I literally turn it on for Chase and then immediately switch it off when I leave as it causes little authentication related problems elsewhere.*

Well, r3dfox comes with SSUAO (site-specific-user-agent-override) support  , so I bet you can set one just for chase.com and be done with  (i.e., it won't affect other domains/sites) : 

general.useragent.override.chase.com;"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0"

FWIW, "128.0" is the previous ESR version, currently at v128.13.0, which is supported for a month or two more , to be EoS'ed with v128.14.0; it's highly probable by that time that Chase's minimum requirements will get upped to "140.0"  , the current ESR branch (now in v140.1.0) ...

I no longer bother to determine Chase's minimum browser version, as there's very little point, once I find an SSUAO that works. But I used to. It never seemed to make any sense though. It would be just some random version or other that was "somewhat" older than the then-current ESR version for Firefox or Chrome. I always wondered if they chose minimum versions that had patched some specific security flaw they were worried about, but who knows?

Still, the currently supported version should always work, at least as long as you remove the "R3dfox" bit, or any other clues that you aren't using genuine Firefox / Chrome.

Whew!  ESR v140.20 has been released.  Yay!  And the latest release for the mainstream versions is v141.0.3

Hi, sorry but i don't have a github account.

I'm using r3dfox from 10 days now (basically cause the idiocy of discourse team that made all the technical forums i folow unusable with their last "so-called-upgrade") , and have found something that can be a bug, but i'm not sure.

Til yesterday, all was good, today i found that all the passwords i had stored in the r3dfox (around 20 sites) are gone (deleted, disappeared) except one, and i don't know why.

I'm using also firefox, for other sites, on windows 7 pro 64 (not together, i open one or the other based on what site i have to connect), i'm using it from 3 years now, and never lost a password on it, this happened only on r3dfox. (and no, ofcourse i don't have deleted them myself)

Can be a bug, something on firefox that influenced r3dfox, or something other ?

Also, there is a way for copy all the credentials from firefox to r3dfox, so if this happens again, i can manage it ?

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Regards.

Not "exactly" what you are looking for, but a far superior (IMHO) method of password management - https://webextension.org/listing/autofill-forms.html

First, welcome to the MSFN forums  ; I take it you are using FirefoxESR-115, now on v115.27.0esr, supposedly to be EoL'ed on Win7/8.1 with the next, last, release v115.28.0esr ...

Do you, by any chance, have uBlock Origin installed in your FxESR-115 profile? If yes, there's a way you can continue accessing the full version of Discourse-based forums in FxESR-115; read this post ; basically, you'd have to create below custom filter: 

! Discourse-based forums
||*/browser-detect-$script,important

uBO -> dashboard -> My Filters -> add above code -> Apply changes (header of tab) -> exit dashboard

then delete discourse-forum cookies (for good measure) and reload the forum page...

Can you please be more specific? Which version is that exactly? 

Help -> About r3dfox -> ?

r3dfox has recently moved into a new GitHub repo, with new Releases section ... I'll assume you currently are in v140.0.4 (not the latest, BTW) ...

Did you just transplant/migrate your full FxESR-115 profile to r3dfox-140 ? Although r3dfox is Firefox-based, such big jumps between major versions are prone to profile corruption  ... I would advise you start from a clean redfox profile and then, progressively, tailor it to your own needs (settings, extensions, importing bookmarks from FxESR-115, etc.) ...

In FxESR-115, load about:logins (Password Manager); click the 3-dot-button (top-right) and you should see a context option to "Export Passwords"; this will save ALL your login credentials to a CSV file; via a similar, but now reverse, procedure, you can import this CSV file to r3dfox and have all your passwords restored! (Take good care of that CSV file, as it contains the passwords in unencrypted, human-readable, form).

Best regards  ...
