distro he/she is using.
Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox
MX Linux 23.2 (Libretto) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox
Linux Debian 12.5 (Bookworm) Xfce w/ Linux Pale Moon, Linux Waterfox, Linux SeaLion, Linux Firefox

Just more information in general would be good.
What is "will not make a master password" exactly? Pale Moon doesn't generate passwords, so then it becomes a guess. Do they mean setting a previously unset one? Did they not follow the profile migration steps upgrading from an ancient version (which can lead to master password errors)? etc. etc.

Hi, here's detail about it.

I go to Preferences > Security > Passwords,
I try to check Remember Passwords and it will not accept a check mark in the small check box, it stays blank after all attempts to check it.

But next check box Automatically Fill-In Login Details will accept a check.

Then regarding the next check box, the Change Master Password: It will accept a check mark and the "popup" opens, I enter and re enter my PW and click OK, but OK seems greyed out and will not work, but Cancel button works and I cancel out of it.

Please find more info below, Thanks.

Code: Select all

browser.privatebrowsing.autostart
You've set the browser to always run in private browsing mode (do not remember history). That does not allow permanent storage of passwords and won't allow you to set a master password.
Ease up on the privacy settings and you'll be fine.

Also put the stuff you pated in a code block or at least a hide tag so it isn't a huge scrollfest.
