The RoboForm extension will no longer include a full static toolbar above the content pane of Firefox. Message that reads ("Click this button to show RoboForm commands") with a vertical menu, similar to how Roboform works in Chrome. Will no longer be allowed, though technically Mozilla has been implementing It seems that Mozilla has decided to fully embrace the use of WebExtensions starting with Firefox version 57 due out in the fall. ![]() Frankly, I think this is horrible in terms of usability. The only solution at the moment (should you wish to continue using the toolbar) appears to be to roll back to the previous version of Roboform 8.3.5. But that, of course, only delays the inevitable. I had been putting off the update for the last week or so because I've been so busy Anyway, I thought you might want to hang on to this information since the question may come rolling in soon. I've just installed the latest version of Roboform today (8.3.7.7) to see what it was like, and you are right - the menu, and even the icons, have changedĪ few months back I was about to ditch Firefox completely, because it was eating ridiculous amounts of RAM - even today it will eat 2.7 GB of RAM on my machine, Remote desktop support, and didn't want any surprises - then you sent me this email. Which then causes Firefox to slow down quite a bit - and so I started looking at ChromeĪs a replacement. My confidence in Roboform, after almost 20 years, is badly shaken.On my toolbar any longer - so I decided to try using Roboform with only the There didn't seem to be any place to fit Roboform That said, I noticed the Roboform layout in Chrome was completely different than what it looked like in Firefox - similar to how you are describing now.Įventually I decided to stick with Firefox because I still use a few extensions that simply aren't available in Chrome.Īt this time I decided to completely remove and reinstall Firefox - and in the process, got rid ofĪ few Firefox extensions (hoping this was going to resolve the Firefox RAM issueīy removing the extensions, it changed my layout of Firefox completely. ![]() That and their new way of showing all your passcards in the browser, rather than through the external app, maybe it's safe I didn't dive too deep, but if they are doing it all in the browser it seems like other plugins could get that data - maybe not the password but everything else. I have to exit and re-open the editor on every bulk change. If I try to operate on the originals it says they are not found. When I drag large numbers of items in the editor to regroup them it makes the move, but doesn't update the tree to show the source items as moved.It's very confusing, mostly because usually it's implying I have changed my password recently, which I haven't. What the hell is with the new confusing interface where it shows you multiple options when you try to choose the passcard to use, it has options for password you most recently used, previous password or something, etc.I thought maybe it was like a temp passcard it made to see if I made any edits, but I've seen it persist, it doesn't seem to be temporary. it doesn't seem to do this 100% of the time for all sites. If I log in to a site like eBay, for which I already have a passcard, I notice that it creates a new eBay passcard as though I'd not already saved one. It now seems to regularly generate needless duplicate passcards.Something about that particular site, perhaps. I redid it just to see if i had done something stupid. If I hadn't been paranoid and checking to see what it did I wouldn't have known, and would have been locked out. I update my password on a site and RoboForm saved the wrong password to the passcard - not the one I just set.With what? Asks me if I want to Undo the change? That's worrying, when I don't know what it has changed. ![]() Many times now (since recent RoboForm updates) when I just log in to a site that I've been to before, didn't change anything, RoboForm tells me it's updated the passcard.A few problems I've been having lately (since recent RoboForm updates):
