by Firefox user 14398247, a year agoIn addition to the sad state described below, this addon blatantly demonstrates Apple's descent into incompetence. Sorry in advance for the caps.
Where do we start? How about with the iCloud verification code you have to type in at the very beginning: They can't even properly design the page where you do that, because 1) if you make a mistake and use backspace it doesn't just delete the last digit you typed, but also SELECTS THE PREVIOUS DIGIT so that you overwrite it too. Yes, according to Apple's "designers", if I want to correct the last digit I also have to retype the digit before that. I mean, what geniuses... And 2) if you make a mistake on the very last digit then YOU FAIL AUTOMATICALLY and get a new code. How about, if you click "submit" without asking me, you silently eat your own failure as a designer instead of deleting everything I've typed? I guess we can't have that, because that'd actually be in good taste.
It's a form with ONE field where you type a total of 6 digits – how much of a moron do you have to be to fail to design THAT? Well, now we know.
But there's more: If you click on a password field and ask it to create a new password, it doesn't simply generate a password and fill it in, no, that'd be too convenient. Instead it throws you away to the Passwords app where you have to fill in everything manually (user name, URL) and then click to create a password AGAIN. Then it STILL doesn't autofill the new password, and you have to copy and paste it manually. At this point I simply disabled the addon.
Install this one if you want a case study in how embarassingly bad Apple has become at designing the simplest of things. I'm frankly embarassed for them.

Slows down both page loading and scrolling to levels where Firefox actively tells me this and suggests stopping the addon. When I click "Stop" the page finally loads. This is ridiculous...
I initially gave it two stars because it could technically fill in passwords, but consistently having to wait 10–15 seconds just to see the rest of the page is honestly not worth more than one star.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ikir, 2 days agoVery handy, i use Firefox as backup browser after Safari and this is useful!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Rune, 2 days ago"The Passwords extension is not currently available on Firefox for Windows. It is available in Chrome and Edge."
There isn't any point in having this on the Firefox add-ons site if you can't even use it.
Will change this review if they make it available again. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20114830, 6 days agorecently, the extension stopped working, it just doesn't substitute the password
- Rated 1 out of 5by GabrielCK, 15 days agowhen apple attempts to herd people away from the things they love, they become an enemy of the FOSS movement. I would rather lose every Apple device and product rather than stop using Firefox. icloud passwords isn't supported on Firefox? Well then it just became another Apple thing that I wont touch.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ian Mitchell, 25 days agoEven though I have excluded saving passwords for certain websites (as listed in the passwords app and adhered to properly in Safari), this extension still (a) asks every time whether to save the password and (b) never gives the option "never for this website". I have attempted to "resync" the extension (both by turning it off and back on, and by deleting and reinstalling) to no avail. Thoroughly disappointing.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13256351, a month agoThe only drawback, it see way to much fields as a password field making it impossible to use search fields. And you can't click away the sugested passwords.
Why not a little button next to the form field? Then i can click it to fill out a password. - Rated 1 out of 5by brxz, 2 months agoShameless artificial incompatibility. it requires you to "enable" autofill with a code every new instance, instead of just once, without any sort of setting or choice to not require that. Also is terribly buggy and will occasionally freeze your entire session. Constantly suggests "Open with safari instead" desperately trying to keep you in their ecosystem. I cannot choose which features on my macbook that I use or don't use because big brother apple will only allow me to use their password manager if I bow down and never deviate from their walled garden.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18932907, 2 months agothis addon is unusable. installing the app leads to a screen that says " the passwords extension is not currently available on firefox for windows".

- Rated 1 out of 5by nailsfromthething, 2 months agoTrash. Works beautifully until the point where Mac OS Passwords automatically autolocks, and then the extension nags you endlessly to unlock it. This happens as often as the vault autolocks - I'm guessing that's 4-8 times an hour. Utter garbage. Uninstalled.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17983685, 2 months agoThis extension slows any website with an open textbox to the point that icloud passwords is unusable in firefox. 0/5.
