Firefox has seriously bummed me out today...
So, for some reason, I “quit” Firefox before leaving my office last night… No big deal, though, right? I mean, I do it all the time when I’m shutting down my computer or I need to “force-quit” in order to resolve a page-crash or something. Well, when I launched Firefox this morning, something strange happened…
The first thing I noticed was that none of my Extensions loaded (and I use quite a few of them). Anyway, that’s not where it ends…
The second thing I checked for were my bookmarks… Nope. Not there. Very sad.
Third, I typed a URL that I use everyday into my address bar… Nada — it didn’t auto-complete what I was typing. No more browser history.
Finally, when I got to a page that requires a login, I found that my login (username and password) was no longer saved… Nor are any or my saved logins: the Password Manager is kaput.
What’s the deal? I have no idea. What I do know is that it sucks. I had all sorts of bookmarks saved for various reasons. I had a large inventory of saved logins in my Password Manager that I will now have to go back and re-create. Now I have to go find and install all of the Extensions that I was using too…
Ugh. For real.

But really, how frustrating! It’s those sorts of things that can make a good day go south in a hurry.
Manage ALL Passwords with One Phrase. When you log on to KeyChain with your Master Pass Phrase you will have instant access to all of your password protected websites. Select your destination from a special list you have created- then simply “Click & Go”. It’s that easy! Each time you visit a site requiring a user name and password KeyChain auto enters this information and logs you in. It even prompts you to add these passwords to the program if you have not already done so. Never manually fill in credit card details again. Online shopping is a snap because KeyChain automatically enters your selected credit card details, Shipping and Billing address and more. All of your data is secured with strong encryption. Only you have access to the sensitive data within KeyChain. All information, including passwords, credit cards and other data, is protected with strong encryption algorithms. The USB flash drive also synchronizes with your host computer to back up your encrypted password list. This is an important feature should your PC crash or fail. You may also utilize the USB flash drive, if desired, for Dual User Authentication. This requires the user to not only enter the Master Pass Phrase, but also to plug the USB flash drive into their computer. Easy to use, backed award winning CyberScrub Customer Support.
