    Logging onto Firefox
    When I try to log onto Firefox, it asks for my password. For the past several weeks, I have had to enter the password three or four times before I can use the browser. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Sounds like you have a Master Password set.
    Best thing would be to remove this

    Tools > Options > Security and Change Master Password.

    Uninstall FireFox... it takes up way too much space lol.Plus if you had IE you wouldn't have that problem.However it is good that you can set up a password.If you really like it though keep it and do the password change like Curlyben said. :) Happy surfing!

    I'm not going to give you a reddie but that is erroneous advice. To anyone who works work with computers Firefox is more secure and less resource intensive than IE.

    To the OP: A browser does not ask for a password, is it a particular page you are going to? Is it your Home page?

    An opinion would be: "I prefer Internet Explorer".
    Bad advice would be: "Uninstall Firefox." What happens to all their Bookmarks and saved passwords for sites? How are you certain that the problem they are facing would not happen in IE?
    Got to be careful.

    Thanks, Curleyben! Your advice did the trick. I was just deciding whether to start using Safari or Chrome instead of Firefox. Now I can put off the decision.
