Firefox option "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" always disabled

[Starli0n]

Hi,

I do not know if it is a bug or a feature but the following option is always disabled when starting the debugging:

• Ask to save logins and passwords for websites

Even though, it is enabled in the original profile, it is systematically disabled.

We can see it in the about:config under signon.rememberSignons: False

It is really annoying and it is a no go to use this extension for me as I have to enter my login/password each time I am debugging my website. I wanted to switch from Chrome to Firefox Developer Tool, but for now I will not, except if a workaround exists.

hey @Starli0n Here is a workaround that I'm using for now

           "request": "launch",
           "reAttach": true,
           "url": "http://localhost:4200/",
           "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}/",
           "profile":"Debug_user",
           "keepProfileChanges": true

Here please note the profile and keepProfileChanges.

you can either create a new profile just for debugging by going to about:profiles or use the one that's marked as the default the keepProfileChanges will make sure the passwords you save wont be erased after quitting Adding to it You'll need to set the rememberSignons: false once with you're new profile in debug mode and that's it

Hi @Starli0n, I experienced the same discomfort and it seems to be by design ("keepProfileChanges" doesn't save the setting). What I did is at the following to my launch.json file: "preferences": { "signon.rememberSignons": true }

Btw, the same seems to apply to "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", which needs "browser.link.open_newwindow": 3.

Hope this helps!
